Wolfdog91 6,242 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Decided yesterday that since I shoot my .22lrs out to 100-150 on steel and pests all the time might as well shoot on paper to see what a group would look like. I mean my with a bipod ,sand sock and Strelok+ I can keep on a 4" gong all day out to 150 but I've never tried it. That along with my 521-t. It has kinda a BDC deal on the peep sight and usually if I put it on 100 I'm on that gong @ 100 but have always wonder just how accurate is it. So said why not. Wish I had more CCI because I got a feeling stuff would have been better but I'll have to get more tomorrow and try again. Btw if you've never tried this I highly recommend it ! Pretty damn fun 2 Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 I had a Winchester 69a . Lovely rifle. Very very accurate. Very shallow rifling. Quote Link to post
Deker 3,450 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 We use the .22LR at 200 yards at Bisley quite often and surprisingly good results can be achieved, but forget it if it a bit gusty! 1 Quote Link to post
Meece 1,957 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 The furthest that I've shot my 22LR or on a range was 600 yards.!!! YES 600 yards. Using std target Eley match. The target bull (black) was about the size of a car tyre. The aiming point was to put the very bottom of the scope cross hairs on the top of the butts embankment. Which was possibly about 20.. 30 ft above the bull eventually I managed to hit the bull by others scoping down the range and watching the bullets kick up dust. I can't remember how far the first ones where seen. Possibly 300 yards. I just kept lifting the gun and they talked me on. When I found the mark the bullets hit the overall target but with a reasonable spread. Even so you wouldn't want to be standing in front of the target baring YOUR BUTT to the wind. Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 A bloke at Blackbrook hit a golf ball at 200 yards with a standard 12ft lbs air rifle, Twice, Quote Link to post
Meece 1,957 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Don't forget the humble 22lr has killed people at 1 mile range so it has a fair amount of energy. If my memory serves me, the max distance / angle is near 30° elevation . AND I think that a full grown African elephant has been dropped by the humble 22 LR Quote Link to post
