Ruger 10/22 LVT range report

[ford8nr]

So I picked up blued LVT last year and really enjoyed it. Outdoor league season just started this month. First Sillouete Praire dog match, shot from a bench, 5 targets at each distance, 25, 50, 75, 100, mag chance, 100, 75, 50, 25. Went 40/40 in 78 seconds. 2 seconds faster then the record time last year (mine). Shot a 3 gun match this weekend, they also have a 'cheap shoot' where you can run the whole course with a .22 rifle. All targets are 8"x 8"x 7/8" steel plates, except the 225yd are 1/2" thick for .22 Course is 10 at 25yds, 5 at 50, 5 at 75, 5 at 100 and 5 at 225yds. Total targets 30 all offhand except 225 is prone without artificial support. You get 30 seconds a bank, unlimited ammo. My split times / bank ran right around 10 seconds. Shot a 28/30 leaving 2 at 225yds in a gusty 10-20mph wind blowing right to left.

The LVT is definitely a keeper!

They are very accurate.

You must have gotten a good one, no Ruger ever shoots that well (or fast) in my hands. Excellent shooting!

This one has shot great right out of the box. All that I've done is polished the trigger group and 'break the edge' if the sear. Trigger is right around 3-1/2 lbs. Shot a 20 rd group at 50yds you could cover with a dime after initially setting up the scope last year.
