80 yards because that is the distance from my deck to the bottom of the hollow where the armadillos play.
-----sorry to briefly de-rail thread----
That BSA looks like a sweetheart.
I have a BSA cadet (finally identified thanks to THR) that is similar that was converted in the 60's to 22 rimfire, it is unbelievably accurate. I don't shoot it in any kind of competition besides informal sunday afternoon stuff against buddies who think their 22s shoot well, it has fixed more than a few of their attitudes. May i suggest a martini action, rimfire only informal target competition thread take place soon?

It is. Thats a Mossberg house brand. I have the same one and it's a real shooter as most old Mossbergs are. When I first saw the pic I was looking at the holes in the plate thinking what the H--L ,22 ammo was he shooting.HMMM, that looks a lot like my Mossberg M46B....

This Anschutz .22 is "zeroed" at 40,60,77 and 100 meters, the official shooting distances of Rimfire Silhouette competition. There are no sighting shots when you go to the firing line, your first shot counts, so you need to be zeroed for each of the four different ranges. Which is why I keep the sigh settings glued to the rifle, as shown. The color stickers on the rifle are inspection passes from the National Championships I competed in over many years..View attachment 868159 View attachment 868160
what distance most people zero their scopes for a 22LR
Sometimes he's on fire and sometimes it seems like he's all over depending on what distance he is shooting.
distances that vary from 50-100 feet roughly
Well, my Sako P04 is zeroed at 40 meters, 50 meters, 75 meters and 100 meters. The scope has target turrets and is used for Smallbore Metallic Silhouettes. So far, it has been perfectly repeatable and consistently accurate with proven target ammunition lots.Just out of curiosity I'm interested in what distance most people zero their scopes for a 22LR
Is that an Anschutz?Auschwitz 141 with 6-18 BDC scope, 100. CZ 455, 6-24X, 50. 10-22 match, 50. 10-22 Sporter, 50. Savage 24, 35.
