Salop Matt Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 As above folks, Whats your best accuracy for a 5/10 shot group at 100 with a .22lr ? What ammo and rifle were you using, any grouping photos would be great. ATB Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Can't remember exactly, but around 1/2" to 3/4" probably, good enough to shoot rabbits anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 A decent 22 should go moa at 100 with the right ammo. The skill is in Reading the conditions On occasions you will get a lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 My mate does .22 Benchrest and he shoots incredibly small groups. He has a Martini International with a stonking great scope on it and I think he shoots Tenex. But reading the wind is everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Is it even possible with a .22lr to reliably and repeatedly head shoot a bunny at 100yards with correct weather (warm,dry,still summers evening) ? I never kept my .22lr very long and only shot it to 60/70 yards tops on the few occasions I did use it. ATB Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never kept my .22lr very long and only shot it to 60/70 yards tops on the few occasions I did use it. ATB Matt Yes, I believe so. Mine is zeroed at 75 with a view to shooting out to 100 when conditions are good. As long as you can judge the range and know your holdover there's no reason why not.

la bala Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Yes, I believe so. Mine is zeroed at 75 with a view to shooting out to 100 when conditions are good. As long as you can judge the range and know your holdover there's no reason why not. My thoughts too, i am happy to shoot rabbits all day at 100 yds although i do use a range finder and range card. Also the rest that fits to the Landy is a great help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Top of the ears at 100 (obviously at my zero!) and 99% it would hit them in the head, or neck if I had mis guessed the range! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 off sticks ,right conditions,100yds,with a rangefinder,know your holdover points on your scope, not be a problem really,as said wind is the factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Now the game shooting season is over i'm doing the rounds tomorrow after pests. I'll put the rimmies in the motor. There's an easterly F6 where i'm heading which won't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Can't really say, but more than adequate for head shot rabbits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgum Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Never checked out to 100yds but my 70yd zero is thumb nail most days with Eley subs without much wind. Think the most important thing to test is shot placement at 20, 40 ,50, 60 70 80 90 and 100yds, put 2 inch targets out at each of these ranges and see how you do, for the 'no so experienced' amongst us you may have a shock.

1066 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm afraid I would embarrass myself if I posted my 100 yard groups here, I just couldn't compete with these consistent sub 1 moa I often hear about. Yes, sure I get some good groups but I'm happy to admit that I seldom get two or three in a row. This is the sort of thing I'm talking about: Eley Tenex SK Standard This is not my effort - This was shot by a Swiss made Bleiker .22 benchrest rifle (£3,000?) 25x target scope, solid bench and solid rests front and rear - 100 yard tunnel range and some of the best ammunition that you can buy and a very experienced target shooter. How does that compare with a £300 rifle on a wobbly bi-pod, shooting HP ammo out in the open air?

colin lad Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Careful, Colin Lad will come along and rant at you soon! yeah that just ain't right lol we was hitting extra strong mints at 100 yards probably 8 out of 10 times and the misses where just missed colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 No, no, no... Please don't ruin this fairytale, I was just starting to enjoy it. Honestly, I do think some re-education is in order. One yard is 36"..One foot is only 12", and there are three feet in a one yard. To be fair, there are plenty on airgunbbs that make similar claims about their 22fac air rifles, deadly out to 100 yards. Whereas in reality 60 yards is what I consider a reliable maximum and even then, in any sort of stiff breeze, forget reliable and crawl closer. But then, as already established elsewhere, I'm clearly not a very good shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 No, no, no... Please don't ruin this fairytale, I was just starting to enjoy it. Same here, a couple of pages on & it would be up to the 704yd hare.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear-uk Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I once hit a barn door at 100 yds. Was aiming for the dustbin lid though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
