IR 50/50 Rimfire Benchrest Match

IR5050 is a benchrest match using scoped .22LR rifles at either 50 meters or 50 yards.  Our match at SLSC is not an officially sanctioned IR5050 match but is similar in rules and requirements.  The targets are placed at 50 yards; there are 25 targets on each score card and all are shot within 30 minutes.  Only one shot per target square is allowed, but sighting shots can be taken as needed. Three strings (one target card per string) are shot per match for a total of 75 shots for record.  This is a "run what you brung" fun match so we do not sort our rifles into classes; everybody shoots in what is essentially the "unlimited" class.  That being said, we do note your rifle make and model so if you manage to out-shoot that guy with a slick custom action using your bone stock 10/22 you'll get special recognition in the match report!

Sanner’s Lake IR5050 Rimfire Benchrest Match Report

May 3, 2026

Beautiful blue skies and bright sunshine were the highlights of the day, while brisk, gusty winds and unusually chilly early May temperatures provided the lowlights.  None of that, however, deterred the full line of eight shooters who came out to compete in the first IR5050 match of 2026 at Sanner’s Lake.

The result was an impressive set of scores despite the wind, as the shooters either powered through with guesstimated wind calls or held off in hopes of a lull which sometimes never came.  Either way, it was excellent practice for less-than-ideal conditions (which happens more often than not these days) and the scores reflected a strong showing across the board.  See all the details below.

The next match will be held on June 7.  Hopefully the winds will die down by then!
