Club 15-22

Reviving this one from the archives.

So, it seems my 22LR reserves are going to take a hit.
Took my daughter shooting a while back and opted to let her use the 15-22.

Running suppressed so there's no loud bangs or harsh recoil. Figured it was the right option for starting. And boy was I right.

The little one ran through 200 rounds before I eventually got tired of loading mags!

I assisted with stabilising the rifle for her but allowed her to do her own aiming with the red dot. Was quite happy with her accuracy and her ability to get the dot back on target after each shot.

Goes without saying that the rifle didn't have any hiccups at all.

That's fantastic. As spendy as .22 food is these days it's well worth the cost if it leads to the virus spreading. I'm glad to have been a cause of infection a good number of times and few things have been better suited as a delivery vehicle than a suppressed .22 long gun.

My mates 15-22 has accounted for 4 additional rifles sold that i know of. The virus spreads quiet easily, but it also helps if the host is receptive.

The 15-22 continues to be a crowd favourite amongst my kids.

Teaching them how to load mags on their own is been both good and bad.
Good cos I no longer have to load mags for them.
Bad cos now they'll shoot out an entire box off 555's without flinching!!

Goal for 2026 is to finally replace the handguard with something that's a bit more kief.

Perhaps a group buy seeing as it needs some specific tooling to remove the barrel nut?

Have you seen all the nice goodies for the 15-22 on the Magload website?

Haha, I once shot a Ipsc Mini Rifle league at Cullinan and I missed a lot of medium shots. That is where I found out how crap the foreguard is on a 15-22. Off the bench te accuracy was acceptable but when gripping the gun, strange things start to happen. So leer mens.
But the price on the Magload stuff hurts my wallet too much
