The Precision rimfire thread

[Tentman]

Hey - fantastic thread idea. I've been trying for years to complete the Canadian Gun Nutz challege which is 5 groups of 5 shots at 50 (yards or meters) - all groups on the same page, all under 0.5". Its a bloody sight harder than it sounds. I got pretty close with a Annie 1416, but there was always "one group" that spoiled things. The Annie would produce groups in the 0.2" and 0.3's pretty regularly, but at the end of the day I think technique with such a light rifle was the main limiting factor.

The 10/22 heavy barrel (with Kidd trigger) that replaced it groups very consistently in the 0.6's and is a good deal easier to shoot well.

I'll dig out some target's and post pics.

I have a Lithgow LA101 coming, they have a pretty good rap for accuracy, and are a nice weight compromise between a HB and a hunting rifle, so maybe easier to shoot. Guess I'll find out.
