I got a couple old Marlin 80DL's from back when they made them with no scope rail mount. I shoot them using Peep Sights - and they are by far my favorites. They are from a time when a .22 Rimfire Rifle was made the same as a full scale High Power Hunting Rifle. They are a joy to shoot and a...

I know the thing these days is to go beyond 200 yards with consistency and that little .22lr pill. That's a good thing!!! As for myself, I'll stick with what has worked for me at 200 yards on a 5 inch gong - rather than changing ammo / or I'll just move up to a 6 or 7 inch gong at 200 yards and...

I remember back in the early days of this SH Forum (Rimfire) - we use to send 25 shots down Range from 200 yards at a 5 Inch gong... We sure had a lot of fun with that! (y):)

The shooting sports are for one and all who have the desire to take up the challenge. Nice job! My wife doesn't shoot with me, never has. Less ammo I have to buy,,, lol... However DDAZ, you're going to be buying ammo for sure now with that fine shoot the little lady did!

I doubt there's much they can say. It's a shame that Winchester has come to this... There was a time that they were considered a leader not only in quality firearms, but ammo as well.

Looks good. How'd it shoot?

I agree with ivanthesane, get some low end subsonic ammo (if you can find it these days) and test it. My son's shot very well with Eley Sport, Aguila, CCI SV, Fed 710B Gold Match,,, you pretty much name it and the SS performed very well from ranges 25 to 200 yards. Many members here with the...

I like the way you worded that. Talk about hitting the nail on the head. Now that's some summing up for sure!

Same story here aside from a couple of shooters. Seems like most are better at talking the game then actually playing it.

Do you have experience shooting iron sights in this scope happy world, and do you have an understanding of how to use them? I seriously doubt Savage is at fault here.

Northwest Nebraska wind isn't much more forgiving, Kansas45. A few years back I shot this 20 shot match using aperture sights on my Savage FVT MKII, and I was able to throw up a score of 178 off a caldwell rest - prone. Of all things I used Federal 510B ammo. I expect grand dad did his 173 with...

My grand dad won this match (.22 Rimfire - 200 yards) back in 1929 using iron sights. I believe these matches were popular back then, and long range - Ranges were more available. Plus,,, there was no mass media such as T.V. in homes, and a higher percentage of shooter's were willing to take up...

Our store never raised its prices simply because suppliers never raised their prices until recently. And if you are paying more then the suggested retail on today's market from suppliers of $2.65 to $2.79 per 50 cnt CCI Standard,,, you're getting ripped off. Yes, we immediately limited the...

Actually had a known hoarder in the store this afternoon, and he never once ask about .22 ammo or any other ammo for that matter. My guess is (since he was crying about being maxed out on his credit cards and he didn't know where his next meal was coming from) he may have learned an expensive...

I doubt the current rimfire shortage situation is over, but I expect it's getting better,,, slowly.

This thread is from 2011.

Now that's interesting. May just look into this. Thanks!

Anyone know if Winchester is still making this stuff? My older vintage Marlin 80DL's love this ammo, which makes me really like it too!

I've got about 250 rounds (of the Federal 510B) left from a case of 5000 I bought several years ago before the .22lr ammo shortage hit us here in the States. I have to say that in all those rounds I've fired of this ammo I've had maybe 2 or 3 ftf, (but I stuck them back in the rifle and they...

I've only shot the Federal 510B and have found it to be good ammo from 25 and 50 yards in every rifle I've tried it in, but it falls short in accuracy beyond that.
