Well strictly speaking it's my wife's, as I bought this beautiful red and black .22 and a 100 Golden Bullets for her Valentine's Day present this year. :)

But of course I will get to do all the cleaning, so it's her gun but it's my baby.

I just bought the scope last week and sighted it in for her but she hasn't shot it with the new scope yet.

It's a Davidson's exclusive & I get a Davidson's lifetime warranty with it. Even better it's the 50th Anniversary Edition of the the Ruger 10/22.

The scope is the Vortex Diamondback. I got a good price on the rifle but I bought the vortex at Sportsman's Warehouse so the price was average or worse. It's not a bad scope I don't think it's as clear as my new Leupold but it's got Parallax adjustment down to 30 yds.

That's what made it desirable on a .22 rifle for someone with terrible eyesight. She should be able to shoot from 25 yards out to 175 yards with a little practice.

On my first trip to the range I was about four clicks off at the 25-yard Target. I made a couple really nice groups at 50 yards. I'll leave the rest of the sighting to the lovely Judy.

I know she'll do well with it because red is her color.

Nice....I'm looking forward to a range report and plenty of pix man....
 
Wow that last pic came out huge. I'm going to fix it.
 
Ok, no more range data, but some more photos to show off the wood.
