Frequently Asked Questions

What material is Action Target's new Rimfire line made from?

Action Target's new Rimfire line of steel targets is constructed from 1/4 inch AR500 steel. This material is known for its durability and resistance to bullet impacts, making it suitable for repeated shooting sessions with rimfire ammunition.

What is the advantage of Action Target's Rimfire Plate Rack mechanism?

The Rimfire Plate Rack's mechanism is specifically engineered for the lower velocities of .22LR ammunition. This design prevents sympathetic knockdown, ensuring that when one plate is hit, adjacent plates do not fall unintentionally, providing a more reliable shooting experience.

Can I use Action Target's rimfire targets with centerfire ammunition?

While the AR500 steel plates themselves can withstand standard centerfire rounds, the mechanisms of the rimfire targets are designed for .22LR velocities. Shooting centerfire cartridges like 9mm or .40 S&W through these mechanisms can lead to sympathetic knockdown or excessive twisting due to higher energy.

Are the plates on Action Target's rimfire dueling trees interchangeable?

Yes, the plates on Action Target's rimfire dueling trees are interchangeable. This allows users to swap them between different target configurations or replace them if needed. The pivot rings where the plates connect are also armored steel for longevity.
