Rebarreled a CZ for my wife

[linebaugh]

I have shot PRS for years now and about 3 years ago switched to rimfire. The wife likes to go help RO and now I am trying to get her into actually shooting. She shot one paper match with me and I think she was hooked on that. I am hopeful she will enjoy this sport, she will have all the support in the world after helping all the guys for 2 years now. Could not get this thing to balance, very butt heavy, so I cut a cheap green mountain for her. Have cut a number of the GM rimfires and they have yet to dissapoint for the cost. Hope to see how it shoots tomorrow.

yup

That is a nice looking rifle!

That looks like a sweet setup. I'm looking forward to the results.

My wife really likes the At-One that I put on a B-14R. It adjusts perfectly for either one of us to take turns shooting.

Yes, WHY, the HUGE,.. "Truck Axel" for, a woman ??
My green Mountain "Sporter", 20 inch barrel shoots,. SUB 1/2 MOA ( 3's and 4's ) with, Mid Priced SK / Wolf, ammo.
The .22 Rim Fire is NOT, a "High Heat," Barrel "moving", Cartridge.
Personally, I'd think that, most Women like Rifles, in the 6 to 7.5 Pound, weight class.
The Stock, looks great, tho ! IF, you ever go with, a smaller, Lighter Barrel, you might try, Boring Holes, in the Buttstock and, under, the Barrel Channel to, LOSE some, stock Weight,.. possibly ?

Could not get the factory barrel to balance. I even put a heavy lead weight on the end of the forearm with an oversized brass muzzle weight and no dice. So to get the gun to balance so she can shoot positional and have a chance to make impacts and not fight a gun we needed the forward weight. Second reason is I had this blank sitting around for 3 years when I bought a six pack of them on sale. I wish I had bought straight .920 blanks as this would probably have been okay.

I took zero pictures but the gun shoots very well and shoots most of the $5-6 a box stuff well. It was a toss up on eley force and eley target but we went with target to get her closer to my drop data. Extremely high mirage yesterday when we did her custom curve but her scope cut the mirage the best due to only being 15x max and very clear glass. I assume this is why.
One noatble group yesterday shooting drops was a touch over 2" at 200 yards. I always shoot 10 shot groups so in those conditions that was very good in spite of the hellish mirage. Her rifle shot better than both my rim'xs at some distances, not all. I have two cases of a lot of SK std plus that throws some terrible fliers so it was not hard to outshoot it on one of the rifles.
Eley match shot terrible which was surprising.
