Do you have any links to explain what Rimfire challenge is? Never seen a match or know anyone that shoots it. Does it have to be a mag fed rifle?


Edit: nevermind I think I found it. Looks to be a variation of steel challenge style match. Now I understand the mag fed. I thought it was a precision style shooting. I may have to check this out.

Our goal is to continue to support the format established by Ruger Rimfire and continued by the NSSF Rimfire Challenge.

Very similar to Steel Challenge. Differences:

1. No fixed stage setups.
2. Targets per stage vary from 5 to 7.
3. .22lr only
4. You need both a rifle and pistol to compete. Scores are added together for the two guns for your final score.

Since you shoot 5 strings (attempts) on each stage having five mags for your gun moves things along. You could shoot with a revolver, like a S&W 617 using speed loaders.

Always found it odd that a match catering to new shooters requires 2 guns to compete. Not putting it down just think its odd. Heard they were looking for a range to hold their Nationals at.

It was started by a gun manufacturer (Ruger), at least Ruger was the original sponsor. A whole bunch of Mark pistols and 10/22s are sold for use in the Rimfire games. I've got 2 Mark IVs and a 10/22 myself.
