Hey guys... I've have a marlin bolt action .22lr, zeroed in perfectly thats been nailing any target at 125 meters. What is the farthest you guys have reached out before the .22lr loses all qualities. I'm currently using CCI Stingers which sit at 1650FPS and 32 grains. Once again whats the farthest accurate shots you guys have gotten out of a bolt action (my barrel is 22".)
 
We don't shoot super long distance, but regularly shoot skeet at 150-200 yards with our LR bolt guns as well as our semi's... last weekend the longest string without a miss was 17.
 
apparently the 40grain Velocitor(1450ish fps) out shoots the 32 grain Stinger at longer distances. The smaller Stinger looses energy whereas the larger 40 grain Velocitor keeps it.

I've seen 300 yard shots on Youtube with Velocitors.
 
Check out Snipers Hide Rimfire section on their forum.
They have a 300yd competition section, shooting at 8 & 12" steel targets.
I read somewhere that .22LR at 250yds requires the same skill as a .308 at 1000yds...a not impossible shot for a trained sniper.
 
With my Dlask DAR22 I was able to get pretty good accuracy from 200 yards off the bed of a pickup and only a bipod.
Spray paint cans usually hit on the first shot. Using federal 525 packs, 36 grain HP.
 
I've killed gophers at over 250 with dynapoints or powerpoints out of my 10/22. Longest kill on a standing gopher was just over 325 yards (lasered). Not too tough once you get the wind dialed in. Still plenty of power to kill gophers at that range.
 
I shoot out to 300 yards with my cz. 8" gong in consistent conditions. I would go further but I need to find a 20 moa rail for it.
 
There's a rimfire match put on by a gentleman on this forum in the Kitchener area (name escapes me) that runs out to 300m. I haven't gone that far, but last outing was consistently hitting my 6" steel at 200m with my Savage (next to zero wind though, makes a huge difference).

Played out to 300 yards with 40.5 moa of adjustment with a 10/22 custom. Now have a scope on one with 80moa plus of up :D That could get me out to 500yards.
 
I shoot at a 10" gong in the yard at 230 yards on nice days. Once you figure the hold over (takes about 7 or 8 shots) you can plink it consistantly. But man o man, its like a 10ft hold over an I've never seen it done with iron sights.

You need to try tho, once you hit it you will giggle like a school girl
 
I've hit a 100 yard pop up target (like you'd get at CT for $20) with my Cooey Model 60, standing, iron sights. Of course I wasn't able to repeat that performance though... :p

Once I put a scope on it I plan to do a lot of testing at 100 yards.
