50M Rimfire match [IR50/50]

[Eagleye]

Took in a local rimfire match today...only a few shooters present.
Sure wish more would show up.
However, managed to eke out a win on the IR 50/50 target [245 - 5x]
Possible is 250.
Best part is I broke our club's standing record by 1 point [244]
My 40X is shooting well, indeed.
Next shoot I will bring the Suhl, lol.

That is going some Eagleye ! Could you post your target as many on here are probably not aware of how difficult that target is ?

+1 on the photo request. I had to go look it up myself, that target has an X-ring diameter of 0.0312" and a 10 ring diameter of 0.25". 245 out of a possible 250 is damn fine shooting.

I do not have the actual target in my possession, since the club kept it for now.
However, They are not an easy target to consistently "10" As mentioned, the 10 ring has a diameter of .250"

What position is that shot from? Offhand? Prone? Great shooting in any case. Sights?

IR50/50 is a benchrest class. Optics would a serious scope of some sort, I would guess 24x or more.
