    Lets do it, rimfire Postal Match

    Anybody interested? Summer is half over and I need an excuse to shoot. I've been shooting anyway but its more fun shooting for a reason and with others even if it is long distance and on line.

    Sign on and we will set up some rules and targets.

    I posted this in competition too, hopefully some of you will bite.

    Holy smokes are you and I the only two who admit to owning a 22 and actually shooting one. Come on guys, chime in, lets get some shooters here. In deference to those who don't have an outside range we can make it a 50' match on small bore rifle targets, any other suggestions.

    I just found out Rimfire World is back...

    I'm in but the 50yd range at my range is closed for now.

    OG - you probably saw my post in the Survival forum and I have 2 - 22LR (bolt & 10/22), the Convertible pistol, and the new 22 Mag bolt.

    May be interested in this. Don't have .22 turn bolt though. Is this a rifle match or a pistol match? Will all the rules on how to do this be posted for those that have never done this?

    Can I use my .22 cal air rifle? It really packs a punch. Made my shoulder sore one afternoon when I went through a whole box of 500. Not so much the shooting but the pumping.

    Maser, I'm going to tell you no. In fact, what you have technically I believe isn't even considered a firearm by the BATFE.

    I don't own any .22 bolt rifles. Really need to invest in one.
    I shoot .22 AR's a lot. But right now I'm using conversions so accuracy is not great.
    I had a 11.5" Lothar Walther .22 AR that would shoot 1/2" at 50 yards. I thought that was pretty good for the platform.

    This is rimfire not 22 caliber. As long as it is rimfire the caliber is irrelevant.
