Hi,
I am new to this forum and have been lurking in the background trying to learn.
I bought a Remington 40XB from the CMP and outfitted it with a Weaver T-36. I have a Caldwell Rock Rest and a Caldwell Universal Deluxe Rear bag.
I have also, just for kicks, just converted a 10/22 to a "Bull" Barrel, bedded, upgraded the trigger and put a Mueller APV scope on it.
I have had a blast shooting these.
Thanks for hanging in there with me.... The reason for this post is that shooting these has wetted my interest in rimfire benchrest shooting. My range has a rimfire benchrest "Fun" shoots and I am very interested in trying my hand in it.
I am amazed at how much the recoil of a .22 moves the cross hairs on the scope. How do I minimize that?
Are there any resources (books, websites, organizations) on techniques on shooting, types of matches, rules and any other information that i would need to know?
I realize that I need to participate in an event to get going in the sport, but I would like to have some confidence in my shooting first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
