[QUOTE="milo-2, post: 2495336, member: 33622"] I am not sure if I can explain this correctly, but target 22LR ammo does not drop off in speeds at distances any more than upper mid pack BC bullets would in a centerfire rifle. At 600 yards, your remaining velocity is around 600 fps, or roughly 56-57% of starting speeds. BY comparison, a .223 75gr Hornady leaving the muzzle at 2700fps, it will have lost half it's speed at just over 700 yards. When I think of rimfire, it is 22LR, other versions seem to be cheating, if it is that windy, I have rifles I can shoot. I also am not here to spend your money, I have a Bergara B14R, a Rim X, and a Vudoo, the latter 2 under ideal conditions will shoot 5 shot groups under 1/2 moa at 300 yards, ideal conditions<<<< with the right ammo. If I was forced to sell 2 of them, I would keep the Rim X, the action and the magazines are superior. Also, if in a pinch for a replacement barrel, there are prefits out there that will do the same, or a switch barrel with a faster tw.. The Bergara for the money is top notch, and the Vudoo speaks for itself, they deserve a nod just for the advancements they have made in 22LR in the last 3-4yrs. [/QUOTE]
