22 Contender will shoot

[JayHHI6818]

Few years ago decided to shoot rimfire match’s at the gun club. I use to shoot this Contender in silhouette matches. Mounted Sightron 36X power scope on it. The barrel is a match chamber and it loves Lapua pistol king ammo. It was funny to see some of the rifle shooters shaking their heads when they saw my scores. Targets are at 50 yds

When I shot NRA Small Bore Hunter's Pistol Silhouette back in the late 70's to mid 80's, the T/Cs with rifle scopes ruled the range.

All the Master Class shooters I knew shot this system using T/C 22 LR with match barrels, mostly with 6X Leupold rifle scopes.

Contenders can be surprisingly accurate.

Contenders can be surprisingly accurate.

There is no such thing as an inaccurate Contender.
