I purchased a Ruger7-22-VMBZ .22Mag bolt action and a Meuller tactical mildot 4-16x50mm scope. While on 4th of July vacation at the inlaws I was in disbelief with the accuracy I was able to obtain. I would set up a yardstick next to a "tree" of 10" balloons. Using the yardstick and mil-dot scope I was able to calculate the distance I was shooting...8/10 balloons at 400 yards if there was almost no wind...and 8/10 balloons at 350 yards with a moderate wind. I was extremely satisfied!!
The best part was when my father-in-law pulled out his 30/06 and couldn't hit one, and I nailed three in a row with the .22Mag.
At that distance the ballon would pop a little time after the shot was fired and I could hardly see the individual balloons without optics. If I remember the bullet drop was about 14FT+/-. Does anybody know of a place to shoot near St. Clair County MI?? I haven't been able to find a place to shoot at 400 yards since.
