Shooting Sequins at 50 yards with 22 long rifle
Vložit

- Once a month I go to the small bore benchrest match at Bayou Rifles gun club. We shoot three bench rest targets then for added fun we shoot aspirins at 50 yards. 22-Plinkster calls this drug abuse, maybe that is why we switched to sequins this time. This was going to be camera experiment part 2 but since this was a real shooting match I figured it deserved a better name. It was a cold rainy day with wind blowing in from the left then the front then the right and back again. When I remove the camera to insert the bolt you can see the rain drops on my rifle stock. I tied for first place with 8 hits. I am not sure of this count, maybe something fell off while I was carrying the wet target so leave a comment as to what you think the count is. The rifle was custom made in Houston by

these guys are using a lead-sled to shoot 50 yds.
what is that all about ; it's not shooting at all !
If you have an example of how to do it right I would be glad to show it on my channel with no advertisements to drag it down. I know everyone would like to see some real shooting. Thanks for viewing DLN,
@@AmateurRedneckWorkshop try standing up shooting or at the least a bag or bi-pod. I see guys at he range with these sleds bragging with their one inch groups where all they did was load the rifle and pull the trigger 5 times. You can do that with your eyes closed.The rifle never moves in a sled.
@@DLN-ix6vf from the things you are saying it is obvious that you have never been very close to this competition and have never shot at one of these targets. You are embarrassing yourself. You have not noticed that the rifles used here are 22LR. I have done this and no one is good enough a shot to shoot this off hand. No one is shooting for groups. Without a good scope you cannot even see the rings on the target. AT 50 yards with iron sights each of the 25 bulls looks like a black circle. You will need a rifle at least as good as an Anschutz with a good scope. You have 20 minutes to shoot one time at each of the bulls. If you hit inside the 9 ring you will hit some part of the 10 ring and score 10 points. If you obliterate the 10 ring you also get to count an X on that bull. As you go down in number (up in size) each ring counts one less point. A perfect score is 250 points and 25 "X"'s
Scoring ring sizes in inches are:
10 - 0.100" = 10 points
9 - 0.300" = 9 points
8 - 0.550" = 8 points
7 - 0.850"
6 - 1.200"
5 - 1.600"
4 - 2.050" = 4 points. Outside this circle deduct 10 points.
I have seen people try to shoot this with standard factory guns like a 10/22 and they never do well. People who have been there and done that can easily see that you have no idea what you are talking about.
@@AmateurRedneckWorkshop we have older guys at our range using lead-sleds all the time and bragging about their 1/2 " groups. It's very very funny but they are old so we just let it go.
My .22 is a Bergara B14r , shoots fairly well but again I don't use a lead-sled just a bi-pod.
@@DLN-ix6vf I guess you’ve never seen .22 benchrest , you should educate yourself on shooting sports
We've been using Tic Tacs indoors on a 50' range. They fit right in a previous 22 hole and the spongy material of the backer holds them secure. Get a nice little color burst depending on the flavor, lol.
Sounds like fun. Thanks for stopping by.
The canting is doing my head in!
Sorry about that try leaning your head over the same angle. =(;-) Thanks for stopping by.
what kind of ammo are you using? I have a nice Schultz & Larsen M70 that I recently acquired and love very much so far. it has a nice 26", .920" barrel and I'm looking for the best ammo to shoot with it. I've tried 9 brand or model and so far I got my best results with: Blazer, CCI Stinger, and the two best: Remington 22 Target and Remington Viper
P.S. I only have peep sights, no scope for now
Daniel I use Eley Match ammo in the black box. The usual speed is about 1065 FPS. Lately I have been experimenting with 1070 FPS but most people prefer between 1050 and 1060 FPS. Among other places you can get this from Killoughs shooting supply. At 50 yards you cannot get by without a good scope and the more power the better. The scope I use is a T36 Weaver. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
Can you tell me please, something about the optic?.. Think is at the maximum magnification.. But reticle is pretty good!
The scope is a Weaver T36. At one time the most popular smallbore benchrest scope. Thanks for viewing Stefano.
Wind was awful that day. Couldn't figure it out at all. Nice to see the mechanics of how someone else shoots.
I was having a hard time of it actually. Aiming with a camera view finder is not all that wonderful.
Great shooting mate Give it some!
Sorry to have missed your comment. Today I am searching for comments that I did not reply to. Thanks for stopping by.
What kind of gun to go along with that Weaver t36
It is a custom made rifle, made by Evelio McDonald formerly of Houston. So no actual brand name. Thanks for stopping by.
miss plinking with 22 but here in California 22 ammo is like in search of the holy grail...
+Miguel Castaneda you can order from the benchrest suppliers but the ammo is a higher quality so also a bit higher price. Although these days they are all near the same price. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks
Thanks James.
HI, can you tell me whit kind of scope you are using? a 8-32x50?
I am using a Weaver Target T-36X40 1/8 Rifle scope. I see this is pretty common among benchrest shooters and is probably the most common use for this scope. Of course the rich guys sometimes have the $1500+ nightforce scopes. I can see the target just fine with this one.
cerberus Many thank's fro Tenerife
get a Mueller 40X 250$
I am going to shoot my first bench rest match soon after I attend some matches to get the idea. Your camera setup is excellent. Are you sighting in on a monitor?
What is the equipment involved as I would like to duplicate. Thanks
I am looking through the view finder of a JVC digital camera. You can see better looking through the scope than through the camera but as you see it is doable. I have some videos on my youtube channel showing how I made the camera mount and my first experiment with it. It is very simple to do. The main thing needed is to get the camera as close to touching the scope lens as possible so it will focus properly. I hope this link will take you there; Rifle scope video camera mount part 1
Harold, nice shooting nice shooting
Thanks Kimberzelik, I was never the best one.
What brand is your 22 my husband has a 22 but it is so dang loud.I noticed yours is more quiet.
+sarah joseph your husband is probably using high velocity 22LR. For the type of shooting I am doing here (bench rest) you use standard velocity 22LR so that the bullet does not break the sound barrier. If the bullet breaks the sound barrier it is louder, that is the loud crack you hear. In theory if you break the sound barrier the bullet will slow on the way to the target and the pressure wave following it can catch the bullet and make it wobble. So bench rest shooters use ammo that stays around 1050 feet per second. My rifle is a custom made rifle specially for bench rest and has no actual brand. It was custom made for me by Evilio McDonald who was once in Houston but has since moved out to Wimberly Texas. It is a single shot bolt action rifle. It does not have a magazine, each round it loaded into the chamber by hand. He makes some very nice bench rest rifles but they can easily approach the $2000 mark. Thanks for stopping by.
+sarah joseph most likely he will need to reset. They should hit a bit lower than the high velocity. Thanks for stopping by.
Boy, Do I remember that from Army basic training 1969.01 to 02-28.
Thanks for viewing Ridolph.
when I was a kid we would kill squirrels by "barking them" We would use a high powered rifle, generally a 30-06. We would aim as close to the head as possible without hitting it and wait until the head came close to the tree or limb and fire aiming as close to the head and hitting the bark thus killing the squirrel from the concussion.
Never heard of that. Thanks for stopping by Earl
Hi! how far away was the target? the lens is a weaver t36?
The target is 50 yards away (45.7) meters. The scope is a Weaver T36 used by many people into bench rest shooting. Thanks for stopping by.
Good morning,
If you don't mind me asking about how much did this rifle go for without the glass?
Also I can't seem to find a website for Elevio Mcdonald would you have away to get a hold of him?
Many thanks....
I bought the rifle, a pappas rifle stand and five flags for $2500 from a local person. He had purchased it from Evilio. If you email me I will put you in touch with Evilio. hswaters@yahoo.com. Thanks for stopping by.
Very good shooting btw
Thanks, really the credit goes to the rifle for being so accurate. Thanks for stopping by.
True that! Thanks for the video!
Have you measured 5- shot group size with this setup?
No I have not. When you are hitting a pencil eraser size 10 ring at 50 yards that looks like a pretty good group. Thanks for viewing.
@@AmateurRedneckWorkshop From what I have seen, cca 0.5 MOA
Great video footage looking through and shooting the Weaver T36. When the t36 can be had for ~$420 and the nightforce 42x44 goes for ~$1700, it made me really worried that the weaver was not very good. But the image quality looked perfectly fine in your video.
Have you had a chance to look through the nightforce competition scopes? If so, what differences did you notice?
I don't travel with that high dollar crowd. I have never looked through the nightforce. The Weaver does as good as I need and some left over. Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you for the quick reply. I might have to give the T36 a try someday. Thanks again!
Mueller 40X 250$ or 8-32X for 250$ great deals good scopes
What rifle are you using?
+Austin Bustle I am using a custom made bench rest rifle made by Evilio McDonald. Thanks for stopping by.
I can't get your video to play? The ad CZcams places at the beginning does, but not your video. At least not for me.
I am very sorry Fred. I don't know what is wrong as it just played for me. Maybe you need a different video driver? Do other youtube videos play for you? I have noticed that some of the older videos from other channels that I try to play on youtube come up with a error message and stop. These are the ones that are over one year old most of the time. Maybe they have changed something and are not yet aware of the problem. I have no idea how to complain to google.
Some 'running commentary' would have been better, and oh, and while you're there, how about a drop or two of oil on the screw threads on that bench rest's clamp system ?
Good shooting generally,....I'd like to watch more.
I guess some commentary would have been better but I was a bit preoccupied with trying to hit the sequins. I had not yet done any voice over at that point. The match director heard the squeaking and came by and oiled it at the next match. Thanks for stopping by.
There you go, now i know ! I think I will subscribe and see what's 'on the go'.
Cheers!
I am always glad to have a new subscriber, welcome to the channel and thanks for subscribing.
Jossss mister
Thanks for stopping by.
A picture of the rifle would have been nice.
I was not experienced at making videos back then so I did not show the rifle. You can see it at this Video link

Shooting in gusty winds.... As I learned pulling the trigger softly, slowly is good. No hasty trigger pulls. How to manage in gusty winds? Use a shotgun..... Joking.
ONE day on a NO WIND DAY I broke 10 asprin in a row with a Kinber 82G, 600$ from the C.M.P. Eley 10X ammo, 20$ a box, weaver scope 24X, fat cross hairs, no where as nice as this one. Like I said NO WIND THAT DAY.
No wind days are sort of hard to come by. Every time I show up their is no wind while everyone warms up and then when the match starts the wind starts also. Thanks for coming by.
1903A3shooter bullshit
@@ontargetthomunclesam3926 on a day with no wind I hit a cheetah in full sprint with my .22 Lr and hit it in the eye.
giggitygooalright1 Son you're not going to show me anything that is going to impress me for 30 years I was a primary Marksman instructor at the school of infantry-east Geiger North Carolina with the United States Marine Corps retired Master Gunnery Sergeant but I appreciate you letting me know that
I counted seven hits
It will be interesting to me to see what the average is, providing I get enough comments to have an average. =(;-)
TreemanGustaf I am thinking that is probably the correct count. So there goes my tie for first place. I will have to email the match director and let him know. Thanks for watching and commenting.
do that with a factory gun if you want a challenge.
I have tried it but either me or the gun or both of us fell short of being this accurate. This rifle will truly put round after round in a hole smaller than a dime. Thanks for stopping by.
I have one that will. not really stock but it is one I can take hunting. 10 22 bull barrel sig sauer scope ruger bx trigger. I just have to use specific ammo.
that's the steadiest crosshair I've seen
It has to be steady to be accurate. 50 yards is a long way for a 22 LR bullet to stay on track. Thanks for stopping by.
/ pay attention to what you are looking at the gun is in a rest wow
No one shoots bench rest without a rest. In fact it is a part of the name. Some competitions require you to use a 2 piece bench rest, others allow a one piece. 50 yards is a long way for a 22LR bullet to travel in a straight line. The wind causes deflection most of the time. A 10 mph wind can move the bullet about one inch off target.
I did not mean that you had to use a rest. I meant the if you did their were certain rules about it. I have only shot small bore bench rest so I do not know the least bit about bench rest for center fire rifles. The closest I come to owning a center fire rifle is a 45 acp carbine. It is good to be good enough a shot to shoot in any national competition, congratulations. By the way would you be interested in buying a nice 22LR custom made bench rest rifle and Papas rest and some wind flags?
Amateur Redneck Workshop how does one get your email address to exchange my thoughts and whatever else that may come up

How about 50 yards like the title says? 🤷 Thanks for stopping by.
Throw some oil on that front rest!!!
Thanks for stopping by.
You need some oil
Yes you know the match director watched this video and next match he oiled the rest. Thanks for stopping by.

Lol really LOL

Mechanical bench rest shooting . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
+iTheGeek This is not mechanical bench rest shooting. Sorry the first fellow mislead you. I do have a gun rest which everyone in benchrest shooting uses. Possibly the need for oil was what led the poor fellow astray.

Can do better with my pcp fx rifle then that for sure at 80 yards easy
Pellet on pellet at 50 yards
Last year I shot with the air rifle guys at my shooting club. None were as good as you. They had these $3000+ air guns and were shooting out doors on a tree and brush shaded range. They were shooting at less than 50 yards. The fellow who is the most experienced runs the match and he came to the small bore benchrest matches a few times and his high dollar air rifle could not handle the wind and so he was not competitive even with a low scoring shooter like me. So he gave it up. I would think with your considerable talent you would go to the air rifle nationals a lot. You probably have this info already but here it is anyway. www.usairriflebenchrest.com/notes-from-the-bench/target-tolerances-scoring/
Great, most of the folks who claim to do better with their 10/22 or slingshot have no proof. Not that I am saying I am a good shot, I am in the poor to average group. I used to shoot with some fellows who always scored at least 748 and better every match. I doubt that they could put 22lr bullet on bullet unless it was the very rare still day. If you notice in this video we were shooting in a light rain with some side wind. I have no idea of the quality of a fx typhoon and no interest in finding out but the people I know who shoot air rifle benchrest pay thousands for their air rifles and cannot hang with the 22lr group. Just my experience is the only reason I have to doubt you. For all I know you may be a world champion and shoot better than the fellow who has the Teds Holdover channel. But most of the people who come here talking trash probably do not even have a rifle.
Amateur Redneck Workshop that’s true
I shot 22lr and pcp air rifle and it’s amazing how accurate a pcp can be
Antonio Santos nobody cares
This guy doesn't know how to aim.
It is always good to hear from an expert. Thanks for viewing.
this is not shooting ..
Well they certainly fooled a bunch of us into thinking it was. Thanks for stopping by.
What?
Billy TheKid what is real shooting to you? I head shot a goat of the shoulder with my 22 rpr Is that real ?
Go stand down the range then my guy
Poorly done video.
