My new carry gun for on the hoe.

I picked up a .222 Rem. 14 in. barrel for a Contender at a gun show awhile back. I`ve been carring a .22 semi-auto handgun but have seen acouple of coyotes and so othe varments that were out of range of it. So I got the .222 barrel.
I loaded up a couple of hundred of the Serria 40 gn. Blitz Kings and done alittle plinking with it but never put it on paper untill tonite. Put it on some sand bag and fire a 5 shot group. Not bad for what I was shooting and as fast as I was shooting. I adj. my scope and tried again. This group was right where I wanted it and 4 fo the 5 shots came in at .620, I through the 5th., but would have still killed a squrriel. I was pretty happy for a handgun with a 14 in. barrel and a 2X scope. The group was shot at a lazered 100 yrds. and the aim point was a 4 in bulls eye, I needed it that big to keep from covering it up with my cross hairs. And yes, it is a factory T/C barrel.
I think I`ll keep it.
