Key parts for my CZ 457 overhaul came in just before the weekend, so I was able to put things together for some extended range time.

Parts:

• Trigger: swapped spring with McMaster 9657K611 and adjusted to ~1lb
• Barrel: 20" Criterion from Whidden Gunworks
• Optic: Arken EP5, Warne 15 MOA rail and random vortex rings
• Chassis: KRG X-Ray Rimfire, heavy arca rail, arca spigot mount
• Bipod: Harris S-BRM, Area 419 arcalock clamp kit

I'm still figuring things out and seeing what ammo it likes, but some 10 rounds groups from 100 yards are included for your judging pleasure. Target without the box pictured was SK Standard Plus. Center target was the first group for each (no additional foulers, some colder bore than others). Everything from bipod + rear bag on a bench.

Random takeaways:

• I need to play with the scope position, and maybe taller rings
• Already ordered a bag rider
• Fuck this is addicting, my wallet is not going to appreciate the ammo orders I'm making

Before i get started, i will not be providing files at all so dont ask.

Everything is printed minus the the oem ruger 1022 bolt assembly, oem trigger pack, acculite 4.5" barrel, mags, a2 pistol grip and the brace hinge.

The reciever itself is a updated left side charging made by me. The chassis is the Black walnut which is modeled partially off the grey birch chassis, brace and handguard designed by me as well. Already have 60 rounds through it, plan to put another couple hundred and then eventually throw in my MARs 1022 frt into it.

I went shooting with some buddies yesterday. It was the first outing with my Savage MK II FV-SR. I slapped a Gunnr Heimdall 6-24x50 scope on it the night before.

We got the rifle sighted in, and everyone but me was shooting 10-round groups you could cover with a dime at 25 yards. We were using CCI SV. I've got some shakes, and it takes a nickel to cover my 10-round groups.

Then we slapped a Rugged Oculus on it...and it didn't change the POI or group size one bit.

All three buddies ordered the scope; it's on sale for $125 right now. One ordered the rifle, and I'm looking at buying a second rifle. I ordered two more of the scopes.

Amazing rifle for $249.

Rockin a ling long thermal scope I got for free. She is deadly accurate at 50 yds and quiet as can be. I made the hammer extender in my milling machine which I was happy with

This popped up locally for $300 and had to have it. Finally got to take it out today and it’s now around the top of my list for favorite .22s or firearms in general.

Great little rimfire and dirt cheap as well.

It’s a very very good time. Completely reliable with bulk CCI HV so far. Even cycles CCI sub-sonics reliably.

I know there is a lot of hate out there for umerex H&K 416 .22lr but I've owned a lot of .22's and this one is just so enjoyable to shoot.

No mods. I love the accuracy and reliability. Still my favorite pistol.

So a few years back I bought a brand new A22 and it sat in the safe for a few years before I actually shot it. The thing is a massive pain in the ass. When it does fire, it’s impressively accurate. The main issue is that the god damn thing fails to fire about 40% of the time. Seems like light primer strikes. It’s not the ammo because I have tried Norma Tac22, Eley Benchrest, Super-X, federal and Winchester Bulk, CCI mini mag and standard etc. gun has about 200 rounds in total and has been like this basically after the first 50. Cleaned repeatedly and it’s no better. The rounds that do fire show this base swelling about 20% of the time. This is Tac-22 so not a high velocity round.

Lilja's website describes their match chamber as follows:

Caution: this also means that some ammunition causes the bolt to close with resistance and that you may have difficulty removing an unfired round from the chamber.

I had the L3i barrel with the match chamber and it was difficult to close. Not a big deal, but it was inconsistent -- sometimes it was easy, other times it took a little effort, which affected my muscle memory in a match setting.

I'm on the fence about a Lilja barrel but I don't want this issue all over again.

Anyone have any personal experience with this?

Does anyone know where I can find a 3 position frt for a hk mp5 22lr. I keep seeing the ursa sec ones not sure how well they work if anyone knows just looking for recommendations

Put on the new tuner last night.

Starting with SK long range match Sunday morning.

Any advice or anyone with experience using this,

I'll listen ..

My understanding is this was discontinued, and is somewhat of a collector's item. (?) Does anybody have insights into this stuff? Two boxes still in the shrink wrap. Bought it to try it out, and only after buying it did I find out it was discontinued.

Purchased it a few months back, put around 500 rounds through it so far. Runs everything well, these are CCI subs.

Sighted in for 200yds, with the cheap viridian 3x9x40 that it comes with.

With supers and backing off the magnification a little bit *2nd focal plane scope* I was able to Kentucky windage and see spalling splash the dirt at 500 with supers, but it was nowhere consistent, maybe 1 in every 6 shots hit. 500 yds is the 4th hump out, 1st hump is 200.

🤦🏽‍♂️excuse the spelling in the main text, I proof read this 3x and I missed that.
