Nice one dude. Do you get enough feedback from the plate at the shooting position without the corrugated iron behind to confirm a hit, say at 250m? Also what ammo were you using?
Love your style of shooting, no dicking around.
Now I need a dial up scope for my 22
There isn't a lot of impact signature when you get out farther. Stay tuned for Part Two... (Wherein I actually pay some small amount of attention to my shooting)
Using CCI subsonic.
I sort of have my Marlin XT set up for this, I just need to find some ammo that has consistent speed. All the run of the mill shit won't group worth a damn at 100m, so I would say it is next to useless beyond say 150m. I might buy some Lapua to try but it starts to erode the idea of a .22 trainer when you are paying the same price as .223 ammo...
It is awesome fun regardless, even if you are just trying to hit steel plates out far with terrible "value pack" type ammo.
If the weather god smiles on me I'll give it a jam on Friday. I have a steel rod with 3", 6" and 10" round 16mm Bis for a know your limits type setup. Should work mint for a 22lr at range.
Be careful, 16mm bis is a bit light for the 22lr at those ranges.Quote:

the czs group around moa pretty consistently with the minimag and at $60 a brick pretty cheap.
good fun i reckon!
It's sweet and all but that's a lot of money to spend on a 22 that groups average.
Kiwi shooters using a JW15 shorty, EM332 or Marlin 60 will outshoot it for a fraction of the price.
I've shot summer rabbits over 160m with my JW15 and subs. Cost me $200 and a $150 scope with mildots & ballistic app on my android phone. Compare that to a heap of money spent on a 10/22 upgrade and a nice expensive leupold.
-The barrel was like 300 bucks, who gives a shit?
-I did it because I already had a 10/22.
-I'm not recommending that anyone buy a 10/22
-Academic better accuracy isn't the only thing to consider in a gun if it produces functional accuracy
-It shoots a lot better than shown in the video if I shoot well. Which I wasn't. If I was real concerned about how well my gun shoots I wouldn't have posted a video with real bad groups but hey that's real life, sometimes you have a shit day
-No need for excuses
Yup, this.Quote:

Thanks for the vid Gimp, if there was ever a square bunny out there you'll get em hands down !
Good to see the basic drop chart ( I'm working on one for myself for the HMR )
And very nice to see you have the KISS factor going .
After Gimps motivational video, my Marlin cycling properly and the weather gods smiling, I thought I had better get out and have a jam.
Unfortunately however I have to be patient and wait for my dial scope to arrive. As such I was forced to use the mighty Nikko Sterling mountmaster with its huge 4x magnification.
Target sizes are 3, 6 and 10 inches, with holdover point on the scope at this range (145m, max I could get with stock locations) being the top point of where the crosshair gets bigger.
As you can see 3 inch target is pretty hard to see, but consistently hits.

Great fun being able to get away 3 shots before the first one hits.
How many wires on the fence did you hit?
Haha none this time thank god. Actually had some sleep before going out shooting this time. Learnt my lesson not to go out straight form nightshift last time.Quote:

Who would you recommend for gunsmithing a 10/22. Mine is standard and I would like to improve its accuracy? I'm based in South Auckland.
Youtube, buy the parts and install yourself. 10/22 aren't the best base to start from though.Quote:

Have to say it was the better fun than any of the other rigs and never got warm:)
Hey Savage1, is that because the 10/22 is a semi or you just don't like them? I do a lot of night shooting and I am looking for more accuracy so I have been thinking about getting a CZ bolt action as I would like to be very accurate out to 100yds on subsonic (CCI's).
I don't "not like" the Ruger, I've owned a couple, but they need a lot of money spent on them to get them up to the accuracy standard of say a standard Marlin 795 or bolt, Brno, Savage or JW15. You don't need a bolt for 100m accuracy, practice to get the range right and drop set is essential.Quote:

I took Savage1's great advice and installed a Volquartsen Custom trigger kit in my Ruger and Youtube has a couple of very good instructional videos so the upgrade was rather easy. I took my son out this afternoon and gave the 10/22 for a spin and the photo below is the result. Needless to say - it's worth the $100 cost. 1 of the rounds looks like a bit of a flyer - hmmm. My 14 year old out shot me for the first time - 2 X hmmm ... I'm getting old.

Where do you start to describe the 10/22. Std it's a plinker. The whole mechanism is held into the stock with one screw in the receiver and then they put a barrel band on the basic models which can cause undue pressure. Luckily the 22 round isn't heavy recoiling. The action, more specifically the trigger group is a special arrangement that needs to be kept clean and dry. Unfortunately 22 ammo is not clean - mix in lead residue, wax and burnt powder and you have a combination of things to gunk it up. Oh, but then the trigger group is not easily removed to clean. The std arrangement is to push out 2 pins in either the newer polymer body or the old aluminium. After a while the pins are so loose you need to put a dob of nail varnish on them because the holes have opened out a couple of microns. Then there is the bolt assembly. It's got an ejector and an extractor. Both need to be kept clean to ensure you don't get stovepipes. The extractor especially. Then there is the bolt face where the good old lead/powder/wax build up causes seating issues. And the barrel face, which is 9/10 times never a good fit to the std bolt, and also gets build up of aforementioned goop. So in the end you have a fun rifle that needs plenty of cleaning and isn't easy to take apartQuote:

On the plus side Good 10-shot mag that's flush fitting and if you get one that shoots well, stick with it. It just needs TLC.
I had one for 1yr. I shot probably 500rds a month on a couple of farms in North Canty over the winter of which I probably needed to shoot 1/3 that. But instead of taking my time and making the shot count, it was more fun to keep pulling the trigger and hitting rabbits on the run. I moved back to a bolt JW15 and reduced grouping to touching shots under an inch at 50m. Very little ammo wasted now. Easy to clean, reliable and solid.
I've been doing a little more of this. Looking at replacing the 10/22 action to get better accuracy...

Surprising you had trouble with your magnetospeed. Mine works fine with subsonic 22LR.
Nice Gimp - thanks!
Your videos are so damn watchable - compete lack of bullshit and non relevant material and really well edited / shot :cool:
Is that the rimfire hunter stock? I've got one ordered and just wondering if it was a good decision. Any feedback?Quote:

If his shooting was anything to go by, I have to believe him.
He said they did an experiment with a batch of ammo thru a norinco. Shot around an 1.5" at 25m normally. Same batch of ammo resized, had it shooting little bug holes.

Yep, resizing 22LR ammunition. Can be particularly useful in rifles with looser chambers. My understanding is it doesn't do much for a quality target rifle...

Batching by rim thickness can be beneficial as well.
Very interesting, I didn't know you could do such thingsQuote:
