1.2 or 1.25 is going to be the largest profile you will see MFG offer for any barrel. Lots of them are used on the RimX Actions.What is the heaviest 18” or 20” barrel profile this action can support?
The 18” or 20" Proof Competition Contour is probably the heaviest readily available one, it tapers from 1.25 to 1.01What is the heaviest 18” or 20” barrel profile this action can support?
It's nice to be able to take your buddy along shooting without having to worry about damaging his/her hearing, isn't it? I take my Australian shepherd/border collie cross along with me all the time; use Ultra 7 suppressor on every CF rifle I shoot, and 22TD on 22RF rifles if I'm just plinking. Std vel ammo doesn't make much noise when fired out of 22" bbls, especially with a tuner on the muzzle.Finally got the funds and pulled the trigger.
man this bolt is so smooth. 100% smoother than my 40x. live the metal mags. need to adjust the tab in back its missing some feeds but other than that an awesome day.

1.25" straight. and id guess you can run them much longer. i have a 32" 1.25" straight on an origin. i'm also guessing the tenon of the RimX is much strongerWhat is the heaviest 18” or 20” barrel profile this action can support?
There was a company that built a file for download and self print. I have a printer and have printed a few of them.
I have a free design here: https://rustynutsdesigns.com/products/xlr-bag-rider-stl-fileNice setup looks like a 3D printed bag rider. Do you know where can I get one of them ?
The file works great.I have a free design here: https://rustynutsdesigns.com/products/xlr-bag-rider-stl-file
If you need/want one and don't have a printer let me know.
Give Primal Rights, or Travis Stevens at TS Customs a call. It will be done right.We really need some more 17 WSM moderately priced barrel options. I ordered a Lothar Walther from OpticsPlanet 2 months ago and just recently contacted Lothar Walther to find out they don't even know when they'll be back in production. So here I sit with an action I can't use until I find a barrel maker that can do a prefit I can install myself.

Guy had one at the match yesterday, problems with the chassis and magazine position. I'd go with Primal RightsHas anyone purchased a RimX build from Altus shooting? Thinking of buying one but not sure if I should go through primal rights instead?
Probably your trigger, your chamber, or a combination of both.Shot my first match with my new Rim X on Sunday, but I was frustrated by the number of light primer strikes (truthfully, the dent in the rim looked normal compared to a fired case, but it did not ignite). It was very cold around or under 20 degrees with wind and I was shooting Eley Tenex. I had 6 of these instances out of ~ 100 shots and of those six, each time it was two bullets in the same mag that did not fire. The rest of the time it ran fine.
Can anyone offer some insight as to why this may be occurring, or common causes of failure to fire with this action? Is it improper magazine seating, temperature and bullet selection, etc? Like I mentioned I'm very new to this platform so my knowledge and experience with it are still minimal. I'm taking a half-day from work later this week to do some more shooting and ammo testing.

Which trigger do you think is best for rimfire?Probably your trigger.
Could you explain on how / why the trigger or chamber would cause the issue or how to diagnose it?Probably your trigger, your chamber, or a combination of both.
It’s a trigger tech special 2 stage for reference.Could you explain on how / why the trigger or chamber would cause the issue or how to diagnose it?
i couldnt run a TT diamond in mine. switched to a BnA and the issue went away. i did have to get the chamfer on my barrel redone and have an updated firing control group.It’s a trigger tech special 2 stage for reference.
What about your TT Diamond didn’t allow you to use it?i couldnt run a TT diamond in mine. switched to a BnA and the issue went away. i did have to get the chamfer on my barrel redone and have an updated firing control group.
with the ones that didnt go off, im guessing a second strike sets it off (recock on the light strike without extracting)
not sure. switched triggers and it went awayWhat about your TT Diamond didn’t allow you to use it?
I just had a special do the same thing in a 17WSM a couple weeks ago. 17WSM's are super notoriously hard rimmed though. Swapped to a diamond, and problem went away. Clearly some TT's have problems with some of these actions. Others go 10,000 rounds an no hiccup.I've had the same issue recently. The last three times I went out I've had half a dozen light primer strikes that went off the second time around that was never an issue before. I was thinking maybe it has to do with the cold I don't know? But I'm running a TT Special as well. I thought maybe there was just gunk in the firing pin channel but I've cleaned that every time and it still happens.
Do you generally see fewer problems with Diamonds as opposed to Specials, or is the defect percentage relatively equal?I just had a special do the same thing in a 17WSM a couple weeks ago. 17WSM's are super notoriously hard rimmed though.

This is the first time I've had an issue with a special. This special is probably pre-recall... but they didn't "recall" the specials either...Do you generally see fewer problems with Diamonds as opposed to Specials, or is the defect percentage relatively equal?
I don’t have this issue but for those that do. Would you recommend them contacting TT about a replacement? I find it interesting that the specials are now having some issues. I remember a thread here where Triggertech diamonds were having issues which I think you brought to light.This is the first time I've had an issue with a special. This special is probably pre-recall... but they didn't "recall" the specials either...
It should be noted that the same special works fine in a lone peak fuzion...
Just something specific about the action/trigger combo. They get right on the edge of correct sear engagement sometimes and just don't work.
People seem to think there's a "sure thing" trigger they can go to these days with every action. It's just not the case. No trigger manufacturer seems to be batting 100% with every action.
I let accuracy and precision lead my choices, and thus far the TT's sure do have great uniformity of ignition. (as long as the above problem isn't present)
Yes, I would. Historically they have been attentive.Would you recommend them contacting TT about a replacement?
Its the trigger you are using , had the same issue, use a trigger techShot my first match with my new Rim X on Sunday, but I was frustrated by the number of light primer strikes (truthfully, the dent in the rim looked normal compared to a fired case, but it did not ignite).

Anybody running a proof carbon? How is the accuracy in terms of groups? Ammo choice?
We will have some prefit 26" MTU's w/ EC tuners available soon.I am currently running a proof comp… it’s not bad but looking to improve. Any suggestions on a 22” barrel? Where to buy and type? I would like something a bit longer than 20”.
I went with Patriot Valley Arms but they are currently out of stock. No idea when they will have some. So I would recommend @orkan when he gets them in stock. The proof is further back in this thread.I am currently running a proof comp… it’s not bad but looking to improve. Any suggestions on a 22” barrel? Where to buy and type? I would like something a bit longer than 20”.
What kind of speed are you losing with a 26” barrel?We will have some prefit 26" MTU's w/ EC tuners available soon.

Curious as well how that affects things?What kind of speed are you losing with a 26” barrel?
1070'ish with most match ammo. If you're wondering about barrel lengths, I did content on it a while back.

Thank you I’ll check out their site.I'm pretty sure Keystone Accuracy has Green Mountain RimX barrels in stock cut to your contour, length, muzzle threads, etc

Not at the moment.Are you planning to offer anything faster than 16 twist?
