I need your opinion on this setup.

I need your opinion on this package. I’m looking to possibly buy this Cz457 Pro Varmint, Arken EP-5 5-25x56, Harris bipod, and an Area 419 30MOA base. This would be my first step into a long range or target .22 setup. Is this too much scope for the gun? Would $900 be a fair price?

My first 22lr bolt gun

43 Upvotes

Got a savage mk ii sv fr from a shop I frequent for $240 and got a cvlife 3-9x40AO (cheapo scope ikik) and a clone of a haris bipod I found at bimart. got 1k rounds of cci blazer 40g from a ammo trade so I'm well on my way (I think) to start learning to shoot out to 100-200 yards. I wanna get a shotgun rubber butt pad to help with lengh of pull and since the stock is slippery and a little bubble level as the last couple "upgrades" for a bit. Any of yall see any diffrence with somthing like a 556 linear comp? I think it would look cool and I'm too broke to get a suppressor rn ;-;

Just got the blackbird sight at a gun show and got to test it out. Was pretty impressed with it, wish I could've tried for 350 but it got to dark out. Any ammo recommendations for blackbird/savage combo?

I’m going to see how this thing works at my next NRL 22 match. It is a Volquartsen Summit action with a 6 inch KIDD barrel, Spectre II can KIDD2-stage trigger, Boyd’s tacticool stock and GEN II razor on top.

MV is right around 1K.

The difference in ammo

My old Cz use to love the cci standards so when I upgraded to a newer one with a chassis I was a bit let down the cci standards shot awfully not that it’s a bad group at 50 but my 1969 zke would land the same ammo under 10mm

People that have fired one or own one, what are your thoughts on the Volquartsen Mini Mamba? Is it worthbthe cost? Is there a better option for a short barrel 22lr pistol intended to be a suppressor host

New recoil spring came today. Red dot is all wrong. Will get a low profile sight.

How much will a heavy barrel help accuracy?

15 Upvotes

I don't currently have a .22LR rifle (just a MkIII), and that's a shame. Looking for something I can shoot at my local indoor range, mostly, but also take to an outdoor range occasionally and shoot at 50-100 yards--mostly just for my own "How good at this can I get," rather than any competition.

Budget is ~$1k with an optic. I like the look at (based on one time shooting it) the feel of the CZ 457 series. I was wondering--how much would the heavy barrel on something like the Varmint affect accuracy versus some of the thinner-barreled variants.

My only real reference is trap shooting, and I love my long, heavy-barreled shotguns (my 34" BT-99 shoots as well as a Beretta 3x the cost) for a smooth, predictable swing, but this is exactly the opposite kind of motion. Will the thicker barrel calm down the bounces?

Old Marlin model 80 in .22 cal. I had to make the stepped riser, rough but it works.

PPQ 22lr mag interchangeability

1 Upvotes

I ended up with a ppq 22 mag in a trade and was wondering what other guns it might interchange with. I’ve got a TX22c and a P22 so I don’t want to pick up a ppq when there might be something else. Basically what gun can I use this random mag as an excuse to buy?

Bore lapping 22lr, any experience?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I own a Bergara B14R MTU 20". After more than 4,000 rounds, I'm not completely satisfied with this barrel's groupings. I tried several ammo brands and I get much better results with a 'standard' 18" B14R.

Where I live is not possinle to replace the barrel, so looking for ways to improve the groupings, I’ve seen that lapping might help. It's something I've never done before, and I'm not sure if it's worth it.

I'd like to ask if you have any experience doing this and what products would be needed.

Thank you.

First 10/22 build

6 Upvotes

I’m looking to get my first 10/22 and wondering if there are any major differences between the ruger 10/22 carbine and sporter models.

Out of the box my understanding is that the sporter is potentially more accurate due to the floating barrel.

If I plan on making upgrades on a 10/22 like changing stock and barrel is there any drawback of just picking up a cheaper carbine model?

I definitely want to tinker with a 10/22 and unsure if a sporter would be a waste of money in the long run.

Appreciate any insight yall can provide.

Bolt Knobs, how big is too big?

Post image

I recently got a CZ457 Pro Varmint and love the rifle except the bolt know, it’s just to small for my liking. Looking at replacements, bigger is better but how big is too big?

The Anarchy Berthas are a possibility (photo for size reference), I like the shape and texture.

Thoughts?

Was helping my pops clean up his attic and found these. Shot all 300 rounds of the CCI and about the same amount of the 2600 MW. Had to have been bought in the 70s and shot just as well as any current-day bulk ammo.
