[RedneckCatholic]

I went with my son in law today with my 995 and my .22 to an indoor range. It's my first indoor range.

I thought it was nice to be able to shoot and not to be exposed to The Hawk. And the Machine that moved the targets out and back saved manny steps.

The 995? Well, I had one malfunction, my first malfunction, with the promag 15 rounder. It was the first time I used that magazine, both the individual mag and the type.

But I was trying to site in a red dot scope. It was an NcStar 1X42. No dice! The sight is supposed to work out to 1 minute per click. My groups were about 6" right of the target at 12 yards, so the correction should have been 24 clicks left. I ended up going over 40 clicks left with no movement in the point of impact. (The sight was new!) I got so frustrated that I removed the sight and shot with no rear sight. My group then sucked, but it was at least in the area of the bull!

Let me make this clear: after numerous rounds, I was more accurat sighting musket style than with the NcStar 1x42 red dot. I heartily dis-endorse this product.

Prior, with iron sights, I was able to get tight groups and on target. It's not the carbine.

So--skip the promag 15s, and avoid the NcStar 1x42 is now my advice.

In other notes--the Marlin Model 60 grouped well, even off hand, and the Rough Rider 22 put them all in the black at 7 yards when I used a two hand stance and my dominant eye. I'm cross dominant, so with a military stance, the group opened up a lot and only about 50% were in the black.

Oh--on an indoor range, an AR makes a lot of compression wave for other shooters, and the fanboy had bigger groups than I did with no rear sight on my "cheap" carbine. The RSO wanted to know where she might find one. Plus, she was lots cuter than necessary!
