effective range

Hey guys
Just wondering wot range you use your .22 for? Ive read in other
sections about zeroing at 50 yards and effective up to 90. I set
mine at around 80 yards and am getting clean head shots on
rabbits at up to 140 and down to 30! Im using a mtc viper scope!
Wot yous think?

Mine is set for 55yds and it shoots flat out to 70yards. At 150
yards i think its 3.5 mil dots using winchester subs. I have a
mtc mamba scope.

im knocking over bunnies and crow etc at 80 yards with my
weihrauch hw100 so i don't see with a .22 a range finder and a
half decent scope u should be hitting target very accurately.

folk when talking about shots taken at ranges 120 plus with a
.22!! Just got me thinking are people getting the most from
.22s? Lol

i have cz .22 i zero at 70 and shoot to about 100 effectively
but have hit and killed a bunny at 155 don't ask the tec as i
couldn't answer ye but i will admit it took about 6 shots the
little sod sat not knowing what was going on was i pleased . 1
thing i have found is i tend to pull the shot to the right
ending with body or back end hits i think it is a habit i have
picked up ,but am asking would it be the trigger im
right-handed was thinking off getting a timney trigger kit any
advice folks

possibly to much of your finger on the trigger, only use the tip
of your forefinger. using more of your finger tends to make you
pull the trigger rather than gently squeezing it. i could
however be completely wrong ! lol

I am not an expert especially with the big guns being an air
rifle person. Same principle with any rifle though.
Apparently as devil_bri said use the tip of your finger not
wrapping the finger round the trigger as you may pull your
shots. Squeeze the trigger not pull the trigger.
Finally follow through, keep your eye/scope on the target even
after the shot has been taken, dont lift your head after you
pull the trigger keep it down for a couple of seconds.
Helped me a bit especially the follow through bit, keeps things
a bit smoother.

theres no straight answer for .22lrs as it depends on the type
of ammo you use, with my ruger 10/22 my longest shot had been
134 yards (after alot of practice, working out on ballistic
calculators and using a range finder) but most were usually 80
until i found cci stinger ammo, it turned it into a mini 17hmr,
first day i used it i shot a magpie at 75 yards in the head,
another magpie at 130ish, and later on two chest shots on a
rabbit at 130 yards, very little holdover needed.
heres a pic from a ballistics calculator, cci stinger is a 32g
round travelling at 1640 fps, eley subsonic 40g round travelling
at 1065 muzzle velocity, both rifles zeroed at 80 yards

you can see the difference between cci stingers and eley subs,
the stingers have a far flatter trajectory - although i should
point out theyre far louder than an eley sub, even with a mod.
heres a shot of what 17hmr trajectory looks like compared to cci
stingers, again both zeroed at 80 yards (tho my hmr is usually
at 100), hmr data is a 17g ballistic tipped round travelling at
2550 fps, its only after 120 yards the cci stinger really starts
t tail off, but its still manageable up to 150 yards (about 11"
drop) imo, though you could go further :)

a very wise man once told me shotgun shooting is an art, rifle
shooting is a science... which is why you spend 95% of the time
tearing your f*****g hair out with them :D
