needed some offhand rapidfire work:

To help you better understand the actual match I was practicing for in the video, I looked in the desk drawer for an old Rapid-fire Rimfire score sheet and found a couple of my best efforts. One was fired with a Winchester 190 semi-auto that was a closet rescue from my next door neighbor (I paid her a fair and honest $100 for it). Her Daddy had put it away decades ago. I cleaned it up inside and out and found it to be a reliable and accurate plinker (very heavy trigger though). The other was fired with the rifle used in the video, a CZ 452 American. Our best RFRF competitors use Semi-autos to post scores in the teens on their best days — a couple of 11s and 12s have been fired. On those days they have a machine-gun-like rhythm!

I have a Sears version of the Win 190 that is a very good shooter ... I have killed many head shot squirrels with it in the oak flats ... it does pretty good on paper with the right ammo ...

Never shoot the above game ... looks like fun ...
 
Some folks have low regards for the 190. I have really enjoyed mine. And yes, our Rapid-fire Rimfire Match is a hoot. We have been shooting one slowly evolving variant of it or another for 25 years.
