IR 50/50 Rimfire Benchrest 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

June 7, 2026

Switchy breezes took the edge off the hot and somewhat humid conditions on the firing line but they also blew those little .22 caliber bullets around downrange, causing the resulting scores to drift like the wind.  Still, six shooters persevered and turned in surprisingly decent--if somewhat depressed--scores making for tight competition at the June IR5050 match at Sanner’s Lake.  Just a few points (or X’s!) separated the top shooters at the end of the day-- see all the scores and details below.

Our next match will be on July 5 -- we’ll see what hot and humid weather really feels like!
