    DeLane Development Group Rimfire Ventures

    It is tough to tell others what to buy. I asked the Vudoo guys all of the same questions the couple of times that I was in their shop or at a match. We bought my wife's rifle 1st and got a Bartlein. Once her's was finished we ordered mine with an Ace. I've had mine a little over a month now...

    Ruger Precision Rimfire

    I will humbly disagree...to a point. I believe that there are several important factors with the top 2 being the ammunition and equally or even more so how the ammunition is handle by the loading mechanism. The most critical part of a 22 bullet is the driving bands on these oh so soft lead...

    Carbon ring is real. It will reek havoc with accuracy and groups. Every once in a while that first few inches from the chamber forward needs a little extra love with a good cleaner. Both of my barrels, Bart,ein and Ace are very smooth and clean well easily.

    We have both as well and they both shot great. I'd ask the Vudoo boys at the time that you are ordering.

    Testing at the Lapua Center in Mesa Arizona

    We have 1 Vudoo with a Bartlien barrel and 2 with Ace Barrels. I'll definitely be interested in the results between the 3 of them and if there are any similarities in how the test results turn out between the 3. I don't know of any restrictions at this point but I'd be happy share the results...

    Testing at the Lapua Center in Mesa Arizona

    We'll probably be going down with 3 Vudoos and a Kidd. I'd definitely like to known when they have a proper jig for the V22.

    Testing at the Lapua Center in Mesa Arizona

    Has anyone here gone to the Lapua Service Center in Mesa Arizona to test ammo lots with their rifle? How was your experience there? Did you find a superior lot for your rifle? Has you effort of going there paid off for you with better results? I'm looking at making a trip there in the near...

    What ammo are you using for long range?

    I'd love to help you out there but I have finally decided what ammo I'm using and I'm so glad to finally get there. Now I have about 10,000 rounds of 6 different kinds of ammo to sell off. I'll probably keep 100 to 150 rounds of some of that stuff probably to give to friends for their testing...

    What scope do you have on your 22?

    I had that same scope on my 22 Tactical 10/22's. It is a very nice scope and features for the money. The only thing I did't like was the feel of the turrets even though they proved to be accurate in terms of adjustment. This is a night and day improvement over what was available at that price...

    When we ordered my wife's rifle we went with a 18" Bartlein in a Kukri profile for no particular reason. When we went up to order my rifle Paul talked with me about the Ace barrels as well. I was apprehensive to go that direction because the Bartlein shot so well. I did decide to go with the Ace...

    What scope do you have on your 22?

    Yeah, too many pages open at the same time. Yep, Athalon. They are trying to compete twith the Nightforce ATACR with the Aries ETR. Similar features at 1/3 the price. That is a good offering for sure.

    What scope do you have on your 22?

    I just noticed today the Athlon makes an Ares ETR 4.5-30x56mm FFP scope with 30 mil of elevation and a 25y parallax and zero stop. Christmas tree reticle with floating dot center. Can get it for $1,199 with a throw lever and bubble level. With that setup you could run your rifle from 25y to over...

    What ammo are you using for long range?

    I've been going through testing the higher end ammo lately as well. Shooting everything through a LabRadar. While I've found the various strings of Lapua Midas +, X-Act and Eley Tenex to have very similar ES and SD numbers through various strings I did see a noticeable difference on group sizes...

    What ammo are you using for long range?

    If you want the short answer then it is any upper end ammo to 200y, SK Rifle match, Lapua Center X, Midas+, X-Act or Eley Tenex out to 200y depending on the rifle used. Out to 300y it narrows down to Midas+, X-Act and Tenex. Out to 400 and beyond it's only Tenex. This is all considering what is...

    If this thread has devolved to the point of the grammar being more important than the content then I'm out. I'll spend my extra time on the range instead of the forum.

    DeLane Development Group Rimfire Ventures

    So today a few of us went to the range to do a little practice for the NRL22 match tomorrow. One of the motivating reasons to step up to a Vudoo was the frustration of the past few years of shooting 22 matches. What I mean by that is the frustration of knowing that you made a good shot and then...
