Padom,

What barrel is up next? And when do you think it will be?
 
Bartlein is up next. I am pulling the Green Mountain now that Ive shown its capabilities at 50 and 100yd. Will get the Bartlein out at 50yd hopefully tomorrow.

Look forward to results.
 
I assume all will have the same chamber cut in them? Do you expect any performance increases from the other barrels? Will they be cut with the same reamer and by KA?

There is a review thread wth all the info, data, etc. here in the rimfire section. Yes, everything is 100% identical, only difference is the blank.


 
It's hard to believe any of the other barrels will be any better than the GM. It shot awesome at 100 yds.
 
@Zermatt Arms has really hit it out of the park with this one! I cant get over the accuracy and consistency of this RimX. Every barrel I screw on shoots insanely accurate taking top spots on the 6x5 Challenge @ 50 and 100yds and they keep getting better.

See my full review thread for more pictures and details but screwed the Bartlein on this morning and shot this at 50yds. 6x5's in the 0.1's with 3 different types of ammo!! 10x5 in the .1's with CenterX?!?! Talk about consitency.


 
What contours make sense here with a 20" barrel? I'm thinking of something slightly lighter than an MTU, but there is such an abundance of contour types not sure which way to go.

So this is shooting better than Vudoo?

Make sense for what? For you? for NRL22? Competition? Hunting? Truck Gun? Only you can answer that question as you have provided no info on what youre doing with the rifle.

Sorry I should have been more specific. NRL 22 and 22 PRS Matches.

Really hard to tell you what contour you like/prefer. I like my guns heavy so I think a 20" M24, which are what all my 22LR barrels are is perfect. Balances nicely and doesnt move at all.
 
I'm pretty happy with a heavy Palma but I don't think that's offered in any prefits. Your options are Proof Steel heavy sporter (very similar to a HP, Keystones M24(same as a heavy Palma but with a straight taper vs a sporter taper), Proofs competition contour. Fatter than a MTU and a pig

Keystone Accuracy is offering any barrel contour you want for their RimX prefits. Including all the RimX sale barrels.

On there website it states "Padoms Choice," is that your chamber profile you supplied to them? I am looking at that benchmark 3 groove. Don't know which one would be better?
 
Why? They dont heat up and if weight is a concern get lighter profile contour...
I ordered a GM with a Heavy Palma, so it's not for me, but some people like to have a carbon wrapped option. Just want to say thanks for all your work, this really taught me the importance of chamber in a rimfire.

Who is supplying good stocks for these? Prefer similar to what is pictured. Already have my RimX, Barrel (Shilen #5 ratchet with JGS chamber) and TT Diamond trigger. Just need a good stock.
 
Got my 3 new billet 15rd mag extensions on the way from Zermatt! Will be nice to shoot a full 6x5 now without reloading my 3 mags

I just ordered Extensions from Zermatt and Mags from ALTUS, Other than ALTUS, mags were a bit scarce. Though I have to admit I didn't ask Keystone if they had them.

Zermatt was out of mags? They told me they had a ton a week or two ago when I grabbed some more from them.
 
We're technically not OUT of magazines, but we have more orders for them than we have finished so we're not listing them as available at the moment. We really don't want to hold up shipping actions because we don't have magazines available.

Your best bet will be Altus, Gunware, Southern Precision or Bison Tactical today.

Thanks - Ray

Had a nice long conversation with @Frank Green over at Bartlein barrels today. Those of you looking for Bartlein RimX prefits like mine tested above can place orders with Keystone Accuracy. The will have some blanks coming from Bartlein. Pricing and timeframe will be available in the next day or two.

I also talked to Frank about your guys requests for Bartlein carbon wrapped 22lr RimX prefits. We can do that too. Need 10 preorders and I can get Bartlein carbon fiber RimX prefits to you guys. These would be 20" finish length M24 barrels. If there is another contour everyone really really wants, I can probably do 5 of one contour and 5 of the other. These would be finished by Keystone Accuracy and chambered with my 22LR Match Eachus chamber just like my Bartlein posted yesterday.

PM me if your interested in a Bartlein carbon 22LR barrel.
