Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

If you’re referring to mine, I have damn near Vudoo/rim-x money in it without the accuracy 🤦‍♂️😂.

It’s a great shooting rifle, but if I’d known how far down the rabbit hole I was going, I would have just started with a Vudoo.

The barrel was the biggest waste of all (lw barrel). The factory barrel would stay in the .4’s with center x and Eley team and occasionally dip me down into in .2’s. The LW barrel shots a wider variety about the same but it didn’t tighten up with premium ammo at all really, just looks better.
Preach, brother! Started with a CZ457 and then got a Bergara B14R... The Vudoo should be here in a month! 🤦‍♂️ :LOL:

How you like that Vortex Venom? I just got one, but waiting on 34mm rings to be shipped.
Its good for the price. Holds zero and seems to track fine. Zoom and paralax knobs are pretty stiff. Glass is acceptable for a $500 scope but doens't compare with my $2k scopes (nor should it). I really like that the paralax goes down to 15 yards and there's 25 MRAD of elevation adjustment. With the 40 moa rail I'm zeroed with about 3 - 4 mils of adjustment below zero so no need for a zero stop and have about 20 mils of up adjustment.

This is my Joe Chacon customized 10/22 build just recently completed. Couldn’t be happier with this rifle now, can’t wait to take it outdoors soon when this crappy NE Ohio weather finally breaks. Joe put on one of his Shilen 4 groove, ratchet rifled 22” barrels along with his tuner and also went over all the magazines (polished and springs wound ). I was only able to break it in indoors at 25yds today but it shows great promise and I’m happy with it.

Bergara B14R arrived this week and today was my first outing with it.

Sitting in an XLR Element Gen1 chassis, 20 MOA Leupold Mount, Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56, Atlas bipod. Right now it is VERY tail heavy even with the bipod all the way out front, so I’ll have to work out adding some weight to the front end.

I grabbed 9 random rounds (SK Standard+) to warm up the barrel and sight it. The gun already exceeds my expectations - All nine shots of my very first shots at 50 yards were remarkably close. No cold bore flier.

I confess I struggled a bit getting comfortable behind this new gun - I haven’t yet worked out the right mix of bipod and rear bag and I felt I was having to “push” the gun a lot.

The Bergara trigger without the adjustment screw is at 2.25 lbs and since that’s where all my other triggers are I’m going to leave it alone for a while. Having said that, I’ve got a spare Bergara trigger that I’ve already tapped for new adjustment screws and expect I can get down to a very sensitive trigger if I so desire.

First 80 rounds of SK Standard+ and no mag, feeding, or ejection issues whatsoever.

Could you elaborate on that?

See posts 76, 79 & 81 by AirGunShawn in particular though there may be more after that (whole thread is full of fixes to other issues I just don't have! - yet?). It seems I also found it in another of the several SH "My Bergara has problems" rimfire threads but can't remember which one(s). I know there's another post by AirGunShawn somewhere - can 't find it off the cuff - that goes into even more detail. I suppose a search for posts by him in the Rimfire threads will turn it up pretty quickly. Ultimately my hat is off to Shawn for all his posts on this subject!

Same basic info in two stickies at the top of the Bergara threads over at RimfireCentral.com . Apparently the both the BMR and B14 series use the same trigger.

I don't want to hijack a picture thread (enough guys do that on the Motivational Pic thread already!) so I'll send you a PM with my experience. And maybe add to that original thread too. All good!

Finally wrapped up the Savage MKII FV-SR project. After try a few different scopes, I finally settled on the Vortex Venom 5-25X56. This is a fun little rifle to shoot and seems pretty accurate. I'm mainly shooting steel with it for now. I've been shooting a 1 inch gong at 50 yrds, 2 inch gong at 75 yrds and a 3 inch gong at 100 yrds and getting hits pretty much every shot. Haven't really measured any groups on paper yet. I've been shooting CCI SV exclusively with a few issues with extraction, but the rifle was a bit dirty when those issues occurred.

Listed below is the parts list for the rifle:
SAVAGE MKII FV-SR
VORTEX VENON 5-25X56 MRAD
VORTEX PRECISION MATCHED 34MM SCOPE RINGS 1 INCH
BOYDS PRO VARMINT STOCK

Kidd super grade. PDC custom chassis. Athlon Cronus BTR Gen 2. Between the 20 MOA in the rail and 20 MOA in the mount, I should have around 95 MOA of elevation to dial once I get my 50 yard zero set this week.

Wasn't looking for a rifle, but seen this Ruger 10/22 LVT model at my LGS and couldn't pass it up. The classic wood stock and heavy varmint style threaded barrel sold me on it. I wasn't aware that Ruger produced the rifle, but later found out that it's a TALO exclusive. I still want to build a 10/22 similar to a KIDD with a more tactical appearance. This thing shot very well right out of the box, even with that cheap Athlon scope on it.

I've heard good things about the LVT, and Ruger started making them again.

Something about the classic simplicity of the 10/22 and the walnut stock.
The Swiss Army Knife of backyard fun.

I wanted a basic 10/22 to throw most of it away and put a Kidd barrel, Victor Co Titan stock and a few other upgraded parts, but I think I'll leave this alone and put a Victor Co cheek riser on it and a better scope and call it a day. The trigger on this thing is pretty heavy, that would be a good upgrade as well. It does shoot pretty well.
