.22 LR 100 Yard Squirrel Sniper Challenge

[quickbiscuit]

I found this on Rimfire Central several weeks ago, and it has been driving me nuts.  I thought I would post here to see if I could get some other people interested.  Misery loves company, right?

Rules:

• .22 LR only
• 100 yards
• Must get 8 out of 10 straight shots in the bullseye (no sighters once you start)
• Breaking the outer black ring is in
• Must use official target linked below
• No fluorescent stickers to enhance the bullseye
• Bench rest ok - anything but a vise

Click here to download target.

Print as actual size.  The bullseye should print just under 1 5/8".

My best is 7/10 so far.  I have done that over and over, so I'm about to lose it since I can't get that 8th round in there.  But I've really been having fun with it.  Ammo inconsistency and wind has been killing me.  

When you complete the challenge post a pic of your target along with details on your rifle, scope, and ammo used.

If several people get interested in this I may offer up some sort of prize or drawing like they did over at RFC.

Good luck!

Does the link not work for you?

[Randall53]

It wouldn't a few minutes ago. It does now though and I was able to download it. Thank you. I guess I'll be breaking out the ol' CZ 452 and see what I can do.....

This will be a good excuse to get my Ruger American Rimfire sighted in.....    that'll be a tiny circle at 100 yards

Link asks for my child's google account password?

Is there another way to go about it?

You're gonna make me scope my old model 39A Marlin.

Wouldn't a 22 WMR be close enough?

[peejman]

Yep, asks for google password. 

Is it split for irons and optics?

[quickbiscuit]

Ok, I have uploaded the PDF to the original post as an attachment.  Hopefully that clears up any issue.  I was using Google Drive to host at first.

It's looking like a LOT of rain for the next 8 or 10 days. What is the time frame to participate?

No time limit!  I just posted it up for fun right now.

I wasted some more ammo on it today.  I'm taking a break until I get my hands on some better stuff.  Mini-mags aren't getting it done.

My CZ seems to really like the CCI standard velocity. 40gr. @ 1070 FPS. That is at 50 yards though. I'm going to try to get out a couple of times this week in between showers maybe and see how it does at 100 yds.

I think standard velocity is the way to go.  It should be more consistent since it doesn't come back through the sound barrier.  Wish I had some CCI SV to try.  I'm ready to move on with my life!  Haha!

I got the same one. Guess I could go the C&K route (Circle with Krylon).

LOL! Perhaps he could mail a hard copy to those computer illiterate among us, like me.

I think I am the one who is computer illiterate!  Haha!  The attachment issue must be a problem with the TGO site.  I put another link below the rules from a file hosting site, but I'm not sure if that's working either.  This challenge has beaten the life out of me, so it's only right that I would have trouble linking the target!

If anyone has a foolproof way of hosting a PDF I will email you a copy and then put a good link in the original post.

[gunwhatgun]

I am still getting this messege

 

Sorry, there is a problem

Thank you, OS!  I updated the link in the original post as well.

[MrBrian]

The sad part is that I only have a 60 yard range behind my house.... so I'll have to wait until I go to the actual shooting range for this one
