    223/for distance

    It'll be because it's meant to cater toward Mill/LE, where guys in theory could run factory ammo which for the most part tops out at 77gr SMK/TMK loads for 223 and 175gr SMK/TMK or 178gr 308 loads. Hence the speed limit too.

    T1x ACE in Hand - Review - Pictures - Info - Thoughts

    No I haven't tired any internal or external weights yet. Sounds like the low Mlok slots are an issue on a few factory rifle chassis, definitely an oversight. I'll try talk to Beretta NZ if I get the chance and let them know my thoughts, I know they were keen for people to start getting these...

    T1x ACE in Hand - Review - Pictures - Info - Thoughts

    I know Orkan pushed pretty hard the idea that long barrels were more consistent, apparently had shot a lot of different lengths. I've never seen anyone make a claim to the contrary, so put me in the camp of believing it now. I was at a comp the other day and heard a couple of guys talking about...

    Victrix or ??? Factory class PRS22

    @savage dave did you end up buying a Victrix? I was quite tempted by a Venus Pro but hit the buy button. The new Anschutz 1761 APR Gen2 looks like a sweet rifle, personally I would lively go that direction rather than a Victrix.

    KRG Bravo Tikka T1x Balance

    This thread just popped up for me again. Did you end up doing the rebarrel? My barrel is finally extracting reliably (after a lot of frustration), wish I'd gone for a straight contour but it's shooting pretty well now.

    T1x ACE in Hand - Review - Pictures - Info - Thoughts

    My 16" T1x was never any good at distance, some ammo was ok but it was very picky on ammo (at distance). Inside if 150m it wasn't too bad but 200m+ was never much fun. The vertical matches the ES of the ammo, so it could just be the ammo sucks but also could be the barrel producer produces...

    T1x ACE in Hand - Review - Pictures - Info - Thoughts

    Here are targets from first outing, conditions weren't great 5 o'clock wind around 6mph gusting 12mph+. I hadn't lightened the trigger or spent anytime adjusting the stock (only cheek piece) and was a fairly rushed outing. First 2 pictures are 10x 10 shot groups, all at 30m (33yards), vertical...

    T1x ACE in Hand - Review - Pictures - Info - Thoughts

    So I managed to pick up a T1x ACE, 22lr 20" barrel. A few arrived into New Zealand last week and managed to pick one up. This was a rifle I was very interested in (along with many others) so thought I'd share my findings, there isn't any good reviews out there, just influencer BS and people...

    RimX vs Vodoo V-22 vs Tikka T1x ACE

    If you can't be the part, at least look the part.

    RimX vs Vodoo V-22 vs Tikka T1x ACE

    I'm not trying to scare you off a Tikka build but there's a reason the R700 22lrs have taken over the precision 22lr scene. I don't even own a Vudoo, I went down the rebarrel Tikka path. While it shoots great and functions reliably (after a lot of re-work and headaches), I going straight for a...

    RimX vs Vodoo V-22 vs Tikka T1x ACE

    All things being equal being the important part. CZ/bergar/T1x are all mass produced guns, whereas Vudoo/RimX are less so. I certainly agree that a good barrel on any of the other options can shoot as well as a Vudoo/RimX but if money isn't an option going straight into a R700 style action is...

    RimX vs Vodoo V-22 vs Tikka T1x ACE

    Carbon fibre is good for saving weight, looking cool, and costing more money. If you are going to compete you want as fat and long possible. A straight (no taper) or heavy contour that is 20" minimum (24"+ preferred) is what you'll need to balance the rifle for NRL/PRS 22. For other types of...

    RimX vs Vodoo V-22 vs Tikka T1x ACE

    The general consensus is that Vudoo/RimX are no more accurate than a good Tikka/Bergara/CZ but across the board are more accurate and reliably accurate. Less fussy with ammo, better accuracy with a wider variety of ammo. Some guys will shoot just as well with a CZ457 with a new barrel and...

    RimX vs Vodoo V-22 vs Tikka T1x ACE

    All suppressors behave differently, but some are very sensitive to fouling and can cause huge changes in how bullets behave. Some people claim to never clean a 22lr suppressor ever and it shoots just fine, but that's not been my experience. I had one suppressor that all would just open up...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Sounds like the StaBall Match isn't as close to Varget as I thought it was. My Varget loads with 75gr BTHPs were barely breaking 2600fps whereas I ended up using Benchmark and am getting 2750ps with 75gr BTHPs and 2780fps with 73gr ELD-Ms. Factory Tikka barrel which does appear to be slow from...

    Rifle Scopes Which Crossover Scope would you choose?

    Not sure if I made it clear in my post or not but I was meant to say the Viper HD 3-15x44 would make a great crossover scope and the 2-10x42 an MPVO. Assuming a Mil, FFP version of each it wouldn’t take much to make these some of the better options on the market. The VMR-4 as is would be good...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    I thought that barrel looked like a thick boi. That seems pretty fast for an 18" barrel, my Tikka was really slow with Varget, ended up with Benchmark and 73gr ELDs.

    What barrel length and what loads are you running? Rifle looks cool AF.

    Rifle Scopes Which Crossover Scope would you choose?

    Mildly off topic but I agree that the exposed windage is the biggest let down of the PST Gen2. The 2-10 reticle is a bit crap and it's kinds heavy, but the exposed wind is the main reason Ill never get one. The 3-15 PST Gen2 has been one of my favorite scopes for a long time but having had the...

    Another plane crashed, but in Canada this time

    They would've said something but it would've been very cryptic. The aircraft could very well spit out a report automatically in which case they an just advise maintenance the report generated automatically and not sure why, maintenance will then investigate. I've seen in many times where the...
