Need some one younger and steadier to do the shooting for me.
Currently the guns are more accurate than I am.
Any volunteers?

I have an SBR and integrally suppressed here for the task.

I hate to quote group sizes as it varies so much by the shooter.
I got about the circumference of a quarter at fifty yards using a red-dot that was larger than the bullseye, on a windy day, with my wavering hold.
Two rounds touched.
147 Gr. Winchester.

So I'm confident that a better shooter and real optics could certainly get a very nice group.
I would put the usable range as being out to 150 yards, maybe 200.
You can certainly reach further but I expect the group and energy to be weak at 300.

Iron sights can certainly be done, I've just tried to keep it simple and the cost down.
Seems MANY new guns do not include factory iron sights anymore.
The 22-TCM I start with does not have them.

Glock mags go into my AR-15 builds, in several calibers.
And maybe the new project I am sort of working on for next year.
