Buy recommendations First range day .22 questions

Post image

Hey guys,

Went to the range for the first time a few days ago. Shot 200 rounds of CCI mini mag and then another 100 Aguila Interceptors through my Ruger 10/22. Overall it was a blast.

Now I’m looking to grab some bulk ammo for .22. Considering CCI Blazer as they run cheaper then mini mag but I wanna know what you guys prefer? Price, reliability, how dirty it runs, whatever drop your favourites.

Also, anywhere I could get a mag/speed loader for my BX-25 mags in the GTA? Please let me know!

Thanks.

Looks like Target. If you ever want to go shooting send me a DM. Always good to have shooting buddies.

Always so many nice people and staff at Target never have had any issues, looking forward to upgrading my membership from part time to full time

There are lots of good things about Target but also a bunch of bad things.

Good: staff is great. They are sticklers for the rules which is good at a range. They lend out handguns if you have a RPAL and extended membership. It's never too busy to get a lane. I've been going there for over a year, a lot, and have never had to wait for a lane.

Bad: the ventilation and the target systems. They need to spend some money to fix both but that ventilation is the absolute worst. There's a reason regulars and staff wear gas masks.

Yeah a few times have had to push the target systems with the broom to get it to move lol but I haven’t had too many issues with ventilation so far besides one time when a guy was going crazy with his shotgun then it was a bit of an issues although I haven’t been going as long as you have or as much since I’m currently in school and working 30+ hours a week but once the semester is done in April I’m gonna go to full membership. I’ve thought about Barrie as well but that has a wait list and forget Sharon Gun Club not paying 10K+ for a membership
