Tips for shooting the .22 No.08 Cadet Rife.?

Marksmanship isn't just about "tips".

A person needs to devote themselves to learning & properly practicing the fundamentals of rifle shooting.

While the basic lessons seem simple enough to understand with a few hours of instruction, gaining true mastery can elude someone for their entire lifetime. Don't be discouraged. It's a journey that's worth every patient effort and one that requires a lot of "hands on" experience.

 I'm going to give you several links to more information to get you started. Some of it may translate directly while some of it will have to be adapted to your situation.

A Rifleman will know how to use the bone structure of their body to support the rifle in several shooting positions. They will also know how to practice "breathing control" and to properly squeeze the rifle trigger. They'll know a lot of other things too, but the links I provided discuss it in greater detail.

P.S. The No. 08 .22 caliber training rifle should be capable of shooting better groups. I would expect it to be capable of shooting groups of 3/4 of an inch or smaller at 25 yards.

Legal Pistols for UK

We just wanted to show our fellow shooters & Firearms Enthusiasts overseas what is still actually legal in the United Kingdom in terms of Pistols, since we are the Rimfire Blog we will only be showcasing some in .22LR Calibre.

As you can see in the below images, the Pistols have to have an extended barrel (yes, they are not suppressors / moderators) and also a horrible extention connected to the grip thereby extending the length even further!

These are the Pro TSC 1911 .22LR pistols Made in Germany...

Going for around £800 or less, I for one find the pricing and the fact that you still have to (by law) have the ridiculous extentions added on, just makes this too sad to comply with, I'd rather keep shooting rifles, you can pick up a decent brand new .22LR for as low as £175 even in Semi Auto.

Handguns including small calibre such as .22LR were outlawed in 1997 following the 1996 Dunblane Massacre.

Last year there was a petition to reclassify .22LR pistols as Section 1 FAC licences which failed to get enough votes by the public (only 13,000 of the 100,000 needed) It would be a good idea to say that a person wanting a .22LR pistol should have already owned or currently own a .22LR, .22WMR or .17HMR Rifle and  have been shooting for no shorter than a year.
