Thanks so much Chad for a great build. You've been great to work with. And thank you, Jon, for your outstanding work as well.

Re: Black Beauty

I appreciate the nice comments. I've had a number of custom builds in the last twenty years but never had one with the build documented from start to finish. Chad enclosed a photo CD with pictures of each process and a spec sheet that listed critical dimensions and inspection data. Outstanding attention to detail. Chad Dixon is the real deal.

The older I get, the more I try to simplify. I like stuff that works and NF works for me. I ran Leupolds for years, then had a few S&Bs, but couldn't afford them for all my rifles, so I sold all my optics and went with NF NXS...all Mildot MOA. Keeping it simple.

Re: Black Beauty

What a well thought out trainer. I am excited to see your range report. Chad Dixon is turning up in more and more threads I have been reading lately.

Re: Black Beauty

Once again, thanks for the kind words on my rifle build. I did make it to the range last week but did not have any Eley ammo to try. Chad used an Eley reamer on this barrel. I only took Wolf and Federal with me to shoot at 100 yards. The Wolf agged 1.34" for (8) 5 shot groups with quite a bit of vertical and the Federal agged 1.26" with vertical as well.

I'm sure that the rifle is capable of much better with true Match ammo. But, it was built as a trainer and not a BR rig. This rimfire is a whole new game but should be fun.

Re: Black Beauty

Rimfires are fun but puzzling. I still haven't obtained any premium ammo but so far the best agg and individual group came with Federal Champion....Agged 1.20" with a single best 5 shot group of 0.50" at 100 yards. Part of this could be breaking the barrel in as well. I'm having fewer WTF? flyers now. I'll post again after I have wrung it out a bit more.

Re: Black Beauty

oh I like. I just got a 40x and love it.

You should do the rimfire tac match at the top of the rimfire thread. lots of fun. and keep a couple of extra targets just for screwing around.

Regards,
DT
