Brent it depends on your routine.  

With a CF at 200 I shoot, glance through the spotting scope without coming out of position, and use the information from the bullets strike to make my next shot.  I am not playing the wind hardly at all. In fact I am trying to shoot all shots in the same wind as when sighting in. The scope is confirming my strike as it relates to hold and position.  Self coaching. Routine at 100 rimfire is exactly the same.

I can see 22 holes at 200 under most conditions but have to look carefully and study the target some. Combination of my eyes and scope set up.  My offhand BiPod is none to steady and handicaps the scope.  Spotting that carefully when it's not quick and easy would throw my routine off and scores would suffer.

If I was going to shoot rimfires at 200 offhand I would sight the rifle under the most likely condition on a plain white target.  Once I had the groups centered up would fire all shots quickly while that condition existed without looking at a scope at all.

Of course you have to shoot under the rules and ASSRA orange is what could be required.  If so and again under ASSRA rules  I would also wait until I was down range to count strikes on the paper, only keeping track of shots during the string with a loading block, not observing the target.  Any total misses can be re-fired under ASSRA so a notebook down range noting targets that need additional shots is the way to go.

Telling you all this theoreticly since I don't shoot rimfire matches at 200 and am not likely to. But if I had to that's what I would do.  

Could be an interesting match and if offered locally would probably give it a try. I still don't see any good reason to shoot CF and RF in the same one however. Would be just as interesting all rimfires on the line.

Gents,

A memorable event indeed...  Maybe there is some hope after all, if one of the 'don't like Martini' crowd is actually advocating the use of same - I quote: "a Browning low wall or a Martini 12/15 and a low-midpower scope".  Hmmm - maybe my presence on this forum is paying off after all.  Either that, or Brent has just caught a virus    The Martini virus probably!
Brent, sorry to make a bit of fun out of you, just couldn't help it....  I promise, you can try and have a go at converting me to some hogleg rifles!
FWIW, the addition of either a Swiss buttplate or some lead in the stockbolt hole with make the 12/15 (or the 15, for that matter...) into a capable offhand rifle.
FWIW, at the Bisley Imperial meet, there is a 200yd offhand comp with a rimfire category - excellent for your windreading skills.

Brent,

I just might make it out there across the pond one day...  Probably to shoot some LR BPCR matches, and - who knows - maybe with PP bullets.  After all, the 1st time I used mine in competition (midrange match in Bisley), I ended 3rd... - this was after a total of about 100 rounds of PP through the barrel, hardly any load development.  There just might be something to those diapers indeed, and I might even get the hang of a rifle with a centre-hung hammer.  But those sidehammer things, no thank you...

Guys remember everyone is entitled to there opinion!
Right or wrong!   So don`t get mad a each other just because you all don`t agree with each other!
Remember that what makes the World go round!

A couple of questions:

1.  The fellow who shot those marvelous scores at 200 yds w/ 1.5' centers, did he do that w/ a scope?   

2.  One man in another thread asked about .22s and was roundly put down and I ask why?  Isn't the .22 a handicap?  All forms of shotgun shooting put a gauge or shot charge restriction above which you may not go.  However an Italian trapshooter once won a world cup in a 12 gauge event with a fine 197x200 at international trapshooting with a 20 ga. Perazzi.  So, I ask why not?  We need to preclude those who would take unfair advantage not those who seek additional handicaps.  Just a thought.

From my experince shooting at EG, there is nothing preventing you from shooting a .22RF during a CF match, you just are not eligible for awards for CF matches. Right now, there is a 200yd anysight .22 bench non-reentry match, the 100yd mini Hudson re entry match, a 50yd re-entry match and the 50yd Stitch re-entry match. So we do shoot .22LR during the CF matches. They just don't compete in the same match. All other matches are CF. But if you want to shoot a .22LR in one of the other matches, have at it. Just remember it is not a valid target to turn in for awards 

The only problem that could come up but I have never seen it happen is if we ran out of spots for the CF shooters and you were only shooting a rimfire and you had shot the 200yd match, you could be asked to give up your spot. That would only be after everyone was asked if someone was done shooting and wouldn't mind giving up their bench for someone who had not shot. If you were a new shooter, I'm sure you would never be asked to give up a bench.

Yes, Sanctioned. I guess that is different than sponsor.

The Worldcreedmoor is covered by the insurance that covers the ASSRA and any shoot the ASSRA sanctions.

I guess it saves bunch of cash not having to get a yearly policy.

Guess the only mis spoken word was sponsored and sanctioned.
And the ASSRA has done this for many years.

A formal request has been made to the proper ASSRA officals to bring up the question of .22 rimfires competing in centerfire matches. Proposal would give ASSRA local clubs the option of allowing rimfires.
Most local clubs have limited shooting dates and by allowing rimfires hopefully new shooters would be attracted.
