NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

Very nice. I've been wanting someone to make that. Huge market to help get those matrix and vanquish to balance. If you make more or anything add me to a list. Would love to buy one.

Isn’t it sad that the actual chassis shops can’t just solve this? MPA, MDT, how hard can it be?

I don’t want to even hear about all the variables. Almost every Rimfire needs weight added, is it because they won’t sell overpriced weights? Seriously, at the very least Foundation is trying with the Sampson.

You’d think that one of the big shops would’ve made something…
My approach is very modular. Want more cantilever, slide the weight out. Want less, slide the weight in. Was going to add m-lok, but realized it didn’t need it.
I actually removed 3 bridges after adding the tuner back in.

I don't know why GreyOps won't just make a heavy spigot weight. Instead they sell 4 pack weights internally and people only want the front 1 or 2, and they won't sell them separately...

Looks good. Why can these vendors just do the right thing? You did and they have all the resources and workers. Just stupid.

 

[ChrisKinsman]

Yes. Exactly. The spigot on the matrix pro is ripe to extend forward with a weight. A number of folks have built custom versions.

The nose weight for the acc premier gen2 needs to be made in multiple weights increasing by 4 oz at a time.

Both so much better than external weights as they extend further forward and have a longer moment arm.

Someone solves either of those I am in line to buy both.

 

[Shootin25]

Great report 25. Who's pipe does that rifle wear? She's a shooter!

@hoytenticer
Patriot Valley Arms 1.20 24” straight 12 twist.
No idea what chamber. Just told Josh I live in CA and ammo can be hard to get.

Josh uses my 22LR Match Eachus chamber

I mean I dont know anyone having custom rimx barrels spun up with loose bentz chambers unless its specifically requested...

The couple barrels he sent me to test all had my chamber, not at my request...

That may very well be the case, but seeing as how Shootin25 alluded to the fact that he shoots whatever ammo is available, I would bet $20 on the Bentz.

And of course Josh would send you barrels with your own chamber.

Inferences must have been covered after contractions and apostrophes.

Very sad that people are still selling bentz chambers for precision rifles.

 

[Shootin25]

Fellas, sorry I don’t know the specifics on chamber. I will follow-up to confirm.

But, it shoots pretty well with “almost” anything. Even Norma subsonic…

 

[littlepod]

It's all good. It's a RimX, you can buy and sell as many barrels as you want That's the great thing with them.

So without having to read through this whole thread, if I wanted a Rimix Shouldered prefit, Mullerworks 25 straight, what are the options out there?

Finding a MW blank is the problem. They pop up on Bugholes monthly but go fast..

And will Bugholes do a chamber and a shouldered prefit? Or do I need to find a separate smith?

 

[DownhillFromHere]

I asked SPR (Southern Precision Rifles, bugholes.com) two months ago about a MW prefit. Here's the meat of the reply:

"We're not fans of rimfire prefits - while prefits CAN work that's not a success ratio we're interested in. We have been very successful installing the barrel to the Rimx. We're charging $2100 with a MullerWorks barrel plus shipping and our normal leadtime is 6 months..."​

Patriot Valley Arms has RimX prefits available in 16 and 12 twist, although 12 is out of stock right now. Maybe @bohem Josh can fill you in if your heart wasn’t set on a MW.

This sport/hobby has become ridiculously expensive. At least with centerfire I can buy a premium chambered barrel for $800-$1000 and spin it on myself with great results.

If I had to guess I would bet that price was with an action also.

Rob’s right. At that price the action is obviously included!

It’s an Osprey barrel, correct, because they don’t state the barrel maker. I’ve looked there before.

Keystone offers Mullerworks I think, but I did not have a good experience with them at the beginning of my Rim-X journey. That ultimately pushed me back to my Vudoo’s which Bo still love but I need a longer heavier profile barrel. Or . . . . I just keep using my Arca weight.

 

[littlepod]

I would go Modacam. They are getting shipments regularly of Mullerworks and do great work and have a great chamber.

Their backlog i am guessing is around 3-4 months. Just call/place an order form.

 

[DownhillFromHere]

I would surely hope so. The email reply was only three sentences and didn't state for sure, but $2100 for a barrel is way too far over the top for any provider, let alone a well-respected outfit like SPR.

All of our 12tw RimX barrels are Lothar Walther, here's a screenshot from the product description as we've advertised since at least 2020.
