I know it's not a centerfire bolt, so it does not count, but I'd never fired the Savage/Anschutz 54 Sporter at 100 yards before, so I did this morning. I thnk if I practiced a bit, I could get it under 1/2". It has an older Leupold Vari-x II 3x9 AO on it.
I swear #4 is legit. t looks like #3 has 6 shots but I dont think I shot extra on that one.

I have a bolt with a 114 Compact but that is set up with light loads for my son. So, I skipped the bolt portion. No Savage pistol.

Thanks guys. I really need to get a rimfire scope for that 24. With those 30 gr CCIs, it is a pretty reliable rimfire out to 50 yards for sure. The K4 on there now was what I had laying around when I decided to scope it. I really need a Leupold rimfire to go on there with a really thin reticle. I bet those groups would tighten up.

Jeff, great shooting! Both look like the likely winners; think I'm gong to need your address for the possum :-).
I had the Savage/Anschutz 54 Sporter out yesterday for fun; it did no better than that. It has an old Leupold 3x9AO on it; last week I ordered a Sightron Sii 36x42 BRD Dot to put on it. Can't wait for it to get here and get it out on the bench (not for this competition).
My Ten Shots Quick. Did not have an 8" paper plate, so made an 8" cardboard circle.
After picture .. all ten shots on plate.
Setting here wondering how Keith got all ten hits on that plate when the best I could do was five...then realized I was shooting from 15 yards vs. 15 feet. Was not a good day at the range. 45 min. there and forgot the targets Gary sent. Hopefully I can get back to the range before the time runs out.
Savage...never say "never". Rick...

My postal entry pics for the .22 pre-60 and pistol no longer link to Photobucket. I am re-attaching. As noted in earlier post, after firing, I unfortunatley found that the the T1 screws were loose :-(
Went to the range today to shoot the 100 yard center fire lever gun match using a prewar 99R with a Lyman Alaskan in the Stith mount. Did the same thing as Rick, forgot the target sheet. Not a total waste though, checked hunting loads in this R and it likes them.

I'm afraid that I DNF. Took some practice shots (I need it) first week of June, then proceeded to get injured/surgery and haven't made it to the range again yet.
Here is what I did do for fun;
1907/.32, nickel 2 magazines @ 25', little high 1st mag., better 2nd.
NRA1919, 50yd. seated supporting rifle, Nice groups, Almost dialed in.
1899H/22HP with fuzzy scope & 99C/303, 50yd. seated supporting rifle, Nice 303 group though high (I'm a deer hunter!), HP is a little scattered but that's probably me. HP has nice round holes though.
Just got in after a long hot weekend. Too much sun, not enough beer. Shot my targets yesterday. Give me a day or two to tabulate the results (and try to figure out how to post pics here- you need a degree from MIT in computer sciences to do it now. Grrrrrrrr).
The 1933NRA with Litschert scope turned in sub-MOA groups at 50 yards. The best were with an old box of RWS R-50, the last of which I had, figures. It was about 95 degrees at the range and by the time I was done with the rimfire leg, I was boiling and not in the mood for shooting high power at 100 and 200 yards. I shot a couple quick groups with a .22HP, around 1 1/2MOA, aperture sights, and called it quits.
On a cheerier note, my colonoscopy results on Friday showed no cancer or polyps. I'm just a normal PIA again!
