Another thing you must also be commended for is that you shot it with a 12x scope!!!
That is pretty ballsy and hard to do considering most 22lr BR shooters use min24x, usually 32x, 36x or more power scopes.
I know I could hardly see the target with 9x and then is was only marginally better with 12x. Now with 32x on the Rapid it is soo much easier to see things!

Gigitt, I grew up with peep sights and a father who hammered the "recognition of the same sight picture" mantra. This rifle has now shot many many sub inch 100 yards 5 shot groups with its 12X power setting. I do see better with the Bushnell Elite scopes on 16x but never find a need for more power.

What I do need is more experience with a set of those fancy wind indicators like Stuart Elliot makes. My strips of ribbon on fencing wire are simple and tell most but not all the story. the angles can be tricky and that is where the professional indicators shine I guess.........

I just love an accurate rifle, don't you? ... Kind regards, Harry.
