ASSRA scores offhand to leaded edges but bench matches are scored center of bullet hole!!!!

  If you will look at the following web site pages for the Pine Ridge Rifle Club you'll see a few 250's and sub 25 ring scores and groups for the .22 under match conditions. Nothing real regular but the club members who specialize in .22 are the ones who'll do it.

PETE

As has been mentioned on this forum before; the former Buddy Streat who shot at the Columbia Schuetzenverin was capable of shooting a 250 @ 200 yds with a RF. He did it often. I was privileged to watch him do it twice in one day and back it up with a 248. It was quite gusty also. Amazing to watch, I'm sure that club misses him.

What Boats said.

Anybody can post pictures of small groups and words about how well their rifles shoot. The proof of the pudding is in the competition, where all the BS stops.

A few small groups does not make an accurate rifle. It's the AVERAGE that counts in my mind, as well as the shape and distribution of the bell curve.

Kinda reminds me of the Pedersoli Challenge, where the object is to fire four consecutive 5-shot groups of less than 1 MOA with a legal BPCRS rifle. Many, many big-mouthed BPCRS shooters ranted about how 1 MOA was mere child's play and their rifles would shoot much better than that, etc etc ad infinitum ad nauseam. Many, many big brags made.

So far, in 4-5 years of trying, only two men have won the Challenge so far as I know.

I don't give a flip for big brag words or big braggers, look at the competition results and the equipment for an indication of what to expect.
What Boats said, good luck, Joe

AMEN!!!

Grandpa,
Schuetzen rimfire matches are fired at 100 yards with falling block rifles, 2 piece wood stocks, and seperate front and rear sandbag rests.

The only thing we can use that  like .22 BR shooters are the barrels and the ammo.

All the match results reading in the world isn't going to help when the Schuetzenmeister says "Commence Firing"- then it's only you,  the testing of all that $10 a box ammo and your ability to read the conditions!!!

Good shooting!
