22rf benchrest build. What rcvr?

[LESLEY]

I like the Turbo actions. So much so I have several. Most have never had a barrel. Others like the 2500 some the 10x. Building a br 22 is kind of like finding the perfect wife. Its good until it quits performing. Then its time to rebuild

Which Turbo? Is the V3 significantly better than the V1 ?

 

[LESLEY]

Grading turbos is like Women some are better. Up grades include better boobs = better action. Some better action and wife will come along. Some are just put together better. the whole package. If you chasing the perfect wife or woman its like chasing the perfect 22. Something better will come along. Or be built by a smith or DR

On the flip side of what you said, I want to be able to know that a miss was all me and not my equipment. reading conditions is a very hard skill to learn. I seen guys go home and not shoot in a match because the wind was blowing too hard didn't want to waste ammo IMO you never waste ammo if you learned something. I had at least 2 maybe 3 matches canceled while I was waiting to setup because MD decide it was too windy.
IMO shoot anytime and every time and you will learn something always.

No, nor is it marginally better, they’re frankly, about the same.

One thing to consider for your continuing education.
If you get a new Turbo, any flavor, had better consider something important.
It sounds(correct me if wrong) like you’re leaning there because they are the cheapest custom.
Should you go there have no illusions about screwing a barrel on it and going shooting.
Generally they need work for optimum performance as well as somebody that really knows their way around them.
There is , IMHO, exactly one action you can shoot, right out of the box, that is Stiller’s 2500X.
A bit more.....far cheaper in the long run.
You pays your money, you takes your chances.

The 1 and 2 are what I like. I would get a turbo and a 2500. Its like having a wife and a side piece at the same time

 

[LESLEY]

If you want to really have some fun go to Rimfire central. Ask in the Anschutz thread if a custom at 3 grand will outshoot a factory 5 grand Factory Anschutz. I ask and got booted for life

I can really only afford one. I'll likely check with my 'smith for a recommend. Theres only about 3-400 difference 'tween those 2.

Br is single load, I shoot at a BR club that allows repeaters. I shoot a Vudoo. It rocks

They will, all day every day.
That also includes the few $7000 Grunnig and Elmigers, Walthers, and FWB’s that showed up for a while at selected matches.

You were banned from RFC, because you admittedly said the thread you started was to win a bet to see how many members you could troll, I believe winning your bet was based on how many pages you could take it to. everything you posted on that thread was to upset people.

Tim, From what I heard that is very true on the 2500X, but if you are having a top smith build it they are going to blue print it. I can't remember which smith said any build he does gets blue printed regardless of the action.
for DIY shooters, the 2500X is a good way to go

I'm def gonna pay for the expertise of a builder. NOT doing that WOULD be a waste of money (for me, anyway)

I don’t know about that.
Cannot say I know most smiths but have heard zero about anybody doing a “ blueprint” on them other than the occasional pin tip preference .
Gordon builds, as you have quoted, a hell of a gun, these days only 2500’s and does Zero to them. He’s done two for me .
Also, the only action made you can usually take a barrel off one, screw it on another and have it, usually, headspace right and have extractor slots timed as well....pretty slick.
WLM is on record with the blueprint everything BS, still refuses to admit those are winning platforms. He remains a PAS only until death advocate .

Dropping 9 points at a IR50/50 3 card unlimited match wont even get you honorable mention.
