What rifle? CZ455 or Savage 17 HMR
What scope and magnification? 4-16 x 50mm ????
What ammo? whatever works
What is your bench rest set-up? front and rear bag for now
How long have you been trying the 100yd target? well most of you know I am more of a Pistol guy, I just started to shoot rifle at short range but it is time to start shooting longer range. I just don't want to give up any performance from the start.

I really meant what rifle are you shooting now? My choice of scopes for 100yds are a Vortex Viper 6.5-20X and a Weaver T-24 (24X). Easily see bullet holes at that distance. If your eyes are great you might be OK with a 16X but on the edge for 100yd target shooting. 16X is fine for hunting @100yds.

My ammo choices for .22WMR is CCI Varmint/Target, for .17HMR it is Hornady V-max 17gr in my Savage 93r17. Some of the Savage rifles do better with the Hornady 20gr ammo, once again gotta test it.

well I been doing my home work and it looks like it's going to be the
Savage 93r17 BVTSS so now all I have to do is to find one. The Savage has one of the best triggers from the factory. The scope is going to be 6-24x50 hopefully it will be the Weaver V24 $$$$$$ ouch

I just got an Email telling me my 10/22 charger trigger is going to take 2-4 weeks to get back from Brimstone Gunsmithing.

Steve...you might get to keep your pistol wins this month. If I do get it back you might be in trouble. You are probably too busy with the rifle targets care tho.

You can always borrow one of my pistols to shoot the matches, I have plenty of them.

I made it to the range yesterday and here's the result.

124 I guess the nice sunshine and no wind got in my way of a perfect score...

Attached is the Year To Date points for the Best Overall Shooter of 2013. PM if you have questions/concerns. Attachment has been updated due to omission of some data (missed a target). Sorry, too many birthdays.

Hey guys, I need your help. I need to get something for the 100 yard targets the 22lr is just not working out, it's probably me. What are the pro's and con's on the 22 WMR vs. the 17 HMR ???

I am posting this in this thread because I value a competitors opinion from people that actually shoot matches and not people that just talk about it. Thanks for your help

I would try a lot of different .22lr ammo out of your rifle, from a bench, with a front and rear sand bag, with a scope (if possible) before dishing out the cash for a new rifle...

That being said, I would also hold out on a "magnum" rimfire... for the time being. Winchester just released there magnum, the 17 WMR, with a 20gr bullet at like 3000 FPS, and a 25 gr bullet at like 2600 fps. I have no idea what the accuracy is like, but if it catches on I will have one in a savage for the 25gr pills. Good .308 trainer (to a degree)

Wow. Between how cool the 50 yard scoped target is, and the fact that I am not last on the year to date points.... I am going to try and shoot this month.

Gotta maintain my record... lol

Fingers crossed...I am taking tomorrow off and hopefully I can get some holes in paper. This month is half over and I haven't got one target posted!!

I know what you mean. I only have 1 target posted and it's looking like I'll only be abe to get out once more this month.
Have fun shootin' tomorrow!

Best so far this month.

Got to shoot mine tonight. I switched out the front sight to a post style rather than the small ring. Started with a 121 on the SK ammo, then I shot a 130 with the Wolf. Best personal score yet, I have a new picture on the phone...

[10xhobby]

WOW Nice job Tim, you didn't leave much on the table with that one. Did you like the post sight better ????

WAAAAY better. It was easier to put the post on a consistent spot below the circle target. It was weird how I could raise & lower the post and it would distort the target as it began to move over it. I would find the spot where the circle didn't distort and the post ended right below the circle every time.

I almost feel like the stock I just ordered was a waste of money, this rifle is amazing just the way it is 99% factory, all i did was add a cheek riser.

[sando]

You nailed that second target! Good work.
