Rimfire Madness: The Infection Begins

[churchmouse]

Wait. Hold up. When did the Mouse become a dragon??

Today. 4 hours in the chair with only locals for pain. Mouth full of stitches and no teeth.

Haven’t y’all figured it out yet that any gun you have is really your wife’s? Come on now guys!

I tried to explain that to Turbo recently but he basically said "huh-uh...ain't so".

She doesn’t like most of my toys. And she can’t really drive my cars. So I don’t know what she’s talking about.

I claim the stuff that I want, you can keep the rest of it

 

[dbg326]

Isn’t that the best kind of money to spend?

I'll say, you haven't steered me wrong. With that said, I've ignored many things you've said, and I have a feeling you wouldn't enjoy about half of the current toys.

Turbo has put me on the right paths to follow.

I am mulling over a $250 drop in trigger for the PRP.
Mouse (Toothless....I love it) has a problem involving when enough is actually enough.

Honestly, I’d wait on the trigger. See how the factory one is.

 

[gmcttr]

Agreed. I tend to shoot new guns a few times before I start upgrading.

I am. But it is tempting.

Turbo is a huge trigger snob. Or I'm just really cheap.

There were some really serious trigger snobs on the forum for a long time and I am one of them.
I do not need to shoot a 1911 or a CZ before I dump the guts and go for the bleachers. I already know what to expect.
Turbo has set me straight in the world of rimfires but old habits tend to stay close.

I have my limits. Rimfires tend to be in the acceptable cost range for me to go a bit crazy with.

Thats is firearm dependent for me.

Like I know that the Ruger Mk series have crappy factory triggers, so I’m comfortable having the kit arrive before any real time is spent with the pistol. I have several that I never shot before hitting them.

But a new platform that I’m still learning with, those I’ll wait before doing anything major typically.

Though I can’t fault CM for ordering the new barrel on the RPR. For too many people, the factory one was proven to be far less accurate than it should be for something with “precision” in its name.

I've read about people getting 1/4 inch groups at 50 yards with the RPR and factory barrel, with CCI or Aguila SV ammo, but it seems that it isn't consistent and others are having trouble doing anything similar with the factory barrel. Cause I'm cheap I would test the factory barrel and then order a GM barrel if needed, but that's just Mr. Tightwad speaking...

Sadly, something with the name precision shouldn’t have to be a luck of the draw. But it’s a Ruger 22 rifles, so sadly they didn’t try a whole lot harder than they do with most of their 22 rifles. Some models it’s like they try to make it as good as they can, and others they get to 80% and “good enough”. The lack of consistency a bit frustrating.

I’ve seen more positive experiences with your RART than the RPR out of the box. Not to say the RPR is all bad, but it just isn’t consistent with what it’s name implies.

I know that when I dialed in the RART at 25 yards, I was very happy with the results. I really need to save up to get better glass for it. Would love to see if a 6x24 would allow me to reach out to 100 yards well enough.

My RPR in 6.5 was a serious shooter.

 

[Areoflyer09]

My RPR in 6.5 was a serious shooter.

The 308 was as well. I should have clarified, it’s the RPRR (Ruger Precision Rimfire Rifle) that isn’t consistent with its name.

The 10/22 sporter had a lot of forend pressure. I removed about 75% of that and shot it...........made it worse LOL.
It now is free floated.
Barely.
Now I have some action rock, so will tape up and test this weekend.
It is a beater, but a cool one and it feels fantastic.

The dilemma continues............

The 10/22 sporter feels the best and shoots the worst.
The CZ455 is OK, feel and shooting. Expected a bit more on that last bit.
The 10/22 GM/Titan shoots fine, but is a bit heavy and the grip me no likey.

As little as I shoot it's tempting to just throw the Leupold Freedom EFR 3-9X on the GM/Titan and dump the others.

But in a .22 rf..............I dunno, feel is super important.

For those that like, love or even hate a 10/22..............you need to handle a '66-'71 sporter.
Told a guy about it and he was "You're FOS".

Then he handled one and was like, "hey that does feel pretty good".

Right off the bat.

Yeah, carry it, shoot one, handle it for a day or so afield.
It IMHO is THE 10/22 stock to have (at least in dimension/style).

Shame there's no synth version.

It's a beat up 250 dollar rifle that pulls on me...............it is ridiculous.
It might even be a sickness

Definitely maddening.
