I forgot to mention...have you SEEN the prices on the piston kits for the AR?! Sheesh...

Yes I have!

I'd be appalled but then I look down at the list of things we've bought in the past two years that go BANG and figure we could have bought a couple of them for what we've spent on friggin .22s!

Seriously, switching to shooting .22 didn't make shooting any cheaper. We just bought more guns and LOTS and LOTS of .22 ammo.

I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed shooting .22 lately! We've got a GOOD place too!...as long as my buddy keeps it bush hogged! It's 300 yards and we put staggered targets every 50 yards. We could probably stretch another 100 out of it, but that would put us close to a guy who has displayed unfriendliness and where we shoot now, he can't come near...not without us telling him to get bent and to go away. :-)

I've been shooting that little Ruger 10/22 Carbine Compact that I got for Christmas. :-) It's a blast! At 200 yards, it's a LOT like .308 at 600 (or so). I NEED to do something about the short stock though...it's way too short for me, but I'm just dealing with it right now. I'll probably also pick up a different barrel for it soon...and then it won't be a "carbine compact" anymore!... but that's O.K. :-)

Steel Match? ...as in plates? The PS90 is an "interesting" weapon... ammo is expensive though. :-)

Absolutely...give me a ring, and we'll go shoot something. :-)
