Feb 2009 - Rimfire Match!

[newdude]

I am gonna see if i can get in on this

Geneseo1911--Looks to me like 31 points, are you sure you counted right? If you counted the five on the left as a exrtra 10, they have to be fully in the black for that to count.

Hmm how hard will this be with only a 4x scope... hmmm I might have to go with the irons at 25 yards but those dots still might be mighty small... perhaps I'll do both with my CZ 452 lux. Just have to wait for this week to be over for next weekend.

 

[Geneseo1911]

Shoot. Sorry, I missed the bit about it being 100% in the black. I'll edit my post. Thanks for raining on my parade; I was so proud of myself!

 

[gvnwst]

Your welcome I wish it was different, if it was, i would be winning! But Quoheleth is....

 

[Geneseo1911]

I'll make myself feel better by telling myself I'm tied for first in the iron sights division.

C'mon guys; let's see some targets....and some rifles!

 

[Schleprok62]

Well... I think I will have a go at this... I've had a go with this one before...

[1858rem]

is that 35 or 40 points?

 

[gvnwst]

I think 35, the middle "5" is not touching enough.

32.....pulled the scope off my bb gun and used the marlin model 60, so much cheaper, but now im outta those to an gotta go get another bulk pak of the cheap rem stuff

 

[1858rem]

btw i have NO idea what happened on the 2nd row up 2nd column in.....TOTALLY missed it by a mile! could that just be the cheap ammo?

 

[gvnwst]

Could be. The ammo is known for being finiky...

 

[1858rem]

the 3-9x32mm powerline scope covers the last dot really well! for the bottom two rows i shot pretty fast since i couldn see the dots i squeezed the trigger as soon as i covered the dot.......its semiauto and cheaper than the 22 mag, any reccomendations to good lr ammo? i may just get one or two boxes of 50 since im just borrowing the rifle

 

[gvnwst]

If you can find eley match..? Or remington subsonic match. I found that my savage likes the bulk pack as much as any match ammo i can get around here. So, it is cheaper anyhow, right?

 

[1858rem]

lr is only about ten times cheaper than the mag to shoot lol! the bulk rem is 17 bucks in walmart, and i think im gonna get two boxes of winchester super-x@ 1.85/50

 

[1858rem]

18.12 was tax and all for a bulk pack of 550 remington here, but now im good to shoot at least a years worth of these matches( and hopefully get a little better at it!)

 

[Schleprok62]

Well, I caved to the pressure yesterday... I went and put a new .22LR on layaway at one of my favorite gun shops... Yep, a Browning T-bolt, and she will be coming to the party if not this month, next month for sure.

WARNING - Do not fondle one of these, you will not let it go back to the rack. They are EXTREMELY dangerous. Be careful, once it is in your hands, it will not let go...


LOL

Could you please share your technique for shooting less than 300 rounds of .22LR in a sitting? I took about 600 rounds when I went to shoot this match, and only managed to come back with about 200. Of course I shoot at my parent's house in the country, so it's not a problem to mess around with rapid fire or just plinking at stuff from the junk pile. Like an old CB radio...

 

[1858rem]

school, work, lots of driving in between, i have one day off a week and i mostly shoot target with my .204 and .308 since thats the only day i have time to let the bbl stay cool.

every other day i have about an hour between class/work and so any shooting i do is rushed, maybe friday ill try an shoot a 75 for this match lol

 

[gotime242]

Welp...todays shooting made me hate myself. It was windy as all heck and i just couldnt pull it together.

I got...a whooping..... 26

I come in last in my own thread!! lol

Marlin 7000
50 yards
Bench / Bipod
Simmons 6.5-20x50 scope
25mph gusting winds / 85deg F



The upper "2nd" shot on the bottom left was a flyer from something else i was shooting at to the left of the paper.

 

[1858rem]

Simmons 6.5-20x50 scope

geez!

what setting did you use?

 

[1858rem]

two tries at that bottom left one eh? my first try was with my 22mag thats zeroed for 125 yds so that was fun to try and shoot at 50yds, too expensive though, now i got 550 rds to use through the marlin 60 and my next post will be at least a 75

 

[gvnwst]

1858rem--you just wait untill my new scope arrives...... We may need a harder target.....

 

[1858rem]

i got 37 tries lol.

i am now thinking about getting a cheap used bolt action .22 at a pawn shop, i remember seein a few for about 50 dollars and need to get my own anyhow.

only reason i never got a .22 before is its nearly as cheap to shoot my 1858 Remington i converted to 45 colt, but the .22's are fun too!

 

[gvnwst]

Well, there are 6 boxes of 550 federal here, i can try too lol
