Title: Shooting 8 inch gong, 22LR at 275 yards. (video)
Post by: Recurve-Elk on May 09, 2012, 01:40:23 PM: Hey all. A buddy and I were doing some 22LR long range shooting the other day! Sighted in at 50 yards, bumped back to 150, then to 200, then to 275 yards. Accuracy was solid until we jumped up to 275, we were starting to get a lot of drift. However, I did manage to get it sighted in.

Accuracy was 50 percent hit to 50 percent miss at 275, but it was sure fun plinking that far! Listen to the delayed ding!

Hardware is: H&R 22LR Sportster (tamer different stock), cheapo bipod, tasco 4power 22 scope.

Picture of target, cant hardly see it.
