went out with my wife plinking today, still breaking in the Titan GP but thought I'd goof around with zeroing the scope so zeroed it for now at 10 yards (when i go through the 500 tin I have I'll zero at 30 yards) but at 10 yards i was getting quarter sized groups in the off hand position. pretty happy with this AG so far

I had a pretty good day shooting yesterday, hoping for an even better day today! I have a four acre spread so I'm fortunate enough to be able to shoot in my backyard. I have 3 targets set up, one at 20 yards, one at 35, and one at 50 yards. I only have two air rifles, but with my slightly modded 2100 I was shooting 3/8th inch groups at 20 yards, 5/8th inch groups at 35, and a little over 1" groups at 50. Lined up some beer bottle caps at 35 yards and hit each one on my first attempts, minus one where I think I had a flyer. Grabbed a few unripened pears that fell off of my pear tree and was hitting them with consistency at 50 yards. It may not be the greatest rifle, and it has its shortcomings, but man 2100's are fun as heck to shoot!
EDIT: Shooting from my little makeshift shooting table with a "V" notched 2x4 bolted down as a rest. Shooting while standing is not quite as accurate since the 2100 is so darn light, but with practice I'm getting better!

Yesterday, I was able to sight in the BSA 3-9X40AO on the Vantage NP @ 10yds (indoor) and then 25 yds outdoor. Need to check the 35 yd (backyard range).
Also did the centerpoint 3-9X32 (original vantage scope) on my progressing 1377 carbine @ 10 yds indoor range.
Hopefully, get to my 10/22 to sight in the Leapers 4-16X40AO on my 50 yd field range.
Yes, living in the country has advanages!
PS: old woodstoves make excellent cellar pellet traps.

Yep country living does have many advantages, but I'm a city dweller and have to drive about 8 miles to get to open space to shoot

8 miles isn't too bad of a haul for a good shooting spot though. Before I bought my house I'm in now I lived in an apartment and any time I wanted to pop off a few out of my powder burners I'd have to make a 30 mile trek to this little shooting range I enjoy going to. There were other options that were more close by, but I quickly became friends with the folks who ran the place, so it was a great friendly atmosphere. They'd even let me try out different firearms free of charge that they would have normally rented out to other customers. But, since moving out to the county I don't miss city life one bit. It's pretty neat to sit out on the back porch at night and hear owls hooting every night. I have a roaming band of coyotes that like to frequent my spread, but a few flashes with a 5 million candle power spotlight is more than enough to get them to turn tail and run.
One of the first things I did after moving in was I had my neighbor whose a farmer come over with his backhoe and help me build a 6 foot tall, 20 foot wide crescent shaped berm as a backstop for my powder burners. We've shot everything we can get our hands on at my berm, .44 mag, 30-06, .303, even a .45-70! Stops 'em all. Still waiting to try .50BMG though.
Well I suppose that's enough rambling. Am I making it obvious that I'm an excited first time homeowner?

Congrats on the new house and you picked a great time to buy too. I'm stuck in a townhouse and limited to indoor shooting and Illinois laws.

I didn't get the ruger out, yesterday.
But, I did brush mow a 25' runway for a future 100 yd range.
