Centerfire PRS comp rifles with the longer barrels and the 20+ lbs of weight make sense for balance and taming recoil. For a 22, not so much maybe?
I’m thinking there may be distinct advantages to using a shorter-barreled, lighter weight rimfire rifle. For just about any stage, building and breaking positions should be easier and faster with a lighter, short-barreled rifle. I think this is especially true for those tricky stages where the rifle has to pushed through slots, slats, fencing, etc. If efficiency in building/breaking positions is improved, then there will be more time for acquiring targets, more time to break a clean press, and you get the idea. If something like this is set up correctly, then maybe it’s worth a few extra points in a competition?
So, I’m thinking about dusting off my Vudoo with the 18” Kukri and mounting it in a chassis like an MPA Hunter Comp.
Thoughts? Do any of you have experience with this?
