Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

With my Vudoo, I don't "need" to shoot it at less than 25 yards, (min parallax for the Cronus), but in a match that has thrown in 15 yard off hand 1/2" swinging targets, being able to see the target(s) clear might have helped. Bad enough shooting a 17# rifle off hand as it is. I've only been in one match that had that kind of stage, I think I scored 3/10...🤣

Edit add: probably would have helped more if my dumb ass had cranked the zoom down from 20x...live and learn.

I’m going with the NX8 just for that reason. Parallax down to 11 yds.

@Coors Man 264 if you get a rail or mount with the max* MOA built in, you'll likely be able to get the full potential out of it. That will be more important that having an extra 3 MIL of vertical adjustment. I have a 40 MOA rail on my Vudoo, I have 6.7 MIL under the zero stop...which is useless. Not sure if a 60 MOA rail would still zero at 25 or 50 and remain clear. When you get near the limits of adjustment scopes start to get a little cloudy...wouldn't want that for extreme close targets or extreme distance targets. For my use, having a zero at 50 I dial up for 25 yards, and up for everything farther than 50 yards. I can dial to almost 500 yards, never actually tried shooting it that far yet.

*for that scope, to still zero at close distance

Yeah if you’re shooting less than 50yds then yes stay away from Mark5. I actually took my mark5 off my FX crown air rifle cause of parallax and put on a NF NX8 4-32. Works great

Not sure if I shared this yet.
CZ 455 SS action
LW 17hm2 (Factory test barrel)
BScar 2-stage trigger
Rigid Alloy chassis
Area 419 rail
Mueller Target Dot scope

It's tipped over thousands of gophers. The one Eley group I shot during site in was seriously small. See attached

I always wonder that too, but never ask. I don't know what's wrong with 'em, but I bet it's hard to pronounce.

With my above avg IQ, I would say the Curtis action has a 22LR conversion, and in it's previous life was a 6mm of sorts. And the stock was used for that combo too.
Unless the usage is for double papered blunts, just in case shooting gets stressful, but I know nothing about that shit.

I’ve seen plenty of pictures of Vudoo and RimX rifles with them on the side too.

I beleve they come with the rifles and folks just bolt them on. My MPA BA came with the match saver but obviousy I never use it. If you look at Biathlon rifles they have five singles that you can use to recover a miss. It's shooter call as they have to be manually loaded (can't grab another mag) which is a huge time penalty. Of course taking the miss and sking on results in a lap on the penalty loop which is 150m per miss.

Always thought I would rule at Biathlon! I'm not the fittest or fastest but... "Leeme get this straight? You're sending ME... INTO THE WOODS... WITH A RIFLE and a buncha folks ahead of me? Yep! Imma finish top 10 nooooo problemo!" :LOL:

I expected the cartridge holder to come with my Vudoo in MPA BA Comp chassis, but it wasn't in the box when the rifle was delivered...I feel so left out. 😭

I volunteer a bit for the local biathlon club. It is an absolutely awesome experience. Most memorable was when a coach-mom said, "Eighteen ten year olds with rifles, what could go wrong?".

I'll survive without it; I have 5 ten round mags and a Kydex mag holder for my belt. I just won't look as kewl without the centerfire cartridge holder on the side of my Vudoo. 🤣

Yeah...my son in law critiqued me mightily on this photo. I am struggling with the major weight increase over my CZ. More back yard prop practice definitely needed.

I finally got my VQ Summit build complete. It’s sporting a 22” Shilen 4 groove ratchet rifled barrel complete with PRX tuner, and a Kidd two-stage trigger (3oz/3oz). I’ve got it mounted in an MDT Oryx chassis. I’m currently running a Mueller 8-32 target dot scope on it but will most likely switch my Sightron 45ED scope over from my 10/22 Gun come spring. Took a little trial and error to get perfect bolt headspace/tension but now it’s spot on and grouping well for me. The groups posted were at 25yds my local range using Norma match, haven’t even touched my good SK rifle or Center X yet in it so I’m quite happy with its potential.

What rear Bag rider is that on the Oryx chassis?
 
I have been benefiting from the knowledge on these forums for years but never really shared my builds, so here's one.

457 (ProVarmint donor)
KRG Bravo (with 3ish lbs of lead added to the stock)
Area 419 arca and 30moa scope base
11oz trigger spring
Arken ep5 (testing it out but so far so good)
Thunderbeast takedown 22

Makes a great backyard prs training rifle... I'll have to post up the others when I pull them out next.

Updated pics of the CA Ranger 22 with the new Burris XTR-II 5-25x50 SCR MIL on top. With the CA 20MOA base, I still maintain 13 MILs of elevation adjustment. I only need 5.1 to get to 200 from my 100 yard zero with CCI SV.

I added about a lb of brass to the end of my arca rail so it'll balance further forward, and today I did some tripod practice to get used to it. This was at my crown land practice spot, 5 min from my house.

I think I fixed my occasional feed issue today too. My daughter was shooting while I was watching, and I saw the rim of a round hang up. It's happened a couple times during matches, but for some reason I couldn't duplicate it when practicing, so I figured maybe it was just dirt or pocket lint in the mags. Turns out a little nub that located the rear of the mag was a tiny bit too big, so I filed it down a touch.
