Just got to go get a X-Bag for the bench. PR got my new Sightron 42-4x16AO here in time for the weekend, 10 different brands of ammo on hand, think the rifle is up to the task - just me as the wildcard..... ;)

I gave my 455 Lux to my Pops yesterday as I think I'm a little taken in by this new rig......

Full specs on the rifle ?

I know my rifle can as well... Its always the wildcard shooter ! I gota get out thought I was going to this weekend. Didn't make it to the range.

 
Good luck it took me about 20 targets to get it done. It's always the one or 2 flyers out of 25 shots that kills you.I did it using sk standard plus but it still has a lot of flyers. I'm hoping to do it again with my new CZ452 Varmint as I've only had it out twice and re worked the trigger today.Last time out stock trigger was too stiff at 4 lbs I have it working nice at 2.5 lbs .I too have a sightron sii big sky 6-24x42 from PH on mine.
 
Please let us know how it goes with the various types of ammo. My 10/22 seems to like Remington Target Rifle (by Eley) the best and the CZ 452V seems to like SK Rifle Match.

With my 10/22 and CZ I can often manage 2 or 3 groups out of five at 3/8" -1/2" but all 5 on one piece of paper has eluded me so far. I am still trying....
 
Its a fickle thing finding the right ammo.Not happy with any of these from this am ,can't even blame it on the wind.Time to try some different ammo
On the upside yodave spring breaks at 2.5 lbs compare to 4lbs stock,worked flawlessly today,sightron scope is a dream.

I went to the range today to try again. I had 3 different batches of SK Rifle Match ammo to try. I shot a total of 6 targets, each one had 5x 5 round groups. The best target was 4/5 at 0.5" or less, the best group was 0.33" I am getting closer to the goal of 5 groups at .5" or less, but I still have some work to do:

I nearly forgot, there were some sporadic wind gusts, infact one was strong enough to knock one of my target boards over, so that is my excuse for this week :)
I also forgot to say that all these targets were all shot with my CZ452V and Sightron 6-24x42

I know SK Rifle Match is supposed to be a step up from SK Standard +, but in most of my .22's the st+ out shoots the rm. targets r looking better. Nice calm day is going to do the trick for you.
