My Mark II Rocks at 200!

[TargetTerror]

My club has an ongoing honor system rimfire match. It is 20 shots at the attached target at 200 yards from the bench. The target from my first match is attached, and needless to say I am well pleased with the results! The circle is 4 inches in diameter.

The rifle is a Savage MKII with stock action, trigger and barrel. I put it in an SSS laminated stock, and and optics are a 20x Super Sniper, Warne rings, and a 20 MOA Ken Farrell base.

Conditions were pretty calm, with the occasional gust of wind here and there. My club's 200 range is kind of funny in how it is setup, and estimating wind is consequently a real pain. That said, I found that POI didn't shift at all when the wind did pick up, probably because any wind along the bullet's flight path was probably blocked by the trees along the edge of the range.

I'm not sure what happened with that low flyer, as I don't remember flinching. The SK + is very consistent as you can see, but I would guess that round was just a touch slower than the others - a few fps here and there makes a BIG difference in drop at 200 yards with 22lr. I'm not sure what happened to the 20th round, but what can you do ;D

[TargetTerror]

Thanks. No work down to the barrel or action, I just put it in a SSS laminated stock.

Which Mark II model is it? I'd like to get a long range 22LR setup and I'm curious.

:) Meet Brad at the range and he will show you his MK 11 BV and how to do it in the wind. He did it at the shoot

LMAO! man story of my life, the last round never fails!! It's usually 5 and 10rnd groups for me, I guarantee my 20th rnd would have done the same thing :P Nice shootin!

So Target Teror, how do you stack up against the others> Are you in the top 10? Top5? The Top?
How many targets have been entered in your competition, and who's on top?
