Holds up just fine. The rifle is extremely forgiving.

Very Good shooting. question is this with a tuner? an earlier post you show the rifle with a Harrell tuner.
I didn't think you were using a tuner.

This was with a tuner. I wasn’t using a tuner on this rifle until a few days ago.

That is what I thought, that the tuner went on recently. Great shooting!

My new RimX build with Shilen#5 ratchet @21” in a MPA Competition chassis JGS Match chamber. Low cost Mueller 8-32 Target scope and Trigger Tech Diamond. First time out today to see how it would do against my Anschutz 1907,1700FWT and Winchester 52 B from 1948. I was quiet pleased with initial shooting. Only bore sighted at 50yds and started shooting 10 shot strings with no foulers between ammo types. Had no failures to feed, fire, and eject during the session.

That is a very nice setup, who did the barrel for your rimX? You need to bring that bad boy out to our F-class match Saturday.

 

[escopeta]

I did the barrel. I do all of my barrels and quite a few for local shooters.

 

[escopeta]

Forgot to note that the center white dot is 1/4” and square is 3/4”. For a good trigger puller/ wind doper dimes are duck soup. Not BR level accuracy but I am a happy camper.

You can borrow it if you want.

I finally had a decent condition. One of the first times this spring I've had the wind this steady. Wind was barely tugging 2-5mph, but had a nice steady wide pace to the changes in intensity... and I cranked off 6 good groups with one absolute stunner. Might be the smallest group I've shot to date with a rimfire. Best news... I shot it on camera. This tuner has pulled a solid tenth of an inch out of my group size, on average.

Distance - 50yds
Ammo - RWS R50

.192
.152
.145
.119
.009
.151
6x5 with an average of 0.128".

Very impressive shooting! How much is the rifle and how much is the shooter? I think it is the latter
Great shooting!

Naaaaah. I appreciate it Lee. ... but its a LOT the rifle. Just putting the tuner on has pulled about a tenth of an inch out of the avg group size. I've been doing the same thing behind it, so it isn't like I got better. With my centerfires I can hold .1's and .2's at 100yds, so if the rifle and ammo was doing it's job 100%, I should be shooting in the 0's all the time at 50yds. That's the most frustrating thing about 22lr; it's really hard to get anywhere near the level of performance out of them as you can a centerfire.

 

[VLNBYR]

Forget the .o's, if you can shoot anywhere in the .1's all the time you will be world champ in most everything you try.
