My 22 shoots 1/2" groups at 50 yards/meters all day! Really? Prove it!
- Thread starter Underthegun
- Start date
Here's a few targets shot lately by Mrs. Allan Harris with her Bergara & "MY" new Vudoo
Bergara group sizes 373, 335, 365, 342, 326, 248, 488, 355 - Average 8X5 = 354
Vudoo group sizes 380, 324, 186, 246, 289, 227, 221, 375, 304, 301, 179, 209, 316 - Average 13X5 = 274. These groups were shot yesterday starting with a cold, clean bore & two lot numbers of SK Long Range
The Vudoo has only a handful of rounds through it but has run perfectly "out of the carton" and the 22" Bartlein will be a good shooter.
Great shooting Mrs Allan Harris. I added you to the successful list.
It's a traditional 1 in 16.
Hi CGN friends.
I took the challenge at my local 50m range. It was a somewhat windy evening. Had to use the wind flags and wait for the lulls. Took a while, but I think I got it done.
Target shot on July 16, 2021.
Ammo: SK Biathlon Sport.
Those reference circles around the aiming dots are ½ inch diameter.
Five 5-shot group sizes:
0.329
0.420
0.279
0.302
0.347
Average group size = 0.335"
Largest group measure:
Rifle and gear: Anschutz 1907. Sightron 45x45. Mystic Precision MPOD. Caldwell rear bag. Caldwell bag for elbow rest.
Great challenge, really enjoyed it!

Quick question. Are you measuring a single hole first to figure out how much to subtract off the overall group size? For example i measured a single 8 shot group from the weekend at .380 then measured a single shot hole at .1980. So the type of paper seems to make a different size hole.
Ps i know 8 shot group is weird but it was the leftover in a box after shooting my last score target at a match.

Well, the last row with Center-X was much better until one single round on the last target made it fail. But rules are the rules. Still, My Bergara B14R made it with SK STD+ at 50m yesterday July 20th first row on the picture.
5 shot groups with Avg = 0.412
.410
.345
.352
.474
.478
Largest Group :
B14R / KRG Bravo topped with Bushnell Elite Tactical ERS 6-24x50 G2 and MPOD.

That’s a great shooting Savage. I added you to the successful list.
Made the challenge today with my Tuff22.
I tested a couple torque settings with the action screw and the rear *anchor*.
I fired only around 500 rounds since new and the breakin period is just finished.
I did printed some pretty tight groups on other targets, better than my successful attempt but failed the challenge on those targets.
Rifle : TUFF22 with KIDD barrel and trigger ( gotta love this 2 stage trigger )
Ammo : Lapua Center-X
Mystic precision bipod and Protektor rear bag.
Scope : SWFA 20X
Best group : .282
Average : .387
Groups size : .460, .410, .282, .450, .334

This. SK RM is the bottom level of consistency that I find to attempt this. Higher cost ammo takes out some of the high and low hits that wreck a tight group. I’ve spent a lot of time and $$ in my life trying to make a silk purse out of sow’s ear.
Thanks !
Like I said, I’m sure it can achieve better results.
I will try heavier torque settings and we’ll see if the groups tighten.
