The Precision rimfire thread

[omark]

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.

You will not regret the lithgow. Accuracy is outstanding with most standard ammo. Cci standard and sub hollow point give good results.
You may want to order the replacement trigger spring as they are a tad heavy from the factory ( you would think that for the extra $20 that they cost that they would be shipped with one)
I’ve just fitted a 5-25x50 on mine to be able to shoot it out to 2&300m
