    Vudoo lot testing results with lapua,sk,rws ammo

    I know you can go to or send to either Lapua or Eley in the USA for testing but is there a place to test RWS in the USA? I was not aware of one. I do know a shooter in SoCal who was getting amazing results from RWS Special Match last year from his CZ452. but, he was having difficulty getting...

    Vudoo or RimX - where to try - Southern CA

    Multiple guys here have urged you to buy the VuDoo. If you are serious about shooting sports and want to compete at the highest levels, then that is very good advice. Out of all the complete rifles on the market today, it is IMO the best over all. I have seen Anschutz 54 heavy bbl sporters...

    Polar Biathalon, Pistol King, or Pistol OSP in my Vudoo

    I used Polar Biathlon in a 35 spd with good effect last winter in my CZ457 Factory BR rifle. It recorded a couple of perfect ARA cards in competition before it ran out. It worked in my Sako Quad Tactical very well also. I used it in temps ranging from below freezing to 65 deg F. It is faster...

    Sako Quad Lilja Tactical - Stretching out to 400y

    So much for the published speed data being close to the actuals. I returned to the range this week to do long range practice and to assist a friend with his new Bergara B14R in developing his dope, etc. We went to work at the 200y range and despite it being colder (63 Deg F) than last time...

    Winchester 52's

    We shoot Winchester 52's a lot at my local club where we host a Thursday night benchrest "Fun Shoot". It is open to any factory stock (loosely enforced) 22lr repeater. 52's, Annies, Sako's VuDoo's, Coopers, and most others have been tested in that match but the 52's continue to make up about...

    Sako Quad Lilja Tactical - Stretching out to 400y

    That is interesting. Which speed code are you shooting in center X? It is the first two digits of the lot number. If their velocity claims are correct, it should be a 23 but I know this varies greatly by bbl length, ambient temps, etc. Also, what length bbl are you seeing the 1060fps from...

    Sako Quad Lilja Tactical - Stretching out to 400y

    I did not run it over a Chrono to verify the actual MV. The speed code is 27 which calcs out to about 1073 fps but I am not sure what bbl length their test bbl is. Mine is a 20" Lilja and based on the bullet drops I am thinking the actual is closer to 1071. That is what I have in the...

    Sako Quad Lilja Tactical - Stretching out to 400y

    No, not really. In fact the action is as smooth as any rifle I own. You can easily work the bolt without every coming up off of the scope if you desire. It was a fun day. We are going back next week to do it again. Irish

    Sako Quad Lilja Tactical - Stretching out to 400y

    Finally found time this week to take the Sako Quad Lilja Tactical and shoot it at 200y, 300y and 400y to begin verification of long range dope with the rifle. This is one of the 49 rifles built by Jerrod Joplin at GA Precision Arms. It rides in a McMillan A5 stock and I fitted an Arken Optics...

    25 shots at 100 yards

    Justin, this is a really interesting topic. Thank you for posting it. I am not at all surprised that Eley and Lapua products were consistently topping the results of every chart. I would add that both Eley and Lapua make 22lr that are graded by median velocity from sample tests of each lot...

    22LR twist rate

    325 M/s x 100 = (32,500 cm/s) / 2.54 = (12,795 in/s / 12) = 1066 Ft/sec or Meters per sec x 3.28 = Ft per Sec Yes, I am USA but the silly euros at Lapua want to publish their approx ammo velocities in Metric for some reason.

    22LR twist rate

    Interesting idea. If? this takes wings, I have a proposition. I have at our club access to a 600y range which could support the event. We would need club approval for its use but it is here in KY so accessible from many parts of the country. We also have a pretty darn good Southern BBQ...

    .22 Rimfire Squirrel Rifles

    FYI - I bought an old Rem mod 592 last year that had been in storage for more than 30y and its trigger was seized up also. I removed it from the stock and hosed it with gun scrubber first and then soaked it with Kroil and later with some super lube from Advanced Weapons Technology. After...

    .22 Rimfire Squirrel Rifles

    I love Win 52's. I have four of them and all of them are amazing shooters but they are all heavy barrel tgt models. Each has a name and is fitted with a vintage scope, Fecker, Unertl, BalVAR, etc. Some still have the original peeps with them as well. I shoot two of them often. The other two...

    .22 Rimfire Squirrel Rifles

    Our spring season opens tomorrow morning. Like rth1800, I too keep a number of squirrel rifles available and ready depending on the terrain, and conditions. My main squack killers: CZ452 American with Hawke 4-16x scope loaded with Eley HV HP ammo which is not supersonic and shoots to the...

    Need a scope for my squirrel gun

    Dammit man, those 52 sporters are too pretty to hunt with. Beautiful rifles. Envious. As for the OP's quest, I like to use a 3-12x or a 4-16x on most of my squack rifles although I am not opposed to irons either. One of the best budget scopes out there today is the Hawke 4-15x-50 SFP...

    Cz457 MTR

    I shoot 50y BR matches (ARA Factory) using a CZ457 VPT in the Manners stock. I shoot against several 457 MTR's and some shoot well and others do not. I do know that mine is able to shoot 1/4" groups off of a bench with good ammo (Lapua) and has recorded 5 ARA perfect scores this year so far...

    Best optic under $800

    Regarding the Arken, I have the SH4 6-24x50 Gen2 FFP MIL VPR scope. I ordered it last Oct to go onto a PRS rifle. It did not arrive until December after XMAS but it was well worth the wait. It is the best modern optic that I currently own and rivals the supreme clarity of my Unertl vintage...

    What is practical advantage of sighting at 200 m?

    Th 100y zero and dialing up for longer shots is good advice most of the time, especially with a good optic with proper turrets and mil dot reticle. It is what I do with most of my centerfire rifles today. Years ago, I did have an experience which for that specific situation setting a 250y zero...
