I think we should do a "Stalingrad" type rimfire contest. Back in Peru we shot something that mimicks the last battle of "Enemy at the Gates". Knockout type of game, 2 shooters at 50m. No shot limit. Single shot loading with 22lr, prone position, no support except sling. Targets were 9 scaled down soldier silhouettes (supposed to be full sized at 400m - 455yd) and a final circular one simulating an enemy sniper's scope, about 3" dia. HAd them welded on hinges and a plate so resetting was easy. First one to take them all down wins. Fun fun fun, specially when you hear the plinks of your oponent connecting and the crowd going "oooooh, aaaahhhh" oh!" Quick Web-Fu revealed ebay has different offerings for shapes and sizes silhouette extravaganza If someone has crazy welding skills attaching these to a hinges and a bar/lever to pull and reset from distance should be fun. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTE5NVgxNjAw/$(KGrHqZ,!lwF!eTB8pnYBQUISDfg4Q~~60_57.JPG)

I LIKE that! No crazy welding skills here (no skills at all  ) but I'm sure we can con someone into running down and resetting them.  . Scopes allowed on those .22's? Ed

Yep! most people had 3-9× variables, but 4 or 6x fixed worked wonders too.

Pablo, I like the idea. A lot. We are placing an Amazon order shortly and I'll get those silhouettes on it.  Ed

So, what I found online are 5" IDPA targets similar to what you showed, Pablo (yours shown were 4").
My thoughts for the match; Six 5" IDPA silhouettes per shooter and one 3" round "stop plate".
Two shooters at a time, 50 yards, .22lr single shot rifles, scoped, shot from prone, slings OK, no time restriction. First one to drop all six IDPA silhouettes and then the "stop plate", wins. It's a "shoot-off". Once you lose, you're out. Last man standing wins.
What say you folks?

I'll be trying like hell to make this one, but you know this farming stunt is going to come first. Drop ship the Targs my way, and I'll get them set up with "crazy welding skills", e.g. pull a cable and shoot next relay,...per discussed. ....next best to being there, I'd venture. GTC

I like your small target idea, but do we have to lay on our belly like a lizard to shoot, and I don't have a big bore with out a scope, guess I will leave my rifles home and bring my shotguns and pistols. rio7

You'd better bring that .450 and your truck gun. I want to try to beat you with the AR I swapped you for at 200yds, sitting in a chair, using sticks. :-) Ed

45-70 got a scope now, 2X7 leupy, front site was so big i couldn't see a pig behind it. .450 does not have iron sites, put the first scope we took off the .450 on my .405 seems to work ok so far,so far I have shot 43 pigs with the .450, 27 with the .405 and 6 with the 45-70 I have not really warmed up to the 45-70 yet. .450 and .405 way out shoot the 45-70. as for a ar shoot out I am ready when ever you are. don't have a .22 anyway. rio7

Yeah, or In my case, drank too much.

I'm wishing I had acquired a .405 Winchester, since those are probably the lightest kicking DG rifle, and decently fast handling in the 1895, too. Never have warmed up to the 1895 Winchester, though. Besides the .475, there is also a .458 Winchester in Ruger #1 here. I have not shot it in a long time but could probably whip up some factory-equivalent loads for it. Probably a tossup which kicks less; the .475's 500 gr factory-equivalent loads run about about 1900fps, the .458's about 2100, but the .458 has a D weight barrel and weighs at least a pound more than the .475. So if someone wants to use either one, let me know. I'll probably upgrade the iron sights on one or the other.

Curdog, Sounds like we feel the same way about layin on our belly to shoot, if you are crazy enough to lay down here where I live, besides gettin covered with sand burrs you wouldn't be able to see the end of your barrel for the weeds and grass.Pat my .405 is a #1 and I really like it and it shoots great. rio7
