It's under 0.5" center to center I guess I should have said. One 5 shot group is way easier than 5-5 shot groups

This is a thread for 22 rifles only. Air rifles can post somewhere else.
That was my thought since I'm not sure sure that's doable to be honest
IIRC, the air rifle that have tried BR50 was a dismal failure.
Agree with the moderator . . . find your own site!
Internet accuracy is perpetrated by delusional shooters.
Nothing less than max and if your pocket book can afford it, order a scope with more magnification than you have.

So I picked up a 16" t1x yesterday. It was a bit of an impulse buy although I had been somewhat searching for a decent bolt action 22. I wanted something to train my 9yo on other than one of my semi's to get him used to a hunting rifle. I put a 3200 5-15×40 scope on it that I had laying around to try it out. Shot a few rounds last night to check for function. This morning I wrung it out a bit better and put about 300 rounds of various ammo I have laying around. All bulk ammo with the best being cci mini mag and winchester dynapoint gt which is my go to works well in everything round. It shot all rounds quite nicely with the largest groups being around 1.25" (stingers). Seems to like mini mags but I'm going to try to find some sk and lapua center x to try out. I didn't make the challenge but I feel like I will with some decent ammo and on a day that's not so windy. It was blowing up to 10mph when I tried it out this am. Distance was 50m laying prone with a bipod and rear bag.

Well that was close. Picked up some lapua center x and thought I would give the challenge another go. These were the first 25 shots of the lapua. I also bought some sk standard but will wait for another day to try it. I feel like I would have done this challenge off of a bench but just couldn't do it lying on the shop floor. I know it will do it but I'm going to wait for a bit better weather and when I can get to my bench.

Or If you are posting a failed attempt still enter all the required info as needed for a successful post.
If it wasn’t kept as clean as it has been, it would be a 6,000 post thread.
Like I said earlier, if you post an unsuccessful attempt you must still enter all the required info you would post for a successful attempt.
I agree completely. Certain people have posted hundreds of times on the importance of ammo lot numbers and accuracy, theyre correct. Yet they still post it. Im guilty of being a major A HOLE at times on this forum. We are all shooters and with the current hate on for guns and anyone who owns them, Im starting to think a bit differently. Take a deep breath and realize everyone has an opinion! Even if its not the same as yours or seems stupid, we are all lovers of guns,shooting,hunting,reloading,trading,selling,modifying and all the other cool s..t we enjoy. Band together and stand as one or GUNNUTZ will be a memory as well as owning firearms. I appologize to anyone Ive been a DICKHEAD too. Theres a bunch of you and Im offering an appology. Wether you accept or not is up to you but I mean IT. Its time to band together or be prepared to, not own a firearm. IT IS COMING
