    Need help with scope base.

    I also am using the 0 MOA base. I have a 25 MOA base that I might try. The Mark IV rings are kind of like you described. They are wider and squared off at the base.

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    https://borebuddy.com/product/ar22-rskit/ Bolt Buddy sells the spring kit I was talking about. It allows you tune the bolt to the type of ammo you are shooting. With the accuracy of the Beyer barrel, I prefer to use match ammo. They are really nice barrels. On par with my Fedderson barrel...

    Need help with scope base.

    I have already changed out rings so a picture would not help. I will try to explain better. On the bolt, there is piece sticking out that is threaded to screw the bolt handle in. The base of the Mark IV rings are wider so they stick out more. The piece on the bolt is barely making contact...

    Need help with scope base.

    Just started building my new CZ457 today and ran into a problem. I am using a Bscar scope base. After I installed it I put a pair of Leupold Mark IV rings on it. The problem is I can't cycle the bolt. The place where you screw the bolt handle to the bolt is striking the base of the ring. I...

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    No, it needs to be more than hand tight. I just didn't use a torque wrench. My hand guard came with barrel nut wrench that fit a 1/2" torque wrench. I just cranked it down with a breaker bar. Tighten it good. I don't have a bore buddy on mine, but after a few thousand rounds all I am seeing...

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    It works really good with the CMMG bolt and the SW mags both 10 and 25 rnd. As far as the bolt hold open feature, I would say it is pretty reliable. Not guaranteeing 100% but is anything really 100%?

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    Charging handle, Boonie Packer mag conversion for your lower if you want to use 15/22 mags, and a CMMG dedicated breech collar for your bolt if it doesn't come with one. If you can't find a CMMG bolt with collar, you can still buy a conversion CMMG bolt, take the end that fits in the AR15...

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    No need to wait. It is very easy to build a dedicated 22LR AR upper. No special tools are really needed. You don't really have to torque the barrel nut down like you do on a AR15 or AR10. I have built 7 complete AR rifles. The 2 rimfires were extremely easy. With all of the videos on the...

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    RWS Target Rifle, Wolf, SK Standard Plus, and Gecco Semi-Auto mostly. All SV ammo. Not 1 hole groups but a nickel will cover a 5 shot group shot at 50 yds most of the time. I think a better shooter could get sub moa. I can't, but it is not because of the rifle. The Hiperfire trigger set at...

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    Clint Beyer barrel, CMMG bolt, Good upper receiver, hand guard, charging handle, and a Boonie Packer and you are done. Extremely easy to build. Beyer barrels are very, very accurate. I have an 18" and a 10" and love them.

    Need help with scope bases.

    I need some advice on choosing a scope base. Bought a new CZ 457 Varmint. Am putting it in a KRG Bravo and mounting a Diamond Back Tactical 6-24x50 MOA on it. Trying to decide which Area 419 base I need. Choice is between a 15 MOA and a 30 MOA. The Club I belong to limits 22 LR to 100...

    Help me decide on a chassis please

    If you keep the Oryx and your interested in an MDT vertical grip I can make you a deal on one. I sold the Savage with the Oryx and put the original grip back on it. I had planned to put the vertical grip on a 22 AR I built for target shooting and realized it won't work on an AR lower. Kind of...

    Help me decide on a chassis please

    It's not that I didn't like it. I had it on a Savage Mark II TR and it was the most affordable option I could find ($400). Now that have CZ more options at that price point are available. I personally like the looks of the Bravo and XRS better. Nothing wrong at all with the Oryx.

    Help me decide on a chassis please

    It looks like I will more than likely get the KRG Bravo. Can't argue with the price point. Thanks for the input.

    Help me decide on a chassis please

    I am in need of some help making a decision. I just traded for a new CZ 457 Varmint 22 LR. I have narrowed my choices down to either the KRG Bravo or the MDT XRS. The only chassis I have ever owned was an Oryx. I know that I don't want to go that route again. As far as ergonomics go, they...

    Vortex PST or Venom

    I have dealt with this guy for many years and trust him 100%. He took the the scope off of a rifle he had traded for. I called Vortex and they said no problem. They even told me to send the scope in and there techs would inspect, clean, and replace anything missing no charge. The scope is...

    Vortex PST or Venom

    Went to local shop today to get a price for a new Vortex Venom 5x25-56 scope. His supplier was out of stock but he quoted me a price of $448.00. Was looking in the display case and saw a new Strike Eagle for $699.00. Looked a little closer and noticed a used PST 5x25-50 Gen II for $450.00...

    Do you dry fire your 22?

    Even after boot camp and we were in the FMF, we had to snap in for a full week every time we had to qualify. Sucked big time sitting in a circle around a white barrel with black dots painted on it. Pendleton can get hot in the summer.
