22 cal Slug/lead bullet BC's

I love the idea of the slugs catching up to rimfires, but as you said, we need some actual air rifles that can be consistent. Air rifles might have consistent ammo unlike rimfires, but rimfires have consistent rifles.

Take for example that Skout… I have never seen an air rifle have so many problems just to fill the dang gun and stay filled! Accurate but a pain to deal with. Seems like FX has a few rifles that have excelled in slugs, but their reg issues and wondering POI issues keep them from being consistent enough to actually compete with rimfires too.

It is nice to pull the CZ out with its favorite ammo and know I will have zero issues.

Man what you stated is right on the mark! It's pretty insane no one has built a super stout pcp repeater yet. The potential is already present for pcp's to out do 22rf using current slug designs and as a bonus super low SD too.

I've already mentioned it here on SH but those 25 cal Altaros 60gr are noticeably superior in the wind at longer distances than 22rf standard velocity because of the .245 G1 BC they have. In windier conditions I can stay on the steel with these more whereas not so much with 22rf.
Firearms wise at long range a loose comparison could be like a 223 using 77's/22rf vs a 6mm Dasher using 105's/60gr Altaros slugs.

Overcooked Brass (Annealing question)

No. I was looking for an orange flame but didnt see it. I adjusted my setup for a very slight glow in the neck for 1 second then it drops out.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I will turn up the flame next time so the cycle time is quicker.

I used to do the orange flame. I found that wasn't really a good indicator. It's the color of the neck glowing that's the better measure. :cool:

MPA Rifle rings or one peice scope mount?

That sort of makes sense to me. For myself if I had my scope mounted higher I would also raise my cheekpiece the sane amount and my head position wouldn't change much which is why I find the idea a bit confusing.

The cheek rest goes very low in the new positions. More like a chin/jaw line rest.

Rifle Scopes Top tier scope recommendation

Do you even know what a shill is??

"A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps or gives credibility to a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with said person or organization, or have been paid to do so."

I have zero association with Kahles/Swarovski. They pay me nothing. I do work in the industry. And have had associations with 3 other optical companies, none of which have I ever shilled for.

ETA: I don't even own a Kahles. Nor have I ever. But I will.

Got it...just an unpaid ball gargler who thinks his opinion is the only right one...as if these scopes aren't being compared across the country at every match since they hit the street and and the overall consensus has been yes it's alpha tier but it doesn't just overwhelm the competition....FYI I have one and enjoy it along with zco and tangents. Now go choke the kahles dick deeper and stop tagging me because I I value your opinion or even what you have to say in general at this point as much as the shit I flushed down the toilet while writing this response.

How do US Marine Corps aviators differ from Navy aviators?
They both receive the same initial flight training up until they get their wings. Then the culture diverges a little bit.
You might see a Naval Aviator at the bar sweet-talking some young, good looking, trashy woman. Meanwhile, his Marine Corps counterpart will be worried about his bad breath since Marines aren’t trained to use a toothbrush. So, he might be found in the rest room eating the deodorant cake from the urinal to use as a breath mint.
And once a year the Marine will put on his camo outfit and get together with a bunch of other Marines so they can spend a few days marching in the sun, firing guns, and wallowing in the mud. The odd part is that they seem to enjoy it. Meanwhile the Naval Aviator will be sipping a Mai Tai at poolside while he admires more good-looking women.
But other than those minor differences, they’re much the same.

Rifle Scopes Top tier scope recommendation

JaoeyP said:
I would have agreed with you before doing the K540i/ZCO side by side. I think it's another tier better than ZCO, Tangent, Minox ZP5, and the previous Kahles models. I completely understand that you're doubtful of what I'm saying. Find one out there at a match and do a side by side for yourself. I know that's hard to believe. But think about it like this- you wouldn't think it subjective if I said the K540i looked noticeably better than a lower tier scope. Maybe a Burris XTR III, Gen 2 Razor, or Mark 5. It would make sense. Then isn't it possible that what we accept as top tier optics might some day become second tier? At some point couldn't an optics manufacturer build a product distinguishably better? One that has image quality so good it is better than our current top tier and it's not even remotely subjective? That's the K540i.

Dude just stop. I've literally had them all side but side and myself and many others feel the way I expressed. All hard shilling like this dies is torn people off. Literally none of the alpha scopes just blow the others out of the water. You sound ignorant and no one is going to bother considering your opinion when you are this way. Go hang out in the dnt/arken sections where your approach fits in

Savage AICS DBM choices?

I dont have the bottom in a stock yet. I have a ton of different projects going this summer that are pulling me in 20 different directions. Now that my bandsaw is fixed, I need to pick up a couple of long compression pattern routing bits so I can just pattern out the blank shape with less screwing around.

Here are a few pics of where Im at.

I spent a good deal of time figuring out what the height of the bottom needs to be in relation to the action so it will actually feed as Im building a stock 100% from scratch.

I worked it out so that when the mag is fully inserted and it pressed into its most upward position at can be, it wont jam, but when the mag is hanging in a normal position it still feeds without issue.

Bolt coming in over the top of the mag when fully inserted and Im holding it up.

Bolt face engagement on the round. It feeds 100% no issues.

LRI Pillars cut to height and ready for inlet. Dont mind the angle on the front one. Some idiot did that. Wont effect end result as they are buried in Devcon anyway. The rear pillar has to be cut like that so the bolt release works correctly. Its a Savage thing. I like the pillars, but I dont know if I would use them again on a Savage action.

Ive tested with ARC, Accurate and MDT mags. All work with no issues. I cant stress how important it is to get the mag to action height correct for consistent feeding that never fails. This little exercise took me a few hours to work out to get it where I wanted it.

As far fit with a standard Savage cut bottom end? I dont have a pic of it, but I did set the Atlas next to my old Boyds stock that was setup for Savage mags, and it is very close to fitting. You would have to go in with a file and maybe a Dremel (carefully) and open the hole up a bit to get it to slide in. You would also need to check your bottom to mag to action height to ensure that it will feed reliably. Its easier to sneak up on this, slowly removing material until its perfect, rather than just making a cut and having to fill/shim/fix when you find out the bottom metal is too deep in the stock.

What I'll probably do is get my local shop to inlet the 10fp hs precision so I don't have to worry about it. Space is a bit limited and doing the gunsmithing in my dining room may not be ideal. This is the atlas works correct? The other option would be a ptg correct?
