    Yeh more or less the same rifle as yours, but I've modified it quite a bit with a zooboy stock job, cut down to more or less minimum OAL and made up a custom suppressor for it. The scope mount I used is a BKL 454 which I found in NZ for around $120 and works well, just a pain to have to remove it to clean the action properly.

    But it's about 150 years old and not really match winning accuracy

    That it fires at all is a win
    mate if you have a spare 25 rounds go for it lol

    And why are we not seeing any targets yet . . . . well let me tell you.

    Went out yesterday with my trusty 10/22 HB. Fired a group with the ulta reliable batch of Eley Club I have - oh yeah, zero is close but thats OK. Lets start on the test - WTF, group is more like a spray than a group. Like a dumb bugger I kept trying for another 15 rounds. All sprayed. Then I noticed bit of grey shit in the action and had a look - oh there the problem. its long overdue for clean.

    Took rifle to bits and cleaned thoroughly. Found that when it went away to get threaded it'd come back with the barrel screw torques up the wop - 10-22's are a bit sensitive to this. Put everything back together and clean the mags for good measure.

    Went out this morning and decided to give it run with the cheap (but good) Geco Semi-Auto until it was "shooting". Bingo - first group right on the 0.5". OK - adjust zero and start test - WTF WTF WTF - group is a spray again!! Like 40mm. Being a slow learner I kept trying for another 20 rounds.

    So - whats going on. Well this rifle was always shot with no suppressor, but here I can't shoot without one. I took the suppressor off to have a look at the crown, and bugger me, - whats that in the suppressor. Took a baffle off. OMG - its got a extra ring of crud right to the bore line, and is CHOCKA with shite.

    So thats now soaking in CLR and thats why I have't submitted a target yet!

    that looks awesome @Mintie may have to do a bit of thinking around how much of the original rifle has to exist for classic/vintage though lol

    @Tentman
    give that barrel a good clean mate
    make sure you fire at least 2 mags to re season that bore before you shoot the target mate

    Yep the scope is a pain as far as removing the breech block assy for cleaning .
    Have you noticed any change in accuracy or zero between semi and single shot ?
    Yeh this one was in a bit of a state when I got it so wanted to make it a bit more "me". Check out the build thread here - https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....-stubbs-41503/

    Groups do open up a little on semi and poi changes slightly. Still makes for a great pest control rig.

    I intend to have a go but the wind today was shocking. I had to give up re-oiling the deck late this morning as the gusts were threatening to overturn the paint tray. Managed to get back out about 2pm and got it finished just in time as a front came through. Gotta win some of 'em.

    I have a "classic" "semi-auto" Browning SA-22.

    Can I enter it in both classes? In not then in which class?

    I have also heard from a forum member that the targets are hard to see with ageing eyes

    Maybe a calculation factor / handicap based on the age of the submitter
    My idea not his
