Jesse,
Some days I feel like I've gone down a rabbit hole looking for a 22 repeater that'll shoot good enough to satisfy my desire, other days it's all good, and I couldn't be happier. 99.9% of the difference is how well I'm able to shoot on any given day. Since building that first Stiller 2500XR, I've had one heckuva lot of fun building & shooting three more rifles - both my old CMP 40Xs that jelrod1 converted to repeaters, and more recently, one built on a V22 action purchased from VGW. So now I've got a whopping five whole 22RF bbls to my credit - three Kriegers, a 3-groove Benchmark, and a Lilja titebore. Pretty sure I learned something doing each one, and know for sure that I've made some mistakes along the way. The desire is there to keep building 22RF rifles, but unless/until I hit a lottery jackpot I'm probably about done. Not done shooting 22s - just done spending $$$ to build them for myself.
I'm still shooting the 40Xs regularly, but that V22 is one slick rifle, and it's getting a little more than its share of attention right now. Just finished bedding it into its Elite T4A stock a few days ago, and have been waiting for a day with decent conditions so I could try to find out whether the bedding job netted any improvement or not. Wind's been howling, along with several days now when it hasn't gotten out of the 20s for highs. But today, after I got home from a hospital board meeting, there was a light breeze out of the NE, and I couldn't resist the temptation to run down to the range in the pasture to do some shooting at 200 with the V22 - even though it was only 28*F. Was able to run four mags of SK Pistol Match, Rifle Match, Lapua Center-X, & Lapua Polar Biathlon though the rifle before I got cold enough to give it up. What an addiction...lol I'm thinking maybe I ought to follow the lead of the friend who introduced me to the Polar Biathlon - he calls it "bipolar", and today, it lived up to that name. I'd bought a few bricks of one lot of the stuff, and was very disappointed with its accuracy while shooting when temps were mid-40s to an exceptional Feb day when it reached 72*F. But today, in the cold, it shot as good as - if not better than - anything else I've ever shot at 200yds. Will have to try it again on a day with warmer temps to see if today was a fluke....always an excuse to go out & shoot again, isn't there?
