    Volquartsen Summit on chassis vs. Kidd supergrade

    Took this out back today and ran 70 mixed brand leftovers as fast as I could through it. No failures at all and only a couple rough feeds that still cycled with a little extra force. No extraction fails either. (Mixed brand leftovers means cci,aguila, geco, thunderturds, sk and ancient...

    Kidd Barrel for 10/22, discount?

    Suppressed I use 16.5” threaded ss bull barrel on my supergrade. When not using a can I have a 18” leightweight or a 20” ss tapered barrel installed. I prefer the 20” tapered for unsupported offhand shooting but for belly steel competition I will use the 16.5” bull barrel. If I was forced...

    Volquartsen Summit on chassis vs. Kidd supergrade

    If you can get it to work reliably then the summits are a lot of fun. I fought lever tension and feeding/extraction issues for a couple of years on my summit fedderson build before it got fairly decent. The barrel shim spacing is very critical and summit/volquartsen’s instructions are not...

    Accessories Dead Air KYMO Keymount Saker adapter and muzzle brake EDIT ADD : Sold

    Package deal for the pair. I would rather give first chance at a decent price to the community here first as I’m sure it would sell higher on gb in this environment

    Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

    Depends. Rimfire harmonics and positive barrel vibration compensation are real world issues. Hence why serious rimfire benchrest guys use a tuner since we cannot do powder load ladder testing like on our centerfire rifles. You are also starting to see tuners creep into centerfire events as...

    Accessories Dead Air KYMO Keymount Saker adapter and muzzle brake EDIT ADD : Sold

    Plans did not work out to convert everything to Dead Air’s keymod mounting system so these two items have to go. One each keymod mount adapter for Silencerco Saker series and one each Dead Air 30 caliber keymo brake. Adapter is brand new in the box and the brake has 42 rounds of 6.5 creedmoor...

    Kidd Barrel for 10/22, discount?

    Only Kidd discounts I have ever seen are free shipping on Black Friday. Still worth it even with their recent price increase. Cost of everything going up now, but hey, stimulus $.

    Tikka T1X

    Tuners work better with longer smaller profile barrels. They will still work with a short thick barrel like an MTU but there will be less nodes and lesser effect because of the harmonic differences. I intend to play with a tuner on my T1x. So far the tikka has performed very well in stock...

    Question - Running a barrel before the end of the chassis.

    I roll my own, what exact diameter and how long do you want it? I’ll see what type of scrap I have laying around in the brass bin. You pay shipping. See thread protector on this 1712 that weighs in at a portly 8lb 6 oz all in.

    The Kestrel Killer?

    Yea, more hopium bottled in a container of unobtanium. I gave up waiting for this and got in on cameralandny's kestrel deal last summer and it has been very useable in it's stock form that isnt upgraded yet.

    Question - Running a barrel before the end of the chassis.

    I had a long post typed out about how you are maybe just a little tiny bit overly obsessed with weight. But you know what, it's your rifle to do with as you please. Some guys like em big. :D (dont take this as personal, not an attack on you) 22LR does not generating the amount of gas volume...

    Appleseed Question

    I have shot a 240 out of 250 with a CZ457 and a SWFA 3-15 set at 3-6x for most of the event. Using a bolt action will make you definitely learn how to use the ”rifleman’s cadence” and it is very doable. Make sure that you have means to attach a sling on the forearm of your chassis, quick...

    Impact of cold on rimfire ammo

    If that is more 200 yard testing I am impressed as you are seeing the mv spread difference with small wind variances. Nice shooting!

    Anschutz 64s

    That rifle pictured looks like an anschutz SBR (short barrel, benchrest stock). Anschutz north america usa sold out of those 64 action rifles about 4-5 years ago with a msrp of roughly $1100. It is the lighter 64 action, not the arguably more desirable 54 action that is heavier and retails...

    .22 or .17 hmr

    If you want to shoot any steel matches they usually only allow 22lr as 22 mag and 17 will chew up the typical 22 steel targets in short order.

    Looking for input from an electronics technician.

    This is just like the magnet on your fuel line “Econimizer” bs that would straighten and align your liquid fuel flow for better economy back in the 1990’s. If anything this thing looks like a potential hazard as the pictures of the plug only show 2 prongs (line, neutral) without the third...
