Title: Guns For Ruger Rimfire Shooting Competitions
Post by: steel4u on August 23, 2009, 03:35:43 PM
Let's see the guns you would use for Ruger Rimfire Matches


Here is my Open Class Tactical Solutions barreled 10/22:

However, if there was a Tactical Class I would probably run My Spikes Upper and a Tactical Solutions 1911 conversion:

Ok so I hit the web site not all my questions are answered, is it Ruger only for guns? Can I use a bolt gun for a rifle?

Thanks,

Andy

PS looks like a match in PA in Sept. for us northeasterners!

So, say, what 10% is Ruger and the rest third party?


I want to get in on the fun, if there were a Ruger match near me, I guess I'd have to break down and find a 10/22 receiver somewhere that I could then outfit like yours.  Very nice.

I was just listening to one of MB's podcasts and he was talking about the Ruger Rimfire Shooting Competitions and he was saying that there are classes for just about every type of .22 rifle (bolt, lever, pump, semi-auto). If all you have is a bolt gun, I don't see why they would stop you from using it. Doing so would discourage people from participating because they would feel like they would have to spend money just to try it.
Ultimately we want people to come to competitions and shoot, so what if it isn't the latest and greatest firearm. If they have fun and enjoy themselves, they are more likely to continue and will spread the word about it.

My pistol would be my stainless Mark II Target with the 6 & 7/8" barrel.

Here's my rifle choice. She's a sweet shooter. I don't think that the distances will require a scope, but I don't know.

It is a non shooting POS!  I even sent it back and it still won't run a mag without jams!

I got this Buckmark for Christmas when I was 18 and shot the crap out of it in college.  In stock configuration it did incredibly well for me at the first Ruger Rimfire Challenge.  Then a good friend was kind enough to give me the Tactical Solutions Barrel and grips.  It is now the fastest gun in my arsenal.
(http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa253/ruger4u/IMG_5746.jpg)


I still have to figure out a better sighting system (aimpoint mico or Cmore) for my 617 but I think with a little practice I might be able to give the Buckmark a run for its money.  One of these days I'm going to shoot the entire steel challenge course with both guns and compare the times...

From Steel4U  "Then a good friend was kind enough to give me the Tactical Solutions Barrel and grips. "

A VERY good friend, with VERY good taste.  ;D
I had a Buckmark, it was the best .22 I've ever shot but I had to sell it when I got laid off. :(
Means I can look forward to finding and setting up another one when I get back to work  ;D

500 for a .22 is too much for me, but it does look cool!

 Seems like if you want anything other than a plain vanilla type semi auto $500 is the going price.

SIL bought one of these a few months ago.  Other than the 10 round restricted mags, it's kind of a hoot to shoot!  Kinda silly looking fake supressor but hey, it goes bang!  Can't say on accuracy, I couldn't see the sights...

$500?  $500?   That's in the cheap seats.  This is what I'm talkin' about, Willis.

Juuuusssssssst over $3,000 between these. :-[  Squirrel hunting's getting to be a baaaad habit!

(http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww40/BigCheeseStick/P1010284.jpg)

Then throw in another $500 or so for the rimfire ammo I've managed to "hoard".

Worst part is I still need Mark II pistol, and another Savage BTSV in .22LR to match the .22mag...  Then I can be happy.   ;D

The USSG / Zastava "Z5" seems like a pretty fair deal in stock at BUD'S under $300 bucks!  I cant get BUD'S site to come up right now for the exact price.  $280???

My Yugo SKS is Zastava made, and the machine work is exceptional (for an SKS).

Just when I thought I was getting close to completing my rimfire collection...

Out of everything on the page, I think the full auto American 180 would have to be at the top of my list for the ultimate .22LR fun
Or better yet, the AM15. If you just loaded 10 rounds in the mag and kept the selector on semi, it would actually be a decent choice for the rimfire competitor looking to attract a little attention:

Just add a Calico pistol and you would be all set for the "Mega Capacity Class"

Calicos don't run well.

im considering going to one of the Ruger challenges if it is close enough here in the PRC.

I already have a 10/22 so shooting this wont be an issue. but my curiosity is what the general opinion is of wether the smith m&p 22 or the Sr22 would be a better choice for shooting this event as well as a substitute training weapon to match up to my Daniel Defense M4 Carbine.

all commentary is welcome.

Badgermilk, did you happen to look at the links page? under Gun Rights links all they had was ANTIGUN links. I have a feeling that they aren't what they claim to be.
