If you're looking for suggestions, I say leave it "as is" and put some nice peep sights on it. [Awesom]
No, no, no, Ray. The correct answer is to sell it to me!
Nice find. If I ever find one, I'll put together a .22 trainer like Hoser's. AICS chassis, decent glass.
Nice rig Chop!
Put me on the short list when you get bored with her!
If anyone wants to go rimfiring, let me know, I would love to go play sniper and learn some tricks from you guys
Planning on a stock swap, probably a manners T5, try out one of the new bushnell elites mil/mil, and she how she shoots. Then I'll decide to shorten the barrel or go aftermarket. I absolutely love the fact that this is a full size rifle and will probably let the savage go to fund new stuff. Probably never find decent ammo to try it out anyway!
Bruno Shooting Supplies had some decent target ammo left. As expected, their prices are a bit inflated but, if you need some .22LR right now, they got it.Quote:

You can also spend a little bit more and get others like Eley Tenex but, for the type of shooting that I do, the less expensive ones have served me well.
I got real lucky with my 40X. It shoots Eley Blue EPS quite well.
I can put 60 shots (an International Prone Match) inside 1 centimeter at 50 yards.
I got even luckier when I bought two cases of it a few years back for $230 a case.
Mine shoots Eley Back and Red just as well. Another good flavor for my 40X and Sportsmans Team Challenge 10/22 is Eley Biathlon (not made anymore) and Lapua Polar Match.
Congrats on the 40X!
Don't be a tease, show him yours.Quote:

So I got it out today and shot it as is. What a friggin blast! Was just shooting mini mags as I wait for Bruno's to ship me some other flavors. I put on a Weaver Tactical I had sitting around and a cheapo weaver base with no MOA to it. So I sighted in at 50yds and played there for awhile, then went to 200 meters. Scope limitiations had me at 10 mil turret turn and a six mil hold over, so roughly 16 mils to 200 meters. I was fun as hell to watch that vapor trail and bullet drop out to target. This rifle is a blast and I see it being a very expensive .22lr once I'm done with it, but damn will it be worth it! Anyone have similar dope to 200m, I couldn't hold to 300, ran outta scope and stadia to get there. What moa base are you guys running to get to 300? Thanks, and I'm done, hook, line, and sinker!
Eley Target, 100 yard zero. I need 5.4 mrad to get to 200, 12 to get to 300. Scope base is 20 MOA.
