Yea it shot really good. I really didnt notice any improvement in accuracy. Where I noticed the real improvements was in fit and function, and that helpped me shoot a little better with the Boyds stock. I also have a Mark II F that I got from Walmart for $140 that shoots every bit as good. That is the one my son uses when we go shooting together.

I had a Savage FV SR and it was amazingly accurate with ammo it liked for a $275 rifle. That was never where I had the issue with it. It shot great for awhile and then I stared having all kinds of reliability issues with it. The magazine would malfunction, it wouldn’t extract and so on. I would fix one issue and another would pop up always in the middle of a match of course. It could never just happen while I was at the range. I finally just threw in the towel and bought a Tikka for competition. I still have the Savage in a Boyd’s Tacticool stock that I keep as a loaner. It is running smooth for now. Hopefully it will stay that way since it doesn’t get shot that much. One thing I can say about every Savage I have owned over the years is they have all be tack drivers.
Here's my CZ 455 VPT with a Vortex HS-T 4-16. Targets were about 40 yds. with SK standard +. My bolt is mailed out to The Polished Knob right now to get a new handle.
I just wanted to post my finish Volquartsen Steel Receiver with Kidd barrel.

New Ruger Performance 10/22 with an Athlon Ares BTR scope. Will see how it performs against the Tikka T1X on Friday.
Nice, I hope to get to shoot my 3rd Fedderson barrel tomorrow. Keep us informed on how it does.
I thought that looked too smooth (no metallic flake) to be burnt bronze, but wasn't going to bet any money on my opinion either. That's another thing I like about sniper gray - it goes on really smooth & always seems to wind up with a very consistent satin finish. In case you haven't figured it out yet, sniper gray is one of my favorites in the CeraKote line...
It's very subtle.
Here it is in natural lighting.
Thx for that. Im thinking I dont want to be subtle here.
What Athlon? How do you like it ?
Ares ETR 4.5-30x56 MOA, for the price it's very good IMO. Shooting 200yd bench competition I still needed a spotting scope and much better than the 20-60x80 scope I had. So I bought a Trijicon 5-50x56 for the Vudoo which allows me to see impacts unless the mirage is heavy. Just finished installing the ETR on my new Tikka T3x Varmint in .223.Thx for that. Im thinking I dont want to be subtle here.
What Athlon? How do you like it ?
Ive also been thinking about using same brand / model scope on all 3 rifles - 22rf / 224V / 6.5 CM.
.223 / 5.56 rimfire ?Re: show some pics of your rimfire sticks!!

Thank you. It set me back quite a bit - $880.00 as pictured, but I also have a Larue LT690 F.U.G. and a Larue LT706+ Harris BRM-S Combo for it, as well as a Magpul UBR and a Full MIAD to go on a lower to mimick my LWRC M6A2-S upper on my Pre-Ban lower. I just need a stripped lower and an AR Gold Trigger and I can complete my AR22 project. I just don't have a second ACOG TA11...

Anschutz 1727 Fortner SBR with Gemtech Mist Suppressor. S&B 5-20.
I will have it out at a NRL-22 match this weekend along with my Vudoo. I will try to get some video.
Just remove the pinned baffle stack and put it on whatever rifle you feel like.
The baffle and sleeve are Gemtech, but the rest is all just gunsmithing.
slapped a freefloat handguard on the 15-22

I had a buddy of mine Bc'z over at accurateshooter.com redo the stock on my hall action rifle. It is quite the looker now. He made it look like there is water droplets on it.
Cliff Arnold who make one piece rest lives within a couple hours of me, at a local ARA match he let me try one, needless to say he is making me one.
Last pic is of one of his rest, not mine, mine will not have all the anodizing and cost much less.

This is how it sits at the moment with the lilja barrel and an atholon scope.
