Rimfire Target shooting

pmslI went back out to test ammo in the T1X. The wind was really clipping so I shot at 50 yards. SK Biathalon screwed them all into a 30 caliber when I didn't screw up. GECO "Semi Auto 22LR" shot very well for a $2.25 a box ammo. Most into a a small ragged hole with a couple out but still under 1/2 inch. Norma Match and Norma TAC both exhibited unaccountable fliers. Three out of ten, from three different rifles: A Ruger Precision, a CZ 452 Varmint and my T1X. All groups were 10 shots.
You tend to forget how strenuous it is to shoot small bore for group off a bipod. It is hard to concentrate on follow through especially when the weather isn't cooperating.
To reward ourselves for such dedication we pulled out steel targets and the binary triggered AR-22's and burned 1500-1700 rounds of 22LR in about 2 hours. It was all grin-worthy. Very much fun...~Muir

What level of competition will you be shooting? If it's not too serious, try one of the old, classic .22 target rifles, such as a BSA Martini International or a BSA Century; they're all available dirt cheap. The old Russian Vostok rifles can also be had very cheaply.
In many cases you can buy a complete rifle for less than £100 and when you grow tired of it, scrap the rifle and sell the sights separately and make a profit.

You can also shoot in the Classic and Veteran Winter League Postal Competition. Which along with other interesting info you'll find here.

Very nice shooting. Was that 25m ?My old 50 year old BSA Martini still seem to work ok.
25 Yards Andy - Unfortunately the days when I could do this prone with aperture sights are over - this was off a bench.
