Hey folks! I'm currently in my 10 day waiting period on a CS 452 FS I purchased, chambered in .22 LR. Cheap, low recoil, great iron sights, all around the perfect rifle to learn to shoot with. However, I've got two questions:
1) Even with a scope, how far out, competitively, should I expect a .22 LR to be capable of? 100 yards? 200 yards?
2) The question in my subject. What range do most .223 competitions shoot out to?
Basically I'd like to go competitive later on, but I know that I'll probably want/need a bigger cartidge for longer distance target shooting, and just wanted to know how well a .223 Remington would accomplish this.
Thanks in advance,
Cameron
