Yeah you need to put them on something with light recoil or they die it turns out

i have always looked at it the other way . . . ' why wouldnt you put a great scope on a rimfire '

first thing i do with a new scope is bolt it on my most accurate .22lr and test the hell out of it . . . i fire hundreds of shots going up & down the elevation, changing power and focus lookn for trouble, if it passes that test it goes on a centerfire.

@Beetroot, when I play my part and in good conditions i can shoot sub MOA at 200m (so groups come about 50mm or just under) but only just. In my sako quad i think the Norma and Lapua Polar Biathlon shot 10 shot groups that were just over MOA at 200m, SK Match and R50 shot about 1.5MOA 10 shot groups and the Eley black came in a little over 2MOA.

For me though i am suffering from velocity fliers and vertical strung groups at longer ranges. I have changes ammunition batches though and those velocity fliers seem more prevalent in my current batch of Norma.

I have a Mauser 107 that shoots right at MOA or just over at 200m with the Lapua Polar Biathlon - peeved me off because its a cheap little basic 22LR and it shoots awesome - my Sako quad is easier to shoot well and has a vastly better scope on it but that little Mauser is still there accuracy wise.

@Nibblet I am sorting rim thickness in 0.01mm increments and yes in my stupid, anal, pedantic mind i am seeing a justified improvement in accuracy with my rifle. As 10-Ring mentioned you may or may not see an improvement with yours. Also yes the same potential improvement would be seen with a 17hmr as both cartridges are head-spaced off the rim.

Has anyone realised that this is a 2011 thread?

Thanks gillie, might have to give it a whirl just for trails sake.

That pobjeda is like buck shot compared to some of the others in that test.

Yeah it's an old thread but still relevant.

What about one of those Sako finnfire .22's they look pretty nice, can't say the same about the price though .

@Gillie bloody hell that's some good shooting! Do you use a suppressor with the subs/std velocity or does it effect accuracy/reliability?

Where is the best place to pick up a decent range of match 22lr ammo?

Ive got an anschutz 1416 i think the model is. Learnt to shoo with it anx bought it off my old man and the thing is a machine. Ive probably put a few thousand rounds through it killed hundreds of possums rabbits and hares with it. Even killed a 80-90lb sow with it one day. Longest kill ive managed with it is 152 smoked a hare. Bloody good guns if this one ever dies ill buy another anschutz

Rimfire Ammunition – Belmont Ammunition

I really like my Ruger 77/22.It feels like a propper Rifle,the bolt is alot more solid in function than most rimfires.The Barrel has been cut back to 12" to make it standard length with a Can.

It shoots like a dream and hasn't let me down in 21 years.

But I see nothing wrong with having it on a .22, why not.

Nice Quads !
This one has a 17 HMR barrel but I’ll get a 22 barrel for it one day.
It now sports a Vortex HS-T for the time being.
