Got my 10/22 out to 200 for the first time yesterday.
Ammo was Eley Sport (~$3.50/box). Wind was 5-7mph gusts, left to right.
Fired a box or so at a big 50 yard slow fire pistol target to understand my adjustments and aiming. Then I set up the orange target you see at the bottom. The Burris scope my 10/22 came with ran out of elevation shooting this slower velocity round, so I had to holdover about 8 inches. I'll be getting a 20 MOA or 30 MOA base so I can deal with elevation more repeatably.
My friend's 10/22 with a stock barrel, standard but dowel-sandpaper floated stock, VQ trigger group, and $50 scope hit those big slow-fire targets with fairly cheap ammo. Groups were ugly, but the gun can do it.
Once I fine tune a bit I think I'll join you guys in the rimfire competition threads :-D.
