Great fun, you guys did well for the conditions! 👍 Uh, sounds like a big cow was relieving itself in the background, added quite an ambiance to the shoot! 🤣🤣

[@BlokeontheRange]

There was a drain pipe just forward of the firing point, you'll see it in the next video! 😅

[@509Gman]

Huzzah! I did my last attempt with my M1 yesterday. Tried out a winter trigger, it’s better than freezing your finger off if you had to fight at -20° but I took it off the rifle quickly afterwards. 3 minutes low and I had to manually reset the trigger after every shot. Second attempt was ten hits, I haven’t reviewed the video for the time yet. Had a great AR run in -11°F a month ago.

[@joearledge1]

Haven't tried it yet, but I always thought the winter trigger was an Negligent Discharge waiting to happen. Maybe not so much on the range, but a company of grunts with them, in sub-zero weather freezing their butts off, and the bang-button is right where you normally grab the grip, and I assume they kept the safety permanently off when they used the winter trigger, otherwise it would be a huge pain to switch on and off. I also figured it would make your trigger squeeze better, since it's mechanically straight back, no chance to push or pull left or right on the trigger. Anyway I think it's awesome that you used it in the match!

[@myparceltape1169]

Sounds like fun. Especially the low temperature.

[@chpet1655]

Always fun to see the cabin fever challenge. And it’s odd how nobody actually has a fever !

Interesting to watch, thank you both!

In the usa we have CMP rimfire sporter that is a different take on this. 7.5lb or less 22lr, 6x or less scopes, 3lb or more triggers (ie standard 22lr rifles not olympic/fancy guns). YOu are permitted one standard M1 type sling (loop sling, not in standing), one regular glove, and a shooting matt (no fancy gloves or jackets. 60 shots for record on a target with a ~1.5" 10-ring (600 max score). 10 shots slowfire and 10 shots rapid (5 at a time in 25 seconds from standing, +5 for bolt guns) from each of 3 positions (prone, sitting/kneeling, standing). Targets at 50 yards except standing = 25 yards. A great marksmanship practice game wihout alot of equipment or expense. Basically any off the shelf 22lr and not-crap-grade ammo can score perfect as the 10 ring is 3MOA. But a perfect score has only been obtained once.

[@BlokeontheRange]

That actually sounds really great, I'd like to give it a try some time!

[@Peace-ju9us]

a cool rifle, thank you

[@mikethomas5510]

Good shooting. Due to range limitations I am practicing 3 position on 2" centres at 25, missing is very easy. Think I will add the sitting just for fun

[@619TheLineman]

Style of the time alert!

You get a cookie for spotting the reference! :D

[@gusmodelmaker]

On essayera! But will have to find a range buddy at the moment of filming as I have 2 mags only for my CZ457 too (or do like Chap avec son MAS)… even if semi-autos are better suited for this score-wise I guess, but I haven’t any so…

[@jonahmarlow3816]

Just did this today (minus sitting) at w 200 yards with an AR. Kneeling is painful, yet actually pretty stable.

[@fifty-sevenactual]

Congrats on your 1st place.

[@MrRtkwe]

Nice that's second place on the 2022 scores!

[@BlokeontheRange]

It's actually 2nd highest score ever in any category o:)

[@gorbalsboy]

Excellent vid, sounds like your next to the bogs

[@BlokeontheRange]

Thanks :) There's a drainpipe emptying onto some rocks a few feet in front of the firing point, lol

[@Riflechair]

Mag reloads were flawless and economy of motion was fluid. Rifle ran well and you managed the distractions around you. I have always seen marksmanship as a Zen state that allows the individual to partition themselves from the immediate world. Its a mental test. Now... Back to work for me...

[@BlokeontheRange]

It's my zen and my Yoga indeed :) Thanks for your kind words!

[@jarkliev]

Good and fast shooting both of you. I would need good mag loader as well.

[@0214Bub]

We shoot a similar event in the States called an Appleseed Shoot. It’s a timed 4 position event on reduced size targets at 25m typically done with 22lr rifles. Score certain amount of points and you get a well earned patch. During the breaks and at lunchtime ROs tell totally unbiased stories how we defeated the British in the Revolutionary War.

The CFC is a world-wide online competition, open to anyone who can safely handle a firearm. It's free and just for fun and open for another 2 weeks. I highly recommend it!

[@michaelwhite9199]

A two story public rifle range?! Amazing! The only public range in my area just has concrete tables, berms, and random meth addicts.

[@BlokeontheRange]

It's actually 3 storey, and it's not really public in that way, as a rando you can't just turn up and shoot there.

[@worldtraveler930]

Meth heads randomly scattered out on a public shooting range, well that's one way to deal with the drug problem Kudos!!! 🤠👍

[@myparceltape1169]

I'd have thought The Chap would have done a little better than that. Obvious that it's Blokes rifle and he was move comfortable with it. All on the paper though, not bad at 50 with a .22 LR. Thanks for posting-

Chappy deserves an extra 10 points for having to operate a excessively modern non-French firearm... 😆

[@cedhome7945]

I wonder that this could be done with a PCP air gun as some are getting extremely accurate and you probably don't need a official range

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

Wait.. what is he saying about Holland... And why they displeased.. shooting like what.. do you shoot differently there or something

[@BlokeontheRange]

It fit the small-bore carbine competition rules. Just. But wasn't in the "spirit" of them (there were a bunch of boomer prejudices baked into the rules, but they couldn't think of everything). In the meantime they've changed the rules to ban anything with a free-standing pistol grip so it wouldn't be allowed now.

[@MrRtkwe]

[@ditzydoo4378]

Looking at how far you're having to place your head/eye in relation to the scope's eyepiece. one would think that this 1x3 scope is an "Extended-Eye relief" model intended for scout rifle mounting forward on the barrel, or pistol use. the other issue I see is the rings/mounts are too tall causing you to crane/lift your head into an unnatural position from the stock's cheek rest area. Nope, nope, nope good sir, Leupold's scopes are far from rubbish.

[@BlokeontheRange]

It's definitely not an scout scope, and rather pre-dates that sort of thing on the commercial market. If the rings were any lower I'd have to crush my face down into the butt. This is probably a 1980's Leupold, and the reasonably-priced optics of that era were utter tonk compared to today.

[@ditzydoo4378]

@@BlokeontheRange agreed, the newer optics are getting better all the time. Good luck on the next shoot and do re-cock. >~

[@ditzydoo4378]

by the by. I rummaged through my wares and came across set of Leupold Detach-O rings with bases in its original packet from the late 1960's. These were to be mounted onto a Winchester 1894 Carbines barrel using the rear sight dove tail lot and barrel band as mounting points. The intended scope, an extended eye relief was a 2x, or 3x Leupold scope. quite a bit before Jeff Cooper popularized the Scout rifle concept.

I would disqualify you for hanhing the magazine directly to the shooter. You are supposed to leave it on the ground and the shooter pick it up from there.
