Is it a good starter setup?

[u/Dream1nhell]

So after my recent post, i choose to start with a .22lr rifle for shooting range(100-300yards),it my first gun ever and i want to know guys if this setup it decent? My total budget is lil bit under 2k$ cad. Thanks you

( i have difficulty to choose the scope,too much specs to look)

Get some nicer ammo but you won’t be disappointed with that build. Nothing is overtly top of the line but it’s all solid stuff to get started and enjoy the sport. Have fun with it brother

Wich ine you suggest? I dont know anything about the ammo

CCI standard velocity for ok but cheap SK Sandard Plus for fancier but quite a bit more consistent.

I like Federal Automatch, but most of the CCI will do you well.

Aguila quality control is pretty bad- you get one decent box, one box that jams every third round, and one box that is nothing but squibs and slow-burns.

Genuinely you should buy one box of as many different types as you can reasonably afford, then go shoot em one at a time to find out what your gun likes.

Some guns, even same make/model, vary wildly with ammo preference. I've seen expensive guns shoot very well with cheap ammo and I've seen expensive ammo that won't group for shit. Part of the fun is the sciencey bit of figuring out what you and your setup like best.

Rule 1 is have fun and shoot lots!

This has been true of my four 10/22s. Three would take anything I fed them, one only seems to take Aguila.

cci mini mags have always been good with me

[u/tonyarkles → u/SecureNarwhal]

More details elsewhere in this thread but, yeah, my RPRR loves mini-mags more than any of the fancier stuff. Which is great, since the RPRR and the 10/22 share mags and my 10/22 also likes them.
