Monthly Rimfire Match Archive

[Izzy43]

I need a front & rear bag setup, the Caldwell cheapo sled isn't doing it for me. Its too hard to get a good position and the rifle jumps all over the place unless you are laying on it. I started using my hand as a cheek rest and pushing down on the stock to keep it in place but the sight moves up & down if the pressure isn't constant.

I'm going to need all the help I can get, it looks like this match is starting to get competitive.

This is what I use. http://www.amazon.com/Caldwell-44090...ldwell+rock+br
Elevation and windage adjustments that lock tight and the front bag has adjustments to hold the front of the stock firmly. Has worked well for me. Some folks pay upwards of $1000 or more for a front rest so this is pretty good for the $$$. Hope I'm not giving away too many secrets.

I went to "THE GUN RANGE" last night to shoot what I was hoping to be my final Rimfire Targets. I took my newly restored 1944 Mossberg S42M Military training rifle with new OM 22 rear aperture sights and a Lyman front globe. This rifle shot so well I was amazed. My 25 yard iron sight target is the first time that I have used this gun with the irons. LOVE IT, and it looks really nice. I also took another shot at Lazyme's 25 yard bench rest pistol score of a 106. The best I could squeeze out was 2 104's, he may have beat me this month, MAYBE ???

Nice Mossberg

Beautiful Mossy! And she shoots good, too. A keeper for sure.

I believe that was the one I shot a few months ago before all the mods he did. Shoots really nice. Would like to put more than 5 round thru it.

Thanks guys, it's amazing what a little sanding,staining,painting and some lacquer will do to an old gun, the stock had so much old oil and crud that I could scrape it off with a finger nail and the barrel had some rust pitting on the outside only, but the rifling was bright and shinny . The new peep sights are an awesome addition. I will use this gun for a long time. Thanks. Hey Tim, great job on the 25 yard pistol this month.

I think that Mossy is about all used up. Better send it to me for disposal. Very nice rifle and appears to be a great shooter.

Thanks Izzy. It was cool to be able to use this old gun in the match and it shot very well. I will have to test some ammo to see what it likes but I think I have a great gun to learn with.

That's good shootin with that ammo. Try some standard velocity or subsonic ammo and the score will most likely improve. Eliminates that sonic wave wobble that High Velocity ammo has when it slows down below the speed of sound at around 45 yds. My favorite .22lr ammo for 100yds is Lapua Center-X, kinda pricey but I don't shoot much of it and can be hard to find locally. I always have to order it online.

Is that the one you got for $80, or is that the Mossberg you got with the scope?
