    Results July 2025 Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    Yay, finally had a nice weekend for a match. Was a bit hot and muggy but no storms or high winds to contend with. It was a good turnout with 37 entries and some really great scores. With the pursuit of the high end ammo and shooter skills getting better I'm gonna have to do a target rack shift I...

    My adventure into Long Gong (kinda)

    I've been a Longrange competitor since the Seventies starting in IHMSA but have always played with seeing how far I could get a 22 rimfire to shoot and hit things farther than most thought possible since I was in 4th grade shooting at a muskrat every morning before leaving for school that swam...

    Results June 2025 Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    June match is history with three days of really calm winds, A couple sprinkles on Friday and a downpour so heavy on Sunday I could not see the targets past 150 yards, It didn't last long. Turnout was kinda down compared to last year but maybe due to high prices for everything, multiple shoots or...

    May 2025 Topstraps Rimfire Match Results

    The May match turned out pretty good. Less people, more new shooters I think than regulars but maybe being Mothers Day kept some away or maybe getting boring. I switched some racks around to shake it up a bit, some might stay in place others will be returned to their regular spot but for sure...

    Results April 2025 Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    April shoot is in the books, was REALLY cold and blustery on Friday, started off cold and calm but as the day went on wind picked up. Saturday was a bit better but could still see your breath and Sunday got up to 60 and decent. Not a big turnout, not sure if cold conditions, a few other shoots...

    April 2025 Topstraps Longrange (Midrange) Rimfire Challenge

    Spring is finally here, well maybe but it's coming. I'm going to have my Long Range (Midrange) Rimfire matches again this summer. I think this is going on the 14th or 15th year and it's amazing to see how far this longer distance 22 rimfire shooting has progressed. We used to get eye rolls and...

    Anyone Shooting a 40x?

    Great guns, I call mine Old Reliable. It's my Go To for our local Long Range rimfire matches. Not really even trying for a tight group but was chronographing some Lapua SLR at 197 yards. 5 shots. Two pictures to show nothing under the thumb. Topstrap

    Lapua SLR versus 338 Norma for longrange? It really is about Lapua SLR ammo.

    Tried to think of a catchy title for this thread something like 338 Norma versus 22 Rimfire for Long Range or 22 Rimfire humbles a 338 Norma at Rayners Range today or some other catchy title but not sure what I'll do. This is mainly a thread about our day out and some things to pass along to...

    barrel twist/long range

    Spin drift if you're positive your scope is perfect. I spend a lot of time making absolutely sure my scope is perfect and tracks exactly up a verticle line placed at 40 yards thru 100 minutes of elevation adjustment. My personal range is nestled in a small valley surrounded by trees and in the...

    Round count to determine the best lot# ?

    Yup, we've found all lots of SLR shot the same and RWS R50 is another ammo that is equal to SLR for our Longrange matches. Topstrap

    2025 Lapua ammo in stock vendors

    Not much Lapua being sent, especially the top tier stuff. When it does show up it's usually gone in minutes. Usually gotta get on a list and wait a year or so. Some send their guns to a test center if for nothing else to be able to buy a few bricks or maybe a case. Topstrap

    Rear bag recommendations

    For PRS style of shooting my Son likes his Gamechanger. For most prone or bench shooting we use a bag of my own design. Oval shaped of military canvas. Nice and firm and can rotate as needed for elevation changes. Tough as Hell but kinda manly fuzzy ugly but is best design we've found for our...

    Car/Truck Lift

    I just finished putting in an Atlas PV12PX 2 post lift. It's a 12K symmetrical style, extra wide and extra tall so there is plenty of extra room for doors to open and mirrors to clear. I've set mine for a 14' ceiling but it will go another foot taller. Very beefy and very well made. I'll...

    October 2024 Topstraps Rimfire Challenge Timed Match Notice

    Well, Fall is finally here and this will be the last Topstraps Rimfire Challenge matche of the year. This is the match I wait for all year, it's by far the most fun to run and watch everyone compete in. Some competitors get a bit intimidated by it since there is a time limit but quite a few of...

    September Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    I can tell when they get out to 100 yards or so, some B stuff does decent but still use up more real estate on the targets and also the occasional dropped round. The top shelf stuff you can pretty much know where it's going each shot. If you have to cheat with ammo we have a couple of Savage MK...

    Results September 2024 Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    August match is in the books and was a low turnout. It was windier than normal except for about an hour on Friday morning for the first two competitors. Saturday was really bad and only two shooters braved the wind but still shot well. Friday and Sunday were both shifty breezy wind and there...
