What is the longet .22lr shot you made?

[darinb]

I have saved up almost enough to get a great .22lr rifle that I lost years ago. I was curious what the longest shot you made with a .22 rifle open sighted or with scope?

 

[andyrping]

I know you specified rifle, but my only memorable LONG .22 LR shot was with a S&W 617 revolver on a 4" diameter plate, offhand, double action at 100 yards. I think there was a little bit of luck in my pocket though as the other five in the cylinder never clanked as the first did.

Using a Volq. barreled 10-22, I've plinked our 200yd hi-power targets

and have a lot of fun.

my gunsmith put a 28" barrel on his 10-22 and he said he was killing p-dogs at 250, I have seen the gun did not see the shot ...

To be honest, about 50 yards...

on a squirrel

I shot a squirrel cicra 1975 at about 75 yards with a Remington bolt rifle and the 3/4" .22 scope on it.

You might find this thread of interest, it talks about taking the .22lr out some distance.

Using My old match rifle, a Anshutz 1903, I can hit 6" spinners at 100Y+/-, with constant adjustment. I think the sight set is jacked up! It was a gifted to Me in 1988 by My jrotc instructor as .22 was phased out in favor of air rifles. I shot competition with this rifle for 4 years.

6 miles 353 feet and 9 inches, over the shoulder, blindfolded and hammered, I hit a horse fly that was aggravating my dog, buzzing in circles over his head thanx for letting me have some fun.

I was able to hit an 8" steel plate pretty consistantly at 150yrds with a Ruger Charger

Several years ago(30 or so ), I bought a Mossberg model 144 bolt action .22Lr.
Bushnell Banner 3x9x40 bore-sighted to 100 yards.

Used to line up walnuts (in the hull) on the edge of an old concrete pad about 75 yards from the house. Go back upstairs and lay the rifle on the second floor window ledge.

Just plinkin', but loads of fun! Used to win quite a few bets with that rifle too. I still have it, and take her to the range now and again.

Talking about it again makes me think about taking it out for a squirrel outing

stray cat at about 50 yards with my old bolt gun. little maggot was attacking the cat I used to have

 

[U.S. Patriot]

I have shot the cap off of a 20 ounce bottle of water, at 50 yards with a Marlin 925R with factory mounted 3x9x32 scope using bulk ammo.

 

[mettle]

100 yards, open sights, regularly. I've never been to a range with longer yardage on a regular basis... sadly...

I need a friend with YARDAGE! lol.

 

[Litlratt]

I hit the earth at about 220 yards. Scoped.

Sorry about your fist shot though...

That flying bullet was just too much of a tempting target to pass up!

After all the highpower classes and carbine stuff, I STILL can't hit targets like this.... what's your secret?!?!
