Question for the Rifle Guys

[CoyoteChallenger]

I was told by my shooting coach to find a gun that i liked shooting, put a scope on it doesn't have to be anything expensive and go out and get use to pulling the trigger at 100 yards over and over and then we can go further. so....

I grabbed my Cooey model 600 which i love to shoot and always shoots well and have looked into getting the Cabelas Turret Tactical Rimfire Scope. When i started looking for bases for this gun it was tough but i found one that will work. Its the Weaver #2 Side Mount. The Question that i have is how will this base mount my scope. will the scope be in line with the rifle or will it sit off to the side.

If you have any information or if possible pictures i would love to hear from you cause i am a little nervous about how this will work out.

Thanks Everyone

If you get the proper rings i would imagin that they would mount like this.

Yup.....but not as good as me.....if you come within 20' of me after a 10 day sheep hunt.....don't even need a rifle then

I like your minimalist no-frills approach to building a scoped .22: leaves lots of money for ammo and the time off work to practice-practice.

I practice with the 500-box Winchester X-pert 36grHP bought at Canadian Tire for $20, quite serviceable stuff in my match rifle. For silhouette provincials or nationals, I try to snag some match ammo (not Remington or Winchester), but at my low skill level the best match ammo grades are a waste of money.

My Cooey 600 still has its iron sights and shoots well - so I reckon you've got a good rifle to start with.

What's the magnification range of that Cabelas scope? I suggest that 10x is almost too low. A high end of 14x-20x is an advantage as this helps you see the wobble of your hold (or I should say the diminishing wobble since your training will gradually reduce that. Probably also helps with follow-through. I have a 6x-18x and could probably handle slightly higher magnification now.

CoyoteChallenger, can you tell us a bit about how you managed to snag a rifle coach, and what his/her shooting background is? There are some good practice targets downloadable from Pawel (Paul) R. Proszak's website (Paul Proszak, from Saskatchewan, is the current national champion) at http://proszak.sasktelwebsite.net/

i was given a name by catnthehat but in the mean time before i called him my dad was talking to one of his friend and i was given a phone number of a guy that was involved in Army and Law Enforcement Sniping. i met the guy and her started giving me pointers on form. Then he said that i was to get a gun and go out and practice this over and over. and that brings us to now.

It got pretty lucky!

I'll say.
