Thread: Testing light 22's

Hello Gentlemen

I have a 1415-1416 (with a shortened barrel) that is a really sweet little rifle, and it "seems to want to shoot". I have been through many ammo types and found a couple it likes.

I say "seems" because although I can shoot some small groups, there are still too many "strung" shots.

My goal is the "CanadianGunNutz" challenge of 5 groups of 5 shots at 50 yards, all on the same bit of paper - all under 0.5" BUT its not happening yet at least.

I think the main issue is my technique, I've been playing with it and can "move" the point of impact with different holds and hold weight. It seems to most like a minimal hold and shot almost free recoil (or what I understand to be free recoil). I am shooting from a very solid bench only in perfect wind conditions.

You wisdom on how to rest, bag and hold such a rifle to achieve best results would be appreciated - or anything else I might have missed, like maybe I should be using a bipod??

@mudgripz and others . . . . .

Thanks
Foster
