882 ss 300 yard?

[chibitodd]

I have an 882 .22 mag. how accurate are they? I got mine from a friend that did a cammo job on it. Im hitting out to 150 yards but, my buddy says he can hit a pepsi can at 300. i havnt been shooting with him. i have a hard time hitting a can at 300 with my.308 700. I think he was locked on a bench. I shoot seated or prone with out bags. is it posible to hit a can that far with .22 mag? ohh its the rifle from my avitar picture. Im sure some one will ask and yes my girl really loves me

Anything is possible if you paint something camo.

if you aim like 15 feet above target and get extremely lucky, even more lucky than to have your naked girl take pictures with your guns, than sure.. rimfire requires alot of skill (luck) past the 150yd mark..

With or without wind? Have your buddy show you how he does it with three rounds. Tell him that if he fails to hit the pepsi can with any of the three rounds he gets the hundred dollar bill in your hand. If he fails, well he gives you the money back that you paid for the rifle, you keep the rifle, and you get to take his girlfriend away for the weekend.

thanks for the info. called him out and he is ready to show me. ill keep this updated. manteca is only 100 yard so it looks like east stockton. in the feilds will be very windy. Good for me.

Make sure he picks up your range fee and ammo cost for wasting your time and .22 mag. ammo!

The standard 40 grain load at 1875 fps sighted in at 50 yards will drop another 72 inches at 300 yards.

I was using my target 10/22 with harris bipod in 22lr hitting a 1ftx1ft pice of wood consistantly at 305yrds i had a good scope and that was maxed in elevation and still had to aim few ft above it is possible. Just takes alot of effort. I had a post cpl yrs ago with full evidence.

I wouldn't say it's out of the question, but it will require better conditions than we average here in southern CA and I'd like to hear where he's holding. And like it was said about, anybody can get lucky once in a while.

I can do it. I just run up 200 yards closer then fire. It's easy. But getting back to reality, it would be a little easier with a .22 mag or .17 HMR and no wind.

[chibitodd]

yeah its a .22 mag. done in modesto. I havent seen it. thats why I asked.
