    22LR twist rate

    That’s why I’m thinking a tuner may end up being mandatory with 9t barrels, - or at least that is what I’m doing since my 22x9t barrel is threaded. I do wonder if cutting back the barrel to remove the threads or leaving it long and tuning it is better. I’m leaning towards leaving it threaded...

    CZ 455

    I have a 455 and 457. I was happy with the 455, but the 457 really is a much better gun. The action is better- 60d bolt throw, better parts, better trigger, safety. Nothing wrong with a 455, just the 457 seems like a natural evolution. I have 457 avaialable in CO at Sportmans ware house...

    22LR twist rate

    Voodoo isn’t cheap, but it’s a great action and he has worked out the variables in regards to twist, it would seem. Buy once, cry once; or feel around in the dark…

    22LR twist rate

    I have a EC barrel tuner that I’m going to try on the Lilja/457 9t barrel that I have. I don’t have the time or resources to lot pic ammo, so I was heading towards a tuner anyways. I think I can get into a 100y indoor range and work it up.

    22LR twist rate

    I have a 1:9 from Lilja for my 457 and I didn’t get the groups that I expected either. Was working on the zero and then getting some shots in at 100yards for groups, so I didn’t get a chance to really work it. I need to tweak the trigger and adjust the head space, based on failures to extract...

    Acceptable target size

    This is what I mean on feedback. If 22lr is quarter scale 308, I had these cut to 1/4 scale IPSC- but with a center hole with a flapper. Center is the real target, the face gives feedback. 1/4 scale gets smaller than you think. It isn't 1/4 of the surface area, its 1/4 on the hroizontal and...

    Acceptable target size

    How about two lines on the X axis, one showing the diagonal and below that the corresponding square size. Kind of like F and C for a temp axis labels. Could also add cm as units for both Canadians with guns still.

    Acceptable target size

    Two things. The first is minor, well both are minor. First is that the graph axis should be reversed. Distance on the x and target size on the y. Second, I think target size is important, but what I really have come to think is more important is what you learn from misses. I like tight...

    For you tuner people

    Got an EC tuner inbound to me for my 22s. Really interested to see what its effect will be. To me, it is about getting any lot of consistent 22lr ammo to work in any gun, at least theoretically. Also, interested in tuning in commercial centerfire ammo and skipping hand loading.

    Bartlein Barrel for 457 / 455

    I did the Yo Dave and liked it, but my son runs a bolt like a Gorrilla and it wore out. Replaced with a Timney trigger and that works great. A HUGE improvement over the stock trigger and a big improvement over the Yo Dave kit.

    Which tuner and why??

    How did you find the effect, on such a thick and fairly short barrel? How does the ATS attach via the existing barrel threads AND us the current muzzle device???? I have a barrel with about 1/2 inch of threads, how can this thread on AND leave enough to screw on thread/crown protector???

    Which tuner and why??

    Really interesting. I’d like to know which one is the most ’robust’ for non-benchrest shooting….

    Optic for 50 yard Zero on 50MOA rail

    457 with 20moa 419 rail. My razor 4.5-29 zeros at 50 yards - with an ERTAC 0-20 Mil set at 15 mils…. I think I’m pretty close to bottom. so I about 15mils or 50moa on the adjustable ertac mount. I had a 20moa rail, so I bought a 50moa rail for an increase of 30moa. That should allow me to...

    Is that so cars can pass underneath, or so that the tops of the trees are even with the other trees and it helps the illusion? Or both?

    22LR twist rate

    Not as planned. Took the gun out- MDT Chassis, stock trigger (which doesn’t seem that bad) and the Lilja barrel. 20MOA rail and the ERTAC mount. We didn’t get the groupings that we were looking for, and the gun started to have extraction problems. Tried some SK and Center-X ammo. It wasn’t...
