[QUOTE="rewiltshire, post: 1585214, member: 53629"] In my Rifle & Pistol club one of the biggest turnouts is for the .22 LR 100 yard benchrest match. We have five of them a year. Four classes; stock, custom, unlimited and iron sights. You will see anything from Ruger 10-22's to some pretty high dollar custom benchrest rifles. I shoot an old Remington 580 with a Leupold VX III scope. My joke is I shoot a $75 dollar rifle with a $750 scope, but my setup came from an old member that is no longer with us so there is a lot of sentimental value. I can compete just fine. But as stated before, find the ammo your rifle likes. It makes a big difference. Mine settled in on Lapua CenterX, so I bought a case of the same lot number. Another thing is I clean the bore once a year, when I put it away for the winter, and make sure that it is 'dirty' before shooting a match. Just seems to shoot better. The problem lies in not being able to achieve a 400 score, top score would be 400 - 40 X, but how many in the 'X' ring. And judging the wind is one of the biggest factors. But it is one of the most enjoyable matches we have. No big 'boom' and no big 'bump' on the shoulder that you pay for the following day. (and yes, I know my bench is a mess) [ATTACH=full]124431[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
