100 yards for .22 "a big stretch" ?

Just for fun, some of the guys shot high power silhouette chickens at 200 m's with 22's. You have to alternate hitting them front and aft to rock them off the base.
 
100 yds is primetime!

Chasing shotguns shells around the 100m burm is a pastime of mine.

I have gotten many a gopher at that range and beyond.

Sigh.... now if only I could get me and my .22 back to gopher country...
 
This group wwas shot a few years back with one of my match rifles with a 20X Unertl.
The target is a 10m air rifle target.

Using a toz 8 with a tasco mildot scope I used to practice out to 300 yards. Used to because in a moment of weakness I sold that rifle. So 100 is not a problem. Wind and temperature have a big effect on the 22.
 
100 yards - for sure. Huntsman and I smack gophers in excess of 100 yards almost every weekend. Very seldom it is a "ONE SHOT" deal mind you...you definitely have to walk the rounds in. Although, every now and again you do score a first shot hit at some stupid distance.
 
100 yards with .22LR?

Small bore metallic cartridge competition shoots at targets to 100 meters, accurately, with the appropriate sight adjustments...I use either a Ruger 10/22T or an Anschutz 64....try using std. velocity ammo....not hi speed...
 
Its a matter of choosing right ammo. If range up to 100 meters is desirable then you need hypervelocity rounds, there are a few on a market right now, start with CCI Velocitor - really amazing round, almost target acuracy and there is like 1.5" trajectory up 100yds. Do not go for Stingers.
 
I shoot at 100-125 meters all the time. I have a Savage MK11 FV with a Busnell Legend 5-15 scope. I usually get 1-1.5 inch groups if the wind isn't up. I want to stretch it out to 150 meters but don't want to start sinking money into costly ammo as the rifle likes to eat up plain Winchester stuff.

I frequently shoot 200 yards with a .22LR, in a 200 yard fun shoot we had here a couple years ago I shot just over MOA, 2.27" for five rounds to be precise, at 200 yards with a .22LR. 100's just getting started. :)

I remember that fun match we had. Several groups were shot that were in the 2" area at 200. Biggest problem with the rimfire ammo is that less expensive ammo tends to vary the velocity considerably from shot-to-shot, causing a fair amount of vertical spread. Good quality ammo will help to lessen that phenomenon. The 22 rimfire will kill quite a way out there. I have made some of what could only be classified as "fluke" shots out past 250 that killed Starlings, gophers and ground squirrels. Regards, Eagleye.
