    Picked Up A Vudoo, Man was i wrong

    For PRS/NRL22 style matches there are a ton of variables that can and will affect your overall performance which have little or nothing to do with the rifle you choose, so don't beat yourself up. When I first started shooting PRS, it was before the VuDoo came out and I shot a simple Savage...

    Best path in choosing an NRL 22 rifle?

    What lil pod said is the best advice. If you can afford it you can never go wrong with more accuracy. In that case go with the VuDoo. But, you do not need sub 1/2MOA accuracy to be competitive in NRL22/PRS-22 type matches. Having a good repeatable FFP optic and knowing your dope for that...

    Winchester 52's

    Calfed, what Simpletoms said is correct. As long as You are not using the safety, the rifle is fine to shoot. I had the same concerns at first until I looked at where the stresses were in the old pre-A receivers and realized that it was fine when the safety is not in use. I sent you a PM on...

    Winchester 52's

    PS - I don't like really light triggers but if you want one for your Win 52, contact John Langley. He has developed a trigger that if better than the old Canjar or Kenyon options. Pretty amazing.

    Winchester 52's

    I have three 52's and old Pre-A Speedloc and two 52B's that I call "The Twins". One is ugly and will shoot anything and the other is pretty and likes fancy ammo like Eley Black and Midas+. Both shoot extremely well. I have a vintage Fecker 10x on the Ugly Girl and a vintage BalVar 6-24x on...

    Vortex DB 6-24 or Arken SH4 GEN II 6-24

    I am in the same boat. Setting up a rifle for PRS & NRL22 type matches. I looked at Sightron, Athlon, Arken and Vortex. I was close to choosing the Vortex Strike Eagle when I got some reports of quality issues with the rectical being crooked and other serious defects. That took it off the...

    What does your Vudoo like better Center-X or Midas+

    I don't own a VuDoo (yet) but the ammo question can be applied to any high end rifle. A good lot will beat an average lot of all of it. A good lot is amazing and you need to shoot several different speeds of CX and/or Midas+ to find your best ones for a given rifle. In the past I had some bad...

    6X5 Thread V5.0 *new 1/1/21*

    Thanks JB. I shot the Quad in our club's Thursday nite cut-throat 50y BR fun shot for sporter rifles last night. We shooting against several Annie 54/64's a few killer Win 52C's and a collection of other high end rifles. At least four of the competitors are past national BR champs and/or...

    6X5 Thread V5.0 *new 1/1/21*

    I went out to do some more testing with the Quad earlier this week. I decided to bring the Anschutz 54 Super Match along to blow the cobwebs out of the barrel and get some more trigger time with it. Shot a 6x5 at 50y. It was not spectacular due to a gusty cross wind that spoiled a few of the...

    6X5 Thread V5.0 *new 1/1/21*

    McMillan A5 is what it was. I only figured out that it was one of Jered's builds yesterday. I have been enjoying getting it set up. Ordered another scope for it yesterday also. Am itching for the next time I can take it to the range. That is funny that you were there when he was finishing...

    6X5 Thread V5.0 *new 1/1/21*

    JB - your knowledge of these rifles is impressive. You are correct. It is one of the EuroOptic series of 49 which were built about 2012. Mine is Numba10 which fits my personality to a T. I was very lucky to have found it in such nice condition. Too often those cerakote finishes get...

    6X5 Thread V5.0 *new 1/1/21*

    Been meaning to get another score on the board. Recently acquired a Sako Quad Lilja Tactical. This was a limited group of 49 made for Eurooptic with a Lilja bbl and McMillan (I think?) stock and 20moa DIP rail. I only picked it up a few days ago and slapped an old scope on it to give it a...

    6X5 Thread V5.0 *new 1/1/21*

    Sry for slow reply. I cannot get on here often. The s/n for my 54 Super Match is 19,4xx. It has the bull nose forestock, single extractor and no date stamp. This places it in between your two. The data for the very early ones is sketchy but as far as I know the model 54 began production on...

    Rimfire WTB - Sako Quad Barrel in 17 Mach2 caliber

    Am looking to buy a spare barrel for Sako Quad in 17 Mach2 caliber. Prefer thin profile hunter without iron sights but would also accept varmint profile. Factory Sako or Lilja. Either is acceptable.

    Rimfire Gone: Sako Quad 22lr w/ Lija Barrel and Manners Stock

    Do you have any other Sako bbls that you will sell? I am looking for a 17 Mach2 bbl for the Sako Quad.

    Any 22LR that compare with Vudoo?

    To the OP - CZ now makes a model that is called the Varmint Precision Chassis model. I have competed against a few of them in national level BR matches and they are competitive in those factory classes. MSRP is about $995. Savage also has a new chassis model precision rifle. Neither will...

    The whole box at 100 yards

    I was talking to a friend from OH who just won the WV state Unlimited BR championship in ARA about the Lapua test center in OH and what was a good group to expect when testing ammo with a custom unlimited BR rifle? They test in a tube at 50y and 100y so wind is not a factor and the rifle is...

    Tuners

    My understanding of the tuner such as the Harrells type and others is that it is used to precisely adjust a large weight fore and aft on the end of the bbl until a null point is found at the muzzle. The barrel vibrates or rings from the impulse of the shot and this harmonic vibration moves the...
