Triple Crown Congrats to Todd, Larry and Mike. I got to witness the ARA State Match on Friday and it was great fun. Also congrats to Glenn Spencer on his performance with his non-spec Langley rifle. Good shooting all.

Unlimited with Air This is intriguing. I shot one of your cards with a Factory CZ at Open Grove with Joe F back in Feb during a Friday practice session. I did not actually go down range and retrieve the tgt after but scoring thru the scope it looked like about a 247. Don't recall the x count...

52c in ARA BR I understand your frustration with ARA's restrictions of the current factory class. I shot a Remington in that class last year and it was banned for 2021. This year I am shooting a CZ and it is at least as good as my old Remington. But, I still would have preferred to shoot an...

Scope for BR Please don't get too hung up on the tgt used for that example. It was not my point. My point was that for BR shooting of rimfire rifles, you do not need a variable optic. A single power scope of at least 36x or more is all you need (you can get by with less). It will be...

Airguns Do the air rifles really have the ability to compete with the unlimited rimfires at 50y? I have a nice PCP 22cal air rifle and while it is not an Annie or Walther it shoots OK at 35y but really begins to open up at 50y to the point that the groups are at least twice the size of my...

Coaches My club is talking about organizing a rimfire BR seminar this winter to aid newer shooters in honing their skills. I am relatively new to the game but benefited from our weekly fun shoots where we could talk and learn from each other. I also have had help from a few mentors who aided...

BR Scope 36x is not too much scope for 50y rimfire BR matches. I use a 36x Sightron for ARA matches on my Remington and it works great. I have friends who go much higher on magnification as high as 50x and 60x. I have a bias here. I think that as long as you can see the tgt clearly, then...

BR Optics I would like to offer a bit of a contrarian point of view. The rifle has no idea what type of sighting equipment is mounted on top of it and will shoot the same regardless. As long as your scope is clear enough and has a fine recticle and you can see to reliably, and consistently...

Rimfire Smith John Langley is another good rimfire smith. Plus he does sporter repeaters based on the CZ platform. He is in Ironton, OH. PM for ph#

Testing ammo I have been buying ammo from Clint Swiggert for several years. He is one of the best suppliers that I know. At my club, most of the top shooters are using various lots of Eley Black. They routinely test several lots before choosing the best for a particular rifle all at 50y...

Shot out?? Shot Out? Likely not, or at least, this possibility would be very low on my list of things to check. First, detail clean the bore with a rimfire solvent. Then clean it again. Next try the same ammo to look for improvements. Shoot 50 shots and track the results. If improved, you...

Rem True Art. Stunning. You really should shoot it though. A rifle that nice should not sit mute all the time. Irish

Lapua Count me in the Clint & Clemmie camp. Great people and great ammo. Eley/Lapua/SK. Irish

The rifles that George listed are all the "Cream of the Crop", I have shot or owned (still own) most of the. They are capable of killing asprin at 50yds. I currently still have a 540XR and a mod 52 that are both very good factory rifles. The Remington shoots slightly better but the difference...

sequin shooting Oy Mate, Nice video and nice shooting. How about posting pics of your camera set up? I would like to be able to do some of this also. I suspect that some of the jerky movement was when he was loading the weapon. Looks like you took out 7 completely but may have gotten...

Ammo I did test a number of other non-match grade ammo lots such as Hansen Std Vel, CCI HV HP, Federal Lightning, Russ Jr., Remington Yellow Jacket, Remington Golden Bullet, and Win T-22 Match. Of those the Federal/Hansen/CCI all shot reasonably well with the Federal being best of the bunch...

Ammo James, what part of the country are you in? My local ammo distributor comes to some of the club matches in the region and brings his trailer full of 10X, Eley Black, Lapua and sometimes SK ammo. He usually has 8-15 lots of each and will sell you one box from each lot you choose to test...
