[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1451641, member: 10291"] I have been working at refining my 22 rimfire set-up for first shot hits on squirrels to 200 yards. I also use the same rifle for rimfire PRS which can include shots on 12” steel plates out to 300 yards. My most current set-up is an upgrade to more accurate(low ES) ammo, Vortex AMG FFP 6x24x50 scope, all mounted on an MDE chassis. The rifle/action is still a factory Savage TR with a Rifle Basix trigger set at 1.75#. I have also found that I can range and dope for first shot hits on squirrel sized targets out to 200 yards using either of my ballistic RF’s( Gunwerks G7, Sig 2400). The key is to program an accurate velocity and BC for the given load. The limiting factor for the longer range shots, as usual with a rimfire,is getting a viable wind read.
