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 🍻🇨🇦👍🏻
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.
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.
Not really. If you never mounted a rifle scope before, I suggest watching several videos on RUclips 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.
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.
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.

The t1x shoots well
Really good job on this. Calm, helpful and honest. +1, sir.
Really a great video. Thanks for putting it out.
Good info- thanks!
Good video and information to new shooter looking to get started. Thanks
Great job I sure love my tikka T1X it is a great base class rifle.
Very helpful….thanks
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
That is also one way to do it.
Very good advice
Please add to your list of required equipment a brightly colored decent size empty chamber flag.
I shot my first match with the cheapest 10-22 and a 100 dollar bushnell scope
How did it go for you?
The matches seem pretty fun, but not looking to dumb a lot of money into a 22LR rifle :/
Great video’s. Thanks for posting. I have a b series bolt action savage. Would that be adequate for an entry level rifle?
Not a investment. Yeah right. It’s called welcome to the rabbit 🐰 hole 🕳️
Exactly 😂
ain't it the truth🌑
Great video. Question please, I dont think you mentioned rail that's installed. Which rail is that?
For the scope? Area 419
Located in IE in SoCal. Any recommendations on learning how to properly mount an optic in the area? Thanks!

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 Thanks for the reply.
I will run it as is for now, can't wait to get started with NRL22.
What is the rail you have for that bipod and did it fit directly onto that T1X or did you have to drill out?
Mountain Tactical. No drilling. www.ocabj.net/tikka-t1x-mtr-22lr-rifle-review/
What Bipod Rail is this? Best way to attach rail to laminated Boyds stock ?
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.
