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!
Current Match ReportSanner’s Lake IR5050 Rimfire Benchrest Match Report October 5, 2025
Four shooters took advantage of the beautiful weather to take part in the last IR5050 match of the year at Sanner’s Lake. Bright sun and negligible winds meant it was time to break out the good ammo and the resulting scores did not disappoint, with some personal bests recorded along the way. Even new IR5050 shooter Chris Martin saw his score break into the 200’s as he got the hang of the precision benchrest game. Congrats to all the competitors!
