[QUOTE="Cyclopsoz, post: 630506, member: 42461"] Greetings from Australia. This is my cherry post (first). Long range shooting with a .22 is something very dear to my heart. I figured years ago that if guys could stretch .303 and and 308 win out beyond 1000 metres, then an accurate .22 or pea rifle as it was known in the old days here, was capable of hitting targets out to the limit of the ability of the scope to match trajectory. I started long range .22 shooting with a single shot Anschutz model 1386 and a bushnell scope chief scope in about 1968. Since then I have had many long range centrefire rifles, or more correctly rifles capable of long range shooting. I have always continued to use .22 as a fun way to improve my abilities. I have two long range setups in .22: a Martini .22 small bore target rifle chopped to 18" and restocked with a montecarlo stock and topped with a T 10 weaver scope. My main squeeze however, is an Anschutz model 54 silhouette rifle topped again with a T10. This rifle has the advantage of the beautiful 54 trigger and is capable of putting 5 shots that you could cover with your little finger nail. Both rifles are capable of hitting a 6" steel plate at 400 metres. Using the dial up turrets and allowing for wind is great practice for centrefire shooting without the expense. I must say I envy you guys in the US for the range of actions etc you have available to you at such great prices. We are limited to what the importers think they can sell. regards pete [/QUOTE]
