My first rimfire

My first "custom" rimfire anyways, I just wanted to give this a try. Figured I may learn something and I dont have to load for it :). Figured on my first one Id follow a popular recipe. Stiller 2500x, Shilen ratchet, and a Rotex stock. Mainly I wanted to see if my throat lapping idea would...

Here is a website that Jerry Stiller runs. That sight is pretty bias towards the 2500x

Yes and no regarding the bias. Sure, if you search around there you'll find a lot of info from when Jerry was developing the 2500X (and Trident). There's a lot of discussion around the 2500X because there's a lot of people shooting them. If you look at the equipment list from ARA outdoor nationals last September you'll see that over half of the field was shooting 2500X. There are a lot of people on RA that shoot a Turbo or Turbo clones too

If you're still building I have a rail and bore guide for a 2500. We'll work out a good price for them both, new in the box.

Bias in what regard?

 

[TRSR8]

Bias in what regard?

He’s new…..it’s not.

 

[Mt.Boy]

Bias in what regard?

Just saying seems like most people on the sight shoot 2500x. Seems like it’s a lot more info on there about them then most sights. Was nothing ment buy it.

 

[Mt.Boy]

He’s new…..it’s not.

And your point. Seems like I can’t comment on anything with out you telling me how new I am thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot

Didn’t mean anything buy saying bias. Ment that people on the sight just seem to shoot more of them to anything else. Maybe should have used a different word.

Fair enough. I can see how many newer shooters to the site could think that, but the reality is most of us have 3,4,5 comp guns and most have many of the major makes. For transparency, I run the site so I probably have a bit different perspective, but in general if you want the best info available on Rimfire Accuracy, you won't find better info than on RA. Most of what you see on other sites has all originated in some form from RA.

There are certainly different disciplines which we may not cater to, but for pure accuracy and detailed info, not a better site out there for Rimfire in my opinion.

Totally agree a lot of good info on RA.

Probably got something to do with asking lot’s of newbie questions then not paying attention to advice given.
P.S. Look up bias, it’s a pejorative.

Ooh ok. You are one of the guys that were born a veteran shooter lol. Honestly not sure what you mean. I always take all the advice I can get from a lot more experienced shooters and really appreciate it.
