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

I have no reason to doubt dryfire is the accomplished shooter you say he is. I said nothing to the contrary. I only said that there wasn't anything to suggest his results were hand held. If they were accomplished without a bench and bench equipment, then they would be even more noteworthy than many shooters might imagine. Such an accomplishment would be quite extraordinary for this thread. If you believe dryfire's remarkable results were handheld, please elaborate. I've made mistakes in the past and don't mind apologizing if I'm wrong because it's the appropriate and courteous thing to do.
I'm sorry you're still waiting. This is surely not the place if you feel I owe you an apology for something. If it's relevant let everyone know.
Perhaps I need a definition for "hand held".
Went back to the original #1 post and the term is not there.
This is the first time there has been a reference to "hand held"!
Completing the challenge offhand, no support would be a big deal. Off a 1 point sling, I would think would be very doable for anyone that's competed in smallbore or large bore TR (DCRA or Olymipic) competitions.
Today was a great day for shooting !
Made the challenge with the Feinwerkbau.
It was the second time I was shooting this rifle.
Haven't even tuned the action screws yet so it have great potential to not say the least.
Last week, I did some ammo testing and it likes Lapua Center-X.
The trigger is just wow, even better than my Walther...
The rifle is a ( German ) Feinwerkbau Modell 2000.
Lapua Center-X ammo.
Mystic Precision bipod and a cheap rear bag.
Bausch & Lomb 36x scope.
Groups :
1- .144″
2- .336″
3- .347″
4- .225″
5- .369″
Average : .285″
Nice shooting. I added you to the successful list in post #3
A little off track but I shot a 600 - 42X at 100 yards yesterday with my Remington 40XBR.
Remington ELEY Match off a rest and a Leupold 45 x 45 Competition scope.
It did not post right away so now is the second target

I'm getting back in to rimfire this winter. I have a couple of questions about the challenge.
1. Can you use a bipod instead of a front rest?
2. Can you shoot prone instead of off a bench? The benches suck at the 50m indoor range I'm a member of, shooting prone is much better.

Yes, and yes. Good luck.

Thanks for the prompt response! I have a couple .22lr project rifles I'd like to get into the club. One of them is a little unusual, I'll post pics in a few days after I finish ammo testing.
Cheers
Spent a nice afternoon, this past Monday, with my single-shot Izhmash CM-2 at the Kamloops 50m range. I’ve been trying to figure out what ammo it likes for some time. This target was shot with Eley Club. Not exactly Earth-shaking, but very consistent
Rifle (all original):
· CM-2 action with unknown rounds through it
· Carbon wrapped barrel 27.8” long
· Single stage trigger set to 7.5 oz pull
· Original bedded factory stock (someone before me carved out the check-piece, probably for use with aperture sights)
Other equiment:
· Mystic Precision bipod
· 8-32*56 Sightron III scope
· Protektor rear bag
Range: Kamloops KTSA – 50m
