I have been thinking about starting this up for a while, so I decided to give it a go today to see if it draws any interest. If so maybe we can make it a sticky.
Not to take the place of the 6X5 thread which I will keep going as long as there are people who want to shoot it, but rather another way to see if we can raise the rimfire accuracy bar. I chose to keep this one only at 100 yards mainly because most people have access to 100 yards and the shooters and rifles who participate regularly in the 6X5 have progressed so far since the early days of that challenge that 50 yards is starting to get a little easy. I feel that 100 yards with a 22lr is as much of a test for the shooter as it is for the rifle and ammo. So lets see what we can do!
The rules are simple:
-All targets must be shot at 100 yards (or 100 meters if that is what your range is set up for and Ill arrange the results off of MOA not size so it is fair).
-I would prefer this challenge be shot off of a bipod but as in the 6X5 you can shoot off a front rest and rear bag as long as you are actually steering the rifle, let’s not use any sort of mechanical rest.
-All groups must be shot in the same day on the same target, same as the 6X5.
-No cherry picking or not scoring a “called flyer”, it has to be 50 consecutive shots.
-I will record the average size and the smallest group same as the 6X5.
