Gary Hamilton of Farmingdale,Maine Shot a 250/25X with a Sporter weight rifle.
A Sporter weight is a 7 1/2 pound gun with a 6 power scope. It was done at Capital City gun club in Augusta, Maine at their Tuesday night matches. No one has ever come close to doing this before.

Lots of great shooters in Maine. Those inclined to think about prone shooting, be it F Class, FTR or sling, out to think about the Northeast Regional Matches to be held at the fantastic range at the Scarborough Fish and Game Club Oct. 5-7. I think a match program and entry form can be found at scarfg.org.

Actually, the first IR50/50 250-25X shot outdoors was done by Bill Pippin.
 
Stephane Gomel from France shot a 250 25X at the Worlds in Spain just recently.

They say that number 13 plugged an X.
 
This was shot outdoors 50yds in the daytime. Target can be seen on Benchrest Central. No questions on that target didn't even have to be plugged
Yes, i know, i saw the target before it was posted on Benchrest.. Here is Bill's target.. it also scored a great 10 Shot score, but the target that Gary shot beat Bill's..i took the pic of it last night
