I thought I was the only person in the gun world who positively fucking HATES the use of the verb "run" as a synonym for "use".I'm using "not running" this S&B 12-50x56 on my Anschutz 1710 XLR.
Hell yeah! I'm with ya brother!I thought I was the only person in the gun world who positively fucking HATES the use of the verb "run" as a synonym for "use".
Whoever started that affectation can go choke on a dick.
Now this is what I'm talkin about. Just drop another $2500 on a 12-50 S&B for the 54.18. Problem solved.S&B 5-25 on my Vudoo in a Hawkins mount. My other 40X rimfires use S&B 12-50 and 5-25 and a 5-20 on my Annie 1727. Still not sure what to put on my Annie 54.18

I agree.I love nice expensive rifles and scopes but is it just me or are some people putting way to much scope on their 22's?

I have a number of 22 target rifles and have found for bench shooting a Weaver T-36 is perfect for mew. For standing I use a variable set to 12 power as more causes too much wobble. For "tactical" matches a variable is usually set on one power and never changed unless a portion of the match requires standing, sitting, or kneeling.
Why not save your money as some on this thread have done and purchase ammo to train with rather than sink it into a $1500+ scope. You can buy SK Pistol Match for $560 a case and I believe your match scores will reflect a increase in your proficiency.
Just my thought and what has worked for me.
I have not had time to draw up the mag in CAD yet. I am envisioning a 2 piece body made from delrin or equivalent held together with screws and brass inserts....
As it stands the OEM mag assembly is rather large and is distinctly easier than a cz or savage to reload on the clock. The angle of attack on the loaded round is rather steep
I can't fault this thought process but for me, I shoot my rimfires more than any other rifles at this point. Since I've already got the scopes, in my mind, I'm better off to use them on rifles that are being shot a lot, instead of sitting in the box or in the safe on centerfires that aren't shot nearly as much...

Count me in too.
That one wears a Millet 1" red dot I bought 20 years ago that also RUNS like a champ.
WOW! I had this same thought process a few years ago. Down to "sitting in the safe" and all.
I would have expected a lot more range reports now that there out there. I want a Lipsey and will have to wait a while to get one. This magazine thing is bugging me though. I hope an AICS mag could be designed.
You’ll be happy with that scope!!I put an Athlon Midas Tact 6-24x50 mil/mil on my CZ 452 Varmint. Went to the range yesterday and shot some damn nice groups at 100 yards. The bench is concrete with old folding chairs. Being short for reach on the bench, and VERY unstable, the chairs left a lot to be desired. But I did shoot some nice groups, with a 3/4" group and a few 1" groups. With a more stable seating arrangement, and being able to position myself behind the rifle in a more comfortable manner should lead to better and more consistent shooting.
Love the Athlon Midas Tac.
Upgrade to what?My Vudoo currently has a Vortex PST Gen II 5-25 on it. If I shoot this gun as much as I think I will, I'll probably upgrade the scope.
I do like the scope. Bought a T1X .22 today. It will be blessed with a Midas Tac also.You’ll be happy with that scope!!
Maybe a Nightforce ATACR or Schmidt & Bender. I'm going to be pretty heavily into .22lr moving forward I think.Upgrade to what?
I'm currently using a Vortex AMG ... I currently have 27 mils of elevation
I'm currently using a Vortex AMG but might be changing it out sometime soon for a Athalon Ares ETR. I currently have 27 mils of elevation but the change would get me 32 mils and get me out to close to 600 yards on the turrets. The Athlon would also give me a 25 yard parallax were the AMG only goes down to 35 yards. That would setup my rifle for everything from NRL22 to ERL22 matches.
What angle rail are you using with the Vortex?
Trying to decide on an optic. I currently have a nf nex 3.5-15 f1 for my .22. I will be using the gun for prs .22 matches. I own a s&b 5-25 too, but it lives on my elr rig. What do y’all recommend for prs matcha with the .22. For CENTERFIRE 25 power is plenty for me. Even elr 25 is no handicap. Just don’t have much expirence with .22 matches.
