Groups: me or ammo?

Here are a bunch of 5 and 10 round groups at 50 yards with cci mini mag and some basic Aguila out of a CZ 457 MTR.
Next time I’d like to try some high end ammo.

Bolt shims question.

I bought some bolt shims for my b14r because why not? They are cheap. Anyways. I have .001 to .005 and have no idea which to start with. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Converting a marlin model 60 to model 70

Hey everyone, long time listener first time caller. I have a Marlin model 60 that is a fun gun to plink with. But I understand that you can convert it to a clip fed system like on the model 70. I’ve seen a really shitty YouTube video on someone doing it but like I said the video sucked. Does anyone have any advice or can point me in the right direction of making my tube fed model 60 into a clip fed model 70? Thank you!

(No I’m not going to “just buy a 70” lol)

Extremely versatile rimfire holster review: Cole-Tac Varmint Wrangler Chest Rig

I'm not affiliated with Cole-Tac in any way, but was extremely impressed this weekend with their holster!

I had it out on a multi-day hike, mostly for plinking and some racoon management. I posted about this setup a bit back, but wanted to update after actually using it. I added a small round Molle pouch I normally pocket carry for extra rounds to the holster. This acts both as a counter-balance when carrying the chest rig, but also holds extra rounds and some batteries/tools for the gun.

I didn't think through carrying a pack with the extra rounds on my back, but found out that without even adjusting the strap length I can carry this holster on my waist and somehow it's even more comfortable than a standard belt holster! It's like a cowboy carry with an ammo belt. I added 2 velcro strip keepers to keep the shoulder strap in line.

With the ammo in the gun/spare mag and the carrier I have about 200 rounds on the belt total, as well as an extra red dot battery, and all the tools I need to adjust the laser and Holosun as well as tighten the red dot if it ever came loose.

The extra pouch may not be needed (I have 40 rounds in the 2 mags) but it allows for some impromptu target practice.

Overall Impression: One of the best holsters purchases I've made. I'd love to see Cole-Tac do a version with a removable shoulder strap (this one is sewn on) but it's so unobtrusive that I doubt I'd upgrade if they ever did. My Ruger MkIII fits great in the holster as well. They did a great job of making the holster secure while still multiple rimfire pistols!

Do I need to re-barrel or reset my expectations?

These are my groupings today at 50y with 3 types of ammo in a 457 American in an xrs, 12oz timney and a can. C is CCI Sv, N for norma tac and L for Lapua CX, the lapua did best overall I think but isn’t as consistent as I’d like. Is this a technique issue or a rifle or ammo thing? It occasionally shoots groups like the last Lapua with CCi sv but I want all groups tiny… are any of these even close to acceptable with any of the ammo? Someone save me from spending $800 on a Bartlein please lol.

Which rifle to buy?

Hi Guys, Ive spent the week reading posts and blog posts, watching youtube videos and so forth on which rifle to buy.

I have a option to buy either a CZ 457 with what looks like the MDT LSS chassis or the Tikka T1X Ace Target. My budget and means of spending said budget will not allow me to buy a rifle and chassis separately. Hence the options limited to the above 2.

I can’t decide which one and the majority of posts seem to lean towards the CZ for customization. It’s not easily feasible for me to swap barrels and do changes to the action or barrel due to the law and how firearms are licensed in South Africa. So the rifle I buy will stay as is for the very long foreseeable future.

Cost there is a negligible difference between the 2.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this with the customization factor the CZ brings not being a feasible consideration for me.

Thanks

How do they make the rim on the cartridge?

I've watched a few videos about how rimfire cartridges are made by different brands. Every part of the process can be seen or is explained, more or less, except for how the rim is formed.

Does anybody know how the rim is made?

Thanks

TX22 Compact FRT first test.

Ran Perfect with multiple mags of CCI mini mags
No jams.

Most fun I’ve ever had.
Texas triggers FRT

Total install time was about 10 minutes so I’m not concerned about changing it back. But why would you ever want to?

Drilled and tapped my XRS for a thumb rest

What a nice change, had originally been looking at adding one but sucks that the XRS doesn’t have a spot for one. Drilled and tapped for an MDT thumb rest. Saw someone install one using epoxy, but I thought I’d go mechanical fastener route instead. I’m prone to dropping and breaking things. Worked out well!
