.22LR Rifle Range Fun

[mcapo]

Slightly better pics of the rifles:

That Annie is just a good looking rifle!!

If Patience owned it, it have no doubt it’s a straight shooter!

 

[MindfulMan]

Whoa.....that's a special 'Annie', WT ! Dazzle my eyes !

 

[wtburnette]

Thanks guys. Yes, it's a beautiful looking and shooting rifle, even for a newb like me...

wbt, is that a rail of which the rings are attached that you added or is that a dovetail you bought rings to fit on it.

I ask b/c whenever I have a dovetail (like on the CZ), I put a rail on the dovetail so I have more flexibility in putting higher rings (cantilevers), in order to get the height & position I need closer to the head b/c of arthritis).

That Annie is a nice piece of equipment WTB. I remember shooting it and enjoying it.

Nice Annie! Obviously a very good shooter! Any idea on the type of ammo you were using?

On Annie? Those are some rings that patience sold me to go with the gun. I'm not fond on the type (vertical split, instead of horizontal split). They're very nice rings, but they were very difficult to setup vs the more traditional horizontal split rings. The height is fine for me, I think. I need to get out to the range with it as soon as it warms up to get a feel for it again.

Thank you both. It's a way better shooter than I am...

You're just being modest. Takes more than a little bit of skill to get groups like that, even with first class gear.

I've shot WTB's Annie and can attest it's a sweet rifle.

Thank you sir. What I need to do is get consistent, then I'll feel good about my groups...

Thank you for the kind words sir.

Tikka T1x all targets shot at 50 yds.

Ignore hole in upper left, that was first shot before adjusting zero.
10/22 with tiger stock

Need to drag them out and get some newer pics, of both of these and the Ruger American. Also need to get out and shoot some groups of some newer ammo, got some time off work for the next couple of weeks so don't have any excuses for not doing it.

CZ & Tikka are the best in my opinion.....

Finally got a membership at Marion County Fish & Game.
This is the 2nd time I've got to shot 100 yds.
I can't see where my shots are going at 100 yds.
The Nikon 10x50 binos aren't enough & the scopes on the rifles aren't enough either.
I will need to buy a spotting scope.

Today, and older man was there shooting with a spotting scope & he would let me know where my POI was so I could adjust the scope.
When I tried looking through it, it wasn't magnified enough for my eyes to pick up where the rounds were hitting.
I got most of the adjustments last week, but fine-tuned it this week.

The red is same size as a clay pigeon (4.3").
Ruger 10/22 @ 100 yds with a Nikon scope:

Ruger Precision Rifle @ 100 yds. with a Hawke scope:

Try using some targets that "splatter" - you'll easily see where you are hitting with some binos.

I agree. They are about at the perfect price/performance point for most people. I wish I'd had better luck with CZs. There is just something about them that I struggle with.

This is my go to rimfire.
10/22
Tac Sol threaded barrel
Gemtech GM22 can
BX25 trigger
Optic is now a nikon rimfire

Good enough for squirrels. Haven't really done a lot of bench shooting with it, but it shoots very well. Usually 1-2 inches at 50 yrds.

Got out again a little this afternoon. Mostly shot steel but put a few on paper with the T1x. Didn't feel like walking out to 100 so just shot the paper at 50 yards. I'm a little disappointed with the Standard +, it usually does much better. Got the feeling using the points of the diamond were causing me to string horizontally. First group was .345 with 4 in one hole then went to hell after that. The Geco I shot after the SK had a little horizontal stringing in one group where I used the point so that is my theory.

I was reading on another forum that guys use these reinforcement labels for precision shooting. Wish they had some a little darker in color.

Nice! Shots look awesome to me!
I hope to go tomorrow since I love balmy 40*+ degree weather!

Yeah, I can see how those would be useful. Aim small, miss small. I've got some stick on deals that are about 3/4" but those are almost too big for precision use.

Just looking for ideas to use for new targets. Ordered some of them and will use them this weekend. Some are designed like little donuts with sprinkles. Lol.
