    What scope do you have on your 22?

    I'm currently using a Vortex AMG but might be changing it out sometime soon for a Athalon Ares ETR. I currently have 27 mils of elevation but the change would get me 32 mils and get me out to close to 600 yards on the turrets. The Athlon would also give me a 25 yard parallax were the AMG only...

    DeLane Development Group Rimfire Ventures

    We were so lucky with the weather conditions for the match. It rained for 3 days before the match and we've had 3 days of 15-25mph winds after the match. Saturday, match day was near perfect conditions. It was more fun than I imagined beforehand with shooting 30 or less rounds. I've had...

    I can tell you from experience, it was much easier for me to buy the 2nd one than it was the first. My wife got her's 1st.

    It sounds like if you buy 1 you can sell 2. After shooting for a few weeks you will claim it to be one of the best decisions you ever made. I did and still do. I did miss 1 shot in last months NRL22 match though so they aren't perfect. 69/70

    Those are 2 widely use rails. I just put a 419 rail on my centerfire rifle. Maybe Mike will chime in with a good option.

    We've been having so much fun just shooting our rifles over the past few months that I forgot all about trying my suppressor on them. It has been so nice not thinking about all of the other crap that normally comes with trying to shoot small with a 22lr. Just load, shoot and listen for the...

    Yeah I saw the mag mod on page 14 of this thread. I really have zero desire to start modifying anything on this extremely well designed system. I just take a few seconds more to pay attention to how I'm loading my mags when using Eley Tenex. It isn't an issue with the mag, the issue is with this...

    When we picked up our 1st rifle Paul at VGW went over this with me on how to properly load a mag. I have had this happen to me when I was in too much of a hurry to load before a stage where I shot 1st. I also have only had it happen with ELEY Tenex ammo. Normally I pay attention to load the mag...

    About every descent 22 rifle out there can shoot tight groups at 25 yards. 50 yards is the starting point of seeing what a 22 rifle is actually shooting like and then again at 100 yards to see it's true potential. It seems like it may take a while to get enough of these rifles out there to start...

    Cz 455 Chassis With Arca Rail

    You need to call MPA. I believe that they are cutting the slots into all of the BA type chassis now. If they aren't doing in normally then they will do it upon request.

    My SDs are depressing me.

    I'm in the camp of cleaning a 22 just like and as often as I clean my centerfire rifles. I shoot various types of matches one of which is benchrest. Trying to shoot 75 perfect single shots on paper once a month shows me when my regular accuracy starts to change. For my Vudoo I see it around...

    Cleaning with felt pellets

    I've been using BoreSmith triangle cleaning patches over a nylon Bruch for my centerfire rifles. It has worked very well but since I bought the VFG pellets for my 22 I'm going to convert over to just the felt pellets for everything. I like the way they get into every nook and cranny of the bore...

    Cleaning with felt pellets

    You use them like a patch only they fit the bore much better getting into the corners of the groove much better. I was very happy with the types of patches that I was using but these things not only work great but are also very safe in the way that they pass through the bore. VFG Pellets and...

    What's a good starter precision 22?

    An interesting question that should have been asked is are we talking "precision" or "precision style". Generally I would think precision starts with rifles at the 1moa or better arena. While precision would definitely narrow down the choices or most certainly increase the cost factor especially...

    Ammo testing procedures

    I use the same Bore Tech and VFG felt pellets. I really don't worry about cleaning causing damage anymore. The VFG pellets keep the brass holder/jag well away from the barrel metal. Cleaning is quicker and easier than anything I've ever used before. Then a little Hawg grease on the bolt and...

    What's a good starter precision 22?

    You'll get more capability with a bolt gun if you think that you want to actually go down the 22 precision road. If you just want to have fun shooting an accurized 10/22 is all of that although you'll be saying "What the hell was that" a few rounds per 10rnd mag.

    Vudoo barrel cleaning

    I shoot bencherest, tactical and ELR with my Vudoo Ace barrel. I start to see occasional flyers (and I really mean something other that stacked shots) after about 500'ish rounds. I shoot Center X and Tenex depending on what I'm shooting. I use VFG pellets and BoreTech Eliminator, 1 wet and 2...

    Testing at the Lapua Center in Mesa Arizona

    When I get my new batch of Center X I can record my results at the next Vudoo Rimfire Series Match. I believe Range 1 has 700lbs of railroad ties to shoot off of. Last month I was 2nd on that stage by 1 point but with the new cheater ammo the sky is the limit.
