My 22 shoots 1/2" groups at 50 yards/meters all day! Really? Prove it!

[Rudiger]

Hey,

Finally a reasonably nice day (little wind anyway) so I ended up doing some ammo testing with my wife's Tikka. Someone was complaining upthread about the lack of Tikkas, so here is one.

Rifle: Tikka T1X MTR in a Cadex Strike Nuke EVO
Scope: Athlon Midas Tac HD 5-25×56
Rest: MDT GRND-Pod, Flatline Ops Body Bag
Ammo: RWS Special Match

Distance: 50 Meters

Group 1: 0.707-0.22= 0.487"
Group 2: 0.471-0.22= 0.251"
Group 3: 0.619-0.22= 0.399"
Group 4: 0.597-0.22= 0.377"
Group 5: 0.641-0.22= 0.421"

Average: 0.387"

I had 2 other passing targets as well, one with Eley Semi-Auto Precision Bench Rest and one with Lapua Biathlon Xtreme. Attached at the end. I just picked the best of the 3 and the Eley barely passed anyway.

Nice shooting Rudiger. It’s nice to see another Tikka make it. I added you to the successful list.

I tried to shoot the Annie 1813 Super Match. Shot 3 groups and ran out of ammo. 1/4" looks possible.

I sure hope you have or can find more of that ammo in the same lot number! Nice shooting Tony

sorry missed the part where you want to see the rest used. next time i go i’ll take a pick. fwiw it was a hard bottom protektor rear bag and bipod

 

[grauhanen]

Nice results, nelsonm64. With a different target you will qualify.

oh i see now, no other groups on official target..

 

[tonyzhang]

Grab your knife, slice the target in a few strips, and you have a qualified group! Kidding aside, very nice shooting nelsonm64! You surely can easily shoot another qualified target.

I hang many strips of targets, so I can shoot the next one if a bad group happens..... LOL like this.

 

[nelsonm64]

thx guys. i might go today and try to make a new one. cheers

 

[horseman2]

This is a handy one that can be used at 50 yards/metres or 100 yards for testing. it will print in landscape which gives a little more scope.

 

[nelsonm64]

Ok let's try this again... not my best shooting but, it should qualify.

Average 5 shot group size .406

you probably saw the targets i posted above... they are a tad better had an off day today lol. thanks

I got a 54.30 during the Victoria Day sale at Nordic. I haven't shot it much yet but it seems to be getting better results each time out. After today, I will be using it at 100 yards.

The following results from today were shot at 57 yards.

The target with the best average had groups of .237", .327", .338", .241", and .341". Average group = .297".
The other targets shown averaged .303", .319", and .336".














The rifle has a Sightron SIII 45X scope.

That is nice shooting, and a great looking set up.

Would you review that scope for the rest of us?

Thanks. The scope is very good. I first got one last year. I now have four of them. They are that good for bench shooting.

My another 1/2" entry.
The difference with the previous one is that I switched back to the factory MTR barrel and put a tuner on it, and another big one is that I shot with a cheap Norma Tac-22 ammo!

Scope: Cabelas Covenant 5, 5-25x56
Rest: MDT GRND-Pod, Eugene's back rest bag
Ammo: Norma Tac22!

Distance: 50yd

Group 1:0.43-0.22=0.21"
Group 2:0.7-0.22=0.48"
Group 3:0.542-0.22=0.322"
Group 4:0.475-0.22=0.255"
