NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

[LR1845]

Yes, hard especially as compared to Vudoo and other actions! Waiting on Ray to come up with a fix.

Have you spoke with or Emailed Ray? He took care of me twice in less than a week both times.

Took it back out today to lot test. It’s wearing significantly, and at times will stick on close. It’s hard to let someone shoot it because they’ll stick it.
But it shoots well.

Yes very odd that some are gouging and some are not. Hard to pin down exactly which ones until they do it.
Wonder if that’s why Ray hasn’t sounded the horn to replace all from such and such SN and above? Must be thinking we’ll just address the ones that show up bad.

500 total round count.

Sent a message and will call. I do not want a quick fix. I want to know why it is happening and a permeant solution!

I'm waiting on a build. Action was ordered by the Smith in September and it hasn't shown up yet. I'm guessing this is why.

Wonder what serial number Zermätt and the current Rimx is on? I recently purchased a new 03580, just working the action in my hand everything seems to be ok.
Time will tell! I’m going to shoot it and cycle it like I’m oblivious………huh what gouging issue?!

If you have the issue, you’ll know it. Bolt will stick on close. Mine is also new. 3500’s as well. This is my first rimfire build so I thought there was some kind of break in period, until it kept happening. Other than that, it has fed and shot flawless so far. Had 4 lots of Tenex yesterday and all shot extremely well thru the PVA barrel. Finally settled on the lot that shot best at 100.

Did you grease your lugs at all? I smeared just a little bit on there. May be giving me false hope. I won’t know the rest of the story till later in the week when I get my barrel and actually put it to the test.
I was that the one I purchased was new old stock.

Have two that are over 3500, one is like 35XX the other is 36XX. The 35XX after the first 10rds

I talked to Eric, they said they are working on a fix not a patch. He told me they were shooting for this month. I'm good with that, my issue at this point. Why put out the action if you know you have a problem. I'm 3 RimX rifles in. One is in the 15XX, that one is safe.
