Thanks! I can’t wait to get some more range time with it because I know I’m the weak link and can tighten things up a little.RETE8, great looking rifle! No surprise, it looks like a shooter too. I have it on the results.
Great looking rifle and nice groups.Inaugural 6x5 run with my new V22. Can't wait to get more range time with this thing. Ordered a couple of LOP spacers and getting used to the TT trigger

Yes, I don’t have a lot of Center X right now, so I used one box for zeroing and getting familiar with it and one box for the 6x5.Great looking rifle and nice groups.
Out of curiosity, did you shoot top row left to right, then bottom row left to right?
TIA.
Appreciate the response.Yes, I don’t have a lot of Center X right now, so I used one box for zeroing and getting familiar with it and one box for the 6x5.
I am still trying to find the right stock weld and I like the trigger, it’s just a lot wider than I am used to on my other rifles that is going to take getting used to.
Good point...I will watch that next range trip.Appreciate the response.
The reason I asked was because my groups often look similar. The groups 2 and 4 (middle column) look best compared to my left and right column groups. Best I can surmise is that I probably am trying to “muscle it” instead of re-establishing a better natural point of aim. May not be the case for you, but reviewing my targets, that’s definitely the pattern I see in my 6x5s, although now smaller as I gain more experience.
YMMV and happy shooting
Another alternative is HDPE culverts. You can find them at Menards. An example included. I believe they have 24", 36" and 48" by 20 feet long.Tomiboy,
Is that the same tunnel that Harold Vaughn built while he was writing his book "Rifle Accuracy Facts"? I'd sure like to be able to find some 4' dia concrete pipe in those 34' long sections that he wrote about to build myself a shooting tunnel here on the farm.
I have you updated. It looks like your consistency has improved from the last few targets. The more I look at it all in all that is a pretty damn good target. What was the wind doing while you were shooting?Went out in the drizzle to try applying some fundamentals advice from @jbell ...
still a work in progress but i like to tell myself that i see improvement.

If you're able to make an ARA Match in McCook and your farming schedule allows for an extra day, my tunnel is another 1 1/2 hrs NE in Cozad, NE.If I were going to build a shooting tunnel to bury, it wouldn't need to be 4' diameter; 100yds of the plastic 4' dia culvert would cost over $16.000! But if I could find used 4' concrete at a reasonable cost, it wouldn't need to be buried. Obviously, I've got more questions than answers at this point; whatever route I decide to take, I'd want to make darned sure it was shootable - have read several comments stating that some shooting tunnels are just not usable due to mirage inside.
Thanks Wind was actually being rather kind, 0-5 mph, but as usual the direction was everything at once - anything from the left hemisphere or vertical down (the range is across a mountain gully) . I suspect the swirling winds, to an extent, are self cancelling ? Ie if you have a following wind for part of the flight path and a head wind for the other end and nothing much happening in the middle the effects will to an extent cancel ?I have you updated.

That looks like it could get spicy...Thanks Wind was actually being rather kind, 0-5 mph, but as usual the direction was everything at once - anything from the left hemisphere or vertical down (the range is across a mountain gully) .

The map below shows the 100m and 200m ranges. The wind is either 'warmer' wind from the valley moving left to right across the firing direction with cold air falling in from behind and in front, or cold wind falling from right to left across the firing direction with cold air falling in from behind and in front.

Thank You sir. I have another unfired one. I also have a 455 and 457, but they don’t compare.Appalachian, nice shooting with the 452 American! I have you on the results. I had a wood stocked American that would hammer, I never should have sold that little rifle...
Thank you!!Wile2K, I have you on the results. Great looking rig!
It will shoot much better. You see those stray shots that are outside the main group? You won't see them any more.That vudoo is taking too long . It will be interesting to see how it shoots compared to the old cz.
Looks like my CZ 452 Deluxe. Its all I have to play with while I'm waiting for my Vudoo. They are good fun but.
@Appalachian These Lapua Test Ctr results are 50m or 100m?A new PB for me at 100 yards. Funny thing is I went to the Lapua testing center a few days ago. I got to take home 400 rounds of one of the lots I chose because it was all that was left of that lot anyway. This target was shot with a random lot I already had. I can’t find the target I shot today with the tested Ammo. I didn’t think this one was that good until I got home and measured it.
Today is the first time I’ve used proper wind flags. I don’t think it helped today though as they were all blowing different directions if moving at the same time. I can’t think that fast. The wind was overall mild though. I did manage to watch the flags with the left eye while aiming with my dominant right simultaneously a few times.

If I could just get it to do this. This is with just one action screw. I accidentally left the rear action screw bolt at home. View attachment 7607216
Those are some great looking results. I would love to see what they look like at 50m.
