CMP Rimfire Sporter match (bring your kids!)

<< < (4/4)

Dan W:
How many feet was that?

bkoenig:
5 shots at 25 yards.  That was the best group of the day, measured about .215" center to center.  Most of them were more like .25".

In reality, that is way overkill for this match.  A stock 10/22 is more than accurate enough to clean the target and take first place.  I just like a heavy barrel for shooting offhand since it's a lot steadier.  The shooter is definitely the limiting factor here.

bkoenig:
Ok, good news everyone.  I am apparently really bad at reading comprehension, because Jesse pointed out to me that the rapid fire stages in this match are two SEPARATE strings of 5 shots each.  I had read it as 10 rounds in 25 or 30 seconds, with a mag change.  That's doable if you have a detachable mag, but it would make the tube fed guns virtually useless.  The way it actually works is you shoot a string of 5 rounds with 25 seconds for autoloaders and 30 for everyone else.  Then, you have a 1 minute prep period to reload, and then you shoot a second 5 round string.  That's more than enough time to load a tube magazine.

So, if you have a Marlin 60 or Remington 572 bring it out.  You just might school us 10/22 guys.

NE Bull:
Sweet, Marlin 60s for Everyone! I've got one for me, one for the daughter, and one for the son. :P
