Rimfire on Steel

Post by KAZ » Sun Jul 12, 2009 10:44 am

Anyone who has shot any steel targets is usually still smiling when they remember doing so. This is the best one I've found, it is 11.5"X7" with a center 1 5/8" hole with a flapper that flies up when hit,then resets. There is also a flapper beside the head that will go to the other side when hit. There is a sturdy steel stand that uses 1/2X2" supplied and cut by you to however high you want your target to be. A great plinking target, but also fun to move out to 100 yards 8)

That is a nice target style. AR500 plate? Is it commercial or home made?

That looks like a fun target, I may need one of those.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

Bullseye, it is made by LV Steel Targets (www.lvsteeltargets.com), and is not AR500 and is only for 22 rimfire. I do have one of his AR500 targets that my 308 doesn't harm. He sticks this little rimfire target with stand in one of those post office flat rate boxes($14 for shipping).
bearandoldman, I thought about you when I decided to get this one. We could give it quite a workout Huh? Very well thought out steel. Give Petey some relief :P

Two guys with pumps and lever guns, man could we go through the ammo. A can of spray paint to retouch the target while we are reloading would be good also. My 10/22 with a high cap mag, but they never really wok as good as the factory mags.
