Well, I didn’t think so but thought maybe Chuck bent you arm or something.
Too bad, we could use more people! I’m thinking 10 will be about it. That sucks.
Anyhow,see you Sunday.

Most of shooting at 100 is how well the monkey behind butt plate can read the wind, break the trigger, and hold the rifle. There is something to be said for better ammo but not a lot.

Depends on your game. Ammo is a BIG part of the equation.

Depends on one's definition of ammo and skill level.

Apparently you don't know Cliff Arnold finished 7th at the ARA Nationals this month shooting -----wait --for --it a Vudoo!

yea, yea, yea, one tournament doesn't mean much, but who knows what the future holds.

and who knows what Cliff has done to that Vudoo???

I always remember anything can and will happen in rimfire.

TKH

Cliff is a friend of mine and as far as i know a vudoo isnt in his massive collection, knowing him i wouldnt be surprised if he got one, but generally he shoots a 2500x, turbo, or a swindlehurst.

I would recommend call a great rimfire smith such as penrod precision and let them have free reign to build. Note you will be looking at a 5k build by the time you put good glass on. Rimfire is a blast but competing at tier 1 level does require the best equipment just as a start, then there is ammo (lapua or eley testing center can actually save money here) and reading the wind. I have watched a unexpected gust throw my shot over a half inch at 50 yard, but you hear everyone down the line cuss when that happens.

If money wasn’t an object for a build what action/stock/barrel/Gunsmith for .22 rimfire 100 yard bench rest shooting. I use a Neo front rest and Lenzi rear.
Thanks,

Buy an Anchutz benchrest 22. They will shoot 1/2MOA all day long. My less expensive repeater will shoot 1MOA or less at 200 yards. Great equipment.

 

[dutch14]

Push the easy button, buy an anschutz.

Very consistent ammo is often harder to find than a good shooting rifle. No one should underestimate the importance of having ammo that performs well in a particular rifle. No rifle can outshoot the ammo it's given.

All the targets below were shot last weekend with the same rifle in very good conditions within minutes of each other. All were shot with M+ but two different lots were used. It's obvious which two had the better shooting lot. Each target has three ten shot groups at 100 yards.

If money was no object, I would pay someone to shoot for my old blind ass!

You need to call him. He was definitely shooting a Vudoo V22S action. When I talked to him at nationals he said he built it and did the work on it, but the equipment list show's Penrod as the gunsmith so not sure on that.

He said he did do some cleanup of the springs, etc, but not sure if he did anything else. He said he really liked it. Probably helps that he seems to have a good barrel.

Stiller 2500, Shilen Ratchet, Jewel trigger, stock and bedding by Alex Sitman. Metalwork I would have to think about…would probably be either Pitts, Pernod or Nevius (in no order). SEB Max front rest.

 

[buckeye68]

It’s a very easy decision to make. Buy one of each, in every configuration and top then all with a NF scope and start having some fun.

 

[searcher]

Something along the lines of a mobile rocket launcher comes to mind.......

Unfortunately there are no .22 rimfire 100 yard bench rest matches near me, but last year we started shooting 50 yard rimfire bench rest club matches that are a variation of VFS with a Top Shot or KYL component. Classes include iron sights, sporter, semi-automatic, and target.

The target class being populated predominantly by a bunch of fiercely competitive, cranky, retired, old men escalated quickly from beloved Win 52s and Rem 37s to Stiller 2500s with McMillan stocks and Benchmark barrels built by the great Howard Pitts to single shot Vudoos and Vudoo 3-60 repeaters like the one pictured with a McMillan A-5 Adjustable stock, Jewell trigger, Vortex Golden Eagle 15-60, and a Harrells' tuner.

Not sure this qualifies as being built with money as no object, but it's probably as close as I'll ever get. As far as value and the fun it provides it's a great bang for the buck and worth every penny.

I’d probably go with a Viking 61 Convertible.

I’d go with something in the 120-150 foot range. You need the extra space for the cook, masseuse and a couple bikini girls. Oh, and a fish cleaning girl! Money no object thinking, that is.
