[QUOTE="Go_Ordnance, post: 1337357, member: 7266"] The website you need to check out is [url]www.rimfirecentral.com[/url] I'm a guy that likes to target shoot with .22's, and have been down this road. To start with, you're asking a lot for 100 or 200 yards out of a .22 LR. 50 yards is more reasonable. A 10/22, Marlin 60, etc... won't have the accuracy to make it worthwhile. A Savage MKII is the way to go cheap, but you would be better off starting out with at least a CZ. Look at a 452, or 453 to get the set trigger. For a scope, you want the 452 American, or 453 American or Varmint. If you want to play with iron sights, look at the 452 trainer, lux, ultra lux, or FS (with the Mannlicher stock.) Price is going to be in the $400 - $500 range. Next level would be a Kimber 82G from CMP ([url]www.odcmp.com[/url]). They have a "rusty" version for $400, or the regular one for $600. Next comes 64 action Anschutz, then 54 action Anschutz. Finally, Cooper. You're going to start at $700, and can spend over $2000 easily. The CZ is amazingly accurate. The Kimber is a dedicated target rifle (it weighs 10 lbs and the barrel is the same diameter as a quarter). The Anschutz and Coopers are premium - ultra premium .22's that will be marginally more accurate than the CZ or Kimber. For ammo - Wolf Match or Extra Match, SK, and RWS will be your best bang for the buck. Around $40-75 per brick. You can spend more on high end Eley or Lapua. Save the Wal-Mart bulk Federal for squirrel hunting, because it doesn't have the consistency for target shooting. Note that target ammo is standard velocity, where bulk packs are high velocity. Here's a 10 round group (using bags on a bench) from my Kimber 82G at 50 yards. The squares are 1". No way my Marlin 39 will do anything like that. [attach=full]80827[/attach] Good thing there was only a slight breeze that day. ;) [attach=full]80828[/attach] My son and I like shooting these miniature sniper targets. Points for the bad guy, and points deducted for hitting the good guy. The head is about the size of a fingernail. [attach=full]80829[/attach] [/QUOTE]
