Lost a Mark III bet

tappedandtagged · 08-16-2009, 10:25 AM

My dad was bragging about how he could put a shot on paper (10 inch square) at 100 yards with his Ruger Mark III with a Bushnell holographic sight. The bet was for $75 bucks ( I actually owed it to him already for some things that he purchased for me on a project we were working on together).

Well, the first freaking shot, he just three inches left of the bullseye!! What a crap shoot I thought, till the second shot was also on paper. The third and last shot wasn't. But two outta three with a 6" barreled 22 pistol ain't bad.

Ouch.

Now that's pretty fair shootin' I'd say.

Your Dad shoots very well. The pistol is capable but most shooters aren't.

What was the load? Tenex? Minigroups? Cheapo bulk pack from Wally World?

He was shooting some CCI's mini mags.

I'll bet I can do it with my BuckMark! But the scope is set for 25 yards.

I have both, and they are the most accurate 22s I've ever seen.
