Interesting, this may be the only rimfire in the shoot that is not a .22. Do you still have or can you find find ammo for it?
I'm glad to see that the USPS "Priority mail" is holding true to their claim of 2-3 day delivery, at least for some of you.
The Winchester Model 320 could shoot .22 short, long and long rifle. This match is making me relive a lot of .22 shooting with the Boy Scouts. I wish I knew the names of the rifles I shot back then.
1> rimfire standing, 10 shots, 10 minutes
2> rimfire sitting, 10 shots, 10 minutes
3> rimfire prone, 10 shots, 10 minutes
4> centerfire standing, 10 shots, 10 minutes
5> centerfire sitting, 10 shots, 10 minutes
6> centerfire prone, 10 shots, 10 minutes
Also, as to restriction:
No spotting while shooting for score- means no optics of any kind; telescopes, binoculars, monoculars, etc.
No bipods, supports, or rests of any kind. In prone your rifle may not be touching the ground.
You may kneel instead of sit for the sitting stages if you wish.
You may shoot these 6 targets in any order you wish.
You have unlimited time between targets.
On each complete target (lower left) include the following information:
1> Rifle/caliber/ammo
2> position (standing, sitting, or prone)
3> score (include a count of 10s, 9s, 8s, 7s, 6s, 5s, and M-misses) I'll render final scores, just help me out here.
4> Freeper Name
When complete return all targets to me using the same service, USPS priority mail. A final return postmark date will be set when everyone has recieved their targets.
Anything I forgot? Don't shoot your eye out!
As Shooter2.5 noted, the Model 320 is indeed a .22 rimfire. I believe that there was also a Model 325 in .22 Magnum, but I've never seen one. I had no idea that the thing was made Down Under (by Omark of Australia) until recently when I saw it mentioned in a thread on the ShootersTalk rimfire forum.
The 320 was my first .22 - the one my Dad took me to the oldest (and now long gone) gun shop in town to "select". Of course, he had already selected that rifle and arranged for the owner to say "I have *just* the rifle for you..." as he lifted the long blue and white box (with the red Winchester logo) from where it was concealed behind the counter (Thanks once again, Dad!). We lived on the outer edge of suburbia, so after I discovered CB Caps, that rifle accounted for many rabbits and squirrels. It's been years since I used the iron sights, though. :-) As for other rimfire cartridges, there was a short-lived Remington 5mm Rimfire. The owners of the bolt-action rifles so chambered have taken to modifying the bolt to fire a tiny centerfire round called the 5mm Craig. Hopefully, the new .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire will fare better. It's already been nicknamed the ".17 Hummer" - I take that as a positive sign. :^)
