Long range rimfire

[812 rimfire]

Anyone know any places to shoot long range steel targets. Got a new tikka t1x .22 lr wanting to try some long range rimfire shooting

Check this forum for matches at Riley. Don't know what you consider long range, but they have (in the past) had shots out to 200yd in some of their programs.

You can view our calendar of events at www.RileyCC.com. The Long Range Rimfire match is typically the 2nd Saturday of each month starting in April, a weeknight match is held 10 days prior, also on the calendar.
Targets range from 75-240 yards, depending on your skill level. Newbies have targets at 75, 110, and 165 yards. As your scores improve, targets will be farther.
Equipment is based around what you would have on a normal varmint hunt. Simple bipod, shoulder the buttstock. No rear bag, no shooting jacket or heavy gloves, no wind flags, etc. We keep it pretty simple.
Happy to discus in person , my number is on the RCC website.

It'd be a bit if a drive over to Riley for you, but I can say, driving over an hour myself, that it's worth it.

I haven't been down there in a couple years, but it was awesome then, and they've only improved.

Always welcome, Nate! We were maybe still using knockdown targets back then? Now using swingers, 60 round matches, and we rotate 3 formats so it doesn't get stale.
812-Skill level is important. Some formats have the same targets...at 165 for newbies and at 240 for the better shooters. Come over and shoot with us, targets are sized at about 2 moa per the distance.

Definitely check out the matches at Riley. Depending on your definition of “long range”, you might also check out NRL22 matches. Most top out at 100 yd, but the targets are pretty small. Some places, like ProTEQ, I think add longer range targets for some stages too.

I'm also in Evansville and a regular at Riley. Great match, challenging targets and a good group of guys. Definitely worth the time to get there. Locally there are NRL22 matches at Westside Sportsmans club and Rimfire matches as part of the Precision rifle challenge matches at Red Brush.

Just checked with the match director at red brush, they stopped their rimfire match due to low turnout

He was planning on starting them up again, but has been doing a lot with prs and is spending a lot of time with a bigger match he runs
