Just one of the many. I'll take a better picture next time.
Nothing spectacular, but hitting a 2ft target at 430yd with cci std vel in a 10mph crosswind sure is fun.

This is my CZ457 Varmint in an XLR Industries chassis. Topped with the new Burris XTR3 in 3.3-18.
The Race Dial turret is cool. Mark all my match yardages in the morning and have my dope for the day.

Sig Sauer STR 200 in a GRS Hybrid stock. Delta Stryker 5-50 x 56 scope. its a long gun - that's a 27 inch barrel.
I’ll play. CZ 455, manners stock, Silencerco spectre II, Diamondback tactical scope
Not a lot of folks familiar with this gun. I've seen his groups in the 6x5, it's a monster!
Lockdown refinishing project of my late year run Remington Model 34 Repeater I bought for my kids to shoot 18+ years ago. Stock had been refinished with some kind lacquer and krinkle finished in some areas...... a nice pawn shop patina. But the metal is all original!
I stripped the stock with multiple applications of lacquer thinner, sharpened lines with 100/150/220 grit sandpaper, wiped with a wet towel and heat gunned dry, sanded with 220, repeated the process and used 320. Wiped clean with mineral spirits, let dry and applied a coat of 2 parts mineral spirits 1 part Birchwood Casey's Tru-Oil, let it dry and buffed with 00 steel wool, the applied a 1 to 1 coat of spirits and oil and let it dry. Buffed with 00 steel wool and applied a thin coat of Tru-Oil with my fingers and let it dry overnight. Buffed with 00 again and applied one more coat of Tru-oil and let it dry overnight then buffed with 000 steel wool and a fine cloth.
First time I've refinished a stock and I'm sold on Tru-Oil. I didn't want a high gloss finish or tactile feel so the two light final coats and 000 steel wool with cloth buff left a natural look and you can still feel the wood in your hands.
Not bad lumber for a rifle that sold for $13.95.

What contour and length is your barrel?
Compared to some of the other rigs on here mine is an “el-cheapo”! CZ455 varmint in a Boyd’s laminate and area 419 rail. My first and only long range rimfire (so far) but loving it!!
Nothing fancy, but it will keep 10 shots inside a quarter at 50 yards with cci 40 grain standard velocity.

I like the rifle but I have to ask; are you compensating for something with the muzzle-brake on a rimfire?
How does it balance? I went with a 22” MTU thinking it would be close to my match rifles in weight that are 26”. Yours looks great and is making my wait worse.
If I could do it over, I would have gotten the 20" Kukri, because it would have been easier to balance it out.
On the 18" Kukri, I had to add brass weight inserts to the forend, and a muzzle brake for the last bit I needed.
That solution cost around $220.00. It balances just in front of the magwell now.
And since this is a photo thread, here it is, in it's current configuration.
He was probably tired of people asking him why the barrel was so short. I know I was!
Before
After
My abomination. Mdt chassis under an Anschutz 64 action, mdt grip and stock. Cerakoted, milled for the extended magwell and release. Atlas bipod. Still shoots fine despite my meddling.
Anschutz 64, it's fine.
Anschutz 64, it's fine.
I put my 64 MPR in an MDT chassis as well. What scope are you using? I also put a 25 MOA scope rail and over-size bolt handle on mine from DIP industries. With the Burris signature rings and the scope rail, I can get an extra 65 MOA out of the scope. That has enabled me to lob bullets at cow bells at 300 yards.
Here's the link to DIP: https://www.diproductsinc.com/Products.aspx?CAT=3599
I have a dip rail and athlon scope. Don't recall which rings I have. Am looking at a better scope. Don't know what I'll do yet. Only minor problem so far is the lop is crazy long with this setup, and the recoil pad is way thicker than I need. It is crazy heavy, which I like.
We do have different buttstocks. I finally had to get the folding adapter for mine as I got tired of constantly removing the cheek piece. I like the heaviness on my set up as well.
It's so heavy that, depending on the lighting conditions, I can see the trace and/or the bullet as close as 100 yards. For targets, my friends and I were shooting at one inch steel plates at 100 yards. https://shootingtargets7.com/collections/3-16-gongs/products/1-ar400-gong-3-16
Before that we were shooting at golf balls at 100 yards as well. To keep from constantly picking up golf balls I used a home made target frame and mason line to suspend the ball and still watch it bounce all over the place.
To start, drill a hole in the ball while it's in a vice. Use a large enough drill bit to get a crochet needle through it. I made up several golf balls like this as they will only last a few hundred rounds before needed replaced.
I use dark colored mason line as it blends in with the backstop and not easy to see. If the line is white or another bright color it makes aiming easy because a "V" is formed that points to the target.
Mason line is perfect. I cut up about 4 foot lengths and melt the ends with a candle. The line is doubled and the crotchet needle pulls it through the hole. The loop is now tied into a knot several times to keep it from slipping back through the hole.
In the photo below, the arrow points to the golf ball or what is remaining of it. I put several hundred rounds through this ball and the actual distance was 110 yards.
When the ball is hit just right, it goes around in a vertical orbit like a ferris wheel and it more fun to watch than if I shot at it laying on the ground or off a golf tee like I used to do.
A golf ball is 1.68 inches in diameter which is about 1.6 MOA. We've found that the 1 inch plate from Shootingtarget7 will last longer. You can suspend it with mason line as well but every now and then the string gets cut and you have to repaint it. The one inch plate is a better challenge anyway but used golf balls are cheap.
For an even greater challenge, we've used a dab of hot glue to affix paintballs to 4X8 index cards. Then we tack or staple the index cards to the backstop at 100 yards.
The game is played this way. Each shooter gets ten shots at a paintball. If the shooter hits the paintball on the first shot, he or she gets 10 points. If they get it on the 2nd shot they get 9 points. If they get it on the 3rd shot, they get 8 points. You get the picture.
I have the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25X with the MRAD reticle on mine. It was pricey but I don't regret spending the money on it one bit.
Rimfire challenge, pick your yardage.
Make it yourself or does someone market that? Regardless, a great idea.Rimfire challenge, pick your yardage.
Been a while since I broke out the welder. Looks like I need to grab myself some angle-iron.
Rimfire challenge, pick your yardage.
Nice!
I setup a similar target for my gun club's "Fun Shoot" event using a simple 2x4" board sawhorse using the cheap Sawhorse Brackets from Harbor Freight.
The game started out as hit the paintballs - then it became hit the paintballs, and then cut the golf tee. It made a lot of people smile that day - even made a few non-shooters decide shooting was fun to do.
yes. That’s inside our safe room at Anschutz North America

Had my stock T1x about 6mo.. Showed up to a local PRS match (my first) and stole 2nd. Just put it in the Bravo yesterday. Cant wait to hit some paper with it!!
Using the old beater bipod at the moment saving up for an Atlas. Anybody have any ammo they can recommend. I ordered 2 boxes CenterX and Wolf ultra match. I'm using Norma match 22 at the moment getting sub 1" at 50yd.

Nice color scheme on the Bravo, did you do that yourself?
I would highly recommend trying SK Rifle Match and Lapua Pistol King.
The Atlas bipods are great, no doubt about that. Trouble is, for the average person they cost to much for what they do. But, I'd still recommend everyone having at least one, I have two.

Thank you. Yes I did
Got my sights on the BT65 Gen 2 Cal. I was going for the ARCA rail system until I priced all the components. Will try the SK Rifle Match!
Nice setup, I see that the eotech vudoo scope? If it is how do you like it? I've not seen much talk about them.
It’s a solid scope, works very well
Not a lot of discussion on them so, and I have a lot of other brands in use, but it’s a great option
