After reading some of the forums on other sites,like a rimfire forum, I believe I read that practicing with a good rimfire at 300 yards is about equivalent to shooting a 308 Win at 1000. I have never shot a 308 at 1K but I did shoot an older 22LR I have at 300, and well lets say it can humble you.
So, I went out and bought a CZ 457 Varmint in 22LR, and now I am in the finding out what ammo it likes, and mostly shooting at 50 and 100 yards. It is a lot of fun.
However I had a gunsmith friend tell me if I wanted to achieve major frustration and pulling hair out, or just plain old going crazy, then get into rimfire competition. So I don't plan on doing that, "right away"
.
How many of you guys or gals get into rimfire shooting. Mostly I just took my little CZ 527 sporter to the range and shot at spinning targets at 50 and 100 yards for practice in my hunting stool while my centerfire barrels cooled.
