Good Grouping for a Newbie

[asphalt599]

I am fairly new to shooting and was at the range today shooting my TC Silver Lynx .22 at 50 yards. I am thrilled that I shot such a good group and thought I would share with everyone. Check out the pic of my last group of 5 shots.
There is a dime in the pic for size reference.

The Scope is a Tasco World Class 3-9x40. Its like a $100 scope...nothing special but great for a .22. Even came with a free shooting bag

Not bad shooting! I always love it when the holes touch. Nice rifle too!

 

[gregisthegreatest]

Very nice. Great shooting.

What flavour of ammo did you feed it?

Excellent group.

What flavour of ammo did you feed it?

Excellent group.

Federal champion High Velocity 40 grain solids. About $18.xx from Canadian Tire. Doesn't seem to like the cheeper stuff as much....unfortunately.

Nice group!

Asphalt599 - How are you enjoying the TC Silver Lynx? Is it holding up well? Are the clips readily available and reasonably priced? I am looking at one...

Well, I haven't had it out much lately. No time do get to the range much. I did a fair bit of shooting with it last year and it was great. Shoots awsome. Seems to be very well made. I would definately recomend it to anyone. The mags are available through SIR. I think they are about $25. I haven't really checked anywhere else for the mags. If you have the chance to pick one up.....DO IT! You wont regret it.

that's very nice ashphalt599! I was actually going to ask on here what the thoughts of the T/C R-55 Target vs. one of the CZ 452/453 model's. I know how well regarded the CZ's are, but I don't know anything about the T/C and they all fit into about the same price range.

Great groups.

FAB groups. Especially with the budget glass.

Did you do anything to the trigger? My R-55 Benchmark
has a very heavy trigger.

 

[CanFire]

If you were a newfie then we'd all expect that group to be even tighter!

Nice shooting! Keep that up and you'll have to move onto the 100 yard target stand and embarass the centerfire guys.

I'd love to hear about the performance of the R-55's in .17HM2. It would
give 100 yard CF guys something to talk about for sure.

Okay, let's take a look:

Seems like the shooter's got a knack for it, I'd say - a good rifle, and a darn fine rifleman...

Thanks for the info Asphalt599... I have a show to go to, and want to check out what everyone has, and then I will make my decision.

We do 90% of our shooting in 70kph winds and when we do get those 2 calm days per year, the bullets have to cut a path through clouds of black flies and mosquitoes.

I'll have to try those federal champions in my tc classic. I haven't tried them yet. Of the stuff that I have tried Win dynapoints shoot right up there with any of it. This includes some target ammos such as Laupa Master M and Club.

Very nice shooting.
