Itskeith Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone shooting F-Class and / or Benchrest 600 / 1000 yds also has a .22LR ‘Trainer’ in the same stock as their centrefire rifle? Any thoughts of any ‘cross training benefits’ (or not) would be much appreciated. Many thanks. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 To be honest, for benchrest, I think you would be better dry firing with your actual rifle set up on a bench. F Class? Really more about wind reading. Can't see how a rimfire would help here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcampbellsmith Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 I shoot FCSB with my CZ 457 MTR .22LR. On the firing point, I see a lot of the Kung Foo Pandas shooting their .22s very well. Obviously their main game is FTR, but I'm sure their wind reading skills are benefiting from shooting .22. Certainly they shoot very well at both disciplines. I'm a firm believer in trigger time and range time. In an ideal world I would shoot every day. Regards JCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserttech Europe Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 Thank you for the kind words, as the Gun Fu Pandas Captain we believe that .22lr is very beneficial to our training in both wind reading and crucially range trigger time. I would recommend a "trainer rifle" as close to your full bore rifle as possible. Ewen🐼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itskeith Posted July 3 Author Report Share Posted July 3 Thanks everyone and much appreciated. Very likely to be getting a .22LR for CNTSA 25 yd / UKBRA 100 yd, and 6mmBR for 600 yds, so plenty of food for thought (both ways). Cheers.
