Re: Ruger 10-22 target tactical?

Yes. What makes you think it would not be legal?

[ArmednReady]

mainly because california sucks lol everytime I want a gun I look into it and find out its not legal, question with that rifle what would be the effective range of a kill? If you were shooting a person or animal with that rifle with a powerfull scope whats the absolute maximum distance it would kill a person or animal? As you can see Im dont know much about .22LR

Why the hell are you talking about killing a person? Depends on the size of the animal. Rabbits, squirrels, etc... are potential one shot kills out to 200 yards or so, depending on your accuracy. The main issue is accuracy for a clean kill, and a slight breeze will knock a 40 gr .22lr bullet all over the place. They are for plinking and for hunting small animals (for a clean kill)- it is all about shot placement. A .22lr CAN kill a person, but why are you asking?

i sure hope for his sake he is asking can it be used for home defence

I suggest you do a little light reading on CA firearm restrictions. They are not terribly complicated and it will help you stay out of trouble down the road.

On a personal note, if you are set on a rimfire I would go with the "carbine" not the "target tactical". The bull-barrel(and optic) add a lot of weight especially on the front end. IMO If you plan on using a 1022 as a HD, which is already the incorrect tool for the job, you would want the light/very handy, classic 1022, not the front heavy 3-9x magnification, target rifle.
(I have had my 1022 in both configurations)

From point blank to 100's of yards depending upon where you hit your target.

The 22 rimfire cartridge is usually a small game and target round.

I thought I read on previous threads that the OP was a LEO, if that's the case then he is just trolling.

OK...
as to the target tactical...
have one ....

was so accurate that a regular rifle scope wouldn't work... the parralax error at 50 yds was so great that if I so much as changed shooting positions the group moved...
had to buy a leopold .22 rimfire scope...

the gun will shoot 10 rds of wolf into a dime at 50 yds outa da box...scary fun accurate... will do an inch with rem. golden bullet and split the diff. with mini mags...
a definite must buy...and very well balanced...

shot it the other night again...cool gun....

works really well with my steel lips 25 rd mags....

wish you could buy those too

this is a great gun if you have a great scope... if you are going to put a marginal scope on it..
forget it and buy the cheapest 1022 you can find and be happy...or play erector set and build your own franken22....

but the ruger gun...outa da box is crazy accurate..you just wont realize it with a marginal scope...

Well, a red dot sight adds +2 to accuracy, a vertical foregrip adds +1 to stability, and a banana clip adds +3 to damage.

It might make the difference between life and death on your next attack roll, duder.

You forgot about a silencer +10 on evading enemy radar!

Aaaaand the thread degenerates.

I've got one, great plinking gun. I had a red dot scope on mine, worked great for my 25 yard plinking. Now I've got a normal cheapo NCStar zoom scope on it, still works great at 25 yards. Just don't expect to be sniping people with it....

I have to admit a red flag went up when I read ArmednReady's statement as well, when he asked if it could kill a person. But for someone who doesnt know a lot about guns and ammo like the round size, Muzzle Velocity or Energy of a Round this is a Legit inquiry for a SHTF scenario. now I'm not defending him by any means and his question does make me a little suspicious as well. CH555 said it best though "it is all about shot placement" I have heard from other Marines that they have dumped entire magazines of .223 into insurgents in Iraq and they still kept coming (granted they were using mind altering drugs to be able to withstand the pain) 1 properly placed round is all that you need though.

Ok let me clarify before I even finish reading the replies, I am looking into a rifle obviously I am either looking into getting a Kel Tec SU-16CA or the Target Tactical the reason Im asking about the stopping power is because im just looking to see what it can do, im not some murderer or hitman lol. Im just looking for a fun rifle to use but that can also be used in a defensive situation. I know the kel tec is a .223 and the rounds are almost not comparable but I want a fun rifle for the range and that could possibly save my life if need be.
