Some people have expressed some interest in an accuracy challenge similar to the ones in the precision rifle forum. Is there any interest? Also what should the requirements be? I was sort of thinking .5" at 50 yards/meters. But my concern is the wide array of rimfires. I would like to keep it to just one challenge. I don't want to start breaking it down in to categories like semi, bolt, heavy barrel, target, etc. so what are your thoughts for this challenge.

.5 moa at 50 sounds like a good benchmark 5 5 shot groups with pictures on the same peice of paper no other groups picture of setup and range aswell as smallest group

Ill have to give this a shot.
With all the controversy the past while it will be exciting to see them come out of the woodwork
This will be great. Can't wait to see all those 10/22's and Savages that reportedly shoot bug holes with bulk ammo!
I think that to claim you have a halfway accurate rimfire it must shoot sub .5" at 50. So lets start there?

.17's should be shot at 100. I think 1 moa would be pretty easy to accomplish, so maybe .75"?
I shoot a lot of rimfire, and would love to put my 40X or my SUHL 150 on the bags for such a challenge.
Last 4 groups from the 40X at 50M averaged .123" [5 shot groups]
I think a lot of the "internet groups" will fail to appear here, lol.

.5 moa is only about ¼" at 50M.
I would suggest that such small 5-shot groups will eliminate most rimfire shooters immediately.
I think it might surprise one to see how few actually shoot ½" [not ½ moa] at 50M.
My personal experience with ordinary 22 rimfires and run-of-the-mill ammo tells me
that there are far more "talkers" than there are "shooters" on the internet.

Hey Eagleye, that's only four groups
I know, I know
The target was shot last year, before any challenges were issued.
Do you suppose it would have been hard to punch a 5th group with this combo?? lol.
I shot a IR 50/50 match at our local club here last fall with that 40X, and broke the club's standing record.
It's definitely a shooter, and if anything, the Suhl 150 is a wee bit better.

50 meter Challenge Guidelines; .22 LR only... 5 shot groups (not 3 EE)... 1/2" @ 50 meters (showing calipers in picture)... two groups on ONE page.
My semi's and bolts will all be in there... with run-of-the-mill SV's... this I know because I have calipered hundreds of groups... sub MOA is my minimum expectation, or "down-the-road" they go...
