And bullet placement is what seperates the men from the boys. My point is that confidence and comfort with a rifle go hand-in-hand with bullet placement. If I were a deer, I would be more concerned about this guy hitting me at 75 yards with a rimfire than I would be about the average guy at the shooting range with his "deer rifle".īecause this guy can put the bullet in the "clean kill zone." He knew how to do it, not from shooting competitions or from lots of trial and error but from years of shooting a rimfire. Did I mention this was with open sights? Now this guy no doubt was an excellet shot. These weren't big fat weeds either but more like tall grass. No joke, he would point out the weed and then saw it in half with a little 40 grain bullet. I stood and watched a buddy of mine shoot weeds with a Marlin lever action 22. You can stand there all day and blast tin cans, paper or whatever and the recoil never comes to mind. I contend that the real reason is the low noise level and abscence of recoil. Sure that is a big factor but if we were trying to save money, we wouldn't shoot at all. The number one selling ammunition in the world is 22 rimfire.
