NRL22 - The Gear You Need To Shoot A Match

[@mikehobbs7421]

Exactly the video I was looking for! I just bought a cz 457 American with sporter contour barrel in 22lr. I am a hunter first and target shooter a close second. I was wondering how many guys show up to a match with a hunting rifle and the basic set up to compete. This basically answered that for me. Thank you, cheers from Canada eh 🍻🇨🇦👍🏻

I would like to know also! Old school CZ452 from Ontario

Really good job on this. Calm, helpful and honest. +1, sir.

Great job on the video. Videos like yours definitely helped me get the courage to go out and shoot an NRL22 match. One thing I would also mention is if you tell the match director and squad mates its your first match, they'll usually help you remember things like the dope for each distance, etc.

Great video! I am new to this cool hobby, and this was most helpful. Keep up the good work, and keep your groups tight! Cheers from The Sip!

Glad you're trying out NRL22. You will meet lots of good people in NRL22 and hopefully you have a good local NRL22 venue.

[@sherryengrav3370]

Really a great video. Thanks for putting it out.

[@rslover65]

Been wanting to get into this. I've got a TikkaT3x in 30-06 as a hunting rifle. It's accuracy seriously impressed my. Think I'll be adding it's baby brother to my collection.

[@gfalexan]

The t1x shoots well

[@jefferymoyer4971]

Good video and information to new shooter looking to get started. Thanks

[@jesseburns9734]

Great job I sure love my tikka T1X it is a great base class rifle.

[@2713walker]

Very helpful….thanks

[@Robphoto37]

Very good advice

[@tattoo8620]

thank u for all the info

[@Crustyguns]

Good info- thanks!

[@LightningGB93]

I took the old school way to get my dope started with my zero at fifty yards and moved the target out by ten yards till I got to one hundred yards

[@ocabj]

That is also one way to do it.

[@halmason9252]

Please add to your list of required equipment a brightly colored decent size empty chamber flag.

[@earlyamericanarms7303]

Great video’s. Thanks for posting. I have a b series bolt action savage. Would that be adequate for an entry level rifle?

[@OrthodoxNYC]

Located in IE in SoCal. Any recommendations on learning how to properly mount an optic in the area? Thanks!

[@ocabj]

Not really. If you never mounted a rifle scope before, I suggest watching several videos on KZbin on how to set the scope in terms of eye relief (assuming your rifle is setup for your length of pull). Everyone does it differently, but ultimately you want to be able to level the rifle in some regard while you then level the scope reticle to gravity.

[@bigbjackson]

What is the rail you have for that bipod and did it fit directly onto that T1X or did you have to drill out?

[@ocabj]

Mountain Tactical. No drilling. www.ocabj.net/tikka-t1x-mtr-22lr-rifle-review/

[@Samad0423]

Great video. Question please, I dont think you mentioned rail that's installed. Which rail is that?

[@ocabj]

For the scope? Area 419

[@cz503]

What Bipod Rail is this? Best way to attach rail to laminated Boyds stock ?

[@ocabj]

It's by Mountain Tactical for the Tikka T1x/T3x factory stock. Area 419 makes universal rails. You should look into one of those. It will likely require drilling for some T-nuts.

[@jonenglish6617]

I shot my first match with the cheapest 10-22 and a 100 dollar bushnell scope

[@piche090391]

How did it go for you? The matches seem pretty fun, but not looking to dumb a lot of money into a 22LR rifle :/

[@DjSubstain]

I have a Tikka T1x with a Athlon Talos 3-12×40. Would that scope work in this sport or should I get one with more zoom? Great video!

[@ocabj]

12x max will work fine. Run it. If you feel like you need more magnification (especially if your NRL22 venue runs the longer courses of fire out to 200+ yards), then you can consider getting a new scope. But run what you have. I feel like you should do fine with it.

[@DjSubstain]

​@@ocabj Thanks for the reply. I will run it as is for now, can't wait to get started with NRL22.

[@OuterHeavenNET]

I want an under rail like you have on your tikka

[@Marc-qo1li]

Not a investment. Yeah right. It’s called welcome to the rabbit 🐰 hole 🕳️

[@Robphoto37]

Exactly 😂

[@jennifermorgan6913]

ain't it the truth🌑

[@sammylacks4937]

Ive noticed everyone not only uses mil dot reticles , it's said mils handles longer ranges and target shooting , better than MOA. The military and 99.9 % of target shooters must know more than I but , I measure , think and shoot yards, miles , mph, inches of drop. I have no idea how far 5 kms is or how fast 176 kmph is. A hundred is an inch moa bit it's 3.6 mils also huh? SMH.

[@ocabj]

TL;DR - Don't correct your shots based on how many inches or cm it's off. Use whatever your angular unit is. The reason to use MIL is because it's base 10. It's easier to just make 5.3 MILs adjustment. 53 clicks. If I tell someone to make 2.25 MOA adjustment, they're having to do base 4 (or even worse base 8) math to convert hat to 9 clicks (or 18 clicks with 1/8 MOA). Sure, you could argue fractions aren't hard, I shot competitive service rifle for a long time and I know plenty of times when people messed up counting clicks. As a former service rifle competitor, I'm used to MOA as sights are most often 1/4x1/4 MOA (not inches; actual MOA). Tracking quarters and fractions for adjustment was only easy because we had standard sized targets with known dimensions that never changed so we plotted MOA adjustments. That being said, MOA vs MIL it doesn't matter which you use if you're comfortable with it. However, making adjustments real time taking a shot and adjusting the next, I'm never thinking something is X inches off or X centimeters off. So the unit of measurement in this case is irrelevant. If I take a shot a some piece of steel at say 783 yards, and I miss right, I'm never thinking in my head, "I'm 18 inches left." I'm looking at my reticle and thinking, "I'm X MILs left", or if I was using an MOA scope, I'm thinking, "I'm X MOA left." Anyway, use what works for you.
