The rifle, scope, and sling constitute the basic shooting unit. Other aftermarket options will be discussed in more detail in Chapter 12 and ammunition will be discussed in Chapter 6.

THE RIMFIRE HANDGUNS

In Chapter 3, an overview was presented of many of the rimfire rifles that are currently available. In the case of rimfire handguns, the primary uses for many shooters involve recreational shooting in the form of plinking but handguns are often used for hunting and dispatching pests. Rimfire handguns are not normally the first choice for defensive purposes although they may certainly be used in that manner. There is also a great deal of interest in formal target shooting (both paper and silhouette targets) for which specialized high-end equipment is required (see Chapter 12). These uses for rimfire handguns will be considered separately.

This Ruger Single Six Bisley model is a good choice for plinking and general sport shooting. Having fixed sights, it is not a good choice for formal target shooting.
