    Rimfire zero @ 50 yards... what magnification do you use?

    I use a Trijicon 5-50x56 scope and prefer 20x with a rear bag and bipod. Anything higher and I can see my heartbeat in the reticle. (n) I hope to go a bit higher with my new much steadier Randolph Machine rest this year. My cousin uses 30x when he shoots my rifle and groups better than me most...

    Where to get ammo now post

    I just ordered some and hated to pay the price but I don't want my Chicon custom rifle to become a boat anchor. Was going to order a Vudoo this year but afraid to now. I believe the prices will go thru the roof or ammo will cease to exist. :-(

    Ruger 10/22 based NRL22 build recommendations

    For anyone having trouble with chambering certain ammo in 10/22 rifles and clones... Try SK ammo which is naturally oily or put some drops of oil on a rag and shake up ammo like CCI SV and others until it's oily and then try shooting it in your rifle as Clark Custom Guns recommends. If you...

    Trevalor, I like a custom 10/22 because it's faster for timed events vs a bolt gun and almost as accurate. Like bolt guns too but the semi-auto is more fun to shoot for me.

    DeLane Dev Grp V-22S Single Shot Support

    The Shilen is a fine barrel and worth waiting for but if it were me (and it isn't :)) I would ask Vudoo if they could get me a Benchmark barrel made to my specs and ask how long the wait is. I used to wait an average of 2 to 2 1/2 years on custom knives and traditional bows so a Vudoo wait...

    Ruger’s new target long range 22lr American ... swing and a miss

    Barrel tuners almost always help in my experience. Any rifle I use for competition will always get one from now on. (y)

    Bergara or VuDoo

    Might have to give that a try. Thanks, 47guy.

    Bergara or VuDoo

    The main reason is none of the barrels are available in 24" and the other is they don't offer my favorite two brands. Sorry, I'm not gonna mention the two brands because I don't want the grief, lol. I want a 24" barrel so I can attach a 3" Tuner to it for 27 total inches. I like the looks of a...

    Ruger 10/22 based NRL22 build recommendations

    hsp, I, too, had trouble with my Chacon 10/22 build getting dirty towards the end of a shooting session and starting to jam. I read where a guy on YouTube recommended mixing Mobil 1 10W-30 Advanced Full Synthetic motor oil with Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic Transmission Fluid half and half and...

    Bergara or VuDoo

    Why doesn't Vudoo sell just the action? I'm sure this question has already been answered but I don't feel like searching for it. I don't like or want any of the barrels offered with the action, hence the question.

    Ruger 10/22 based NRL22 build recommendations

    I ordered one of Joe Chacon's custom 10/22 builds; the only Ruger part on it is the 10 shot magazine. It has the following... Tactical Innovations stainless steel receiver with built-in Picatinny rail KIDD 2 stage trigger CST Power Custom bolt 24" Douglas Barrel Joe's own J&L Tuner Accurate...

    Thanks for the post and link, Todd. Good explanation on your and JP's part. (y)

    Wish I had bought a Diamondback and kept my two Pythons in the past. ☹

    AR-15 Rimfire conversion for NRL22?

    It's a shame it doesn't for a $3,400 JP but I guess that style action doesn't lend itself to reliability and accuracy combined using a match chamber. Most 10/22 actions with match chambers are not reliable with all 22 ammo either so it wouldn't bother me if JP used a match chamber as long as it...

    AR-15 Rimfire conversion for NRL22?

    You make me glad I didn't order that JP, Todd. Glad I went with my Chacon custom 10/22 clone as it shoots great and probably better than a JP would have.

    AR-15 Rimfire conversion for NRL22?

    I priced a complete JP 22 rimfire build, a couple of years ago, and the price came to $3,400.00. Sure was a beauty though, I wanted to order it and almost did. :cool:

    Doc, as you can see, Dick’s grip is based on a 1911 style. I love both the feel and looks of the grip. you send Dick a Xerox copy of your shooting hand and he will create a grip for you that fits like a glove. the factory grip angle hurt my wrist while Dick’s does not. Oops, accidentally deleted...

    Here's a pic of my current 22 rimfire pistols. Pardini SP Bullseye on top with Dick Horton custom grip. Volquartsen Scorpion in the middle and the only one that can accept a suppressor. Volquartsen Masters on the bottom with a Mark III frame. The Pardini is by far the most accurate.

    Better be super fast if you want ammo

    I remember going to a gun show during the last shortage and they were asking $180.00 for a 500 count of the cheap stuff. :mad: I would never shoot again before I would pay that kind of price for Thunderbolts and other crap ammo. (n) Thank the Lord for Archery and Fly Fishing during times like...
