What will you use the shorty for? A micro dot would look great, but may not suit your function.

Being a T97 shooter, I've had to get good with my left hand. The great thing about mounting the scope like that is that you can make minor adjustments on the fly. The D2D scope is a nice piece. The eye relief is perfect, and minor changes can be done with the knobs. Thanks again for that!
A micro dot would be cool. But I'm thinking battle sights. The shortie 10/22 would be for fun. Basically something I could take out to the bush, and pick off pop cans. Maybe throw it on the back of the dirt bike and use it on the odd grouse too.

We should talk about the hundred rounder. I was doing some research, and they respond well to fine tuning of the feed ramp. I should have bought one from the Cloverdale gun show for $100. I made my best Revscene lowball at $80, but he wouldn't bite.
No Ragrets.

There is a little more liability with the magnum rounds, for sure.
I just got my 357/38 dies over the weekend and I'm looking forward to putting some rounds together.
Shooting is getting expensive with $10.99 CCI minimags and $54/20 for the 45/70.

Going in for back surgery tomorrow so should be able to shoot hopefully in the next 2 months. Had to sell my truck because i can't climb in and out and drive stick for a while. So ended up getting a treat for myself... not gun related though
