McQueens and TR scoring ring sizes?

I want to scale down various fullbore target sizes to work with shorter range rimfire shooting at my rifle club.
I've almost finished a mini McQueens machine which will need targetry for 25 & 50m but am interested in target sizes more generally if anyone has a list please?

Exactly what I was after, thank you. :)
A 4" V Bull and 6" Bull at 300 yards, for the McQueens target, equates to 2/3" and 1" respectively at 50 yards.
Should be perfectly doable with a good .22.

Very doable at 50 yards if you know your rifle.

No sir, better than a sako fin fire IMHO.
A Mauser 201. Not many about in as good nick as this one, locks up at the front like a centre fire which is quite rare for a rimfire.
I just need to adjust the trigger which is a bit heavy at around 4-5 lbs from feel, hopefully that will help me avoid making the outliers in the groups...

Ah! I shot a 201 earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. A classy rifle :)

They are lovely things, I have one in WMR as well as this one.
The stock on them is as substantial as a centrefire, the trigger is excellent for a sporting rifle and the barrel seems very good indeed.
I don't think I can bring myself to get this one screw cut and so will probably be looking for another .22 in due course.
Those groups were shot at 50 m and in every case where the group isn't a ragged hole I felt I pulled the shot, can't wait to take it out to 100m but I was so impressed with it that I stuck the Zeiss victory 6-24x56 from my 243 on it to test th accuracy
