[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2277680, member: 9299"] Glad to see more and more people learning about and enjoying LR 22 shooting. We've been doing this since the 70's, and in my earlier years, we used target 22's at reduced ranges, 3-400yds with scaled targets, to practice for Palma and 1,000 prone shooting. It was cheap, fun and very effective practice for reading winds, changing light, trigger time, follow through, etc. I still have my old Rem 513T used in those days, and it still shoots ragged little holes at 50yds and small groups at 100. Through the years, I've used varied target 22's wearing 4-12x, 6-18x, 6-24x scopes at LR, modified bolt sporters like 581's, 77/22, 541's, etc, and even have a self-customized 10/22 with heavy 20" target barrel that does very well at LR. Some of the most memorable shooting days I have revolve around a couple of good friends and I lying prone or sitting and sniping at distant clays, gongs, 22 or field pistol silhouettes and varied reactive targets(glass items in an open country dump). It seems we always had to keep extending the ranges for the shoot-off to determine the day's winner. [/QUOTE]
