    100 yards

    Gunner:super:

    Great shooting, great rifle and great ammo! Which model Annie are you shooting? .22's are far under-rated in my book. What more can I say?

    91/30 trigger

    I lucked out with the trigger on mine. Of course it's no target rifle and yes it's heavy, but mine is crisp and pretty smooth.
