Pretty much everything is available to us here, most popular full size rimfire choice is to get a Rim-X with either a PROOF Prefit or have a barrel spun up by your favourite rifle builder and drop it into a chassis/stock that suits your purpose.

Yes I had the ARCA spigot on mine, it helped push more weight further forwards.

I put about 7k rounds of 6.5 creed through rifles in a bravo back in 2019. Didn’t like the small pistol grip or having to remove the cheek piece to get the bolt out. The recoil lug also floated on the Howa inlet which always made me nervous. The lack of simple options to increase the weight or add simple things like an ARCA rail was annoying as well. if you’re looking at a bravo also consider an MDT XRS, they look similar only they’re easier to live with.

That’s a good question, I’ll have to check once I’m back home.

Rimfire ammo is usually poor over the chrono as it doesn’t really matter much when shooting for group close range. The Eley was only a small sample of 25rd as well. My current lot of SK Long Range has been the exception and the consistency over the chrono translates to good vertical further out.

I tried some Eley match through my Rim-X midweek whilst visiting a tunnel range. Top group is 10 at 100m, middle is 10 at 50m and bottom was the last 5 shots in the mag at 50m. It shows some promise, though I expect it would improve with the tuner. I did notice the lighter coloured lead bullets makes it easy to watch them in flight.

Is there much of a temp difference between the two session?

Did you chamfer the mouths? That has marked impact on seating consistency in my experience. I’m running through a batch of virgin BR brass currently, mandrel and a chamfer is all it’s getting before loading. So far the results have been excellent.

Looking good! That new barrel looks to be working well.

Can confirm the Garmin is very easy to use and even captures Airgun pellets reliably.

Bargain for someone 😊

How much cant do you need? 20, 30, 40 and 50MOA rails are readily available for the 457.

Loved visiting Budleigh, it’s a great range. Nice one dude, conditions were great yesterday. SK Match and LRM has been a great performer in our rifles over the past few years. I’d love to try some Midas or Tenex, however the performance I get consistently makes me reluctant to change anything. The only person you need to be better than is your own last performance, keep tracking it and enjoy the process.

Looking good dude, was that indoors or outdoors?

I helped Dad zero his NV earlier this evening, as I’d cleaned the chamber and swapped chassis on my 22 after the worlds. I wanted to get some rounds down it before this weekend’s match. The group is 10 shots at 100y, shot as quickly as I could run the bolt. The first shot went left and after watching that one in, I held 0.2 right. It usually takes 20-30 shots to settle in after a chamber cleaning and I expected to have to adjust the tuner following the chassis swap, but it looks like conditions were pretty good!
