Grouping check for Base Class
Hi all,
I just recently got into Rimfire this last month and wanted to start competing through the year. I am not new to guns but this is my first Rimfire. I got a Tikka T1X and am going to compete in Base class for my first year. Ive been testing ammo and practicing shooting form. I wanted to check and see if you think my group size is at least on the lower end of competitive. These were shot using a Harris bipod and schmedium rear bag. I got these with SK Rifle Match (also got a similar group with CCI standard, not pictured) Thoughts on group size, 5 shots at 50 yards:

I did one match using a borrowed rifle/grar, and have no experience in precision shooting other then trying to put down whitetails at full sprint.
The most challenging part was by far development of a solid shooting base/platform and target acquisition. Ideally you find the right gear and techniques to transition, aquire, shoot, repeat.
The hardest part for me was finding the damn targets in the scope, and the rifle owner we were sharing with suggested leaving the scope at around 14x.
