Could not find the what have you bought lately so here is another. Pretty excited. Pellet gun additions. The dan Wesson 2 1/2 in and the 347 crossman vigilante.

I picked up a new high velocity projectile dispenser yesterday. Just a little plinker. Probably put the rail on it that came with it for a red dot that I already have.
Ruger 10/22. Stainless barrel, synthetic stock. I've wanted one for a while and went to Bass pro because I had quite a few points on my CC.

Had one of first Ruger 77/17 rifles when they first came out. Hornady was the only ammo available and I had to test several lots of their 17HMR ammo before I found one that really shot. Like any rimfire, try a couple of 22LR brands and ammo lots to find what shoots. Then stock up on a year's supply once you find one that really works well.
Another tinkertoy for a close bud. 223 Wylde chamber, 8" twist pencil profile barrel, 16" long, has a bit longer Foxtrot Mike forearm so that he gets a longer sight radius using the flip-up iron sights. 3X Primary Arms prism optic and a 2-stage 3-1/2# RRA trigger. Cotton picker shoots pretty well from the bags. The muzzle brake gets your attention, but sight movement on target is very negligible. He'll use it for deer with 62gr Fed Fusion ammo with a 5rd mgazine.
Just about to pull the trigger on a CMMG Mk10 10mm AR pistol in charcoal green. Has anyone ever shot one of these? Any possible feedback would be greatly appreciated. If I do get it, I will shoot it and provide a detailed analysis. Thanks.
Edit: Waiting for it to ship. Got a 10% discount. I will report how it runs when I get it to the range. Now to buy some ammo. Sellier for the range. Underwood XD's for HD.

Get.the.Net,
It depends on the type of muzzleloader and powder you shoot. I own two stainless CVA Optima rifles and shoot Blackhorn 209 powder. I sight in, hunt and clean my rifle at the end of the season. If you have a blued steel barrel and shoot a more corrosive powder, then you probably should clean more often. It just depends...
I do agree that muzzleloader season is a nice change of pace. Very peaceful in the woods, none of my neighbors hunt the black powder season, public lands generally are not very crowded either. There is usually snow (this year there wasn't much) and I tend to see more natural deer movement and generally a little of the second rut. It is a fun time to be out for sure. I hold out for a mature buck during the 9-day gun season and if I need meat, will shoot a doe or two with the smoke stick. I like that most deer don't run when shot with that big .50 cal. bullet. Most drop where they are standing.

Cleaned the muzzleloader & put away, really like it. First year trying it. My dad said to clean it after every shooting session, so pulled the breach plug and clean her up. Put lube on breech plug and put back in. Is it necessary to do that after every use? Enjoyed shooting it, nice gun, is a dream to carry around, is built for deer trackers, so it balances nicely on the trail…. Just didn’t get enough tracking snow., enjoyed having the woods to myself….
Got out to the range a while back to test polymer-coated .452" SWC's in my new-ish M&P Shield. These groups were fired from a solid rest at 25yds. Have no idea of what the velocity is, but I suspect they are 900FPS give or take. Taking a 6 o'clock hold (tip of the front sight just touching the bottom of the black) while using glasses that allowed a crisp front sight. .
