We can pretty easily go under 2” @ 100 yards! memtb You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel “I’d like to be a good rifleman…..but, I prefer to be a good hunter”! memtb 2024

What would you consider an acceptable MOA at 100 yards? 2” more, or less? Most of my 22’s are zero’d at 100. I have a couple rim rifles with a 50 yard zero. I primarily shoot CCI 40g Mini Mag ammo. Seems across the battery of rimfire rifles I have, mini mags showed the most consistent. I have had strange plinking days, where a rifle will show 1.5” MOA all day long. Next time I take the same rifle out, it’s printing like I have a turkey choke on it....Don’t know why. Any idea ? 🦫 Beav ever hear of a 17 M2 ? light years ahead of the 22 LR T R U M P W O N !

I've used a wind flag @ 25 yards just to see. Yep, Just a light breeze on my cheek will move the bullet. I must be consistent on the trigger to realize this but I've seen it. I can't, won't say it's conditions every time stuff goes sour, but it's a player for sure. I use a 50 yard zero because both RF benchrest & RF benchrest for score competition is shot at that distance & data or standards at that distance are readily available. A hundred yard zero allows variables to change exponentially,,,, was it me? the ammo? or WTF?

I also picked up a Ruger Precision 17 HMR, when they were cheaper. Threaded barrel. I caught a good one. It’s been ultra accurate from day with.

Seems I can't sneak up on them much closer and from about 15 yds to 60yds POI is within kill zone aiming at the base of the neck on a chicken.j Except for the ones I miss. lol Same thing works for me for grouse and ptarmigan.

The Kimber has been a consistent rifle. The Winchester 52’s are the rifles that have good days and bad days... Both haven’t been tortured with piles of ammo thru them...Bore get’s wiped out with cleaner and cloth after 500. or so rounds. 🦫 Other than the basics.... scope, mounts, base, crown, action screws, etc. Wonder if the 52s are just ammo sensitive? That’s likely it...I’ve run a few different types of mfg’s ammo thru them. CCI mini-mags seemed to hit a sweet spot for both ~ it went South. Scope and rings seemed g2g when I checked them as a possible culprit. 🦫 Curiosity Killed the Cat & The Prairie Dog “Molon Labe”

Part of this, as I’m sure some, maybe, most would agree....is just shooting my 22LR enough to know where to hold on shots made from 25 yards out to whatever.

Clarkm Campfire Outfitter Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 10,361 WA rain forest	My experience is 1" 5 shot groups at 50 yards for the average 22 rifle will translate to 5" groups at 100 yards. The bullet goes subsonic and gets disturbed ~~75 yards. The guys serious about 100 yards with 22LR, will shoot sub sonic ammo and lob those slow bullets in with lots of trajectory. This creates a great long range opportunity for 17M2, 17HMR, and 22WMR....... but so far 22LR is still selling.
