Man, i wasnt expecting how much concentration it was going to take!

Rifle - savage mako mark-ii in 22lr stock rifle

Scope - leopold m8 6x-32 fixed power

Ammo - Aguilla Super Extra Standard Velocity 40 gr lead RN, mfg velocity stated at 1080 fps.

Rest - my pistol range bag (forgot my rest)

Time/conditions - (3-11-16) late evening facing west (right into the sun) with a decent wsw wind guessing 10 mph, clear and 75 degrees.

Range - Golden triangle gun club, Beaumont, TX (50 yd rimfire range, target at the 25 yd mark)



If i scored this right, it should have been a 92-0x. I have a guage in order.

I also upgraded my scope to a nikon prostaff rimfire 4-12x - 40 with the bdc reticle. Hopefully the increased magnification will help. My Apachee trigger kit should be here tomorrow so once that is installed, it should also help. I dont see making marksman anytime soon, but it was sure fun!

From what i understood, in order to be an X, you had to punch put the entire circumference of the 10 ring. Otherwise its just a 10.

that's correct, but you really need to use a scoring gauge to be accurate. Did you use a scoring gauge. It might surprise you what is actually "in" with the gauge.
Before I started shooting the USBR, and got a scoring gauge, I shot a lot of other games here on RFC. Most of them allowed using a bullet for scoring if you didn't have a gauge. It wouldn't be acceptable for the 10 Bull games, but it would give you good idea on your score.
