I shot my Savage @50 but it was crap. Im not sure what is going on with that rifle and till I can figure it out I'll just post my Mossy shots

[Izzy43]

I'll go ahead and take my 120 on this one. my buddy usmcchet9296 shot perfect today too. I told him first to post wins. I WIN!!!

Mossberg 44us .22lr
Fiocchi standard velocity
bag in front and back

OK, you are banned from shooting these matches. Just kidding! Great shooting. I have tried this target twice and my 60+ year old nerves just are not up to it. I admire anyone who can shoot like this with iron sights.

Thank you. Now if only I can get my Savage to put it right where I'm aiming for the 50 yard. This Mossberg is the best $195 I've ever spent.

I have a Savage MKII BTVS and the only ammo that it will shoot accurately and reliably is Wolf Match Target, even better than Wolf Match Extra. The action screws were the key to getting my to shoot properly. Took me about 6 months to figure that out. One quarter turn past "snug". With the amount of money I spent on ammo to figure this out I could have bought two more rifles.

shot at 9: am on 9/26/10 did ok not my best

[RipVanWinkle]

As usual nobody's in any danger from me! I've been itching to shoot this, but I've been hung up working on my car. First up is the Not Elite target at 50 yards, Zastava Z5, Simmons 22 mag. 3-9X x 32 mm. AO scope, Winchester 333 bulk ammo, Caldwell Rock Jr. front rest, gravel bag rear rest. I shot four of these targets with this ammo and scored 28 on all of them. I just couldn't run the target, always one flier or another. Anyway, this is representative of the rest. I think this target is more difficult than it appears because it lacks the crosshair aligning lines as found on the Elite target.



I shot the Elite target with the same Winchester 333 ammo for 34 points. That middle one in the second row was a heartbreaker.



I tried out some Aguila Hyper Velocity 30 gr. hollow points that I brought along, just to see how they would do in this situation. I only scored 23 on the Not Elite target, but I was pushing my shots because I had to leave pretty soon, and the two fliers were called fliers. Based on the sighting in that I did I think this ammo is more accurate than is reflected in this target and is worth investigating farther. They definitely go off with a whack, and at the nominal 1750 fps and 204 lb-ft muzzle energy would be a devastating small varmint round if they are accurate out to 100 yards or so.

I think I have shot at least 12 of the non-elite targets and almost every &^%$ time I get a 28. Just can't seem to clean it. Tried with my Z5 and Savage MKII with Wolf MT and just get two that won't hit the white. Target is hexed.

Hah! I was going to post the one where I shot 14 white centers and put one shot outside the black. Every time I looked at it my blood would boil. I shredded it.

October 4 Targets

Range was pretty wet today, medium drizzle but no wind. Shot 2 Non-Elite Targets and one Elite.

First non-elite target shot with Savage BTVS with Mueller APV scope and Wolf Match Target ammo, score 137.

Second non-elite target shot with Zastava Z5 with Mueller Tactical (8.8-25x44) scope and Federal Automatch ammo, score 135.

The Elite target was shot with the Z5 and Federal Automatch, same scope as before, score 66.

While the Savage outshot the Z5 I wanted to post both targets as a comparison for these two rifles. I think the Z5 may eventually outshoot the Savage.

Room for improvement on all targets.

[usmcchet9296]

Well here is my first batch
today was a great day to shoot
it was light drizzel with no wind what so ever
Ever since a got my Savage TR I have had an issue with the first cold bore shot.
It was always a flyer anywhere from an inch to 4 inches
after researching it online the most common fix is a good cleaning
apparently lead builds up at the front of the barrel and when cold the first round is affected
Now I clean my guns but not inspection clean and generally I have learned that semi-dirty 22's actually shoot better so this rifle is not me friendly
Anyway here are my shots
Elite target

[usmcchet9296]

Its looks like my not-so-elite is wrong
It should have been 5 shots
Oh well there is always next time

[Izzy43]

Shot again today, looking for that clean Non-Elite target. Didn't quite get there but improving. Shot with the Savage, APV Scope and Wolf MT. Score 144. Rifle is shooting extremely well. Shot the Zastava as well but fell a little short, score of 143 or 142. One shot hard to score. Only posting the highest score.

[usmcchet9296]

Looks good Izzy. How did that first shot flyer issue do?
