What is a good and cheap gun for target shooting 100-200 yards?

Good and cheap are sometimes mutually exclusive of each other. .22 rimfires rifles are relatively cheap, and can be very accurate, but not at 200 yards. They do best at 50 yards, and drop sharply after 100 yards. Some of the .17 Rimfires stretch that to about 150 yards. I would look at the Savage rifles, in calibers such as .243 and .308. They are relatively inexpensive, and pretty accurate rifles. You may also check on some of the military surplus rifles. While some can be very pricey, there are still good rifles such as the Swiss K-31, the Mauser 98s and the Moisin- Nagants that are affordable, and can be very accurate. Foregoing is only one opinion- ask 10 gun buffs, you will get at least 12 answers.

Can a M-16 hit a target at 300 yards?
The M16 is capable generally of 1 1/2 inch shot groups at 100 yards. Some of them will shoot 1 inch groups at 100 yards. So at 300 yards, you should be able to hit a 3 inch to a 4 1/2 inch size target. Ammo, gun, and shooter are all a part of making this determination
How many yards is 50 yards?
Yards and yards are the same measurement. Therefore, 50 yards is equal to 50 yards.
What is 19 yards equal in yards?
Yards and yards are the same measurement. Therefore, 19 yards is equal to 19 yards.
How many yards are there in 3 yards?
Yards and yards are the same length, so there are three (3) yards in three (3) yards
How many yards or in Y yards?
Y yards = Y yards
What is the best rifle for target shooting up to 100 yards?
No way to answer. Any target rifle could fill the bill.
What is the distance that the target will be missed if you use a twelve gauge shotgun sighted in at one hundred yards the target is fifteen feet down and thirty five to forty yards away?
hard to tell if you were shooting it, I would not miss!
How far is the target placed at a pistol shooting range?
Can vary from 7 to 15 to 25 to 50 to 100 yards or more.
What is the effective range of a caliber 45 handgun?
With familiarity and training, the effective range for a .45 handgun could be 75 yards, or greater for a man-sized target. Typically, pistol shooting ranges have targets set at 5, 7, 10, 14 and 25 yards.
How long is a archery field for the olympic games?
110 yards. The Olympic shooting distance is 70mtr for both men and Women. The furthest distance shot in "Target Archery" for men is 100 yards and 80 yards for ladies, the metric distances are 90mtrs for men and 70 mtrs for ladies. Shooting 70mtrs for the Olympics was introduced to try and make it more of a spectator sport and archers shoot head-to-head one arrow at a time (total 18), winner goes through to the next round.
What is the maximum range (in meters) of the M16 Rifle?
The maximum range of the M16 rifle is 3,534 meters. The maximum effective range of the M16 rifle (point target) is 550 meters, which is about 600 yards, and around 800 meters (area target), which is around 875 yards. Point target is you aiming directly at your target (accounting for windage and elevation as necessary). Area target is basically you shooting at a range beyond that where you can aim directly for your target, but there is still a chance the round will hit. Of course, the actual effective range also depends on the user's marksmanship.

What is the shooting range of a handgun?
It depends on the handgun. Some are not good for much beyond arm's length. Of the pistols I have fired, the one with the longest range was a Smith & Wesson .38 revolver. Can't remember the model, but it was accurate to at least 200 yards, very good for a handgun. I have seen target pistols with adjustable sights which can certainly do better, but some of these are practical for nothing except target shooting. For an automatic handgun, 60 to 100 yards is probably the maximum practical range in the hands of someone who is skilled with it.
What is the effective range of an air rifle?
Air rifles ranges vary depending on they're caliber, power, power plant and the pellet being used. It also depends on your application, The hunting range of an airgun is usually less than the target range. For a .177 caliber air rifle shooting at 1000 fps your maximum hunting range is probably about 40 yards. Your target range is probably about 100 yards max, since you don't need the power to take down the game at that range. For a .22 caliber air rifle shooting about 800- 1000 (with a 14.3 grain pellet) Your hunting range is more based on your gun's accuracy, than it is power. I would say the max is about 75 yards. Target could be about 130 yards or more. For a big bore, your range is usually about 100 yards or more depending on the game.
How do you sight in a 17 HMR?
The .17 HMR is a very flat shooting cartridge. To sight your rifle in place a target (paper plate will work) up at 25 yards. Start with a steady rest on a solid table or bench and shoot at the paper plate to see where the bullet is impacting on the target. Move your sights until the bullets hit in the middle of the paper plate. Once this is done your rifle will be sighted in at 25 yards. Next, move your target to the distance where you feel you will be shooting most often and see where the bullets impact at that distance. Move the sights, if you need to, until they impact in the middle of the paper plate.
How much does a 350 fps bb gun fall at 100 yards?
Truthfully. a 350 FPS air gun or rifle like the Daisy Red Ryder ( It fires at 350 FPS) will not reach 100 yards. It's maximum range is just short of 10 yards. Most competition shooting for a 350 FPS air gun is 5 yards. So at 100 yards it would fall to the ground short of the target.
What is the maximum effective range of a 338 Winchester magnum?
That depends on many factors including accuracy of the rifle, wind, ballistic coefficient of the bullet, the tenacity of your target, and most importantly, the knowledge, shooting position, and ability of the shooter. If all of these factors are in line, the range is well over 1000 yards. However, one or more of these factors is usually not optimal. First, the accuracy of the rifle. If the rifle shoots 1" groups at 100 yards, that would be 5" groups at 500 yards and 10" groups at 1000 yards. So even if you aim perfectly, you could hit 5" away. If your gun shoots 2" at 100 yards, that's a 20" group at 1000 yards. A 20" circle is bigger than most animals vitals. Not a humane shot. Second is wind. A 10 mph side wind can push a bullet about 5 feet off line from where you aimed at 1000 yards, and that's assuming the wind is consistent. 20 mph wind is double that, and so on. The wind where you are and the wind at your target may be different, not to mention gusts. Third is the ballistic coefficient (BC). This is how aerodynamic your bullet is. BC doesn't make much of a difference out to a couple of hundred yards, but past that it makes a big difference. Fourth, is the tenacity of the target. If your shooting an elk you need a lot of power at whatever range you hit him (most people say 1500 lbs of energy) to kill effectively and humanely. If you're shooting a deer, half that energy is fine. If you're shooting a target, it obviously doesn't take much power to get through paper. The fifth and most important factor is the knowledge and skill of the shooter. Put a target the size of the animal's vitals at 100 yards. If you can hit it consistently, good. Move it to 200 yards. If you can hit it consistently (probably 80-90% of the time) from a realistic shooting position, good. Keep moving it until you can't hit the target 80-90% of the time, that's when you've past your maximum range. Don't risk wounding an animal past that.
