This was with a BSA 3-9 * 40mm .22 scope, from 100 yards at outdoor range. I was using the full 9 magnification. I have horrible visual acuity so using the stock iron sights from that distance is out of the question for me. Everything but the scope is stock on the ruger, except the first 25 rounds were from a butler creek banana magazine - the rest were from the two stock ruger magazines, for a total of 45 rounds. I had the rifle set on sand bags I bought from Walmart.
I just bought this scope yesterday, and this was my first time taking it out. Also my first time shooting this far with my .22.
There was a wind coming from right to left while I was shooting - I was aiming about 6 inches directly to the right of the bullseye, and what you see is the result. To give a sense of scale, my hand without fingers spread can cover about 95% of those holes. The few outliers are from when I was trying to get elevation/windage correct.
Any tips on making these groups tighter at this distance with that rifle and scope? Thanks!
At 50 yards, the bullseye area was a ragged hole about the size of an orange, and the wind seemed much less of a factor.
