That is what I like about .22's which is what I used for the rifle qualifications.

I don't know if I would have survived the constant kick of a .303 when you consider the number of targets you have to turn in by the time you get that high in the ratings Distinguished rifleman for small caliber rifle had either 6,7,or 8 bars after getting the gold colored chest shield. To my great regret, I can not remember where I put that shield and bars. The NRA maintains a record of my scores, but does not offer that type of chest shield anymore.

I used a light target rifle with leather sling which I have to this day. It is a Mossberg bolt action magazine feed Model 340B with a Mossberg peep sight. Back then, Mossberg used to make rifles.
