Best 200yd target rimfire

[newracer]

I am by no means an experienced paper puncher and the other day I shot a 5 shot group that could covered with a quarter at 100yds with my 17HMR. But there was little to no wind. Wind does move them a lot.

Most all competitive rimfire paper punching is done at 50 yards.

Shooting the 17 at 50 yards is big time BORING. Way too easy.

Here is my Savage 93 (Lefty) (No 10 round magazine though)



And here is the new stock I need to finish for it:




Here were some 5 shot groups right out of the box:
I was shooting Hornady .17 HMR 17 Gr. VMax's at first then ran out and started using Remington 17gr boat tails.

The best group of 5 I got at 100yards was .993" or .800" center to center.
The best group of 5 I got at 50 yards was .580" or .398" center to center.

50 Yards


100 Yards

If you want a good rimfire bolt gun, look into a used 40X or Anschutz. Kimbers are also popular. Neil Johnson might have some used rimfires in stock. That or the for sale board at the OTC might have some leads. I know the CMP had some 40X barreled actions for sale.

I had an Anschutz 64R Biathlon (22lr) for a while, that thing was SWEET!
(Got it from Neal J Gunsmith in the Springs)
Great trigger and shot awesome. Beware, is you shoot one you WILL get spoiled on the trigger. Sold it to get my K8 Mag though.

I think what I'm hearing is that I should just stick with my 10/22 22LR.

Being mag fed also hurts accuracy. Feeding that soft lead bullet in a chamber isnt good if its not done very gentle like.

Lones Wigger was shooting a Kimber with Eley TenX ammo last nationals.

OK, 200yds is out. 50yds or less.

The CMP is out of 40X's and I really do want a repeater even if I have to sacrifice some potential accuracy. 10rd magazines would be a real bonus.

Any pointers as far as "good, better, best"?

Any particular Kimber model stand out?
