Although many of your fans would love to see you hunched over your rifle giving it a blow with a straw, you may have saved some lives by refusing to do it. Some may have heart problems and when they bust a gut laughing so hard it might have done them in. Your sensitivity to losing your man card with the Marine and NRA endorsements is understandable. It wouldn't surprise me none but what the Navy Seals, or the Green Berets would swoop in and take you out for that kind of behavior. There is however and alternative to blowing through a straw. That is take a patch and put a very small dab of crisco or TC Bore Butter evenly throughout it and run it once through the bore. Once again a very small amount. This leaves light lubrication to mitigate cold bore flyers and if you are storing the rifle removes the grit which is proven to cause rust pits over long periods even with non corrosive ammo. If you try this and it works out you might be honored by the NCO and Officers clubs on military bases worldwide by them naming alcoholic beverages and sandwiches after you!!@@Dayattherange
@@Strutingeagle Man I almost busted a gut losing this you just about did ME in lol. Your method is very interesting to me. Does it have to be either of those ingredients would regular old CLP work?
I don't know about CLP but do not use any petroleum based oils. I tried Kroil and it is a big failure too. What happens if you use some oils is that the bore gets crusty and you will lose accuracy because of it. You can feel it with a cleaning rod and patch. Not so with lipid and wax based lubes. Use very very little so the first shot is the only one that gets effected by the non evaporative lubrication. If you know you will be 20 minutes or more before shooting another group, run a lubed patch and will stay put. Also make sure you do not leave a clump of lube up in your bore either by having a very small amount worked thoroughly into the patch. It is safe for you and the gun.@@Dayattherange
I've competed in many 22lr matches years ago. Which included pistol and rifle matches. One thing many of us shooters learned was 22lr ammo is very finicky in cold temperatures. The cold can make your 22lr ammo shoot inconsistently. Instead of leaving your ammo boxes and magazines out on the cold bench, keep them on the inside of your coat preferably next to your body to keep them warm.
In agreement I usually keep them in the warm car, keeping them on the bench is mainly display purposes for the channel. I use to get a lot of questions about what ammo I was using even though I would say it at the beginning of the video.
I'd go home, tell my woes to a winchester52. Of course, it being seasoned and wise, would ask you,"Why didn't you take me to the challenge in the first place??? Can't wait to see what dayattherange has for us next. Thank you.
When you go to print and the print options come up make sure you click on print to size. Then it will print correctly as the rest of us have used. Can't wait to see you in the challenge.
@@nopro5433 Yes sir the green dots should be there. Since it is St. Patrick's Day Challenge some suggested I needed to have at least some green on the target.
Awesome new challenge Elijah. Can't wait to get shooting this one too! So far the score to beat is 44!That's some fancy 0/22 rig you have there! Wowsa!
Thanks for putting me on the list. I just finished putting together a 10/22 with a Ruger action, Kidd barrel, Spectre Ballistic chassis and a Venom Doamondback 6-24 scope. I'll try it out tomorrow for the first time.
Fliers are gonna be a killer with those cloverleaf targets, Eli. Everything considered, you shot pretty well with that Clark Custom for your first try. Enjoyed the video; thanks, Eli. 👍🏼
Cant wait. Def not going to try this one tomorrow.. Wind is going to be 16-20 MPH all day. Can not wait to try this one out with my New gun. Propbably run it twice once with the Custom 10/22 and with the new Bergara.
FYI ....... St.Patrick used a shamrock ☘ not a clover, 3 leaves not 4, to explain the holy trinity, but at least you didn't say St.pattys day...... here in Ireland we say St. Paddy's day. Nice bit of shooting with that ruger 1022, in Ireland the humble. 22lr is by far the most popular and common rifle caliber. 👍
You finally spotted it I knew someone would eventually, I wanted to try and even it out with 25 shots that why it is so sir. Hope I did not offend anyone as it was not intended that way.
Elijah, I guess I might break my old click-clack out and put a scope on it or 1967 Rem 552. Then the stock strait up stock 457 Lux just don't think it wood be a challenge for the 17. Well maybe I'm always going to do your challenges but never do in time. Just keep them coming I do enjoy them and thanks for the targets I seem to print them all now I just need to shoot them. I have trouble getting out to do that but you might get me inspired to push my self and help me live longer. Thank You Sir !
Looking forward to more of your challenges. It would be nice to see a contest with American vintage only rifles. Any scope and triggers allowed but must be factory otherwise. Whadda you think?
@@Dayattherange We have a summer time match using vintage rifles. Lots of them out there waiting on a good excuse to knock the dust off. Did you get our last two targets ? thanks, bill & susan
I printed off a bunch of these and will be challenging my fellow, local precision shooting club members, tomorrow at the range. I thank you for the great idea! Oh, I was wondering if you could be so kind, as to tell me what that tool is you use to check shot placements on the targets?
Elijah, It has been many years since I shot RWS ammo. It was never a good performer in my very accurate Remington 541-S. Maybe today’s RWS will shoot better groups than the older ammunition. Jim
John I did not expect that to happen so quickly. I got a couple of emails this morning that I think I agree with. The official target should not be altered in any way just to make sure there is consistency. TO BE CLEAR NO ONE suggested cheating we all do this for fun. So what I have done is put a green dot in the middle of the circles the new target will be up on the sight in about 10minutes. dayattherange.com/?p=12156
I'm thinking about a HB for my rem. 597, got any suggestions? I've only found one, a company called Jarvis, 250 beans. Any help would be appreciated. The straw is a good idea, just keep it off camera!😅❤❤❤
Love to see you try this with your 597 they are usually pretty accurate from the factory. Volquartsen use to make barrels for them that you may be able to find on the used market. Jarvis a good barrel though many say change out the hammer for a VQ hammer for more consistent ignition is needed more than anything. Good luck.
@Dayattherange I've already installed a Mcarbo hammer spring, knocked about 1- 1 1/2 lbs off! I'll be ordering the Volquartsen hammer next payday. I'm now a full believer that a lighter trigger = better accuracy. The spring alone shaved about 1/2" off my groups. Work in progress. It's almost ready for some of your challenges. We're at a pretty consistent 1" at 50 yards, the goal is 1/2" at 50 with CCI Standard Velocity. It seems to like it the best, and I have a couple bricks of it!
As the targets start to roll in you can view the leader board right here dayattherange.com/?p=12156 even download the target for free if you yourself want to join.
email me at mr.revolverguy@dayattherange.com and tell me you want on the list. When you go to print the target make sure you have 8x11 paper selected and fit to size chosen.
Well I did it ! I haven't done any of these before so I have some questions. Do you want a e-mail picture of the target ? For the higher score , is it to not touch the line or cut it out ? Thanks, bill
Go ahead, spend hundreds of dollars for a rifle that won't shoot straight. Then, spend a couple of thousands more on a rifle that you have to drill holes in the back of the receiver just to clean! Save your money and buy a real rifle.
Do it to it Elijah!!!

Glad to see another one Eli, hoping to get out tomorrow morning!

Clark uses a Lothar-walther German barrel same as Kidd. Accurate for a semi-auto.

He sure did, Josh to busy playing with prophylactics LOL.
Awesome video
Thank you Dexter
From a English fan who shoots a lot of 22cal take two deep breaths on the third one inhale holds your breath and let your shot go before 3 seconds.
Did you load two in that last magazine? If you did you still have one in the chamber.

@@Dayattherange Thank you, that is greatly appreciated!
Nice set up. Honestly I've not had great experiences with RWS ammo, always a little inconsistent.
I have heard many say that and honestly it was my experience until I came across this combo of rifle, RWS100 and RWS Special Match.
Good job Elijah. Did Josh shoot this yet, or is he still in pursuit of accuracy and dealing with fliers with his CZ's sporting Lilja barrels?
The rapture is a coming, you and your spirit will be there.
Reminds me of the ARA target
Get on, son🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
My Clark 10-22 prefers Eley but jams occasionally with those wax filmed bullets.
Another fun challenge, Thanks
James we are waiting on you partner.😁
Nice!!
Elijah,
It has been many years since I shot RWS ammo. It was never a good performer in my very accurate Remington 541-S. Maybe today’s RWS will shoot better groups than the older ammunition.
