Got a new toy -- Oh Boy -- Oh Boy ! !
The new toyI've been trying to compete in the e-Postal Rifle matches all season using my 12" barreled High Standard pistol, and considering that it IS a pistol, I've been fairly pleased with the results.
However, I've been keeping my eyes open for a .22 caliber bolt action rifle for this purpose. I happened to be over at a friend's place the other day, and he mentioned that he had a .22 target rifle that he wanted to sell. I went over this morning and bought it.
I got a chance to shoot it a little bit this evening, but I only had ten yards to work with, and a wobbly old table for a rest. Even so, I was able to easily put a dozen rounds through a single 3/8" hole! I can hardly wait to see what it does at 100 or 200 yards.
I'll get a full post up once I've got a little range time with it, but for now, I've just posted a partial picture. Can you tell what it is?

Prolly be a fine rifle out to 50 or even 100 yards, but .22 LR doesn't cheat the wind well enough for real accurate work at 200. The gun may be up to it, but that little bullet, plodding along at no more than 700fps out there, with time to target of a half-second or more, and wind drift of (interpolating) about a foot means you will have a helluva time making those 3/8" holes, bro.

Or, you could supress it, and make yourself into a Tom Clancy-ish .22LR assassin.
I got it for shooting against other .22's, and time will tell if it's the right rifle....
I can't wait for the full-blown post!
Yee-haw!!
Congrats on the new toy! Sounds like it should be a tack driver.
...the .22 Mag, on the other hand, does fine out at 200 yards...
Rivrdog, who's still waiting to hear what this is.
