You'll never lose interest in 22lr, I still have my first 22 my father bought for me for Christmas when I was twelve, I'm 71 now, and I still shoot it, it's a Sears ( marlin ) the purchase price was $29 new, it's no Vudoo for sure !!!

We all know you don't fake your shooting distances and you put out a ton of great content that's helped me a lot in starting nrl22 recently. It would be good to see a video of you and panther hollow having a friendly competition though.

My first 22 rifle was a J C Higgins, bought from I think a Sears store. A friend told me they were made by Winchester, tube fed bolt action. Received it for Christmas when I was 11 years old. Still own it. Use to hunt rabbit and, Quail in the eastern Mojave Desert of California. Was probably the best Christmas present I ever received, I was so excited. My mom tried to talk my dad out of buying it for me but, he did it anyway. I'm so glad that he did ! I sure hope KZfaq allows your channels to continue.

My parents took me to visit family in Ok. when I was 10yrs old from California. I had spent a lot of time with a BB gun as a kid. An uncle we visited has a marlin 39a and was plinking off the back porch, he asked me if I could shoot, I nodded. He put a shiny new penny roughly 100 foot away on a tree, my first shot was slightly off center but went clean thru Lincolns head (headshot, pure luck), I'm 54 and still have the penny, that Christmas was a new 39a under the Christmas tree, best gift ever, thanks mom and dad. Great video guys, loved the story brother

Grew up shooting 22lr’s of course. Had a shooting buddy that did silhouette matches. He had a kimber bolt 22lr that i loved so much i had to track something similar down. The cz455 had just came out and everything else was out of my $$ range or to cheap. I bought the 455 and had never even seen one. Got the same scope my buddy used and a yo daves trigger kit. My cz was about 97% of his kimber for half the money. This made me a rimfire and a CZ lover for life. I now own several more cz’s and about to get a 457. Great video, great shooting and looked like a awesome day with a buddy!

I started with my first rimfire Rem 572 in 1968. I was 12, I bought the gun new and still have it. During the recession in the 80's I hunted rabbits and sold them for $2 cleaned and ready, to neighbors. Most I ever killed in one day was 11. Was on welfare and cash made it so you could buy toilet paper. Also got a few deer with a flashlight, at night. Even shot and stunned fish swimming in the local creek. You did what you had to to survive. I follow both Josh and Chris. Both have excellent content. I think Chris has a job but wonder about Josh...LOL

GREAT SHOOTING ..!!!! CHRIS, JOSH ...!!! JUST PLAIN OLD FUN DAY ...!!!!! DOUBLE G. HERE ...!!!!!!!!

Great Video Guys !!! I gotta get in on some of that

Thanks. Looks like fun. Blessings

Great shooting. lots of fun. My first rifle was a Winchester model 290. I still have it and it shoots great after 55 years.

I got into shooting when I was a pre-teen with a Red Ryder and then a break open pellet gun. I would save up my allowance and buy pellets and bb's. Then I joined the military and shot a variety of weapons and became a Small Arms Instructor. Then I worked at a prison for a dozen years and was on the SWAT team. But what really got me hooked on rimfire shooting was when I moved to Idaho. There are ground squirrels here by the ton. I had a Ruger 10/22 that I took out, but it didn't have a scope. It was time to figure out how to use a scope. For some reason I wanted a bolt action rifle so I bought a Marlin 25N and put the scope on that. My favorite 22 rifle for many years ended up being a Norinco JW-15 with a 3-9x40 scope on it. My daughter and her husband now have that rifle and it still is a tack driver. My friend got me into silhouette so I got a S&W 22A and put a pistol scope on it. Then over the years I went to a Henry lever and a peep sight. Then I took my son to a 22 NRL shoot and my pursuit of accuracy really kicked in. I am old now, and never really was a contender for competing, but I always had fun. I have a few rifles that really continue to make things fun...Bergara B14R, CZ 455 Trainer, Tikka T1X, and a Savage BRJ. A real passion that I have grown is building Ruger 10/22's. So many fun options to put together and when I'm done, there is always somebody wanting to buy them off of me; and I use the money to start a new one. Keep up the great videos!

Great video guys , funny to watch.

Awesome and fun shooting to both of you

Even y’all’s bad rounds were dang good!!! Start for me was a Glenfield 25. Enjoyed this video! Y’all take care!

looked fun brothas. midwest longrange is an awesome channel been watching for a while.

This channel reminds me constantly how fun and relaxing shooting 22 should be. Great vid!

Great video. I've seen Chris's videos, watched the series on the Boyd's stock, and am working on getting pillars installed and bedding my new 457 Varmint in a Boyd's Pro Varmint.

A couple of Good Ole Boys having FUN, that's the way it's supposed to be. Great video.

I purchased my first 22-caliber LR bolt action rifle after watching your videos, the 10-22 still sits in the corner garage. The cheap rifle Ruger American Predator Rim fire 18" barrel; no competition for me just for fun gun. I am 71 Additionally: I have a Vortex PST 5-25X50MM PRS reticle mounted on nothing, If I received some funds I may buy Bergara B14r. Update: No Bergara B14, but the Tikka T1x 18” barrel my cost $649, Bergara $1000.

That was fun to watch! I started loving rimfire at the Boy Scout Camp range, shooting 10/22's with range ammo and iron sites. So much fun! We lived in the city, so that was the only place we had a chance to go. I currently compete with my buddy at the range for ice cream. I bring 2 CZ's and we shoot the same lot of ammo. He's getting better, but I really like ice cream. So I swap ammo for ice cream. It is all good! Josh needs a MWLR t-shirt for his win. Just saying Chris.

Great shooting fellas that was fun to watch very impressive hitting moving targets . I too split many cords of wood , it was good for me . We lived in the country in British Columbia I had a Remington 64 with the nylon stock my Dad got me when I was 12 years old was so darn proud of that gun and I still have it . Keep up the good work I look forward to more of them.

Fellas great shooting as USUAL you boys are the truth. The camaraderie and fun just jumps out of the screen.

I watch Chris's channel. I watch both your channel's. Learned a lot. Think my next rifle is going to be a Bergara B14 R. Fun watching you guys compete.

You fellas can really work a bolt action! So Impressive!

That was a fun video. Both of you are damn good shooters.

I grew up on a farm and my first rifle was my mother's Ruger 10/22 sporter that she taught me to shoot with. I also had ammo as an allowance but I got Winchester Wildcats that were 97¢ a box back then and I mostly hunted pests and varmints with the occasional squirrel or rabbit.

Hey Josh, Mike over at Panther Hollow has asked his subscribers (I follow him too) to a shooting competition. I can 100% vouch that Mike is a stand up guy as I have actually talked and texted with him. I totally support the rimfire shooting community and think these challenges are good for the sport. Take care brother

L3I mag for the win! Great shooting guys! Very entertaining

It’s looks like you had fun, good video Josh shooting with your friend 👍

Loved it. Keep up the great work.

Really entertaining. You both together are the best !!!

Good shooting guys...see even at 50yds with the KYL you can get creative and make the challenge interesting with the timer. I always take a deck of cards and masking tape with me. I circle cut the cards and place them in between the top gaps of the swingers. Sounds easy..not with the timer set at 30 sec. Enjoy

Nice shooting guys. Started shooting ground squirrels and gophers growing up.

GR8 VIDEO THNX GENTS 🎯🎯

That was a excellent video 👍👍👍👍

Fun watching

Nice shootin' fellas! Enjoyed it!

Set your sights on Ray over at X Ring. Head to head would be interesting.

Got started on a marlin model 60

Panther holler just called you guys out!

3:38 🤯 you can shoot 😱🎯💯 WOW

Comment for the tuber vs tuber showdown

I'm gonna buy a cz 457 LRP next month, I once shot a Walter 22 and just fell in love

Great video

Great video!

Panther Hollow is calling you out. Sounds like a great match.

That is awesome, great shooting That 1/4 inch target is hard to hit

Panther hallow says he’s down for a shooting competition guys! Better get after it!

Cool competition

Top tip don't try that with the older kyl rack with the black plastic inserts for spacers they shatter even with a air gun 🙈

Panther hollow has call both of you out on a shootout which I think would make an awesome video! Keep up the good work guys!

Nice

I always enjoy your videos. I'm sure you know Panther Hollow has challenged you. Skin that panther!!

Oh yes My granpa showed me how to split fire wood with an axe. With a double headed axe you swing and just before you hit the wood you roll the axe just slightly and with straight grain wood the axe will flop over and the axe will throw the the piece of wood about 10 feet. when I was in my 50s`I could split 2 rick of wood in an hour and I would have to set down and rest. If it was straight grained I could split any diameter wood you could come up with. I did it in the mountain on wood logs over 30 inches in diameter. At almost 70 I would be lucky if I could split one log now. My brother and I bought one of the first color TV`s in the sixty at 5 dollars a rick. He had to have a hydraulic and Dad built him one but people would be amazed at the mound of wood we had piled up. You couldn`t put it into a 20x20 room because we had it stacked to high. Those were the days then my dad said if I had know I wouldn`t have dozed out so many trees.

Hey Josh, Mike at Panther Hollow has put out a challenge to a shoot off! Missouri Showdown!

Mike over at panther hollow is calling you guys out.

Nice shooting. Have you seen where Panther Hollow called you and Chris out? That would make a good one to watch.

Hi Josh, I like your videos a lot . Mike from Panthers Hollow challenging you for a match. I love to see you challenging Him with your best CZ 457 vs his Bergara B-14r. I bought to cz 457 because of the videos I watched from you. Now I have a chance to win a Arken scope, LOL. The video will be niceeeee.

It would be fun to watch you guys pay the battleship target game. If you ever get together again.

Mike at panther hollow is giving away a scope by calling both both of you out to a challenge. FYI. Love your videos keep it up

Hey Josh, Mike over at Panther Hollow is looking for some shooting competition. Do it!

I would like to see more about the arken scopes

Hey Josh! Mike over at Panther Hollow is calling both you & Chris out for a shoot out! He says he is just down the road so wouldn't it be awesome to have 3 youtube channels shoot it out!

Haha loved this video guys

Hey guys nice shooting. I would like to see a 22 long rifle match With Josh And Chris shooting against Mike and Joe ray the Cyclops. I would like to see some shooting done with factory stock rifles.

HEY ...!!!! JOSH, CHRIS ...!!!!! MIKE AT PANTHER HOLLOW SAID HE WOULD SHOW YOU HOW TO SHOOT ..? ? ? CALL HIM OUT ...!!!!!! LOVE TO SEE A HEAD TO HEAD ....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOUBLE G. HERE ...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys are having way toouch fun! BTW, Pather Hollow is challenging you and Chris to a match 🙂

Rumor has it you short change your yardage, I think a 100 yard challenge with panther hollow will show real results

Could you use a torque wrench to set the receiver bolts (do you know the setting) ?

Looks like Mike is challenging you guys to a match. Let's do this!

Theres has been a challenge offered up to the both of you guys by Mike at Panther Hollow. You guys need to check his latest video as he has called you both to the mat. GOOD LUCK

Hey Josh, Mike's flapping his gums over at @pantherhollow and I need that scope!

Wow Josh I had about the same thing except my brother and I started with pellet guns my Sheridan and his Crossman. Dad always made sure he got the best of everything. We got 22`s when we couls afford them because ever at 25 cents a box mom had to save to get some. I got a Mosberg brother got one of the first 10/22`s. When I was in my 50`s I had my BACK OPERATED ON AND A TITANIUM ROD PUT IN after many years of bouncing on a backhoe and I drove my pickup into the woods and set and nap then when I would wake up I shot squirrels. I got to where I was shooting about 20 in 2 hours in my dads pecan orchard and he said one day after 30 years of tell your going to kill them all off to saying eagles, coyote, bobcats, and foxes have to eat to so I always picked them up and he ate the young ones and I laid out the old ones and no matter where I put them they were always gone the next day. I did that every day from june to november and in 2 hours I could do the same and after that all the neighboring orchard wanted me to clean out their squirrels and I did it on my own gas and bullets and after a year they all where smilling because they rarely saw something they use to see 20 or 30 anytime the went into their orchard. If you ever went into a pecan orchard you can understand the amount of squirrels I thinned out. They will come back in time.

A little off topic but would love to see a video on the best way to remove that damn carbon ring , my cz457 varmint mtr and b14r It’s being super stubborn I’m using boretech rimfire blend. Any ideas

Panther Holllow is calling you guys out. Josh go shut him down brother!

Challenge Panther hollow to a 100 yard prone factory 22lr rifle nail head targets.

How I got into rimfire? I'm too lazy to reload.

Great content, get some of your KZfaq fans out to shoot with you! Wondering what chis did with his foundation stock? Why the switch to the manners?

No wonder you used first to last shot with that failure to feed the first round every time😜

Panther Hollow is calling you out for a shoot off Josh!
