Would be a long way for you to travel, it was a speed plate shoot in the UK.

10 different stages, plates from 1 inch to 4 inches, distances from 7 to 20 metres.

Excellent day :o)

I wonder if large capacity magazines are allowed...

[michaelandrocles]

That would have been cool..:-) but unfortunately the rules were only ten rounds in the magazine at once but as many mags as you wanted, hence the frantic reloading!

[mtlh05]

How about 1 in the chamber? So after you shoot 10 rounds, pop in another mag and you don't have to rack the action to add another round.

[michaelandrocles]

Afraid not, they will only let you use 10 at any one time.

But tried that once before on a speed steel shoot kept loading another mag and racking the action, therefore loosing a live round... Doh!

You got to remember to count your shots as well as everything else... :-(

Ruger 10/22?

[michaelandrocles]

Yep, with a Volquartson trigger unit, a lightweight barrel & a Fagen thumbhole stock.

WOW they let you shoot in the UK? I was thinking it would be faster to shoot 9 and just do a mag change, but this fellow is charging the gun as he mounts it very quickly after shooting it empty.

Do you think the best magazines are the factory Ruger mags? Thanks!

I could walk to Alaska swim across the Bearing Sea and then Walk from Asia to France. Then it would be a just a short swim to across the Channel. It would be a very pleasent and scenic stroll from here. LOL!

Where was that shoot held? It looks like fun. I live in central Oregon.
