Minisniping started as a game for air rifles, but there's no reason you can't do it with rimfires, or even centerfire rifles. The way it's done in the article, you sit a 9mm shell casing on a lump of clay 35 yards out from your shooting bench, and pick them off with your adult airgun of choice.
The price of ammo has gone up a lot since 1984, when the article was printed in Guns & Ammo, and even 9mm brass gets sold, so I wouldn't use 9mm brass, but you may be able to come up with steel 9x18 casings or something else entirely to use as targets.
Many of the newer centerfire rifles will shoot 1 inch groups at a hundred yards. Try putting some low-brass 12 gauge shells out, and try picking those off.
Maybe something like the Rimfire Tactical Precision Match is more your cup of tea. Put some steel targets out far enough for it to be a real challenge. Make up some terrorist/hostage targets (if your range rules allow). There are some more fun targets on the 6mmBR website to play with.
It summer, get out there and shoot. Make it fun. Dust off your imagination.

My adventures in guns & gear, reloading, competition, and RKBA stuff.

Purpose
I realized that I had a collection of reviews, and just maybe some wisdom to share. I hope to keep the information as unbiased as humanly possible.
Why do I bother writing all this stuff? When I buy something, I want it to work the way I want it to. I hope that what goes around, comes around, and that I'll find the reviews or advice that I need when I go looking for information.
The items reviewed on the blog are, almost without exception, purchased or rented by myself, with real money.
I am also kind of hoping that maybe someone in the right position may see some glimmer of genious in my ramblings, and help get me a paying gig at a gun magazine or website.
I hope that some of this nonsense in the blog is helpful to someone.
Don't be afraid to post comments!

About Me
Some of you may wonder what the deal with the nickname is. It’s short for Suburban Commando, a nick I picked up in high school. A few companions that were a little left of center though it was quite funny, I accepted it out of spite.
In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a bit of a Glocker. I really can’t have nice things, so the basic black pistols work just fine for me.
I’ve also shot rimfire benchrest. I even managed to win a local match. My best score to date was shot with a completely rebuilt Ruger 10/22 with a KID trigger and barrel, although my Remington 40XRBR is more consistant.

Nice!
Great way to "aim small, miss small"
22lr cases abound, and are smaller yet.
