I was considering the Bergara as well but honestly there are no Tikkas, Bergaras, or CZs in stock around me lately. Like nobody has anything even sportsmans warehouse or cabelas, or all the local guys I normally use.
Thinking about picking up one of these ranger 22s tomorrow. There's a $250 rebate from CA and sportsmans warehouse has a $50 cash back deal right now. Figured you can't beat it for that price.
Yes sorry I was basically asking what is the best rear bag these days as I'm looking to upgrade. I've seen precision underground mentioned several times in this context. Thanks for your insight.
So would a pint sized heavy fill game changer still be considered one of the best solutions for a rear bag, even in prone, or is there a better option for that purpose? @lowlight
Might also want to check out the Leupold MK5 3.6-18 with the new pr1 reticle. I have one and they are fantastic optics. No problem using out to 1200+. You can find them around $1500.
Yes this does make sense to me. I'm guessing it was something that got stuck in a ring somewhere that wasn't visible. I'd like to say I'll shoot more groups to confirm everything's ok, but I'm not going to waste ammo and barrel at 100 yards.
No it was a load in the middle of the same poi and also the velocity was flattened out in this range as well. Group sizes themselves were similar at about .5 moa. Again I'm not sure what it was but the gun shot even better than I expected out at distance on Saturday.
I've been running the ptg bottom metal with aics mags and it's been 100% even in matches. It's not my favorite design but we don't really have many choices since cdi is no more.
The gun hammered out to 1200 today at the match. Shooting under half moa at distance. Extremely pleased with its performance. 92 degrees and no pressure issues with loads. Didn't shoot for groups at 100 but it doesn't seem to be a problem at distance. Not sure what to make of it all. I'm...
Its not hot at all. No marks on brass at all, no primer flattening or flow, 2718 fps out of 18" bartlein. Right in the ballpark for 130s. Below sierra book max.
Just an update I reseated my action in the bedding/stock and checked my base (rock solid/tight) and retorqued my rings on base and optic. Will rezero tomorrow morning and see how the match goes.
No. Probably doesn't help to narrow it down lol. I honestly thought this would be like a typical thing people see, X causes Y sort of scenario. I didn't expect a bunch of typical suggestions like loose mounts. I've just never experienced it before, that's why its strange to me.
