.22 Semi-Auto
Picking brains...
If you were to shoot LSR - free standing - which .22 semi-auto would you get?

Re: .22 Semi-Auto
An old Remington Speedmaster. Cost a song and shoot anything (if you keep 'em clean).
I saw one go for a fiver at a Scotarms auction. I paid a score for mine. It'll shoot any ammo and it shoots straight.

Re: .22 Semi-Auto
dodgyrog, do you have a weight for the speedmaster?
Re: .22 Semi-Auto
I think what feels comfortable and fits is the main thing. Weight, length of pull, head position are important also good trigger and reliability. Actual accuracy depends a bit on what level you're shooting at. I believe if you're shooting around to 85-92 mark then having the most accurate rifle in the world won't gain you any extra points. If you're shooting 96-98's regularly then rifle/ammunition accuracy really starts to matter.

Re: .22 Semi-Auto
Is 4.5kg the weight limit for LSR?
Arming the Country, one gun at a time.
Good deals with Paul101, Charlotte the flyer, majordisorder, Charlie Muggins, among others. Thanks everybody.

I use an Edge for Bell Target and frankly if I could find a .22 S/A in that weight class then I would be chuffed.
I think with scope something along the line of 2.5-3 kilos.
The speedmaster (having looked into it) does not really work for LSR.

Re: .22 Semi-Auto
1066, just that I need to narrow it down as I do not want to buy multiple guns.
We have a 10/22 here however it frankly leaves me cold.
Just wondering if there was something out there that would be interesting enough to look into.
