I've got the same barrel and waiting on my action. I'm definitely interested in your results. What ammo are you planning to use?
GOT a case of sk rifle match as well as some black box and lapua cen x. Hoping the RM as I have the most of it...

What post number? I’m not seeing the targets used in post 2813 of this thread.
Shot the regional finale today with the Keystone barrel. She did not let me down per usual. The RimX ran like a sewing machine. There was a 3 way tie for 10th in Open but I cleaned the PRS barricade and got the second fastest time for the entire match on it (Open). I’m not mad at today’s performance. Walked out of there with a cert for a free SAC comparator kit.

Thanks for the offer. I have everything but my snap on wrench is not breaking at my settings.

Just grab a Tekton for $45 and install your barrel. We aren't going to the moon here. Will do exactly what you need
TEKTON 1/2 Inch Drive Micrometer Torque Wrench (10-150 ft.-lb.) | 24335 https://a.co/d/63cYKmZ

I use a wrench I got off Amazon for my RimX barrel swaps. Per Zermatt’s instructions, barrels should be torqued 30-70 foot pounds. I torque my barrels to 45 ft lbs. Let’s say my wrench has a hypothetical 10% +/- accuracy tolerance which is stupid high. I’m still within spec. I always use the same wrench and same setting. Never had issues and accuracy is pretty damn good with the four RimX barrels I have. I’m no where near the amount padom has but again I’ve had zero issues to date.
With that said, my good wrench is a split beam from Precision Instruments (USA made). I have a barrel swap “kit” I put together with a throw down torque Amazon torque wrench.
Edited to add.. it’s the same wrench as mentioned above from Tekton.
You can use any adapter on any torque wrench if you stay in the range the wrench is capable of.

My new to me dream build that I pieced together from the Hide.
TS Custom/Primal Rights built RimX with 24” Benchmark MTU
XLR JV Envy Pro with C6 buttstock custom tungsten color
MDT Ckye Pod Standard Pull
ZCO 5x27x56 with ARC rings
This is the most accurate 22lr that I have ever shot and I have owned several of most every brand. Even with only trying one lot of SKLRM, the first trip to the range last night had me giggling like a little kid.

Shot these groups today. I might install a tuner on the front, threading 7/8". Seems like the groups are good right now. Don't know if I want to mess things up.
A little windy, 3-6 mph then calm, no wind flag reading,shot on a concrete bench.

When you guys are changing Rimx barrels do you wrap the barrels with tape or paper or anything? I'll be using a viper barrel vise
I've always used paper drywall seam tape. Roll hanging above my bench for many many years, still 3/4 roll left.
Grab an electronic torque "wrench" and calibrate your snap-on.
CDI is the manufacturer of snap-on torque wrenches if you want to replace it but pay half as much.
They instruct you to remove the firing pin if you’re going to dry fire. Takes seconds to do.
Let me redo the video with the reinstallation. Stand by..Thank you
The first time I took my firing pin out it was a little difficult getting the pin to snap out of the groove. But it's just that easy...
Indeed it’s super easy. Any time I read non owners say OMG you have to remove the firing pin to dry fire a RimX I just roll my eyes. Literally took me 20 seconds taking my sweet time looking through my phone’s screen.
Greg Dykstra put this Primal Rights/TS Customs Rim X together for me and it shipped in September, 2022.
I've only had it for a short time but have over 2,000 rounds through it - Simply faultless in operation and accurate!
A big "Thank-You" to Greg & Kristen for supplying this package and helping me get it into Australia's Top End.

Threw this together to play around with. Need to find a better scope with 25yrd parallax.

I snuck out to the range after work and finished the session with my RimX chambered by Manzella Precision. After 20 warmup shots with SK Standard I started on a fresh target and shot 2 mags worth. Average group of 0.34” was making me smile. Tough to beat that with yellow box ammo!
Side note, the Garmin Xero picked up every shot and this box of ammo averaged 1052 fps with an ES of 51 fps and an SD of 12.8.
