Sniper-Blend Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 This is not happening 500 yards with a 22rim, your dreaming mate. When i was in the army and did a bit of sniper traing the reccommended range for that is at 600metres and that is with a 7.62 round wich is a hell of a lot more powerful compared to a rimmy, so carry on dreaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy dog Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) Well i'v been out with chewy/jack a few times with his .22 rimy and he's a pretty good shot when out on the lamp. I'v seen him shoot bunnies at 120 yards but on nights that the weather is reasonable and the wind is right. But i really dont think that a rimy as got the guts in its cartridge for a clean kill at 500 yards. A .243 centre fire would have a job killing a rabbit or fox at that range. And i think, if you are shooting at live targets with a .22 rimy at that range your a little irrasponsable to say the least. I say take a 0 off and you pretty much got the range.

al4x Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Whats funny is the amount of drop there would be, if it was zero at 100 yards at 300 yards you would be talking @106" drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 With a 7.62 round zeroed at 100yds to hit the bull at 1200yds you need to aim 37feet above the bull but it is done every weekend by a lot of people. Even at this distance you still hear the sonic crack as the bullet goes over your head when you are butt marking :*) So aiming 106" over is not impossible so in theory it is possible, but paper punching is one thing a clean kill is another.

mel b3 Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 i did quite recently read on another forum (might be rimfire central) that a guy was shooting a .22 rimmie at a 2 foot steel target plate that was 600 yards away and he was hitting it consistantly , he would take the shot , put down the rifle and remove his ear defenders just in time to hear the bullet hit the target , i've no doubt that even a .22 sub would have the power to kill a fox at 500yards but being able to go out and do it under normal field conditions would certainly be a trick that i'd like to see , in good conditions i can use my rimmie past 100yards but it's not something i'd do unless conditions were perfect.

mel b3 Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 like i said , please try to understand it , i didn't say that foxes should be shot at 500yards , my post was supposed to come across as a (DON'T DO IT ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 i'll clarify my position on the fox versus .22 subs issue . IF YOU TRY TO SHOOT A FOX AT 500 YARDS WITH A .22 SUBSONIC ROUND YOU ARE A FOOL . i hope this clarifies my position on this issue , this was the message i was trying to put across in my first post but i was trying to be a little more diplomatic mods , if you feel that my original post will cause offence or is in anyway encouraging shooters to try the above please feel free to delete it.
