Silverboy at 45 yds

Post by dasmoeturhead » Wed Mar 18, 2020 12:49 pm

Nice outing with the Silverboy .22lr
I shot probably 100 rounds with this rifle today. My 45 yard range is just that. 45 yards. I don't think anymore shooting for accuracy is needed. I shot until my eyes were blurry, and there were 2 Beagals running all over the ridge behind me, so I quit. Dang dogs. Here's the best I did today.
I think I want to try 100 yards with good ammo, not the junk I was using today.

Looks good Moetur. Had my Frontier out last weekend and was shooting some Remington ammo. Mine was shooting very well. Not as good as Bandit of course but I bet off the bags I could give him a bad time anyway.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Thanks guy's. It's such a sweet little rifle to shoot. I think if I can get my bench, bags, and supports just right, I just might be able to do ok at 100 yards.
Back in the 80's I had a little model 60 marlin that could print ok at 100 yards. It did have a 4x scope on it though.

That's the true measure of a marksman Al.
Most of my shooting is off hand. I use the bench to hold all my gear. Lol

Think you have that one nailed down at even 50 yds. Great shooting there!

Nice shooting ;)
Now you can have fun with clay birds, pop cans, water bottles and various fruit. All of which I'd rather shoot than paper targets. :)
