Well that is a great question. Barrelled action went to Lilja today for inconsistent velocities. This is very unusual for their barrels. I bought a new firing pin and firing pin spring just to get rid of ignition possibilities...issue continued. Im sure they will make it right.

I love my rimfires. Narrowing it down to just one of them would be tough. Probably my new inbox Marlin 80DL with peep sights. My grandfathers

So I came across a guy local to me that had an Unertl 10x with fine crosshairs and the same frozen parallax adjustment. The actually call it a "Calibrated Head". I put the objective over my floor heater vent to help loosen it. I got it freed in about 30 minutes and cleaned up. Best part is I...

Sure wish someone would make a 40moa. I dont understand why they dont

Looks good. I "borrowed" the MPA off my Tikka T3 .223 and was bummed when I new I had to make modifications. Not worth it for a chassis meant for the other gun.

I use a G1 BC of .16. I believe bullet length only matters for spin drift so....yeah I basically ignore accuracy here. I always use a length of .25"

I prefer the best grouping ammo with the smallest SD when chrono'd. Thankfully my locally gun store carries a good selection of match ammo and typically, not always, has more than one lot. I buy a couple boxes of each and then pick the best one. He will then sell me a case of that one.

Nice build. I've owned a couple quads and currently have one with a Lilja barrel and Manners stock, US Optics 20moa rail that was drilled and tapped for better mounting that other rails that use the factory rail to attach

You'll find that the majority of guys are zeroing at 50yds. While the 25/50 are close I tend to be able to get out further when zerod at 50. If you shoot competition there tend to be more targets at 50 than 25.

Just like Kissofdeath posted, my Tikka T1x also likes most ammo. When I bought I tried several brands and weight bullets. Ive found that the Hornady 17gr vmax are the most reliable at feeding and group size. The 20gr were also good shooters but would occasionally not feed 100%

The best bulk ammo for me has always been Federal Automatch

I shoot a TacSol Axiom and find that if I wait longer than 500 rounds or so it's a nightmare to clean. Ill have to try the motor oil trick. Cant hurt

They've done that in the past as well. Great company that has supported shooters and precision competitions for a long time.

Juggerxx - That would be great if you could measure it for me. I'd really appreciate it. Which bullets and velocities are your hand loads? I'm just about to send it off to get the firing pin hole bushed and taken down to a small firing pin size. I hate to do that on a brand new rifle.

Just support the guys who actually designed them. They're great people to work with and the cost is very reasonable. https://www.shortactionprecision.com/products/sap-two-round-holder
