Torque action screwsI have a prs2 right now and the guy that set it up done so flawlessly. It runs like a swiss watch. But wanting to try a matrix chassis. Anybody had issues with the matrix? Or how hard will it be to set up
Yep ! Been waiting on my Bartlein for 3months 1 week and 4 days ! Went with a faster progression for long range. Right now the 14t shilen shoots the best past 400 they all run close at 50 Proof ,shilen and GM.It shoots well, I had initial problems apparently related to chamber chamfer, rechambered locally with a modified 52D reamer and it performs great now. After reading the barrel test I decided to try a Krieger (Bartlein wait was too long) and am using Jonathan after hearing glowing reports about him. Love the triggertech trigger and just moved it from an MDT chassis to MPA.
Not gonna be much better balance wise. Still rear heavy even with the a419 5 weight railUsing a Matrix here. Totally reliable feeding but it’s heavy for PRS 22 and very butt heavy. Will be switching to a Manner’s PRS stock As soon as I can get one!
Bison Tactical has Bartlein prefits in stock.Yep ! Been waiting on my Bartlein for 3months 1 week and 4 days ! Went with a faster progression for long range. Right now the 14t shilen shoots the best past 400 they all run close at 50 Proof ,shilen and GM.
Not the twist I've got coming in I'm gonna start it at 28" work it in to find the best performance at 600 yds. I shoot 200 plus primarily .Bison Tactical has Bartlein prefits in stock.
It sure is! 455yds is my personal best with 22lr on a Pdog to date. I've hit some further, but I refused to count them until I had one laying there dead.The RimX and my friend’s Bergara tag teamed this sod poodles at 366 yards. Shooting 22lr at that distance on prairie dogs is an absolute riot and it’s great practice off the tripods.
I have two friends who shoot them and get really good results, they both run the 24 but I got the 20. Just waiting on my action to try it for myself.Any one have experience with Bison Tactical barrels? The test targets they show are impressive plus the accuracy guarantee and test target furnished is hard to beat. I have a Krieger barrel being chambered by Jonathan Elrod who does their barrels. He has a long history of 22rf work and is recommending a modified JGS match reamer that has performed very well in his testing. After having the GM barrel I got with my action finally up and running, I am looking forward to the next step.
I have a PVA 1:12 24" on my RimXAnybody running the patriot valley barrels
According to the PVA website and Tom at Go Big Tactical Lothar provides the barrels for PVA.Can someone confirm that the PVA RimX barrels are from Lothar Walther ?
Thank youAccording to the PVA website and Tom at Go Big Tactical Lothar provides the barrels for PVA.
Have you found any bullets to work better than others? I was pretty disappointed with the amount of dogs that take hits to the chest and then just scamper away and make it back down a hole instead of dying quickly. My guess is that it's just the nature of the beast with a slow cartridge at extended yardages but it would be nice to have them anchored a little quicker.It sure is! 455yds is my personal best with 22lr on a Pdog to date.

No such thing with a 22lr at distance. I've hit them with all manner of bullets and the only ones that flatten them are segmented hollow points... but they are not accurate enough for consistent distant impacts, so... it is what it is.Have you found any bullets to work better than others?

What you dont reliaze is you are actually operating in LEAN manufacturing environment. You have by default eliminated WIP work in progress while establishing the same end results. You do not have to transport a shovel, dig a hole or handle the product. During your transaction therefore making it more efficient. They dig their own holes and bury themselves right before your eyes at any distance , without you having to move. I would reccomend you send your barreled action to a proven test facility, to have ammunition that they make matched to it. This will decrease your shot dispersion and allow for more head shots. It will also allow for you to examine your end product , but remember you will be subverting back to a time proven process which is a old standard.Have you found any bullets to work better than others?

That's exactly what I figured. For our acrobatic fun we did 80 grainers out of our 22 Creeds. It was electrifying.No such thing with a 22lr at distance.

I don't concern myself with the ethics of shooting prairie-destroying vermin. A bullet in them, is success. When I want to see the fun acrobatic stuff, I load up some 50gr at 4000fps in an 8 twist 22 creed.
It just sucks when you don't get trophy photos. Pics or it didn't happen? lolWhat you dont reliaze is you are actually operating in LEAN manufacturing environment.

You got a shooter , woke up here in East Texas this morning in the mid 50's !Not bad at all, just getting a zero, windy day, cold front passing through.
In order of appearance 10 shots, 12, shots, 5 shots. Some old Lapua Midas M
Son in-law, nephew and I ran a couple of stages from the NRL22 June COF, rifle made everyone look good.

Would you please be so kind and share your experience / observations on this very subject?So once you fixed your magazine height to what is required it worked?
What chassis/stock/bottom metal?Would you please be so kind and share your experience / observations on this very subject?
I'm asking because I run into some trouble setting the mag height correctly. After 3 - 4k rounds with the rimx and having failures to eject every 60 to 100 rd's I discovered that my mags may be adjusted to high. The rim of the extracted round hits the mag feed lips slightly and jumps out before reaching the ejector. But it seems to me that the mag needs to be all the way up to allow correct feeding.
Is it just a "sweet spot" between the two ?
If your having extraction issues pull bolt clean under extractor remove all build up with plastic pic. Examine micro edge of extractor if it looks like one in pic that's chipped away give Ray a hollar for new one.Would you please be so kind and share your experience / observations on this very subject?

The only time I have ever had ejection issues is when I do not run the bolt all the way back (short stroke) or really slow.3 different chassis , Oryx, ACC, and a Vision. Happens in all 3. Extractor and tensioner where replaced, but extraction is not the issue anyway. Happens relatively rarely, sometimes I run 8 mags without failure.
This is what I thought is happening too for the first couple of 1000 rd'sThe only time I have ever had ejection issues is when I do not run the bolt all the way back (short stroke) or really slow.
i use metric allen keysI’m guessing every chassis requires a different mag catch height and feed lip height.
here was my process: I loosened the magazine adjustment about a few thousand at a time and retighten until there was very little play in The mag and it still dropped free.
I cycled dummy rounds and adjusted as needed, for me in an MPA chassis the measurement (adjustment) was approximately .45.
the second magazine I just adjusted to .45 no trial and error fitting, works just like the other.
zero malfunction so far.
Where does it say anything about feed lips rubbing the bolt? If your running some reverse engineered copy of an AICS chassis you can have trouble with your rimfire.Honestly, that doesn't sound like very good advice. There's a mile of mag malfunctions between "mag just catches on mag-latch" and seating high enough that feed lips rub the bottom of the bolt. It's all that space in between that people are trying to nail down.
Thats a copy of Travis Stevens email to me about adjusting my magazinesYour post didn't. It was vague. The feed lips will rub the bottom of the bolt if you adjust the mag high enough.
No doubt Travis Steven's does a fantastic job, but what you posted is vague and not clear. Basically says, "...somewhere between the mag latch catching and not too high because the the mag will top out on the receiver..". And actually it will top out on the bolt body.
Good luck! The rifle is certainly not going to hold you back!Headed to the Chattanooga Rifle Club in the morning to shoot their version of a NRL22x/PRS rimfire match with my son in-law. 200 & 300 yards.
I am having a rifle built by Joe Chacon and he definitely recommends Shilen ratchet (seems to be the go to for benchresters). I got mine in the mail yesterday and will ship it to Jonathan Tuesday. He did a superb job on my Kreiger with his chamber. He texted me just after sending me the Krieger and said that the Kreiger like mine with the chamber he has changed to was used by Chris Simmons to win the NRL national championship. Pretty good credentials plus he is a great guy to work with and has good turnaround time.Yep ! Been waiting on my Bartlein for 3months 1 week and 4 days ! Went with a faster progression for long range. Right now the 14t shilen shoots the best past 400 they all run close at 50 Proof ,shilen and GM.
24" I asked Joe for a recommendation. He said he had surveyed lots of winning 22 shooters and the majority said they had found that best for accuracy. The good thing is, it is easy to shorten one, not to easy to make it grow. I sent the barrel off today and this will give me a chance to compare it with the Shilen, plus, I will be able to try out his tuner. He sets them up using the Purdy formula which from what I have read on other sites seems to work and eliminate a lot of burned testing ammo. I just got in touch with Jonathan. He says Chris Simmons barrel was 20" his is 22. My Kreiger is 22. I'll compare the 2 when I get the Shilen. I have a local guy who can give me a 2 day turnaround if I decide to go shorter.How long are you going on the barrel?
