belly47 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 thought I would have a wander with the .22lr this evening as haven't used this rifle for a few weeks. there was virtually no wind when I got there and I saw a squirrel near one of the feeders. my range finder said 104 yards. I don't usually take shots at this distance but with conditions being ideal I gave it a touch over two dots of holdover and down it went. Moving further on I laid up waiting for rabbits to venture out when the second squirrel appeared at 20 yards and I made the straight forward shot. finally a rabbit came out at 75 yards and that finished the evening off just as the heavens opened with torrential rain. my shooting vehicle (ford focus lol) just about made it back along the now flooded and slippery track. good to know that the time of spent learning my bullet drops over the years still reaps the rewards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bala Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Very doable with that very accurate rifle you have there, I have had mine many years and do get fround upon for taking shots at 100 and plus yards. Like you say if conditions are right the humble .22 will stretch its legs with a confident rifleman behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Well done belly. Plenty of energy left in the .22 at 100 yards, if you can place the shot it's no problem. Good shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
