Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires New Day at the range challenge, if interested

I don't know if you guys are interested in shooting this one. Didn't get much participation on the St. Patrick's day challenge here. I like shooting these though. The weather is getting better too, so there's no excuse not to go to the range!!



As I'm proving with these shoots, you don't have to be shooting a $4,000.00 set up. My rifle cost me $474.00 total, after selling the factory parts off. This is the rifle I usually reach for, when the chips are down.

I'll start it off for you guys. Be sure to get out and shoot this one. One warning though, print off the new targets!!! They are bigger, like the one in this video. The first targets Eli sent me were smaller. I'm still not exactly sure about how to add up the score on this one, so I'll just let Eli handle that!!!!

Rifle specs: 1990's Ruger 10/22 with 20" stainless Kidd barrel, Volquartsen trigger parts (fine tuned to 2 1/4 pounds), Magpul X22 stock, bolt worked over and headspaced by me, glass bedded by me. The rifle shoots well, with just about any kind of ammo Scope is a Burris AR7.62 4.5-14x42 with C4 windplex reticle:

Target after trying to score it. Just sent it to Eli, so maybe he will update my score?


This may not be much of a challenge for some of you guys. Get out there and give it a try. I'll be reshooting it, after I get some ink for my printer. Then I can also print some of the new/bigger targets up.
