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 ? 🦫 This is a dumb question. Tell that to “The Shooter” with a 200 yard zero. 🦫 Curiosity Killed the Cat & The Prairie Dog “Molon Labe”

When the leaves fall, I'll zero at 50 yds. Yeah, I usually do a 50 yard zero on a .22 LR rifle. 100 yards for a .22 Magnum.

Wind is HUGE once you start stretching a 22LR beyond 50. Roughly 5 inches in a 10 MPH crosswind. Lot to lot variation is also a significant factor. I think as my eyes age, I may have some days where I am a factor as well. Sometimes range days just defy explanation.

Yeah, wind isn’t the culprit for me...I’ve had spring/summer days with no wind to screw around with ammo and rifles off a bench and bag. Think it’s maybe just differences in the ammo lots. 🤷🏽‍♀️. 🦫 Curiosity Killed the Cat & The Prairie Dog “Molon Labe”

A bore scope is a priceless tool for any shooter who is serious! I would definitely check the barrel for this. Ignition is perfect but bolts get dirty over time. This can cause ignition to not be so perfect anymore. Fully breaking down the bolt, cleaning everything, and relubing will take care of this.

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. 🦫 Curiosity Killed the Cat & The Prairie Dog “Molon Labe”

Also have some cross hatching on the vertical wire that gets me on target at 75 and 100. When the young squirrels emerge, a half inch of error can generate a miss as they're about the size of a house mouse. 1Minute
