Yeah, OK. The fact still remains that you did not shoot a 1/2" group at 200 yards with that gun/ammo. Your just ticked that people are calling you on a blatant lie.

I routinely work the 200 yard rimfire competitions at our local club. I have personally witnessed 2 sub inch groups at that distance. They were not 1/2", but closer to 3/4", and were fired with match rifles, with match chambers, shooting match ammo. And out of all the matches I have worked, it has only happened twice. Ammo variances alone would insure a much larger group at that distance.

idk how much drop i had because it was a scope that had elevation set to 300 which shoots deadon at50yds and at 150 yds it was 650 at dead on. i guess it might drop like sumwhere around 16-22 inches if sighted at 50
So I guess I'm still confused. How are you hitting the bullseye at 300 yards and be dead on a 50 yards when there is around 20" of drop! If you're trying to tell us that you're holding over the bullseye about 20" and putting a group like that in the bullseye, then you're blowing smoke for sure. The rifle can't be zero'd for 50 yards and also at 300 yards at the same time.And that scope doesn't allow for adjustments for different yardages, without being sighted in for each yardage.
Something is really not adding up.

no, the number 300 and 650 are elevatino settings. if u get hte right rifle for it. 300 will shot 300yards and 650 will shoot 650yards. at 300 i hit center at 50. but at 650 the elevations scope lense went higher and makes it aim higher so i can hit 150yds.

OK colorado, sure, the numbers are eleveation settings...for the right rifle. Only thing is, that I have never heard of a company making a BDC, (you do know what that stands for right) for a .22 Cal. Generally, those "elevation Settings" are for common tactical rilfe calibers, and a few common huning calibers.
You are trying to BS the wrong group here. MY LIFE DEPENDS ON KNOWING THIS STUFF. THIS IS WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING.Read my previous post.
I have to agree with longrifle1000 on your counting. I count 8 holes in the middle of your target too.What about the 2 flyers above that. and the onething that looks like another flier out to theleft. I mean sure, I could get a 1/4 inch group out of that too, IF I TOOK THE 2-3 ROUNDS CLOSEST TOGETHER. I COUNT A TOTAL OF AT LEAST 10 HOLES IN THAT TARGET. COUNT YOUR GROUP FOR THE WHOLE 10, AND NOT JUST THE 3 CLOSEST IN THE MIDDLE. And your whole hot barrel, cold barrel arguement. you have to shoot ALOT of .22 to heat up a barrel to make a difference. when I say ALOT. I am talking about a couple hundred rounds, to make that barrel hot to touch, and even then, that should really only affect up and down the most. Your group, indicates that you have trouble with your trigger squeeze. You jerk the trigger a little. Up and down, is breath control, left and right is generally trigger jerk.

1/2 inch at 200 yds and a .22 Caliber.....YEAH RIGHT.

I'm not only throwing the bullchit flag, I'm also waving the bullchit banner!

Not possible with a 22 long rifle.
