IR 50/50 Rimfire Bench Rest Match

IR5050 is a benchrest match using scoped .22LR rifles at either 50 meters or 50 yards.  Our match at SLSC is not an officially sanctioned IR5050 match but is similar in rules and requirements.  The targets are placed at 50 yards; there are 25 targets on each score card and all are shot within 30 minutes.  Only one shot per target square is allowed, but sighting shots can be taken as needed. Three strings (one target card per string) are shot per match for a total of 75 shots for record.  This is a "run what you brung" fun match so we do not sort our rifles into classes; everybody shoots in what is essentially the "unlimited" class.  That being said, we do note your rifle make and model so if you manage to out-shoot that guy with a slick custom action using your bone stock 10/22 you'll get special recognition in the match report!

Sanner’s Lake IR5050 Rimfire Benchrest Match Report

September 7th, 2025

Seven shooters ignored the gloomy skies and dodged a few raindrops to come on out and shoot the September IR5050 match at Sanner’s Lake—that’s dedication!  The rain didn’t dampen the scores either as three shooters broke into the 700’s in the combined score category to make for a tight race to the finish line.  Likewise in the individual score category we had numerous scores into the 240’s and needed to dive into the tie-breaker rules to rack and stack them.  Of special note was Marcus Ciuryla shooting with us for the first time as well Kayla Wentz shooting her first match and discovering that quality ammo really does make a difference!  In the old-school-cool category Butch Butchko brought along his classic Winchester 52 with vintage scope, showing you don’t always need the latest and greatest hardware to hit the bullseye.  Congrats to all!
