Gussied Up 10/22 vs. Ruger Precision Rimfire vs. "Whatcha got?"
- Thread starter toobaroque

I have no idea what that barrel is (the maker), but it is incredibly accurate. I think there was some work done on this rifle at some point in its life.
Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures, but I did shoot these two rifles in competition last night for the first time. The RPR I shot at 50 yards and the 10/22 I shot at 100 yards.
Three styles: bench rest, kneeling and standing. Ten shots each within 2 minutes, with possible score of 300-30X. Obviously the young guys have an advantage with the kneeling and standing positions, but I gave it a good college try and did better than expected.
With the RPR I came in a disappointing 2nd place out of 12 shooters. Wouldn't you know a thunderstorm came through about 15 minutes prior to beginning the shoot and the wind was swirling and the humidity was about 95%. This really affects the CCI Standards, I'll say that.
Bench: 99 - 7X
Stand: 92 - 1X
Kneel: 100 - 9X
Total: 291 - 17X
The winner had 297 - 20X so I wasn't far behind.
The 10/22 shooting Federal 36 gr bulk ammo fared better, taking first place out of eight shooters. Even though I was shooting at 100 yards with only a 7-power scope, I was surprised and disappointed at the same time. My bench score was surprisingly terrible, but the other two stages were better than I expected.
Bench: 94 - 3X (everything was high and I couldn't see the holes in the black paper)
Stand: 94 - 4X
Kneel: 99 - 5X
Total: 287 - 12X
The next best shooter was at 282 - 6X.
I still have more practice to do, but I sure did have fun!

Fun event bro.. Good shooting. Look forward to joining you some time.
Aug 29th is the next one. 5th Wednesday of the month. You might be up here for Labor Day at the cottage!
NEWSFLASH:
I have a line on 2 brand new RPR's. If you know someone that's looking for one, let me know ASAP and I can get you in touch with my dealer. I "think" his price is $399 but not sure. Obviously shipping would be extra.

I walked into Bullseye in Lawrenceville and they had three. I bought one off the shelf for $399. I was pretty excited, not gonna lie. I pulled that trigger and said “sold”!
