I will give it a go in the next few days. I will use a Savage mark 2 and a 17 HMR just because that is my current caliber of fascination.

Good thing yer just shootin at paper, cause on my steel "rimfire" range you just got moved back to 100 yards to avoid damage to my steel. 17hmr & 22wmr bends the hanging arm, and dimples the steel up close.
The good news is that I have a 9 target 1"-5" in 1/2" step .22 KYL rack for 100 yards and beyond.
I really enjoy these ridged swinger/spinner style multiple decreasing in size target racks!
The ridged swinger/spinner just doesn't hold up very well to too much impact without a heavy "arm" which takes away from the target itself.
Me too but I need to buy an accurate 22 first. This levergun is fun but not gonna cut itI would love to have one of those tiny KYL racks for .22 LR.
Not coincidentally about the time I stopped shooting PRS. Dictating stupid rules that take the fun out of the game. Funny how everyone I talk to thinks matches used to be more fun.But ~3yrs ago, the mothership passed a new rule in which stage designs could not include penalties which caused shooters to lose points which had been earned.

We all have good and bad range days.Tried the challenge. Was a bit too windy, so not good results. Not worth posting.
Sorry, but the challenge is for 22LR as clearly indicated on the thread title and on the target so your submission is disqualified. (17 HMR is much flatter shooting than 22LR) I think the cute dog even agrees.I didn’t take the 22 because it was too windy to bother but I did get out my 17 HMR.
“Real World” 22LR 50 Yard Challenge
I guess picking the wrong parents is continuing to pay off (Ah, the joy of spinal stenosis, etc.) and as I wait for my cataract surgery in both eyes starting next week (Thankfully surgery will help with Glaucoma and maybe optic nerve end damage), I thought about starting another myth busting thread while I undergo surgeries and recovery for the next several weeks.
Found this video where 22LR shooters start with 2" metal swing target and proceed down to 1/4". Shooting stops when smallest target is missed and scored with largest target hit.
I duplicated the same challenge onto a copy paper pdf. This is "myth busting" challenge as members are expected to take cold rifle/barrel and commence shooting without warm up to see what the "real world" accuracy is. If you need to zero the scope, you can do it with the 2" circle.
Challenge rules:
My hope is members "myth bust" or "confirm" actual accuracy of their 22LR rifles and ammunition.
- Expect members observe the honor rule in actually "measuring" out to 50 yards (No pacing).
- Without warm up, shoot one shot per circle.
- If you cannot see the circles, fill in the circles you can't see.
- If bullet hole touches line, continue to smaller target (As steel plate would have moved).
- If hole is outside of line, stop shooting and submit target with information added to the table by taking a picture of completed target.
- Additional submissions can be done using different ammunition.
- NOTE: If you KNOW your rifle is capable of shooting sub 1" at 50 yards, I have no issues if you want to start out at 1". I think starting out with 2" circle would benefit those members with "non-match grade" rifles.
Here's the target pdf for the challenge - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...9/&temp_hash=1dd6363a6811f17cac47cc85e39e57e0

So far, our current score for the challenge: (If we have a tie for same size ring, we will use whoever is closer to center as winner)
- maxxhavoc: 0.75" - Tikka T1x, Leupold Rifleman 3-9x, 88 degrees, 80% humidity, Aguila Super Extra SV, Caldwell Front and rear bags
Good analogy.first few shots to try to get a handle on the wind and the last 2 or 3 shots are a pop quiz on what you learned.
We all have good and bad range days.
Give it another try on a calmer day.
Since the challenge was meant for cold barrel, I will score the first target.Shot this today. Indoor range, Prone off a mat with a small bag and bipod ... #1 was shot from a cold bore. #2 was better.
... members are expected to take cold rifle/barrel and commence shooting without warm up to see what the "real world" accuracy is.
I bought a Crimson Trace scope 50% off a few months ago, and mounted it on my very new to me Vudoo (Spent a bonus I don't normally get on it). Now all I need is to sight it in and try the ammo I have in it.
I have four types of "match" .22 LR ammo. Lapua Center X, SK Rifle Match, SK Long Range Match, and SK High Velocity Match to try in it and the Bergara.
