    Stock Ruger 10/22 for competition...

    I guess it depends on the type of match you're talking about and what the classes are. In ABRA (auto benchrest association) there's a factory class that requires that the action, bolt, stock, barrel (0.849" muzzle dia. or less) and trigger all have to be factory. Trigger work is allowed, but...

    Another new feature in Strelok Pro!

    Emailed Igor about it and he found the issue and got it fixed with the last update.

    Another new feature in Strelok Pro!

    Anyone having issues with the latest version (5.07) of Strelok Pro on their iPhone? For whatever reason, after the update when I try to go into the G1 or G7 bullet menu and try to select the bullet brand or caliber it crashes the app. Does the same thing when I go into the factory ammo menu...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    Got my 25# spring in the mail today and installed it. Bolt lift is a bit heavier, but I can still lift it with one finger - though it takes noticeably more effort. Not as stiff as a factory Savage bolt lift, but not near as light as the lift on a properly trued & timed Savage. If you're one...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    In this first pic the shroud is screwed all the way in until it bottoms out on the bolt sleeve. Notice the slot for the plunger pin, and that there's no hole in the shroud there for said plunger pin. Now in this pic I have backed the shroud off to align the plunger pin hole with the plunger...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    When you have the screw/washer in the back of the bolt to compress the FP spring for disassembly/reassembly, we're talking about where the shrouds ends up when screwed all the way in until it stops.

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    Update... First, I got an email from ARC yesterday and they are sending me out the 25# spring. Might go ahead and buy a 19 and 22# just to have on hand to experiment since they're inexpensive and I have a feeling the 25# is going to make the bolt lift worse than that of a Savage. Second...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    So just got back from my smith's and got a little education. The formula he uses is one he and Jerry Stiller came up with about 12-15 years ago to ensure sufficient FP energy for reliable ignition with most any primer. The formula is quite simple in that you take the spring rate in pounds and...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    The 0.183" number might be incorrect as I was going from memory of what my 'smith said 6-months ago. If I measure off the back face of the firing pin (where you would screw in the hex bolt to compress the spring) to the rear face of the bolt shroud I get the following: Dropped (fired) = 0.312"...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    I think what happened here was that Ted was more concerned with a light bolt lift than anything else. In his video going over the action in detail he even talks about being on the fence on what weight firing spring they will come with and notes that he was leaning towards the lighter one to...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    Update... Disassembled and thoroughly cleaned the bolt assembly Checked FP protrusion and distance to castle nut - both spot on Took it back to the range this afternoon and I'm still getting light strikes. First round I tried ignited on the second try (fourth if you count the two attempts from...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    Finally got it out to the range yesterday for the first time with my Nucleus build only to be greeted by light primer strikes. Of the 10 rounds I tried only 3 fired. Running CCI 450 primers with a TT Special trigger. Checking the three fired cases the shoulder was only bumped forward 0.004"...
