Cool.  I'm down.  I'll let you know.

I would like to get my CZ dialed in a little better and get chrono data, so my feelings aren't hurt as much.   

Just send it. As you know, velo will only get you close. Every load needs to be trued because manufacturers exaggerate their BCs. I'll be there this weekend probably shooting private bays on Sun and Rifle Side on Mon pm

I am so against shooting for "groups", don't even get me started. Try shooting the USBR Green Monster Target or similar at 50y. That will show you how difficult it is to hit a 1/8" target at 50y consistently with a 22lr. I've seen a few whom tried this target, I've never seen anyone shoot a 2500 much less a 2500-25X. This target is the Gold Standard for 22lrBR shooters. None of the major BR associations shoots for groups in competition, they all shoot for score.

Ended up going Sunday morning and shooting more testing with the tuner.  Think I got it narrowed down, at least with this batch of Eley Match. 

I prefer to shoot steel, but not that much opportunity here.  I can at a friend's property, but rarely get to shoot there.  Now that I am close to getting dialed in with the tuner, will start shooting more at the silhouette side. 

While I'm not benchrest shooter, I was planning on shooting that style of target card.  I was looking for the one that the Pursuit of Accuracy guy shoots, but the one you mentioned above is available on Amazon.  Someone gave me a bunch of 1" target circles as was going to shoot those, but the target cards are much easier.

Were you on the right side or left?  I was on the left side near esk808.  Was good conditions to shoot 22.  Had some really tight groups under .2.  Tried shooting 1” bulls instead of groups also.  Although winds were light it still made a difference.  Need to practice that wind call to shoot ARA targets.

I was on the left side.  I was near the air rifle regular (super cool guy).  I don't recall any others shooting 22 in the benches where I was.  I think bench number was in the 30s. 

The conditions were way calmer than the week before.  I don't mind shooting in the wind, but wasn't ideal for tuner testing.  Comparing the results from both weeks was interesting though.  One of the shooters had a wind vane, so was interesting watching the direction and velocity changes during breaks between the relays.

I was two stalls to the right of the air rifle guy…was there from 0800–1100.  I left about the same time as esk808.

I prob got there right after you folks left.  I was next to the air rifle guy.  Did you go back and get your KYL target?

Yup…sure did.  Left in a rush.  Was talking with the ROs and forgot to pull it.  Had to turn around on the freeway

Cool.  Caused some confusion.  That was a pretty nice target rack. 

A couple of the ROs were joking around about charging you a fee.

I owe them some onaga.  Hah…trade for fish.  Talked with Vudoo this morning and my rifle may be ready in 3months or so.  Trying to decide on a scope.  No longer a rabbit hole…it’s a massive black hole now.

I know a guy who forgot his SCAR at the range.  And 2 HRA open shoots ago, someone forgot their Glock.

Damn it!  (don't listen, don't get tempted, don't research. . .) 

That's awesome!  I have a 6.5 gun in the works at a builder.  Incidentally, that builder is well known for .22 lr builds.  I was checking out some of their builds, including test videos and results have been very impressive.  I'm not going to lie, I'm interested.  Trying to stick with my current setup, really learn, get better, etc with .22 lr.  I've read and watched YT videos of excellent feedback on the Vudoos. 

What are you looking at on scopes?  I have been eying an Athlon Midas Tac 5-25.  I've been using my old Vortex Viper PST 4-16 Gen I.  It's fine, but I've been spoiled with the optics I have on my centerfire.

Bruh.  I mean I get that it happens, but still.  I've been at the range where at the end of open shoot, there have been guns left on the tables unclaimed.  All of those damn Glocks look the same.

Awesome!  Can see those "bugholes" pretty clear with that power range.

What scope base do you need for a scope like that?  I have the Area 419 30 MOA base on my CZ457.  I haven't shot the .22 lr other than at 50 and 100 yards though.

NF.   Buy once, cry once.

Akubone, next time I go, why don't you look through my NF 15-55 and see how you like it?

Next time, I need to take my NF, together with my March scope, and really compare both side-by-side.

Honestly, I cannot say that the March is way better than the NF.

I ordered 20moa rail and was deciding on either Spur or American Rifle Co mount.  The mount can also be ordered with extra MOA…I’m primarily planning on shooting at Kokohead…maybe if the wind is right I can get out to my friends private range and stretch it out.

Sunday was finally a good day to bring out my 1-piece rest.
Had a little wind, but not much.
Finally had my new Benchmark barrel and my March 10-60x56 scope on the rifle together.

Funny, I special ordered a "22LR Nevius chamber reamer" from JGS Precision, which everybody swears
shoots Lapua ammo well.  In fact, the reamer was specifically made for the Lapua.

Yes, it shoots Lapua well, but the surprise of the day was that it shot the Eley Tenex & Match better !
Eley has the EPS flat-nose bullet, so I didn't think it would shoot well in this barrel but it did.

Next project is to put a Harrell tuner to this, and try it with and without a Don Blue extension tube.

I have a Spuhr for my Nightforce ATACR and ZCO for two of my centerfires.  Both are the 20 MOA version.  They are pricey, but awesome.  I am thinking about the ARC M-Brace mount for the next scope/gun combo.  I have a set of their original M10 rings and they are solid.

Cool.  Good that your gun likes Eley Match.  I have 500 Lapua Midas+ that I want to test next, along with RWS Rifle Match and see how my Lilja barrel likes them.  So far, I am happy with the way the Lilja shoots the current lot of Eley that I tested.  I have two other lots on hand, with another batch on the way via Kaleo.  100 rounds of .22 lr goes by pretty quickly.
