100 Yards/Metres 22 Long Rifle Challenge

The weather forecast indicated that the calm conditions that have been around for a few days would end after today. After my last entry I didn't think I would be making another, but the improvement was sufficient to probably justify it.

The Midas + lot that I used for the target below was one that I hadn't tried at 100 with my 1973-made 1411, but since it wasn't stellar in my other rifle, I wasn't expecting particularly good performance. I was pleasantly surprised.



The groups were .557" (top) and .806" and .560" left and right respectively on the bottom.

The three ten-shot group average is .641".





The rifle is a 1973-made 1411 with an Anschutz BR 50 stock -- a 1411 BR 50. The scope is a Sightron Big Sky SIIB 36X.



As a final observation, four of the nine groups I shot today with this lot of M+ were under .600". I think it's possible that, with the right ammo, someone following this thread can shoot a target that has a sub-.6" three ten-shot group average. Unfortunately, I have very little of this lot left.
 
I have just been soooo busy that I have not had time to shoot this game and submit a few targets.

But I hope soon to have a bit of time.....maybe. [Cataract surgery scheduled for October and November]

Maybe once I can see clearly again, I will have a few groups of note. Hoping. :) Dave.
 
Mission and District Rod and Gun Club hosted the 100 Metre Rimfire Provincial Championships today.

The event is open to all so the Provincial is a bit of a misnomer. Three of our top competitors were absent due to flu like symptoms or COVID 19 Protocol.

I was particularly proud of my first place finish in the Unlimited class with a final score of 1193 - 75X.

The groups measured 1.31, 0.77, 0.82. 0.99, 0.65, 1.27, 1.44, 0.77, 1.25, 0.95, 1.57 and 0.96 for an average of 1.063.

Shooting the Remington 40XB with a Leupold 45 x 45 competition and Remington Eley Match 1062 Velocity.

The worst group at 1.57 begs the question . . . how does one shoot and "X" followed by a low 8, a low 9 and then back to the ten-ring followed by X's.
 
Decided to throw this up as a entry. I'm improving and learning. But was another windy day in the valley. I will need to get a sun shade.
