22 silhouette matches have targets at 40 meters, 60 meters, 77 meters, and 100 meters. In my experience with match rifles, shooters would puke with 2 inches at 109 yards, pretty Ok with 1.5 inches, and lottery winners if under an inch. Really with wind, things happen. Any shooter who is competitive would only have nightmares about using Minimags too. Anyone serious is using Midas or some such. As a bonus, you'll get less wind drift with the low velocity match grade ammo.

My best ever 22lr 100 yard group. Shot several close to this that calm day, so it wasn't a fluke. Annie 64, 6 oz. trigger, 36X Weaver & Federal 900B. Had been zeroed at 50 & took 32 clicks up for 100. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/W4BvH4gc/IMG-0959.jpg)

Any of you use a 100 yard zero for 22 LR rifles ?
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 ?

Yes. CCI ammo.

I shoot subsonic/suppressed .22 lr for rock chuck damage control. A heavy barrel ruger stainless/laminate 77/22 with the muzzle threaded. Ammo is 40 grain CCI subsonic at 1050 fps (pure lead with a bit larger hollow point). I mounted a 10x SWFA super chicken on it, with 40 moa reticle. A 50 yard zero will require 7 moa at 100 yards....40 moa gets me to 260 yards. And yes, I've killed many chucks over 200 yards, including a few out to 275 yards. The accuracy and repeatability of that rig still amazes me, even after all these years of using it. The other thing I find interesting is how it easily dispatches rock chucks.....they are soft and die easily.
For a desert varmint rig, I shoot the same model rifle in 22 mag, using 40 grain winchester jhp. I have a leupold 6x42 on it with the long range duplex. +1" at 75 yards gives me a 100 zero. The dots represent 130 and 165 yards....the top of the post is 200 yards. Off my shooting sticks, a 200 yard jackrabbit is in deep trouble.....providing the wind is minimal. Summertime coyotes require a perfect hit to kill quickly with it, but called in to inside 100 yards, it's no problem with that rifle. It has lots of dogs to it credit.
