They're shooting 1000yds with them. Pretty sure terrorists have nothing to do with it.Wake me up when these actually do something superior to sk, Lapua, eley on paper

Chasing the NRL.22 & PRS .22 crowd I imagine. My Vudoo liked it a lot, along with Center X, which it liked best of the four tested that day.The way things are going in the zeal to make .22 rimfire rifles, by some, as best they can, I can only believe that much interest could be generated here with many of the owners who are becoming interested in both precision and long range .22 rimfire shooting. So, as for me, I wonder what SK had in mind for putting out this type of .22 rimfire offering?
:
I’m picking up my Mk IV upper tomorrow, shopping frames, AND looking at complete pistols currently. That will give me 3 pistols, a few revolvers, and nearly 2 dozen rifles in rimfire calibers Safe to say I’m a fan, and beyond my own kids, I am constantly introducing others at the club to rimfire shooting, usually after noting a struggle with centerfire.
Always felt a dedicated sub forum would be beneficial.
Me want!! [pant pant]Cutting Edge dropped these for Rimfire ELR
Bore just might last 10 rounds or so.
Seems there's been quite an upsurge in the interest of many folks
I've hunted with the guys from Cutting Edge and used their bullets. I can say with 150% certainty that this endeavor is not something that has been entered into lightly."Cutting Edge dropped these for Rimfire ELR"
No doubt someone there would drop the idea once they came to their senses. Lathe turned solid copper bullets up against rimfire rifling 0.0020 to 0.0025 in height? Bore just might last 10 rounds or so. Impractical at best!
My friend sent me pics of targets he shot with his 457 MTR. Just as amazing as yours. My next purchase I think.As far as seeing some MORE than decent, and some even being even more than acceptably accurate, I've seen and purchased one CZ 457 MTR that is much more than what I expected for the "price-point" paid. This is my "Tack-Driver Target" that I shot using SK Rifle Match .22 rimfire ammunition from an "as-is" out-of-the-box CZ 457 MTR rifle . All I did was mount the scope and bore sight this rifle:

After conditioning the bore with several rounds and getting bullet impact to where I wanted it to be, I shot the above target at 45 yards.
One of the main reasons involved with its accuracy is how the bolt chambers the rounds:

The bullets first driving band engages the leade and, in my mind, firmly helps with getting the bullet aligned with the bore center-line. After purchasing this rifle, I have sorta dropped my hopes of getting an Anschutz version at twice the price of this one.

@Varminterror no coating on those? Any speak of how bore prep is handled?

That has not been the observation in the field.
Ive spent about 3X more money on .22s than big bores over the last few years. I dunno, most centerfires just bore me. View attachment 1031817
Yup, one of my faves too.Is that a Model 17 I spy? Inherited my dad's when he passed. My favorite gun, for obvious reasons.
I think it's a great thing to have more interest in rimfire shooting.I had a Ruger Precision Rimfire follow me home 3 weeks ago,and it's been fun trying to see what I can get it to do at longer range.No recoil,little noise and fairly cheap to shoot.And I don't have to burn up powder and primers that I can't afford to use up until the hoarding,scalping,cargo container delaying,stupid for paying folks find something else to screw their fellow man out of.I remember being picked on for spending 3 bills or so for a 541S Remington back in 1980.Other guys said I was crazy to spend that much on a 22.Why not?It's been shot more than any other firearm I have,and is as accurate now as it was 40 years ago.

Maybe NOT, yet, but the window of opportunity is WIDE open for bullet land wear. And besides, I just LOVE the idea with shooting .22 rimfire because there's no stinkeen need to compile those expensive loads, loading 'em up. Also, no need to order "special" barrels with "special" twist rates.
All one needs to do is grab a few boxes and head out to the range:
Of course, you DO have to swallow the idea of shooting ~60¢/shot 22LR.
Every now and then, Mark IV pistol bolts can be had off ebay, fully stuffed with parts, reasonably priced.
