BoomStick Budget Rifle & Ammo Challenge

BoomStick @FukuYTmark6 and LongRilfe @MnShootingSports have set up a 50-yard rimfire challenge that is right up my alley: Budget. This challenge target has six 3/4″ target rounds which is pretty standard but the real challenge is the limitations on the price of the gear and ammo you can shoot it with.

This challenge is limited to factory rifles (no upgraded trigger or barrel) and optic must have a retail price of less than $700 combined. Moreover, the rimfire ammo used must be bulk box 22LR and excludes more premium ammo types such as CCI Standard and Norma Tac22 (CCI standard is premium? love it!).

I’m a dumpster diver at heart so I accept this challenge with a smile. My rifle is a factory Ruger Precision Rimfire which I bought on a Black Friday sale at Sportsmans Warehouse for less than $300, but for the sake of this challenge, I’m going to count the average sale price today which is about $400. That means the scope I choose has to cost less than $300. Fortunately for me, I recently reviewed the Discovery Optic LHD 8-32×56. A very high magnification scope for a very budget price of about $249 https://youtu.be/Jn7LcnJBsbg

For the challenge, my Ruger RPRF was installed with UTG Reconflex bipods (retails for about $49) and I shot it with Aguila Super Extra High Velocity 40grn CPRN.

During the challenge run, I initially aimed at the center of the dots but experienced a climbing point of impact. While attempting to compensate by aiming toward the bottom, the point of impact sometimes shifted downward. By the 3rd target circle, I gave up compensating and simply aimed at the center. About 50% of my shots were flyers. All in all, I only scored 11 out of a possible 18.

WORD(s) OF THE WEEK

Colly

The lyrics to the “The Twelve Days of Christmas” was first published in the 1700s and based on a French poem. What we sing as Day 4: Four Calling Birds was originally written as “Colly” which is a European Black Bird. “Colly” is derived from “Coal-y” meaning black and where Border Collies get their name.

DATR FTS Overwatch Mission

Day at the Range is a popular YouTube channel that creates uniquely designed and fun rimfire challenge targets. He shoots them on his channel and encourages other shooters to download them and share their results. This December he created a snowman themed target where we have to protect Frosty The Snowman (code name: FTS) from being melted by evil suns.

I downloaded the target and added some festive holiday colors to the otherwise black and white target. I posted my target at the prescribed 50yrds and after zeroing my scope, proceeded to shoot at each sun. I missed about half of them unfortunately. Worse yet, I hit FTS with one of the misses. I only managed a meger score of 2 points but it was a fun attempt nonetheless.

If you’re interested in the scope I was using in this video, its the new Discovery Optic LHD 8-32×56. A very high magnification scope for a very budget price. I reviewed it https://youtu.be/Jn7LcnJBsbg

WORD(s) OF THE WEEK

Mondegreen

A mondegreen (/ˈmɒndɪˌɡriːn/ ) is a mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase in a way that gives it a new meaning.[1] Mondegreens are most often created by a person listening to a poem or a song; the listener, being unable to hear a lyric clearly, substitutes words that sound similar and make some kind of sense.[2][3] The American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in 1954, recalling a childhood memory of her mother reading the Scottish ballad “The Bonnie Earl o’ Moray“, and mishearing the words “laid him on the green” as “Lady Mondegreen”.
