Saw this idea on Rimfire Central a while ago in the Long Range section and thought it would be a bit of fun.

Lousy weather here so went into the shed and scavenged some bits and pieces and welded it together. I need to make the swingers a bit lighter, as you will see in the video they only just move on a couple of hits. Glad I used the gopro as I didn't think I had as many hits. Hit it 4th shot of first 5, missed 5, then last 4 of 5 which are in the video .
Using my CZ452 22LR, Nikon 3-9x40 EFR, CCI SV Target 40gn ammo, 50 m range.

A bit different and should result in plenty of empty brass.

Try the Vartarg at 600+m

Good shooting there

I think the swingers are pretty spot on as they definitely moved and would be likely to move more with high velocity rounds and any centerfire rounds will have no dramas swinging them.

Before Rabbitz gets in...."waste"
Unless you plan on eating your bullets

You are learning quick Keachie

Stolen.

If one has an old block splitter laying around it to could be used

Kickin, I'ld like to see me hit it at 600 too. At least the 22s have a bit of a flatter nose.
There is never any wasted bullets, . Now I can say I am getting twice as many targets for my shots. Well, some of them .

Camel, as I stole the idea ....go for it. Empty some of those 22 packets .

We need photos when it is made

Got most of mine made up today after searching for a couple of hours for the axe head, nearly tripped over the bloody thing in the end, just got to make up the side swingers, got some 150mm x 10mm flat that I was going to cut a couple of bits off this evening, but the bloody phone rang and now I have to go chasing sheepses for the next two or three days. Don't it piss you off when work gets in the way or your fun time.

Great idea.

You can never have too many 22 targets!

Just finished the build side, now to do the decorating

Lookin good Camel. Try and keep the swingers up close to the axe.
