Rimfire Madness: The Infection Begins

[doddg]

Huge fan of .22 rimfire. Short, Long all fun, cheap and easy to shoot lots of rounds!
What isn't there to love!??!?!

Totally agree!
And, it is amazing how the guys here know how to make a good .22LR into a magnificient one!
I started out buying $200ish .22LRs for plinking around and have one now with over $1200 in it and another with nearly $700 in it.
Be careful reading these this thread!

I looked it up and the distances went up to 400 yards?

Looking at an A-17 Savage, I love the .17hmr round.

Looking at an A-17 Savage, I love the .17hmr round.

I was pleasantly surprised after buying mine. I bought mine on a whim. I didn't see what the 17hmr would be good for but I found out different. One of these days I'm going to pick up a 17 mach and give it a try.

Most Appleseed are 25 yards with scaled down targets simulating 100, 200, 300 & 400 yards. That's the 4 different sizes you are seeing on his target.

As far as I know, Appleseed is only doing events way up North and occasionally down in Evansville.

Reveres Riders covers most of the state. We offer more than just basic rifle too.

Not sure about the 17 mach. I do know the hmr is a angry little round.

hadnt got a chance to post this up.
replaced the Mossberg 715T i'd been using for steel challenge 3 weeks ago with a new SW M&P 15-22 .
magpul stock, forend, grip folding Mbus irons. added my truglo dot and this morning screwed on a tacsol xring comp.

doesn't NEED a comp, but this thing is so quiet shooting federal auto match ive "lost a few good runs due to shot timers not picking it up..

Picked up this Marlin XT-22 a few weeks ago used. Came with the bipod and a cheap 4×32 scope. Replaced the scope with a cheap 3-9×40 Simmons Protarget ($38) and i had a set of cheap 30mm rings laying around. Dialed the scope in today at 30 yards, max i had indoors. Didnt have a big variety of ammo with me but im pleasantly surprised for having less than $150 in the rifle with the new scope
Center target is sk plus ammo and the top 3 targets was just cheap Federal 36gr hvhp.

Love it: great shooting from my viewpoint!
All on $150: now that's bragging rights!
I can't do any better with my Ruger 10/22 with a Nikon scope ($370 in everything, with new rail, and I think I bought new rings for it also?) at only 1/2 that distance (50' at one of my indoor ranges).

 

[d.kaufman]

Thanks guys! I ran a couple other brands of ammo too. Obviously it really liked the sk but it did real well with Blazer too. Actually better with cheap blazer than Federal gold metal match and Eley target.
Cant wait to put it against my custom 10/22 at 50 and 100 yards. Hopefully do that this Friday. Taking a Vacation day so probably head to Winamac and compare head to head

Got the scope mounted today on the Henry. Looking forward to trying it out this weekend. I think it looks as nice as a "modern" scope can look on it.

That Blazer amazes me with its accuracy. For an average of 5 5 shot groups in my T1x it does .45" at 50 yards. Very consistent group size, too. For cheap plinking grade ammo it shoots way better than it should.
