problems with 25 round magazine and 15-22 at koko-head rifle range?
« on: November 22, 2012, 02:27:12 AM »
15-22 noob question time.  when using the "hand rest stand" and a sand bag, does the m&p 15-22 and a 25 round magazine clear the shooting bench surface?  or will it touch? 

i only fired the 15-22 one time at the shooting sports fair...  and that was standing up.  i notice the 25 round magazine is longer than the AR's 30 round magazine.  i was just wondering if i should buy some short 10 round magazines or just get more 25 rounders.  thanks in advance. 

oh, and happy thanksgiving everyone!

Or buy the lower profile 10 round.  I had the same issue with my friends 15-22.

ok, thanks guys.  i do have a short harris bipod,  i remember vaguely having some sort of problems using the bipod with the 30 round mags on my AR, so i got some 20 round mags. 

i can't remember if it could clear by just using that little "hand rest stool" thingy and a sand bag.    well, i guess i will just pick up some 10 round mags for the 15-22. 

thanks.

thanks.  i am not familiar with a "Canadian prone". tried googling....  not much info i could find.  from what i understand, you use the magazine as the resting point instead of a bipod or stand?   i guess that is an option, but i would rather not use the magazine that way.

Prob with resting position with the mag, some guns may have feed issues.  I know it's a issue on the 10/22 with their banana mags and also the mini 14s with non ruger mags.  Not to sure if this can be said for the ar platform but food for thought
