Riverbend Gun Club has a "light rifle" Match tomorrow-- Saturday the seventh.
I understand it involves .22 rifles with or without scopes, but no fancy stocks, no slings, no shooting coats and gloves. Trigger pulls have to be a certain minimum weight I think 2 1/2 pounds and the rifles have to be under 7 pounds including the optics in the magazine .
The rifles must be shot from the unsupported standing position at a target from 50 feet away and the bull's-eye of that target is the size of an aspirin tablet.
I think I'll do it in the morning using a Ruger 10/22 with a standard Ruger 18 1/2 inch barrel, but with a gunsmith modified trigger job that takes down to somewhere around 2 1/2 pounds and a cheap 4 x 12 adjustable objective scope (which I had to adjust pretty heavily to remove parallax at 50 feet.) I think I'll leave the scope set at 4X as long as that allows me to see the bullet holes in the target.
