What kind of rimfire pistols are suitable for bullseye?
The rules for bullseye require the rimfire pistol to be of .22 caliber, have a trigger pull of no less than 2 pounds, and a sight radius of no more than 10 inches. In practice, the shooter wants a pistol that balances well, has a smooth trigger pull, and will shoot a 10-shot group of 3″ or less at 50 yards. There are several .22 caliber pistols available that meet the basic criteria for bullseye. The first group listed below are some of the lower-priced pistols that are popular with bullseye shooters. They have retail prices from about $300 to $600 and make fine bullseye guns with little or no modification. It’s difficult to pick out one of these guns as the one choice for everybody; each gun has its strengths and weaknesses. The best advice is to shoot as many of them as you can and buy the one you like best.
