"Circles of Death" .22 Rifle Drill by Nutnfancy
You can have an amazing amount of fun at your indoor or outdoor range with your .22 rifle. Welcome to the Nutnfancy "Circles of Death" .22 (or airgun) Drill or COD. A computer generated sheet with precise 3/8" circles, stacked in neat rows, provide the target. Plan on using a good scope, preferably one that focus down to close ranges for maximum accuracy (Weaver RV9 shown, recommended still). If you have two shooting lanes then two shooters can compete against each other as shown in a elevated stress rapid fire drill where accuracy will win the day. My favorite gun in these drills is the .22 bolt action rifle. The Marlin 925 is one of the best in the world I think: ultra smooth, fast, holds 10 rounds (with the Marlin 10 rd mag purchased separately), has a great trigger (T900), is amazingly accurate with its Micro Groove rifling (really works), lightweight, has a perfect barrel profile, and is extremely affordable. In this vid, this quintessential and personal favorite .22 bolt gun goes up against the also excellent CZ 452 "American." The quality levels in terms of finish in the 452 are higher: gorgeous walnut stock with sharp checkering and an amazing bluing job. It also has a great trigger and top notch accuracy. However in this drill its bolt manipulation is a distant second when binding is encountered and a special techinque is needed to achieve the faster speeds of the Marlin 925. Polishing the bolt and components may help slick it up (however that shouldn't be needed on a gun of this price!). Also its bolt-mounted safety with intuitively opposite motion is non-preferred. Surprising to some perhaps, the Marlin 925 emerges as the favorite gun in the COD Drill! Fun times ensue with the guns and the shooters are PFIDude, Terry G from Impact Guns, and Nutnfancy. Thanks to Impactguns.com for hosting the fun event! ///////////////// Nutnfancy Likability Scales: Marlin 925 as shown: 10 out of 10; CZ 452 as shown: 7 out of 10
