.22 MAG Sporster back at the range
« on: September 10, 2012, 12:48:10 PM »
I have been doing that - pressure on the hammer, over and over, trigger pull thing to improve the pull. It has made the trigger pull smoother. I am still on my boxes of Armscor 40gr HP's. The ammo seems to be accurate and consistant. 50 yards is too easy with the scope so as I had another target set at 100 for another rifle I poked a few out to it. Four inches low - dead center. I guess thats the drop for this round. I left the scope settings at the 50 - eye of gnat settings. Every time the sporster comes along it just gets better...or maybe I do.

It's smoothing out and shooting better, and you are getting used to it.  You are both improving.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

My old 22Mag Ultra Varmint keeps getting better too (lucky for us, hey!)  ;D . Why not -0- it for 80yds and check your 50 and 100 yd targets for POI, I think it will give you a more useful 'point blank'?

Everyone loves a accurate rifle!!

4" drop with a 50 yard zero sounds about right. But remember a bullets track is a arch and comes from a scope that is mounted approx 1.5" above the bore. SO, siting it shoot about 1/2" high at 50 yards, is gonna bring that 100 yard impact allot closer to zero. (as suggested ;) )

I have had a on again off again thing with the 22Mag. I had a fair shooting Ultra Varmint 22mag and bought a 17HMR. Well the HMR was so much more accurate I did not "need" the mag anymore. That was a couple years ago... Last year I have a new piece of property with a Coyote problem. but its somewhat populated so CF rifles are not approprate and the 22M is taylor made for this. I found another 22M barrel and got lucky, it shoots my favorite 50G Federals.

Best of luck with your shooting!
