Has settled in more now. Maybe 3/4 the size at this point using CCI standards.

Target is with and without suppressor.

 

[mr.revolverguy]

Awesome glad you reported back. Maybe I just didn't find the right ammo for the one I had.

 

[Dust2Dollars]

Winchester 52B Sporter.
Prefer the Remington model 37 RangeMaster.
But couldn't pass this up one up once I was told the aking price.

 

[Capn Jack]

I've found even a pellet rifle can be picky about what you send down the barrel. These were shot with my DPMS II Bull Barrel. 50 yards from a rest. The last target is CCI Stingers.

Funny how the, "Cheapest", (ArmScore) and the most expensive, (CCI Stingers), shot the best.

The appearance of the .22cal biathlon rifle in military biathlon competitions was the reason I opted out, after many years of shooting a 6.5x55 or 7.62x51 service sniping rifle.

To me, military biathlon was based on the REAL need for soldiers in the Arctic to patrol, reconnoitre, intercept and destroy the enemy, given the opportunity to do so. To do that a REAL military calibre was necessary. AFAIK, neither the Finns or the Norwegians, who between them invented the sport of biathlon post-war as a way of 'keeping current', as well as having a whale of fun, used their service sniping rifles - either CGs 'borrowed' from Sweden, or their own Kongsberg Arsenal target rifles. VERY hard work, it was too, with 12-13 pound rifles....but somehow we managed. Ever tried it? Between 10 and 30 km cross-country skiing against the clock, interrupted by shooting five shots at distant targets from the three positions.

When the calibre was reduced to piddling .22cal, and the targets to knocking down five steel plates at 50m, for me that was it. It was no longer military.

Quite true, but (just to be clear) when I made that post, I was referring to the modern sport of Biathalon, in its current configuration, not the military origins.
Nice write-up on the history of the sport, though.

The semis, I've got a Daisy 2022, Browning T-bolt, a Winchester T75, and a Savage 24 .22/.410 as well. PAX

 

[NobullSKS]

Daisy….. yup
1 of 3 models they produced….
- first- caseless.22 ignited by compressed air (1960s?)
- second this bolt action …10/22 with copycat ruger rotary
- 3rd this model in semi-auto 10/22 with stick mag

 

[ksjayhawk]

Wow. That's very cool. Never knew Daisy made that. How does she shoot

 

[echo1]

Mine shoots good. I put .22 glass on it and over the decades found 3 mags at one shop. PAX

 

[ksjayhawk]

Dang. Mags go for 159$ on eBay. Wheeeeeeww? I thought OEM Win 52 mags were pricey.

 

[ksjayhawk]

But they are custom crafted steel mags

 

[Magnumjohn]

Just put this together

If you're a fan of two stage triggers, I highly recommend Triggers by Scar.

Seen those. Always out of stock. Do they even make them or order only? Waiting to give this trigger spring a go but weather is already bubblegumty for the weekend. Snow spitting
