Ruger 77/22 group pictures / info?

I love ruger bolt actions, they are built like tanks (their rifles and pistols, center and rimfire) plus they have a great look in my opinion.

however, with my experience with their centerfires, i could never get one to shoot close to an impressive or "acceptable" group at 100 yards, no matter what the load or caliber. i don't know if the 77/22 follows in their big brother's footsteps.

I'm wanting to build another silhouette hunting class rifle for next season, it's either going to be a CZ455 or i was contemplating a ruger 77/22 this morning.

would anyone like to share (if they have any) their 50 and 100 yard group pictures from a non accurized / tacticooled 77/22 sproter type barreled rifle?

Left Hand Sale WTS- Left Hand Bergara B-14R .22 LR Carbon Fiber Barreled Action

Looking to sell my Bergara B-14R .22LR left handed barreled action.

Includes:
-Bergara B14R .22LR Left hand barreled action with one magazine
-Spuhr 20 moa scope base (installed)
-Triggertech left hand Special trigger (installed)

Action and barrel are in good condition and have approximately 1000 rounds through it. Decided to change things up and get a different rifle and no longer have a need for this. This is the 18" carbon fiber barrel which is factory threaded and comes with the original thread protector. I should still have the factory packaging for it and likely still have the factory trigger which I can include if you want it. Looking for $775 shipped CONUS from my FFL to yours. Ok for local pick up in/ around Chattanooga, TN with CHP. Paypal or Venmo.

MPA Chassis

I ordered an MPA chassis back in March and paid up front ($1575.00). At the time they stated max delivery time was 18 weeks. I never contacted them and waited patiently for 18 weeks. I was expecting a delivery of the chassis anytime back in July. They instead send me this email.

"We have decided to discontinue the Gun Candy Finish. I do apologize for this inconvenience but we strive to make our customers happy and send out the highest quality product we can. We are not satisfied with the quality and durability the Gun Candy finish leaves. Although the color looks great, slight imperfections are amplified and the overall quality of the appearance is just not up to our standards. We recognize the desire to offer amazing looking colors for distinct appearances, so we have added more custom cerakote colors to our website for you to choose from. I have copied the link below. Again, I do apologize for the inconvenience but we do feel the outcome will be much better. Let me know your thoughts and which color option will be the best alternative".

I told them my thoughts, which is I want what I already paid for and why did they wait to the 18 week mark to notify me?

So essentially they had not even processesed my order after 18 weeks ( I paid over $1500 upfront). I told them I was not happy and they said they are working on resolution with gun candy colors and it might take a few weeks. Was I willing to wait. Well Im now at 26 weeks and only received communication after I reached out to ask the status. Now they're telling me my choice is to either cancel the order, get an unpainted chassis or send it out for paint or pick an alternate basic color.

I do not buy their claim about the coatings. They are looking for ways to speed up the production process and dont want to take the time to do the job right. We all know their business is booming and they keep increasing their lead times. Their priority is volume and not the customer. What should have happened is they complete the original order, take the time to paint the chassis correctly, send me the order. Going forward for new orders they should cancel offering Gun Candy.

I highly recommend staying far away from buying MPA chassis and definetly do not pay them upfront. If you do order from them, do not pay upfront, expect longer than stated wait times, and expect little to no communication.

Salt water hot tub

So….entering into my pre-geeper years (62), and looking to rest / massage these tired muscles. Scoping out a hot tub. I can’t find a legit answer on salt water tub vs conventional. Those who sell salt water say they are THE shit. Those who sell conventional say salt water tubs ARE shit. Anyone here have any experience with either. Looking at Caldera and Cal spas. 2-3 person. No sex parties with the neighbors in a 6 person…..just me and the Mrs.

Night Vision Rh25 v2 troubleshooting

Has anyone experienced any issues with their rh25 v2?
Currently my symptoms are:

Buttons do not work (minus it will turn on)
No menu or hud display
It also does not auto rotate the image

The image is still fantastic albeit would be better if I had access to settings.

I haven't been able to find a single post, video or discussion anywhere on the web about V2 issues.

Donations for a young man

Ok everyone, here is the donation post! I have to thank powdahound76 for all his help to set this up.

Last summer a young man by the name of William Duffy was injured in an accident on their family farm in Torrington, WY. Unfortunately, William lost his right arm. We are asking the shooting community for donations so we can build this young man a left handed rifle so he can relearn how to shoot left handed and continue to enjoy shooting and hunting.

We currently have a Leofoto tripod, a Vortex 3-18 scope, and a Thunder Beast bipod all donated directly by their respective companies. Weatherby also donated a shotgun for the boys father.

If you want to donate but aren’t comfortable with electronic funds, please PM me here and I will provide you with a mailing address.

BMC Customs in Arizona is going to be assembling the rifle for us and he has also donated a custom paint job. Go check out his instagram page and his website, he does incredible work.

paypal.me/jessenichols88


Last but not least, a huge thank you has to go out to Ben Bercot at Western Whitetail LLC in North Platte, NE. He got the ball rolling on this and we are very excited and humbled to be helping out. Let’s make this happen!

Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 21MAR25)

Hello Snipershide!

Geissele Automatics has been offering Single Point Cut Rifled Barrels for close to two years now but they've been restricted to the 6 ARC Stratomatch or blanks that the end customer could have custom turned from barrel manufacturers like White Oak Armory.

Two weeks ago Geissele proudly released thier new 18" SPR Cut Rifled Barrels to the public.

At the time of their release I purchased 3 of the new SPR Barrels for testing and evaluation. Geissele seems to have paid close attention to the features customers want today.

Barrel description:

18" Single Point Cut Rifled
5 Right Hand Lands and Grooves
Geissele 3 Port Phased Array Gas System
416 Stainless Steel
1-7 Twist
.223 Match Chamber
5/8x24 Threads
Rifle Length Gas
.750 Gas Block Journal
M4 Feed Ramps
Bead blasted finish

The quality and the machine work on these SPR barrels are as good as they Come, truly impressive.

The SPR Barrel has a precise and clean cut 11° Taget Crown the is chamferred, delivering exceptional accuracy and greater protection.

20250307_212626.jpg


The Geissele Proprietary Phased Array Gas System utilizes a unique 3 Gas Port Design. Each Gas Port is .063" in diameter and is located at varying distances from the Gas Block Journal Shoulder with a milled spiral cut that Channels the gas from all three Gas Ports, equally dispersing gas pressure for a smoother recoil impulse resulting in faster Sight Recovery and Target Acquisition.

Each gas Port has a forward facing Teardrops Style Chamfer eliminating any possibility for developing a Burr at the Gas Port which can be detrimental to accuracy.

As I stated above the machine work on these Cut Rifled Barrels are truly a work of art, I've performed a Side-By-Side Borescope Comparison between a Craddock Precision Bartlein .223 and the new Geissele SPR barrel.
