I was wondering if the a .22 rifle would ricochet off of it or would it just knock it over and keep going?

I believe the bullet hits the target, flips it which deflects it the bullet somewhat

It will ricochet off, but it will wring it. Around and be ready for the next round.

Depends how close you are. Some deflection will occur of course, but nothing to dangerous if you are set up responsibly. When you are 25 to 50 yards away it just bangs them back with standard .22 long rifle ammo. Out at 100 yards you might get a little more deflection, but not much, it still knocks them back on mine. I always set up so no one behind or beside could get hurt anyway. So far I have never had a ricochet.

NO! It will end up causing a jam in FA from the bolt closing on brass that "comes back". Fired a round at a time, it's VERY scarcely an issue. If you fire in 2-4 round bursts and kind of tilt the rifle towards the catcher's side to settle the brass at the bottom between burts, it's ok for that as well. For what most transferable FA weapons cost though, I'm not a big fan of ANYTHING that can cause issue. If you have a cheapie modern upper, this may not matter. If your gun is a period-correct unit then why risk the scarring around the ejection port from something like this. Yes, I have tried it in the arrangement you mention and more than once, so this is honest feedback and not speculation. Best of luck. NO!

Rimfire won't move it so you risk bounce back. It can take the rim fire no problem, but it won't give so the rounds may bounce back right at you. When you hit it with a center-fire round, it moves which absorbs some of the energy of the round.

I have only shot pellet guns into the trap. I am not sure about 22cal. I would think that it would stop the bullets at a closer range but you may have issues with them denting the back of the trap which could lead to richoets. Sorry I can't offer firm info.

Probably won't spin the target, but will make noise when you hit it. be careful of ricochet though!

Sorry, can't help. This was a gift for a grandson. I have not handled it. I did see him shooting it and it operated fine. He has an m4 he uses at the games.

I have used a .22 on it and it dents it. But if u dont mind the dents it holds up very well.

Yes, altho a few will hit the bakstop at just the right angle to ricochette back thru the target. Wear eye peotection.

It will make noise, but it won't spin around.. It's made for real guns...but I used mine for pellets.If you are wanting it, so you can see it move, then pass on this one.

Well, there are a few variables to your question. I shoot mine in my yard with no complaints from the neighbors, but I have 10 acres of land. It is quieter than a .22 and doesn't give a loud crack but it is not exactly silent. If you know your neighbors pretty well, you might pay them a visit and explain you are going to be shooting a pellet rifle and they might hear a "popping noise" from time to time. If they know what it is they might not be upset.

No...not without some duck tape and bailing wire...the barrel is even for a barrel mounted weaver track...unless you use duck tape to make it thicker....even duck taping he sight to the barrel won't guarantee that it won't be knocked off sight...proceed with caution.

If you find mounts for the rifle it will work but I think it's over kill. There are some excellent scopes that are lighter and made for .22 and air rifles. I'd give one of them a try.

It could with perfect shot placement and distance from target. In my opinion not practical at all. Too much chance of a cripple running off to die later. .22 caliber slightly better but not much. I would not attempt it.

It would depend on your weapon of choice. With a shotgun I would say no. With a rifle it might help with the drop of your round.

Not really, but it's difficult to say if it is the shooter, the gun, or the sight when it comes to accuracy. It could be that the mount on the rifle is off just enough to throw it off, could be the rifle itself being inaccurate, could be the shooter being inaccurate (no offense), or could be the sight. If you can try another sight, might help narrow down the problem.

Your .308 has a little more punch than my .223 - I found if you change the muzzle brake - it will calm it down quite a bit and help hold everything together better. I actually dropped my AR and it landed on the scope - after a quick dustoff - and a re-sighting - I was good to go. I usually check my scope for tightness after about every 40 rounds - 2 magazines.

If you can continue to shoot in the same spot, it will go through, but I have had it stick or bounce off most of the time.
