So, this weekend, I went shooting with a buddy of mine at the local 'shooting range'. While there, he was breaking in a new Remington 597 .22 that he had bought. Always one to do my share, I gave him a hand!
We weren't doing long range stuff, 25-50 yards, and I decided that I would break out my Ruger Mk II to try some longer range stuff...most of my Mk II shooting has been at 25 yards.
I found out that at these intermediate ranges(25-50 yards), while shooting freehand without a rest, I was more accurate with the pistol than with the rifle, which is not what I expected. I'm not sure if it's because I have been doing more pistol practice, or what...but it surprised me.
It has really caused me to rethink the idea of needing a pistol caliber carbine...having found this out with a Mk II and a Remington, I am dying to get to compare the accuracy of a 6" .357 with a lever action .357 at these type of distances.
Anyone else have any experience with accuarcy at intermediate distances?
