I took one, then forgot to make a place for it in the narrative.

Gravel pit, actually, but close enough. At any rate, I don't expect that to be a particularly noteworthy experience. It's a straight blowback .22 with a fairly heavy barrel, so it should handle predictably.

Sure, there are a lot of advanced sighting devices that are useful in precision target shooting, beyond simple magnification optics like the sniper scopes of old. Mind you, there are a lot of people who get those things for the bling value rather than any technical advantage they convey, but correctly used, they do seem to have useful properties to offer. (Full disclosure: This is based mainly on reading and watching InRange videos; I have no personal experience with any of them. My skill level is such that it would just be blingin' in my case. :)
