Marksmanship is a perishable skill. Here’s the combo that will make your marksmanship development and maintenance fun, easy, and way more frequent.

Shoot ON contributor Larry Case made a great point in his recent article covering the Christensen Arms Ranger 22 and Ruger RXD22Ti suppressor:
As an old mentor shooter and reloader told me long ago, “You need a .22 rifle to just shoot.” By that he meant you can do a lot a shooting and working on your marksmanship skills with a .22 rifle. (More than you would normally do with a centerfire.) You can do it cheaper and with less noise, especially if you employ the use of a suppressor.
Well…squirrel season is fast approaching, and I have a custom-assembled 10/22 that shoots better than it should and is topped with an RXD22Ti suppressor. Since I had a range day scheduled for a centerfire rifle test, I figured I should take Larry’s mentor’s advice and brought my 10/22 along for the ride…
