I wanna try this. I didn't know about this thread, but I was test firing my 22LR AR build yesterday. I got bored and started to shoot the corners of the grid squares.

I've forgotten the cost (thank goodness). It's not the most expensive but it still costs bucks. Amen!, on the difficulty. Even with a bipod, conditions are very important. I scrounged up a piece of string from a sand bag to as an improvised wind flag. The wind was fish-tailing from 6:00 to 3:00 and the wind speed was changing from 0 to 5 mph. |

Well I finally got around to giving this a go but had about everything against me. It was my first time out with my cz455, grabbed the glass off an ar that gave me a chin weld with about 2” over bore. I plan to get a viper pst 16x or a swfa eventually along with a timney trigger. This was measured out at 25 yards.

I am going to have my barrel threaded soon and hope to have the barreled action and stock Cerakoted at the same time. The camo job is no longer...the previous owner made poor color choices. I'm in the process of redoing it with Imperial Gray and Elemental Gray (light and dark) on the black base coat. Plus opening up the barrel channel so it free floats...little changes. I'll try it again in a week or so, once all the changes are made to see any improvements. Interestingly, I tried two suppressors on the rifle; Gemtech Outback IID and my SilCo Sparrow. The rifle shoots much tighter groups with the Gemtech. I think it's because the Sparrow won't shoulder, the threads on the barrel are too long. I'm going to try it again later with the SilCo barrel spacer to take up the gap. |

Haven't done this in a while but finally managed to get out today.
I bought this CZ 455 VPT back in October of 2012 and today was the first time that I felt like it lived up to its potential. When new it shot ok but I really hoped for better. Back in November of 2015 I had a gunsmith bed the stock, install a Rifle Basix trigger and also purchased a Lija barrel. I shot it some after that but was having some issues with the trigger and the bolt coming all the way out sometimes when I worked the bolt. Just wasn't happy with it and it just sat in the back of the safe. Finally a few months ago I talked to the folks at Rifle Basix and they said my trigger was an older version and to send it back. I did and they sent me a new one no charge. Fixed all my trigger problems and the bolt coming out issue. Also finally got the barrel threaded for my suppressor. So took it to the range today for the first time in a couple years I believe and started off with some Federal Auto Match. Seemed to be shooting ok so I decided to use it to warm up on my first "Tack Driving" sheet. Sucked so bad I almost packed up and went home. 
 Attached FileBut I broke out some Wolf Match Extra and had a go with it. Much better. Just looked at it again and that number 9 is iffy, probably call it a 19 total.  Attached FileDid another and was even better  Attached FileThen tried some SK Standard Plus and some RWS Target Rifle. Both did pretty good.  Attached File Attached FileI was really happy with how it was shooting. Just need to make the time to take it out more. |

I recently purchased a Ruger Competition 10/22 and have had it out the last couple days.
When I purchased it about a month ago it would not feed several types of ammo and I had to send it back to Ruger and I think they have all the bugs worked out. It is shooting really good, a little better than my CZ 455 VPT. The scope is a Bushnell Engage 2.5-10x44mm with parallax adjustment to 10 yards. I bought the scope used in like new condition here on the EE and it came with a Leupold cantilever base. It looks too high and I had planned on replacing it but it turns out to be the perfect height for me. Here are a few pics of the gun, some groups and a few Tack Driving targets. The last tack driving target was better but I hope to improve on it. Several of the shots were really hard to call one way or another so you might score it differently. Won't hurt my feelings if you disagree.

I’ve been shooting these targets a good bit and I think it has improved my shooting. You really have to concentrate and try to be perfect every time you pull the trigger. Going from a bolt gun to a semi auto I have had to force myself to slow down between shots. Shooting the dots has helped with that. |

Excellent shooting.
My scope won't focus at 25 yards. IIRC, it barely focused at 50 yards, too. Then, at 100 yards the wind becomes a significant factor. This shooting stuff is hard. |

EDIT-AS POINTED OUT BELOW, I GOOFED AND SHOT THE 50 YD TARGET AT 25-
Gave it a shot today. Was pretty windy, 10-15 and did a full run at 25. Did shoot 12 at 50 but ran out on the Cold range call, no pic, but 4 out 12 on the tone. I may try another type of ammo in the price range of the Wolf MT, always seem to get a wild one here and there. The one on the bottom right is close, I couldn't confirm 100% so went with a no count. Mark CZ 455 Varmint, Luepold 4-16 AR scope, need to upgrade this. Shot from the bench, 6-9 Harris and rear bag. Wolf Match Target

I was out a week or so ago trying some different types of ammo at 100 yards.
None of the ammo was doing good at all at 100. This rifle and at least a couple types of ammo are doing really good at 25 and 50 so was a bit disappointed with the results. I tried one 100 yard target and quit after about 10 rounds.
Might try some other ammo at 100 later on but with what I have now, there is no point in it. |

Might try some other ammo at 100 later on but with what I have now, there is no point in it. In this Tack Driving game, the wind variable differs from range-to-range. I suspect it is the determining factor in one's success or failure in shooting a good target relative to one's own shooting abilities. That is especially true at the long, 100 yard distance. We don't see many 100 yard targets posted, do we? Shooting 1 MOA at 100 yards is relatively easy with a centerfire. Shooting 1 MOA at 100 yards with a 22LR is another thing altogether because of the sensitivity to wind deflection. Does any of that fit with what happened? I am just recounting what I experienced last time I shot this. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Trollslayer: Was the problem just the wind? At distances as long as 100 yards and beyond, wind is a HUGE factor. My range always has strong gusty winds. The winds start at sunrise and build and become more gusty (variable) as the day goes on. Unless you are up and shooting before the sun comes up over the mountains, you are going to shoot in a fishtailing wind of a nominal 5-10 mph value with variations of at least +/- 3-5 mph.

The rifle and several types of ammo have been shooting really good at 25 and 50. Shooting off a bipod with a decent rear bag on a solid bench. None of the ammo was consistent enough the even be close on the 100 yard dot target. I haven’t shot the rifle since then. Before the next range trip I am going to check and make sure nothing has come loose. It was that bad. I would get about 3 rounds in a decent group, adjust the scope for that point of impact and the next few rounds would go somewhere else. If everything checks out I’ll go back to the 50 yard range and make sure it is still shooting good there. Maybe try some different ammo. |

First attempt was 21 after using a round as a scoring gage... 
Second attempt managed to get 24... 
I’ll try to repeat this at 25m and 50m outdoors. |

The only complaint I have ever heard about Match Extra is an occasional low round (off call vertically low). It was NOT 2 or 3 per 25 shots, more like 1 per match. I have never seen that in my shooting but I am not as good as shooter as the person who was talking to me about it. They may "see" what is hidden to me because of my larger groups. To get better ammo than SK Match/Wolf Match Extra starts costing a lot more money for minimal incremental improvements. As you get better and better, that extra cost might be worthwhile. |

Ammunition quality and characteristics are also why 17HMR and other non-22LR cartridges are specifically excluded from or categorized separately for events like these. Their ammo is so much better and their ballistics are so much better, 22LR is just not competitive with them. Note - the game's name is "22LR Tack Driving Range Game". |
