Your PVA prefit experience

I'm 100% sure I'm overly fixated on it. However, I just threw some variables into Hornady 4DOF assuming a 25 yard zero just to see how much the change at 100 yards would be in an extreme situation.

143gr ELD-X at 2600 fps MV
0 ft elevation
10% humidity
10 degrees fahrenheit

143gr ELD-X at 2700 fps MV (added 100 fps)
10,000 ft elevation
80% humidity
80 degrees fahrenheit

The difference was 0.04 at 100 yards. So I think a 0.3 MRAD shift is quite large unless there's a variable I'm forgetting ballistics-wise or my system of trying to simulate environmental effects on a 100 yard zero is unsound, which is possible.

Can only tell you my actual experiences in changing lots of variables, locations and travel. Rezero and move on. Don’t stress it. 100ft/lbs is not needed but if it makes you feel better than do it. You will most likely still see a small shift but if you have it at 100 you know that’s not it.

Semi custom or full custom bolt gun?

Have you had any problems with the non integrated recoil lug? The price point is very attractive, and it beats the hell out of buying a full tikka rifle just to have to spin off the brand new barrel and get the bolt face machined out to a PPC bolt face(would have to get a 223 bold face to make it work)

Don’t get a mini action for the ARC. Period. No reason.

There is no problem with the pinned recoil lug on the Origin. Once the barrel is on you will never notice it.

Only thing I would change with the original recommendation is get a PVA Osprey instead of the Proof. You can get it whatever length and contour you want. I got mine with flutes. Pic below of my 26” 6ARC. I have changed the scope and chassis since then but gives you an idea.

I don't know if you have a bronze brush. If you do, see if you can brush out the transition (end of case area). If not, you are going to need a lot of Boretech Cu2+ applications to remove that ammount of copper.

Doesn’t look like much of a carbon ring, if any, but you can see a lot of copper at the edge that will just get worse the more you try to chamber a cartridge.

If you can get ahold of the reamer drawing from the previous owner, I think that you will find that the freebore is very close to bullet diameter. I suspect that any secant ogive bullet with a long bearing surface, loaded long, will be scratched by that transition.

That's pretty much what's going on. I think I need to just run a reamer in there to open it up to saami spec, and I think the issue will go away.

Horizon 22CM - Vandal X, Vandal Prime, Villain

I have a vandal X. I have had it a while I got it not long after they came out. I have tried probably a dozen different load combinations with it and pretty much all shoot under 1” @ 100 yards but nothing I have tried gets below 1/2”. Of my ten or so high end rifles it is the only one I haven’t been able to get groups below 1/2” out of. Does that mean it is horrible? No, but it is frustrating.

Yeah, that would be extremely frustrating. Thanks for the reply

Hi is there any local competitions in the Forth Worth, Tx area for a beginner?

R
I have been shooting for years but now I would like to have fun doing something different. I have never done anything except normal range stuff and hunting. I am older now lol and I just want something simple to do if possible. Only real issue I think would be my work schedule. I work Wednesday through Saturday. I get up early and go to bed early too, on the work days. Is there something I can do with this crazy schedule, if possible?
