Great question and very timely as we begin a new season.Are most of these shooters using special built rifles for these events, or are shooters having success with more 'standard' style .22? Just starting to get more into classes/competitions and wondering.
I'm a dial up guy. Having target turrets is important, I run an old Weaver KT-15 with numbers so faded that I have to wrap a layer of white adhesive tape on the dial and hand write the numbers! Shooting a borrowed gun has advantages....already set up, know which ammo it likes, sight settings already known, etc. Don't be bashful.It’s shootable with an off-the-shelf gun, but most people are using more of a benchrest gun than a standard sporter. A good scope with target turrets or hash/dot reticle to manage the drops is more important than a MOA rifle.
That said, the 20-straight format is shootable with even a non-target scope if you have some idea on the clicks for your zeros.
Thanks for the tips, Im generally a tinker kinda guy so I dont have much left thats stock around in the rimfire section. Was looking at a new scope prior to my first outing, i'll look for something with hash/dots, thats not something I had really thought about.It’s shootable with an off-the-shelf gun, but most people are using more of a benchrest gun than a standard sporter.
