Earlier this week, a tropical cyclone crossed the coast just north of here with wind gusts of 130KPH – Expected to make landfall again to-morrow with winds gusting to 275KPH.
These weather conditions make for an interesting reality check if you want to see just how difficult it is to shoot a 22LR accurately – even at close range.
Below is a target shot at 50 metres outdoors (SK Pistol Match & Rifle Match) – Heavily overcast with showers and swirling wind gusts up to 30 knots. When these types of storms are in the area, it’s not uncommon to experience brief periods where the wind gusts suddenly drop to near zero – Clearly illustrated by the variation in group size.
Target shot with an un-modified Weihrauch Running Boar rifle which is one of the most consistently accurate 22’s I have owned.
Check out the top group in the second column – I have been buying/selling/building and shooting “high end” rim fires for over 50 years – That’s as close to a “one holer” as I have seen! I’ll also add that this target was shot by my wife who at 67 years old, still has the skill and physical ability to shoot like this.
I recently had another of these Weihrauch HW60 actions threaded and fitted with a 3 groove Benchmark – Really looking forward to testing that one as these actions give away nothing to the Anschutz 54.
