Here is my October Lucky 7 score - (By the way, don't pay any attention to the score on the target as I wasn't getting my head wrapped around the math for some reason), and my 100YB-25RD score;

Lucky 7 - 100 Yards - Bench

NAME: Joe Martin
CLASS: S (Simmons .22 Mag 3-9x32 AO)
RIFLE: Marlin 80 (Sears & Roebuck 1964)
AMMO: Remington GB, 1280 fps, 36 gr
Score: 152-3x


100YB-25RD

NAME: Joe Martin
CLASS: S (Simmons .22 Mag 3-9x32 AO)
RIFLE: Marlin 80 (Sears & Roebuck 1964)
AMMO: Remington GB, 1280 fps, 36 gr
Score: 25-10x

The Remington Golden Bullets surprised me! I have some that I got years ago and never really had much luck with them, but they seemed to preform ok in this particular rifle I used this morning. The action was getting a bit stiff from the fouling of these "dirty" bullets, but they did ok I think. Not my first choice naturally, but these days I want to save my good stuff. Also, didn't shoot the 100YB-TQ-4 as I forgot to take some of these targets to the Range with me. I'll catch it later this month and posted the results here.

********************************************

Ok, shot this target this morning after changing out my scope on the Marlin 80 (used last week) and installing a Tasco Target Varmint 6-24x42 AO Mil-Dot scope. Also, I changed ammunition to the CCI Standard (1070 fps 40 grain lrn) and zeroed in at 100 yards with it. I cleaned this particular rifle after using the Remington GB's last week, and it took me around 35 - 40 shots to get the barrel acclimated to this ammo. Afterwards it started shooting great! I like the CCI Standard! Here's my 100 yard score and target; (This combination of rifle/scope & Ammo, shoots as good as my Savage MKII FVT with the same setup using Eley Sport & Aguila Target). Man I'm happy with this!

100YB-TQ4

NAME: Joe Martin
CLASS: S (Tasco Target/Varmint 6-24x42 AO, Mil-Dot)
RIFLE: Marlin 80 (Sears & Roebuck 1964)
AMMO: CCI Standard (1070 fps, 40gr lrn)
Score: 246-14x



**********************************************************************

[Shot 10/10/13]

100YB-TQ4

NAME: Joe Martin
CLASS: O (Open Iron)
RIFLE: Marlin 80DL
AMMO: Blazer (1235 fps, 40gr lrn)
Score: 218-1x

Though not a great score, I enjoyed this match the most using a vintage Marlin and open iron sights.

Up dated my post above after shooting this morning. Very good shooting conditions this morning, out at the range!

 

[JoeZ]

When I shot this I thought prone meant sling only, no rest or bipod. Can one use a bipod in prone? Also, I really fell apart at the 200. Vertical spread was over 9 inches and my wind compensation was off by 2 inches or so (that's one moa). Thanks to those who do all the work for these kinds of matches!

[JoeMartin]

Hello JoeZ, and welcome to the monthly comps.

To answer your question, yes you can use a bipod. Here is the Rule, as outlined above in the Rules;

4) SUPPORT / SHOOTING AIDS - A Sling & Shooting glove may be used when shooting each match. Bipod, Backpack, Sandbag or other front support to the forestock / barrel in combination with a sling may be used. BUT no rear support, rifle fired from the shoulder. No "Lead sled" or benchrest type rests allowed.
