Newly added scope. Not the vortex but its not to bad. Its really close to being zeroed in at 75yrds. ran out of ammo. Not the best at sighting in new scopes. those the reason for running out of ammo before I was done sighting it in

Attachment 64324 The bottom one is my ruger 10/22 the top is my Remington 700. I know this is a .22 forum but I only had this pic of the .22. I plan on swapping the barrel to a heavy profile or a tactical solutions barrel. I will add a bipod and mlock bipod adapter as well.
Some damn nice rifles on here!!!
My very first gun, a 1952 Remington 514 single shot, handed down to my from my oldest brother as a Xmas present when I was ~10 or so. Approx. 1966.

My Marlin Model 60DLX, nothing fancy, just pretty. Bought it from a member here.

So I was trolling this thread when I came across Hosers Anschutz 2018. So how many rounds to a lot and how many lots do you normally test? Is it enough to get you through a season of practice and matches, is that the idea behind it? Man that thing looks awesome!
A "lot" of Eley ammo is many thousands of rounds. Like a pallet of ammo.Quote:

Once they find a good lot of ammo they buy a case or five of ammo.
I buy a case or two of ammo that shows promise. And Eley isn't cheap so buying 15-20K isn't something I can sneak past my bride.
I understand the arithmetic of your statement, and I must say that your wife is a trooper, and a true find. Well done.
Before 22lr became a "rare commodity", I don't think many outside the competition/precision community had any idea you could spend that much on rimfire ammunition.
ETA: I am not a member of said community, but I'm a bit of an info junkie, and have long been aware of this market.

New Anschutz 1727. 22 LR.
GRS Stock, S&B 5-20 Ultra Short, H2CMR reticle, Seekins rings, integral Gemtech Mist can. I had a choice on the stock, traditional German style made from black Walnut or something I can use at the range instead of plinking at critters.
I am very happy with it so far. At 200 yards I was holding about a 2 inch group in light and switchy winds.
The Fortner/straight-pull/Biathlon action is really fast. Open with your trigger finger, close by pushing the back of the bolt closed with your thumb.

Yes please!Quote:

My new Vudoo in MPA Lite chassis

That is too cool. Cant wait to see it in person.
With my lovely bride working on Christmas, I decided to take my 40X Rimfire family to the range for Christmas.
All 4 suppressed, no plugs needed. TBAC Take-Down, Jet Integral, TBAC 6.5 Ultra 7, Shark 308.
Shot 2-3 MOA sized steel out to 220 yards and testing out some new close range (50 yards) targets to be 100% sure my welds were solid before Saturdays Prone and PRS matches.
Still not sure if the Manners stock will stay. Might end up with another AI chassis or maybe a MPA.

At 615 yards (37.4 elevation, 4.0 wind) I managed about a 10-12 inch group. At least with the 4 that connected. Absolutely no clue where one of the shots went nor do I know which shot out of 5 missed. Even with Charlene spotting, hits on steel and misses in the dirt were impossible to see with the mirage. I hoped painting the targets white would help, but it wasn't enough.
The magnetospeed T-100 strobe didn't work too well with the angled/hinged target and only lit off a few times. No biggie. Next time I will use a 12 inch diamond target on conveyer belt. This "ABC" target is about 12 wide and 18 tall.

Nice shooting Hoser!
We've had ours out to 520. Vudoo was at 4.5" group, 3 shots, 2 off target trying to deal with the erratic wind.
Here's two that we haven't shot yet-

I recently spent a bit of time researching mounts/rings when I was futzing with my little setup and looking forward to what I want for the next. Went down a more than just a few Google holes in the process & Yep, I'm a fan of that right there.
My son's CZ455 and my 40X repeater down at PWSA for the last rimfire matches.

My Vudoo V22 is being built, can't wait for it to get here. I'll have to look for that mount, or at least the Hawkins rings with the top rail.

Is that a straight pull?

Wow, amazing rifle.
1727 is straight pull action.
Yup. Basically an 1827 Biathlon Fortner action that has been made with mounting a scope in mind. Mounting a scope on my 1827 was a huge pain in the ass.Quote:

Why so much suppressor and so little barrel?
Looks pretty awesome though.
Because silence is golden.Quote:

S&B 3-20x50 in a Spuhr mount on top.
I also had the barrel modified to a "cone" breech face to give more room for gunk to go when shooting suppressed.

So for now those are just fun rounds. Neither CCI quiet nor the Aquilla will cycle the pistol though. I need to try the CCI quiet for semi-auto and see how those do. I haven't gotten to test any of my cans at a range yet.
