Ok figured i would post up some pics of the rifle again. Going to test a new case of sk std + next week see how it shoots, also going to test out a new ftr style bipod on the rifle see how that does. Hopefully i can get my setup perfected to clean some ARA targets. It is much easier shooting groups than moving the rifle to set up a new shot each time! This 22 rimfire shooting is a challenge and blast.

Update tested a new lot of ammo this morning. First time shooting this rifle prone. Here are cherry picked groups from 150 yards. I like the 4 shots in one little cluster with me tossing a shot high. I shot 6 5 shot groups at 150 yards today, all 6 average less than moa!
Nice shooting here!
I just got an MTR and thought I'd contribute. New to bench and this is my best so far on the target below running Eley Club. It seems like this rifle shoots a variety of ammo pretty well.
Never mind the chicken scratch on the target I didnt shoot in any particular order. I was just getting use to the format moving from 1 target to the other.
50 yd - 3 shots in each target
Bald Eagle front rest
Protektor bag rear
Eley Club
I didnt know this rifle had a cast in the stock until I started letting it free ride the bags.

Looking good mine has shot pretty much moa and under with everything at 50. Had issues with eley match so i am sticking with cci sv, sk , lapua good luck with your rifle
my CZ 457 MTR had no special fondness for ELEY TENEX, didn't chamber smoothly either .. (nor did my Annie 1416AV) .. have not as yet tried Lapua or SK, but in the meantime I settle for casual day at range with generic 40 gr whatever .. ELEY just don't impress me much, but mebbe just luck of the draw,,, 22 rimfires are weird that way
my vudoo does the same thing with eley, and the worst with tenex to be exact. I shot my best group at distance with it but I won’t shoot it any more now cause it’s too dirty/tight

I guess thats just how much lube is all over the eley match ammo i have. So much so 20 to 30 rounds in i was palming the bolt closed pretty hard. Moved on from it and shoot sk ,lapua cci sv can shoot a whole brick and the bolt has no where near anything close to that mess from eley.
I went through 2 bricks of club and had nothing close that looked like the goop shown in post #10. What Eley ammo was shot through this?

Eley match black box 2021 production. It shot very well just cleaned the bolt off every 5 rounds. 30 rounds fired no cleaning i had to palm the bolt closed.
Thanks for the info. If I give some a try I'll report back

Chambers smooth as butter for around 15 shots . Then starts getting harder and harder. Around 20 to 30 i have to palm the bolt closed hard. If i wipe bolt face off everything works like a champ again. For another 20 or so. There is literally about .010 thick of compacted lube smashed and smeared on the bolt face. This lot of eley is .003 shorter on headspace and engraves bullets less than cci sv and sk lapua centerx . Its definitely a lube issue i wont shoot it anymore. I moved on from it to sk and lapua for match ammo. It shoots just as good as eley match and i can shoot bricks with minimal lube build up on the bolt face, fireing pin face and the chamber breech. Like as in a brick of sk std plus has 90 percent less gunk on bolt than 5 rounds fired of eley match from the lot i have on hand.
Do you have any pictures of how much each different type of bullet gets engraved when chambered? that would be interesting to see.

If i can find the ones i tested i will take some pics of them and post them up.
good shooting!
I just got into this and I've been getting quite a few shots in the upper right quadrant like 2 of your sighters, #16, 21 and 22 and I cant yet figure out if its wind or something I'm doing on my end.
I suspected it might be caused when I let the rifle free ride the bags and it was the cast in the stock. I havent figured it out yet.
I also need more practice moving the rifle from one target to the next on the sheet.
Nice work!
