One of the first things y'all told me was to enjoy practicing with .22s, and do I ever!...Especially the Browning BuckMaster.
How about a little .22LR range show-and-tell?
Re: Love me some .22LR
2Well, it's a rifle, not a pistol, but... Here's my bipod-mounted Winchester 52 having fun at 25 yards. No rests, just bipod-and-shoulder.
Bucolic will be along shortly to embarrass me with his laser-beams, though...
The "EY" at the bottom is for Eley Yellow box (their cheap-ish "Target" stuff)

3Or, here's the CZ 455 Varmint (similarly bipod-and-shouldered) at 25 yards. Yes, that IS 5 shots there... I love that rifle.

Re: Love me some .22LR
4Sorry... This is not as tiny as the above, but is my Beretta 87 Cheetah (not Target) at 25 yards offhand. This little guy shoots FAR better than its 4" barrel would indicate. Plus, it's cute.
I do love me some .22 as well.

Re: Love me some .22LR
5Just for clarity, none of those are really "typical" except the Winchester targets. Cherry-picked to the extreme.
I wish I could shoot like that every time...

6I blush, Sail. I do love rimfire. I wish I had some targets with my CZ 453 .17 HMR but I can’t find any in my piles. I pulled out some typical (I.e. really good) examples. All of these are rifles on bipods and a rear bag, shouldered. I don’t run the software that Sail does since I only have Apple products so they are measured with calipers.
Here’s one from my Kidd rifle “Boyd”. The holes down the center are sizers. The holes on the targets are five-round groups. This one is from 25 yards. Average Center to center diameter for the four groups of five rounds is 0.094 inches. It’s a good shooter!
Here’s one from the “Sleek Black Beauty” at 50yards. Ignore the sighters and sizers. Five round groups, average of three groups is 0.24 center to center.
And one from my Frankenruger compact from 50 yards. I never expected it to shoot like this! Average of four groups is 0.34 in.
I need to shoot some groups with my CZ 452. It may be better than any of these. Need some warm weather first!

7Thanks, Buc!! Always good to see Boyd's work and have something to aim for (so to speak)

Re: Love me some .22LR
8Thanks, Sail! Maybe we should set up a match for rimfire rifles. Something to think about.
HotheadP, please note that for my targets, I am not concerned that they are not on the target center. All of these were deliberately aimed off center. I was shooting for consistency.

VERY nice idea... Keep it to 25 yards for the winter- I can open out to 50 in the summer.

Re: Love me some .22LR
10I have to share one more from an early postal match. This one is shot from fifteen yards, seated with the Sleek Black Beauty.

Never confuse knowledge with intelligence.
Re: Love me some .22LR
13I shot one at fifty yards once. The little bugger strayed near my target and stood still long enough for me to move my POA and disrupt his structure...

15Had some 50 yard fun with my Marlin today.
Sent it to 100 for a few. It was a bit windy. Pretty happy with these shots.

16Wasn’t that postal match seated, but with a sling for support at most, no bench?Bucolic wrote:I have to share one more from an early postal match. This one is shot from fifteen yards, seated with the Sleek Black Beauty.
Re: Love me some .22LR
17These were an attempt to test different brands in my Kidd 10/22 at 50 yards. I believe the orange dots are 2” and it was with sandbags front and rear.

20Great shooting and a great rifle. Except for the barrel, it’s nearly a twin to my Sleek Black Beauty. Down to the Sig Zee rings!
Edit: Also, yours has the two-stage trigger and the cool flat trigger blade. Nice! What is the trigger pull weights?
And, yes, the fly shoot was seated, no support other than a sling. I can’t remember if I used a sling. It was at fifteen yards, I think

21Also, was the mallet for the barrel installation?

Re: Love me some .22LR
22Thanks, I was noticing how similar they were. The Zees were for another rifle originally, but I upgraded it to a more beefy setup. These were perfect for this build. I’ll probably use another set for my next build (I have a silver Kidd receiver just waiting).Bucolic wrote:Great shooting and a great rifle.

Its been a while (2014), but i believe it was set at 3+3, so 6 oz total. It’s almost light enough that if a feather brushed it the rifle would send its payload down range.Bucolic wrote:What is the trigger pull weights?
Thats what I remember. That’s some nice shooting there for off hand, even at 15 yards. I’ll have to go look at my target, but I’m pretty sure I missed some of those suckers.Bucolic wrote:And, yes, the fly shoot was seated, no support other than a sling.
Yes, that sucker didn’t want to seat!Bucolic wrote:Also, was the mallet for the barrel installation?
Re: Love me some .22LR
233 oz/3 oz is brave!! Mine is 8/8 and I only need to think about firing and it goes.
Kidd has a bunch of new fluted barrels that are tempting and would look great on your silver receiver!

Re: Love me some .22LR
24It’s all about keeping the booger hook... never mind, Just keep the finger away from the trigger until you’re ready! And don’t let anyone breath near you. So far it’s been a pleasure to shoot.
I’m thinking of getting a barrel blank for the next one and having it threaded to the receiver by Connecticut precision. Sort of the next step into insanity.
