    Great start! Truth now… how was the rest of your range session? :)

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Optics Argos BTR Gen II 10-40 x 56

    I *like* the fine, reticulated reticle that in the 10-40x for bench/precision shooting.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Optics Argos BTR Gen II 10-40 x 56

    Let me give some initial feedback regarding post #47 in this thread. Athlon Optics folks are on the ball, and they monitor things here at Snipers Hide! Someone had seen my post here and realized it was the same person (me) that had called their customer/tech service department that afternoon...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Optics Argos BTR Gen II 10-40 x 56

    Just got two Athlon scopes, an 8-34x and a 10-40x. The 8-34x was put on a .223 AR for hunting and works great. The 10-40x was put on a CZ 457 bench gun in 22LR, and it would NOT zero at 50 yards -- not enough elevation, even at four full turns up (away) from the zero stop... Elevation DID...

    I plan to do that with mine, but just FYI, Mike Bush told me that he suggests not sending it off until you have at least 1000 rounds through it. I'm about 2/3 there :)

    What brand/kind of rings are they? I don't recognize the logo. EDIT: Never mind, found 'em! https://www.americanrifle.com/shop/product/m10-scope-rings-7

    Harrell Tuner on a Vudoo MTU tapered barrel

    All barrels have some whip… if you’re experiencing vertical stringing, it will probably help. If you’re already making 50-yard 5-shot groups that are one ragged hole, then don’t bother :-) My Vudoo 360 Ravage with 20” Kukri barrel doesn’t need one at this point.

    Harrell Tuner on a Vudoo MTU tapered barrel

    I have an Ezell tuner... purchased about a year ago after have an informative long talk with Mike Ezell via phone. It is THREAD ON rather than bored to a specific diameter for clamp-on. That way, I can easily move it between rifles! Of course I have to determine the preferred setting for a...

    … and the optic was a Vortex Golden Eagle.

    It's not a V22S, it's a V22R (repeater) 360 in "Ravage Ridgeback" configuration. At the current stage of barrel break-in, it likes SK Long Range Match better than the various lots of Center-X or Midas+ or other SK or RWS ammo I've tried in it. The rest setup was a SEB MINI front rest, and a...

    The Vudoo 360 took first place in its class at yesterday's local 50-yard match. It had 580 rounds through it before the match started, now 630 rounds. Best 5-shot group measured .22" (.42 MOA).

    On mine, doing the "button snap" or "mag tap" fixes the orientation enough to solve the problem. See Vudoo's video here:

    I first used 200 rounds of Wolf Match to break in the barrel (using the Mike Bush suggested break-in method including Boretech Rimfire Blend, nylon brush and bore guide), then tried of several lots of Midas+ and Center-X, as well as different types of SK, plus Eley and RWS. With 580 total...

    My new 360’s bolt was noticeably sticky too. My CZ457 and Ruger American Rimfire bolts were so much better new out of the box… it was quite a disappointment on the Vudoo. But I added CLP and did Vudoo’s 200-round barrel break-in and the bolt is already noticeably better. I would have expected...

    Here's the local 22 Precision Rimfire Rifle matches in which I'm going to use my new Vudoo -- works well for us older guys as well as those more spry: www.PrecisionRimfire.net

    Gotta love 3D printers. I made a simple benchtop tray to hold the 5 magazines that I use during matches. It holds them at a slight angle, and works with my plain Vudoo magazines as well as the ones that I have with an extended bottom plate. This keeps me more organized than just having five...

    Once I knew that they *will* come off that way, I used my rubber-jawed vise to hold the bottom plate, used a dowel to hold the spring to take pressure off the "nipple" piece, push the nipple piece down out of the way, and then a small rubber hammer to tap the magazine down far enough where I...

    Mine didn't come with one either, but with the finger buttons that the mag comes with, I don't know why you'd need a loading assist tool. I've got three of their10rd polymer mags (logo version) here, and I'm having trouble getting the baseplates off for cleaning. I would have presumed it works...
