The Rimfire Buffalo is designed to give you back-and-forth action while reinforcing accurate shots with instant visual feedback. Two holes in the steel buffalo head plate make room for a rear swinging plate that swings from side to side when shot. Whether you’re a cowboy action shooter or you just have a thing for animal shapes, this target is guaranteed to make any day at the range more fun. The shooting surfaces of the Rimfire Buffalo are all made of 1/4" AR500 armor steel and are designed to take years of heavy use with .22 rimfire ammunition*. The rear swinging plate is easily installed without tools, and its no weld design means a longer product life and a much smaller chance of breaking. The provided PT Practice Stand also makes the Rimfire Buffalo easily portable with a collapsible base and convenient carrying handle.
