At our recent gatherings in the SW, we have run a 150 or 200 yard shoot for .22 rim fire sporters (not target rifle setups). Guys and gals have been doing better and better as they get used to the distance and their equipment. I think the last two were one with newer CZ bolt actions and higher quality .22R ammo - but I have manged to come in 2nd with a 70 year-old Savage 19 and an ancient side mounted Weaver scope. After the event this summer, and before I cleaned and stored the rifle - on a dead still early AM and before my first cup of coffee - opened the shop window and fired a well less than one inch group on bull at 150 yards. Probably never be able to do that again, and surely not in our competitions. My wife was hardly impressed, but, to do that felt very good that one time.
