First time shooting New Anchutz......

[hothead]

I received my new 54.30 about 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I finally had a chance to shoot it.
I had mounted a 24x Weaver on the rifle until i get a base to mount my S V Sightron
I fired 55 rds of Eley 10x that i had for about 20 years. After 30 rds the rifle came alive. Never in my wildest dreams did I think a 22lr could group like this. My last 2 , 5 shot groups were under .200 at
50 yards.
My plans are to shoot F class . I have the U7 stock on rifle and am going to make a few mods to it
to fit me and weight it down a little. and possibly piller bed the stock.
After shooting with the 24x scope , i'm wondering if i really need the 10-50 x?
I want to thank Ken Benyo for answering a lot of my questions on rimfire. He is a wealth of
knowledge and is willing to share it.
I'm a HM in highpower F open , I' sure this will take a while to achieve this with rimfire. But I will try.

What ammo have you found to work best - so far...?

I just picked up slightly used CMP 1903 for prone practice and I am amazed at the accuracy of it for being an entry level rifle. It shot 1/2” elevation at 100 yards off a rest with wolf match extra, sk flatnose match, and eley team. More than accurate enough for my purpose.

Ken, it's good to see that you are "alive & well" . . . and shooting well! Presuming that you are the KL I know, your BR accomplishments weren't exactly mediocre! I'd bet on you, "catching on".RG

Ken
I recommend trying the Sightron before you settle on the 24x. You have it already, so give it a go, especially at 100y.

Glad to hear that the Anschutz is coming along.....certain to be settled at 1000 rounds.

Congratulations on you new rifle Ken.
I recently got a Anschutz 54.30. as well and will using it for bench rest but not out to 200m . Our local ranges are 20m, 50m and 90m although there is a couple of 200m ranges in our State.

I have only had mine a week and have already had it to the range a couple of times to sight it in and try a couple of different rounds. So far the Lapua offerings are shooting exceptionally and the RWS and Eley are just OK by comparison.

I also have a Anschutz 2013 in a factory stock with no modifications other than a Tuner and although competing well with it over the last 3-4 years the 54.30 in the first week has me setting a PB for me shooting SK+. My 2013 also shoots the Lapua best especially Midas+ so I'm looking forward to seeing how well the 54.30 can perform once I get more familiar with the new Rifle.

I'm thinking I'll be able to give those custom built rifles a bit of grief a bit more regularly now.

A was my previous best that I shot over a year ago with my Anschutz 2013 was a 200.14 out of a possible 200.20.

Happy days

These are the prevailing conditions at the time of this email, however please understand that other conditions may be
