Thread: nzhs rimfire challenge

wish I could shoot some myself but I'm thinking that could be at least another week away as soon as Auckland gets to level 3 I can get to my mates farm and do some contactless shooting

This competition has come too late - only have one 22LR left these days... That's a wee Marlin 795 semiautomatic which we shot in on range week or so ago. Dialled it in to 0.8" group at 75m which is very acceptable for a little standard barrel semi.

Tent - my EM332s were precise wee shooters. Generally 0.3-0.4" at 50m with the occasional cherry picked 0.1 and 0.2s thrown in. Brilliant at 100 - with groups at 0.5, and several sets averaging well under 1". My range photos were all stored on photobucket which I can no longer access, but might have some saved targets of little $247 EM at 100 somewhere...

Looking forward to following the competition.. Good work rambo

Cool event! I'm looking forward to lockdown easing so I can get out and send an entry for my T1x. I also have a new .22 on the way that I'm very keen to start shooting with and will send an entry for - @rambo-6mmrem I did end up getting a good offer on a 10/22 with a Kidd barrel and 2 stage trigger which I accepted right before lockdown hit. Fingers crossed it won't be too much longer before I'm able to collect that.

Sounds like alot more Opportunity to get out from next week that’s if you have access to private property for shooting ranges are still shut in level 3 as far as im aware
Not for us Aucklanders though

Send me those targets
Give me something to do while im locked up

Waiting for level 2 so I can get back into the office and use the printer (for work purposes, I swear )

bump

Now that most of the Country is in level 3 and I know alot of us have access to private property for shooting
No Excuses get out there and see what these 22’s can do
Remember this is all about the average for the 5 groups…
So if you have 3 or 4 very good groups and 1 bad one it’s probably not going to kill your chances of getting on the leaderboard

Hmm may have to rebarrel the jw15

@Tentman has put in another target this time in the bolt action class

Level 2 for most of you now
Get those dusty 22’s out the back of the safe and do some shooting guys

if this wind ever stops I may just have to make some targets up and have a go....work allowing time off in daylight of course.

@Micky Duck
Yes the outer ring of the target is 1 inch however it’s not Coloured the aiming point is1/2 inch
However I have said that I will allow Colouring of the outer ring with a sharpie or whatever to make it a 1 inch aiming point for the older generation or people that have bad eyes or small scopes
The Official target is available for printing in 3 Colours
See the other thread for the links

Maybe a silly question but is black and white printing fine?
