Rimfire bolt action question

[wtburnette]

Wow, very nice. I might have to order some of that...

I bought the rprr in 17hmr. I really like it. You can't go wrong with a cz for decent accuracy.

I have a CZ 455 Tactical and I love it. If you ever want to make any upgrades get the Fly Weight trigger. Although expensive it is worth’s the money. Getting a DIP rail is the way to go as well!

I haven't posted in this thread for a while, so I thought I'd add a few pics.

Recent pic of the gun (with old scope):

New scope mounted:

First trip to the range to dial in the scope at 50 yards (didn't have time to go to 100 yards):

Best groups:

Okay, I was wrong. I measured again and the groups were more like .32, .32 and .38. The .25 was .38. Thought that looked weird...

Ammo?

 

[wtburnette]

Most of the time I was using CCI SV. The pink dot next to the dime and the green dot marked .30 in the pic are both using Wolf Match Target. I really need to do an ammo test to see what this rifle likes. I can't afford to shoot match grade stuff a lot, preferring to shoot CCI SV most often. I don't mind buying expensive ammo once in a while to see what the gun will do. I don't plan to compete, but just shoot for the fun of it.

I like that Ruger thumbhole! I have the plain plastic stock Ruger American carbine in 22 Mag but I can see myself with a 22lr version somewhere down the road. I think I will probably get a stainless version as I have no stainless rimfire rifles.

Some years ago I planned to buy an Anschutz 64 MPR as the price then was not too out of reach. Waited too long and the price went way up! I did meet a guy with a 64 MPR and was able to shoot it and it turned in a pretty nice group for me.

My best out of the box 22 rifles in regards to accuracy have been my two CZ 452s. One was bought new in 2002 for $189 - it is the Special now called a Trainer. The other is an American bought new in 2008 for $339 if I recall correctly. I was out shooting the older CZ yesterday and it turned in a couple of fairly nice groups despite the breezy conditions with Wolf Match Target. I have an old Burris 12X on it.

Also have a 10/22 Deluxe with Volquartsen barrel that is a really good shooter.

Sounds nice! My other .22 bolt action rifle is an Anschutz 1700 FWT that is very accurate. Started me in this whole rimfire craze!

My dad just gifted my 2 daughters with a Nylon 66, each! He won't tell me what they cost, but know he has had a long time and found them just for this purpose. I know he says he had one a long time ago, way before my time.

I wanted one of those back in the '60's. A friend had one that would burst fire when it got REALLY dirty and gunked up.

I love my ruger precision I only shoot it 50-80 yards and its one of my favorite guns to shoot

Keystone Arms 722. I have the PT version and like it a lot. It's a shame their website is so poor (lacks any real information on the rifles beyond some photos and MSRP) and they don't advertise it at all anywhere. They are nice accurate little rifles. I wouldn't mind having the standard wood stocked version.

They have a 1 MOA guarantee ( which I think is pretty bold for a rimfire ) and the basic rifles run between $250 and $400.

Thats nuts! Did you have to thread your barrel yourself or is there a model with it?

It was threaded from the factory. The PT model with the chassis is a little more money. I think I paid $450 for it.
