So now I understand why your rimx attempt failed. You're just to dam smart to build one.I would get a used Ruger barrel and have it rechambered

My poor RimX has been playing musical stocks but I think it found its forever home in a Manners EH1A. Her and I had a range date tonight.

i threw mine on 20" heavy varmint kreigerBL, what are your thoughts on the ATS tuner? And have you done any testing with and without the brake? That looks like the Area 419 Hellfire. Have you found any adverse effects using the brake.
It’s the only tuner I’ve ever run and adding the tuner and the brake seemed to greatly reduce flyers on my rifle. The brake is a PVA Jetblast.BL, what are your thoughts on the ATS tuner?

Great looking rig!Took some time getting everything together. Mag adjustment was a little funky but once I had all 4 squared away there hasn't been any problems since, 500 ish rounds in. Barrel is a 20" green mountain with eachus chamber from keystone accuracy, MPA BA chassis, trigger tech diamond flat. Runs good with everything I have fed into her so far, SK standard +, SK rifle match, SK long range match, Lapua center X, Lapua X-Act. Had a few light strike hiccups that I'm basing on the unexpected 20 degree weather and the liberal grease application, but I've cleaned that all out and going for another run later this week to be sure. ZERO regrets so far in my choice. View attachment 7533271

One quick thing - the grease we apply is intentional and will promote a smoother operating action. I'd make sure to put some back on the shroud where it interacts with the bolt body. We use Shooters Choice all weather grease that's good in extreme temperatures.
If you run into anything you need assistance with, please let us know. Thanks - Ray
Ive had failure to ignite issues in temps under 35F with all my 22 rifles when using 22LR ammo not specifically made for cold weather shooting... Just the nature of 22LR ammo. To this day, well over 6000rd on my RimX I have yet to touch the grease or clean and replace the grease in my bolt. Its exactly how it came from Zermatt back in March....
How often does this happen I only ask because where I live winter is long and I shoot outside.Ive had failure to ignite issues in temps under 35F with all my 22 rifles when using 22LR ammo not specifically made for cold weather shooting...

Shooting at 10-f hasn't caused any issues that I have noticed with the bulk ammunition I have tried .....savage bolt gun,10/22s, and 22 pistols.
Is this an ammo thing or a rimx thing?
Cause cold weather is generally the norm for 7 months up here
and having hiccups because of the cold would get old real fast.....
Thanks
Thanks,Definitely not a RimX thing. Happened to me in 2 CZ455 and RimX with FGMM UM22 AND 922a.... I don't shoot cheap bulk ammo so I can't speak to that. Never happens in Temps above 40F with same ammo all spring and summer....I'd say maybe 1 every 10 or 15
Thanks,
Unfortunately I'm stuck with the ammo I have until more choices are available. We can't order ammo up here that I know of , and the last boxes of anything match where badly price gouged.
Any ideas why match ammo would be more temperature sensitive then bulk?
I would also hate to buy a bunch of match ammo only to have it not run in the winter......haha I guess I need to look up biathlon ammo
Sorry if this is off topic I wont ask anymore questions regarding ammunition.
There was thread on this earlier, Contact Trigger Tech directly, they will take care of you. I would start with them before anything else like fiddling with trigger too much.Anybody using a Trigger Tech Diamond experiencing the following:
Pull trigger, feel second stage break, then quarter to half second later the firing pin drops? It's almost like a hang fire in that it's delayed, but has nothing to do with the primer.
Two weeks ago, I put 75 flawless rounds of Center-X through the system. Pulled the rifle out today for some fine tuning, and now this is happening.
Anyone know the cause, and how to correct it?
ETA: I also experienced two light primer strikes. Both times I was able to re-incert the round and get it to cook off properly. Suppose my firing pin spring might be too light, or... chalk it up to rimfire probs.

What DBM bottom metals work with the RimX? Is there are consensus about which one is best in sense of least issues with loading?
Is it best practice to "glue" the DBM to a stock so the DBM-magazine relationship is absolutely stable?
Yes it will shoot it. That being said I suppose the chamber you choose to run will have something to do with function and accuracy..mine is a Lilja 2 chamber. Greenmountain barrel 24”, just crowned. Here are some groups with inexpensive ammo at 50 yards..Question for rimx owners..... first of all I'm new to precision 22s. Been looking at building a rimx because I like to tinker and like accurate rifles....
Please don't string me up for this Question but,
How does a rimx shoot bulk ammo?
I know a rifle of this pedigree deserves match ammo....but...
I live in a state where ammo isn't shipped easily and with the ammo crisis going on its hard to buy anything ammo related......
I have plenty of bulk ammo though so if anyone has shot bulk please let me know.....
I'd hate to try and put this together if I couldn't shoot bulk until ammo becomes available.....
Also any word on how current proof research barrels are preforming? As far as accuracy and function with the chambering... or any recommendations for barrels in the same price range?
So far planned on
Rimx
Proof barrel
krg bravo
trigger tech
Is there anything else besides the action wrench and a vice needed?
Thanks all
I have one on order so hope to find out soon. I am also interested in others experience.Anyone shooting a Proof prefit from Altus?

Nakoa01 and I have hashed this over beforeWouldn't put unleaded in a Ferrari
I shoot my RimX for stress relief and run Remington's Bucket O' Bullets when I do so. I can reach out to 250 yards on an 8" target and ring it 10 out of 10 times. I've got prairie dog silhouettes between 60 and 230 yards as well and can run through them on the way out to 250.Nakoa01 and I have hashed this over before
I say it will probably shoot bulk as good as bulk can shoot.
Shoot what you have.
It won’t hurt it. The guns meant to be shot and bulk ammo won’t hurt the action or the barrel imho.
It won’t group with mid grade or top tier ammo but if that’s all you can get the roll with it.
Just know that you will probably have fliers and you will probably always be wondering if they fliers were you or the ammo.
Apparently gone, nothing on sales page now.
I'm with you. Mine was supposed to ship 1-14. Still waiting but I get it shit happens. But last I heard it was out for nitride.Killing me seeing all these actions come in stock. Waiting on my action from October.

I agree I have everything else sitting and waiting alsoMine was 1-19 on original invoice. And that's what Ray said about mine that week. Things happen, it will come but having a chassis, barrel and scope here on my desk is rough.
Was chronoed with a MS3.I think your premise is flawed. I don't see that Tenex shooting 1120 to start the experiment.
