Got the mini range measured out and built a crude back stop to keep from bothering the neighbors. I finally got the .22 Marauder back from the tune-up.
I sent it out and had a regulator installed, some trigger work done and I put a new scope on it. The scope is a SWSF fixed 16X.
Matt and I spent some time breaking it in after we finished up a rig this morning. I took a 2x6 and screwed a row of 2" spring clamps to the backside flush with the top 2.5" apart x 15 pieces. I bought some Necco wafers and clamped 1 in each clamp so now we had a row of exactly quarter size targets. I spent a few shots dialing in the scope and then we started shooting.
I ran off a string of 10 in a row. Matt ran 9, then I ran another 10 and Matt followed with the same. Looking for a bit more challenge, we set a row of dime size marbles up about 4" apart on top of the wood target back stop. I hit 5 out of 5, then Matt did the same.
I laid a wafer down flat on top of the wood so all I could see was the edge. I hit it first try, took Matt 2 tries the first time, 1 the second time.
Getting bored and looking for more of a challenge, we set up 2 of the .22 pellets, one on each side. Matt hit his in 2 shots, I hit mine on the first try. We did it again and we both got them on the first try.
My tuner did an awesome job for me. Getting about 4 magazines per fill or 40 shots. Same POI for all.
To put this in perspective, I have a laser rangefinder. The distance is exactly 48 yards.
