All good everyone, settle down. The truth of the matter is I was given the hold and told to get on with it. Hit within 2-3 shots, from then on it was easy. I think once you know your rifle after a few thousand shots with the same ammo it is a lot easier than it maybe first appears. @rossi.45 had it right a couple of weeks ago, seems he and @Wingman and @Dundee and whoever else have just worked it out and off they go. I hadn’t even heard of this kind of rimfire work until Rossi.45’s post with those 200m+ rabbits. I intend to try and join the club. The windage is quite hard, that’s wear the skill needs to be learnt.

Interesting thing for me is how hard it is to find any reference to this kind of rimfire shooting on the interweb. There’s very very little out there about 200m rimfire.

600 redfield range finder camera capture....even trying to photo graph the range finder is a challenge.

How’s he doing retrieving at such distances? Do you use hand signals?
You must do! This for you unbelievers is why the bike is facing the wrong way. He stated at the start of the article that he’s only 5’4!
In the set up for the shot he has already anticipated that his marksmanship might bring results and would need to stand on the back of the bike so that the dog would be able to see his hand signals to finish the retrieve:D
Also any good farmers worth there salt would never drive across a paddock as it fecks up the grass which you need to produce milk so that you can bye quality firearms to take out the grass munchers that should not be their!:thumbsup:

no hes just that short he needed to stand on quad to be able to see the hare due to the curvature of the earth. he almost needs a periscope for those shots.

The only reason I dish it to him is because I’m jealous, not of his shooting, but I don’t get out fishing very often.
I get all the bites I need from @Dundee to keep me going:)

Thinking about it, I have done this as well, about 6 years ago. The range was about 200m and the plate was about 1 foot square.

I have no photographic proof and no Licensed clergymen were there on the day to verify anything, just a bunch of shooters,including a small bald man who was very much in love with himself, @sniper80, @Kaimaikid, and Me.

My memory is very hazy. @Kaimaikid might remember the specifics, I think it was a 22 using subsonics.

He told me," I've got the holdover sussed, give it a go. Hold the cross hairs on the top of that ridge."

Way above the target. Like a good boy I do as told and squeeze the trigger and from far away, a tiny ding. I did it a few more times,and handed the 22 back to him shaking my head in disbelief. No way I could've hit it in a month of sundays without some assistance.

Fierce powerful ammo Dundee. I see that it's blown a chunk out of the bottom of that grader blade edging

impressive shooting Dundee, I guess it's all about knowing your firearm. That 22 is an extension of your arm and you use it more times than most of us.

I was thinking of placing balloons out at 200 then you'd all see the hit from 200 as it was not quite audible hitting the steel from there.

Hey @Dundee you challenge shirker, am I wrong or didn't you say that you accepted the challenge I put. That challenge is to repeat the shot in exactly the same place and range with the shooting to be witnessed and verified by your local Presbyterian Minister. If someone else starts their own religion for the day to act as verifier that would be acceptable I suppose as long as you show an edition of the Bible ( Shooters Bible would suffice ) in the photos.

The cheek weld position is lower, you will need to get used to it by shooting it more. Come back and tell us how it is going one hundred critters from now. You have seven days and then we will apply the fantail in flight test.

Looks like the barrel is bent. Makes your efforts even more impressive. How do you do at shootin' round corners?

Yeh I saw that as well. Surely it has to be an optical illusion caused by the background.

Perhaps it is bent and the forend pressure from the old stock brings it straight, Max ??

I see these rifle upgrading efforts from Dundee and that's all very well and good, but I haven't seen any time devoted to the 'Hare at 190 odd metres' repeat the shot challenge yet. There is time for Balloon shooting and other sidetracking but no time to maintain your honour Dundee.
How about as penance you provide a full unopened jug of Watties 'Train-smash' as a target for one of the next forum shoots ??? Oh and you be tied in a chair with your eyes taped open and forced to watch every shot !!

@Dundee, send me the old stock and I'll do it up for you. PM me.

That stock would make I nice trophy, furthest one shot glove kill. Maybe added to the Toby shoot. Start at 100 everyone has one shot each, those that hit go onto the next round to say 120m and so on in till only one left. Dundee will end up taking it home anyway judging by the way he shoots.

Took my .22 out to 120yards today have to admit I have been sceptical that I could shoot it that far out but it was easy and I have no doubt 200yd accurate shots are more than achievable, next time bigger paddock
Attachment 102648
My kids all did there p.b today got them out to 60yds was gonna give them a go at 100yds too but it started to hose down.
I usually just set up at 25-30 yds for the kids.

Wonder if you can get .22LR loaded with CETME style VLD, extra gyroscopically stable, projectiles.
