Thread: More 22lr Ammo/Accuracy Testing - New Toy!! Pic Heavy

Smartarse... I actually just found couple of the Marlin 982SV 22WMR targets from our last range visit. With the calipers your group 0.28" at 50m, and my group to adjust scope up an inch over the dot was 0.1". Just a 3 shot tester but indicative of how accurate these little 22 magnums can be with right prep and right ammos. There are some well made magnums around now - eg CZ and Weihrauch - the latter a beautifully engineered wee rimfire. The Marlins quite good rifles with excellent barrels.

Just found a heap of my old rifles/target pics on old photobucket site. Can't remember owning some of them, there's been so many through the gun cabinet in the last 20-30 years. Lots of wee chopped,prepped JWs that we did for ourselves and others and almost all could group down into 0.4s" at 50m - sub MOA - at best. Great wee workers. Gadgets little chopped JW, referred to above, shot easy 0.3s" at 50m, repeatably - cost him $115!! Should be illegal!! Its one of the lessons of a long shooting career - price is not necessarily an indicator of accuracy
