IR 50/50 Rimfire Bench Rest Match

This match is not an officially sanctioned IR5050 match but is similar in rules and requirements.  IR5050 is a bench rest match shot with scoped .22LR rifles at either 50 meters or 50 yards.  At SLSC our matches are shot at 50 yards.  There are 25 targets on each score sheet and all are shot within 30 minutes.  One shot per target square is allowed.  Sighting shots are taken as needed. Three relays (one target sheet each) are shot per match for a total of 75 shots for record.  This is a "run what you brung" style match so we do not break down our rifles into classes; everybody shoots in what is essentially the "unlimited" class.  That being said, we do take 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

1 October 2023

 

A beautiful fall afternoon greeted competitors at the October IR5050-style rimfire benchrest match at Sanner’s Lake, the final such match of the year, and the scores were excellent in spite of the occasional breeziness.  Dave Heilmeier saw his score ratchet up on each string, keeping the pressure on throughout the match and notching a few personal bests along the way.  Likewise Jeff Heisler recovered from his scope issues at the previous match and laid down some solid scores across the board.  Expect both of them to be in contention for the top spots when the rimfire benchrest matches resume next year!  See all the scores, pictures, and other details in the match report link below. 

Keep your eye on the Sanner’s Lake calendar for next year’s rimfire rifle match schedule and we’ll see you in the spring...
