[QUOTE="SAVAGE22-243AI, post: 394822, member: 25124"] Just ask no problem........come out this weekend, we shoot .22's @ 100 yds and try and drive thumb tacks in a board, if our aim is off then we use water ballons for fun. Just remember, in our group, a rifle that won't shoot 1/4" group and better @ 100 yds is just a hunting rifle, target rifles need to shoot 1/4" to 3/4" @ 300 yds. It takes a long time to tune a rifle sometimes to shoot for us, on our bugets we have all gone to Savage for the money and the one hole groups. We do have one Howa that will do it too. But it can still take days to tune a rifle well. The .223 kills hogs well but so does the .22 short at point blank range! both shots right behind the ear! Got a 5630 fps with the 22-243 A.I., using 30 gr V-Max and filled to the brim with Varget.........vapor trail to 75-80 yds and then poof, cloud of smoke and dust and no hit @ 100 yd target..........that is FAST!
