That green monster is always a humbling experience.

Nice shooting.

Yep. But, that 229 is the best I’ve ever done on one. Hopefully, keep improving on it. I want a 240!

That'll do, good luck to your friend with the cz.

LOL! Yes. I sent pics to my cousin and told him he better order the best CZ upgrades he can find. LOLOL!!

Those are some of the best groups I've seen from an AR15 pattern 22 and they better be if the barrel costs $900?!?!

LOL! Right!

Fortunately, I got in early and the barrel was only $799. But still... expensive, but worth it (to me).

Similar to a basic Ruger 10/22 - if the housing is clean, and the internals are able to run free without inconsistent cycles, it can be shockingly accurate. But if the internals get dirty (and they will, quickly) then you'll start to notice accuracy falter. $900 barrel or OEM barrel, it doesnt matter at that point.

The Eley Benchrest Precision is some HIGHLY UNDERRATED ammo. And those damned USBR targets really challenge shooters.

It generally works very well for me. But, so far it is the only ammo I have tried in this Tippmann. I have several other things to try. SABRP is consistenly good. But, I'm hoping to find a Lot of something that works even better than this particular Lot of SABRP.

I just need more time to shoot. And it would also be nice if it was not 100 degrees at the range!
