I was looking at getting in to NRL22, something me and my boy can shoot together. Was wanting to get some info and ideas of set ups and gear. Any info will be awesome
NRL22
- Thread starter Shoot clean eat
- Start date
There’s a club near you that offers NRL22 matches :

Grab a 22lr rifle most use bolt guns but there are semi autos at some matches too. A scope you can dial MIL is most used and easy to compare holds with shooters but some still use MOA. A bipod you can remove easily when not needed. Get some data on the ammo you shoot so you’ll know what it does at distance and zero your gun at 50yd is most common. There will be more questions when you get there and are easy to answer at a match. Most shooters share info and gear till you find a support bag you like before you just buy something.

thanx for the info I'm a member at 17s seen the flyers around. looks like a trip to the store this weekend
No problem at all. Glad to see another interested in shooting NRL22 it’s a good time with like minded shooters. Some great people I’ve met at these matches. Good luck and if there’s questions reach out here or at the club for help.
Also a ballistic app is good to have on the phone to help with dope at varying distances. Once you fine tune with your data it can make math fun at the range / match.

Best thing to do is just show up to a match. If you have a rifle and ammo, bring it and people will be more than willing to share the rest of the gear.
If you have nothing, show up and watch and talk to shooters. Most are more than happy to let you fondle their setups.
I would say that you will need a rifle for each of you. Getting one and sharing won't work as I assume that you and your son are different sized. Length of pull and comb height being the two main factors.
As far as rifles, I'd go with a Tikka T1x on the low end. How much money you have to throw at this will dictate what you can get. If you have a budget in mind, can certainly help with more suggestions and to narrow things down.
There is a lot information than we can dump on you. Best to go see what others are running. Touch and fondle their stuff to figure out what you like the feel of and what fits. From there, can dump info on you such as kestrel, and ammo selection and testing, bipod, bags, slings, optics, weight, balance, etc.

Im just getting into it too. Its a lot of fun and very challenging
Are you shooting the match this Sat ?
I plan to. Ive also suggested that we do some elevation work for the outlaw stages. Might head up there tomorrow for practice
That’s awesome thanks man looking forward to it.
Looking at getting us both guns. Went to day and shot a few different with some buddies. He likes the RPR.
