Just put a deposit on a RimX.
Any idea on current lead time?
I would see if you can get your deposit back and then order one from Front Range Precision llc. Then you'll have it by next weekend.

I checked everywhere but there. Deposit is non-refundable, looks like I might wind up with two.I would see if you can get your deposit back and then order one from Front Range Precision llc. Then you'll have it by next weekend.
Can't go wrong with thatI checked everywhere but there. Deposit is non-refundable, looks like I might wind up with two.
So I just around to digging back into this. I called Zermatt and was shocked that a real person picked up and was knowledgeable and helpful. I was waiting for a automated directory, and it caught me off guard, lol. A new extractor and tensioner are on the way.@serevince Before every match I check the following:
-Extractor on bolt head. I make sure the 1/16” sized set screw is snug. FYI there’s no spring behind it.
-Tensioner claw. I make sure it doesn’t look funky or bent in any weird way. The tiny claw is held in place by a spring and detent (pressure).
-Ejector. I make sure it doesn’t wiggle by pushing on it with my finger. Before putting the action in my chassis I added a drop of purple loctite to the screw that holds it on and snugged it up. It’s not really super accessible once the action is installed. There’s no spring here either. It’s a fixed object.
The ejector is attached to the action. It’s the “blade” thing poking up. If you peek in the port you can see it.So I just around to digging back into this.

In the mean time I replaced the extractor and now it does not eject at all. (I also noted my extractor appears to be the newer material). I came back here and re-read and it looks like I am missing some key knowledge?
I can ID the extractor, and the tensioner. Both appear to be in good shape.
What and where is the "ejector"?
Think I need to figure out the ejection issues before I tackle mag height tuning. (I can remove the mag and it still does not eject)
Heh it happens to us all.This thing ran shockingly well despite the idiot behind it leaving out 2 parts critical to extraction and ejection...
I'm going to have a running gun, and a dope at the next match.
Gonna need some news excuses. Damnit
Made a quick video.. about as far as I typically strip it down to for quick maintenance.Just got my rimx wanted to disassemble the bolt but I'm having trouble. I've already looked at the videos on how to disassemble the bolt the problem is I cant separate the body from the firing pin assembly. I can twist the fire pin assembly from the body and that's it. The fire pin assembly will not pull apart from the body what am I doing wrong

Lol. I dry fire a lot so I got very good at it.Now you're just showing off
Can you elaborate on what you mean by that? Do you remove the firing pin to dryfire? I always just strayed away from dryfiring rimfire rifles.Lol. I dry fire a lot so I got very good at it.
The beautiful thing with the rimx is that it is easy to remove the firing pin and dry firing it without the firing pin doesnt damage the action.Can you elaborate on what you mean by that? Do you remove the firing pin to dryfire? I always just strayed away from dryfiring rimfire rifles.
Correct. Zermatt recommends you remove the firing pin for dry firing. Last bullet point..

It is good to see I am not the only one with this experience. My initial order was a barreled action, nothing but problems. I had a local gunsmith who had never even heard of Rimx contact Ray and rechamber it for me after using a 6' bar to get the barrel off the action. Since then, I have had Jelrod (MODACAM) do 4 barrels for me including rechambering (he does Bison Tactical prefits) and they have all functioned flawlessly. He is great to deal with.Wow, I am surprised to see the responses here. Between me and my shooting buddies we have 5 RimXs. Only 1 was purchased as a barreled action, and it was also the only one to have a problem. The other 4 have prefits from PVA (don't recommend), straight jacket, and proof. It really isn't hard to put together, and if there is a major issue, whoever made the barrel better stand behind their work.
I just had him build me a Vudoo and his turnaround time was 3-4 weeks. Other times when he was busy it ran longer. His work is great. You might consider going with a Shilen ratchet. This is the 50 yd test target he sent me.View attachment 7882588

View attachment 7886273Christmas came early. The "Brown Santa" dropped off 2 packages: the 26" Vudoo Shilen barreled action and the Keystone 24" GM. Rimx prefit.
The Shilen has the EPS Ultimate chamber and the GM the Eachus.
John did a great job on the GM. I am looking forward to making a comparison between the 2 chambers before deciding on which to use with my other Shilen.. I am really intrigued by the Eachus chamber. It is super tight, but allowed me to chamber and extract unfired CCI SV, Eley, and SK. I am surprised because I had "heard" that tight chambers don't always allow this and both of these chamber engrave a good amount. What surprised me even moire is how tight the Eachus is. I have an Eley Ultimate reamer, which is a straight .220" which is one of the narrowest chambers I have seen listed. The reamer will not go into the Eachus chamber. It is very tight and probably explains why it performs so well. Lookig forward to wringing these 2 out.
I am totally impressed with the Keystone GM workmanship.
yesSilly question, the action does come with trigger pins???
Thank you both for the confirmation, action arriving any day and I had not thought about the trigger pins.Yes, and fortunately, unlike with my Vudoo, action, the pins actually fit,
Open it up as much as needed to positively close with additional clearance all the way around the resting bolt handle. Some stocks can easily accommodate the 20 degree swept back bolt of the RimX others cannot. That's pretty sweet setup, actually been thinking of going a similar route with my second RimX action, lightweight overall with a scope more in the 3.5 to 18 range and a suppressor.My new stock (Mesa Altitude) came in, opened it up to Hawkins M5 today, and could not believe how much I had to remove from the bolt handle inlet, and I could still remove a little more to get it to close a hair. Is this normal? I had the same amount of interference with my Bergara HMR stock.
I stayed light on the stock, it’s just at 9lbs for a plinker with the strike eagle on it. I would prefer not to carve up my new stock like this…View attachment 7901514View attachment 7901518
22rimfire long action????Is the RimX action a short action or long action?
Does anyone know of a 700 LA rimfire action?
When your rifle chassis costs $1000+ it'd be nice to share one chassis22rimfire long action????
Lol....or have 2 or 4 or 6 $1000+ chassis...just a thought. What do I know....or get a cheaper chassis....another thought.When your rifle chassis costs $1000+ it'd be nice to share one chassis
Please remember that not everyone may have the purchasing power you may have to buy multiple $1000+ chassis'. Also, purchasing a cheaper chassis defeats the purpose of having a matching training rifle for a larger caliber rifle.Lol....or have 2 or 4 or 6 $1000+ chassis...just a thought.

KRG Bravo is a great budget chassis to look into.Please remember that not everyone may have the purchasing power you may have to buy multiple $1000+ chassis'. Also, purchasing a cheaper chassis defeats the purpose of having a matching training rifle for a larger caliber rifle.
