Well. I sure am impressed. Only mods are a bedding job. Stock everything else. Ammo was Win X22LR.

Oh, right, duh. 300 yards. Well, ok, a lased 297 if we're being honest.

Bedding is good old JB weld under the action and bottom metal with home made pillars. Optics Nikon P-Rimfire 2-7x32.

Two full turns of elevation and hold on the bottom BDC circle. Watch the cheekweld, parallax is a mofo at that range LOL.

Now, I won't pretend for a second that's repeatable performance. I was just goofing around while my other rifles cooled and I thought it'd be fun to see what would happen. But... it would hit the 8" plate consistently at that range, 8 of 10 shots. Trying again the next week in er... less favourable wind did not produce the same results LOL.

At 50 yards I use shoot n see pasters which are .63" and it'll centre punch those every time from prone if I don't blow it. Impressive rifle, by far the best .22 I've ever had. Rekindled my rimfire interest actually.
 
Glad to see the 455 lux shoots as good as the 452. Mine is all stock and when was sighting in the irons printed some amazing groups at 50 with cci mini mags and cci subsonic hp.

Are you telling me you grouped like that with a .22lr at 300 yards?

Well, once. I count it as a fluke. But going 8 or 9 out of 10 on the 8" gong at 300 is doable if the winds are favorable. With gusts, forget it. If you can't see splash and adjust off it, forget it.
 
LOL. It's a pure fluke. It's "a group" alright, but part of a ten round magazine fired at that POA. Some of the eagle eyes may have noticed the other hole at 11 o'clock, nine inches from centre. That was the next closest shot in the group. Overall it was something like 4 MOA; still surprising given the wind when it was shot.

Just so happened that 3 of the ten rounds happened to cluster like that. One of the damndest things I ever did see in all my years shooting. It's a three round group at 300 alright, if you disregard the other seven holes around it LOL.
 
best I have gotten so far is 3" groups at 100 meters from my old HB Mossberg 44 w/ remington thunderbolts and a 7x bushnell... off a bipod on a bench with zero wind. about a 15 MOA holdover from my 50 yard zero IIRC

its a re-lined barrel no less! kudos to the smith at Epps :)

Yup, that works.
I tried my 455 Lux yesterday and it shot the same group @ 300 yards. The Nikon P-Rimfire 2-7x32 is perfect for that distance. You can clearly see every single bullet hole.
I had to compensate approx. 160 feet for the strong wind because there was a tornado warning in the area but the Winchester X22 certainly did the trick.
Oh, and I glued the rifle stock to the sand bag with the remaining JB Weld. This trick makes the shots more consistent. Try it!

Pics or it didn't happen :p

In one sense the scope IS perfect for flinging rounds out to 300 yards; you can move your head ever so slightly and the crosshairs will jump by three feet, allowing you to see the splash perfectly.

I actually had more fun shooting a .22 that distance than my center fire target rifles... 200 yd shooting to follow this week if I can swing it.
