August Rimfire Match:

[KSCCHTrainer]

Thanks guys,
I had to go try it out anyway, Someone on one of the local Wichita forums turned me on to Kidd Innovative Designs' $89 "drop-in" trigger job. It turned out to really be a drop-in as well. I'd done the stoning myself or the original and got it down to 3.5 pounds but it still had a bit of creep and over travel. Bought a Power Custom trigger, sear/hammer combo from Midway and installed that. It came to 3 pounds with still a bit of creep and some over travel as well. The Kidd Designs trigger, sear & hammer combo dropped in mine with no adjustment needed, but it does have adjustable take-up and over travel and it breaks perfectly at 2 pounds by my Timney trigger gauge. Even the pound and a half reduction with no creep and no over travel made a huge difference in the ability to make it shoot the way I wanted it to. I had to do a bit more work with a file when I got home, but on the Power Custom aluminum competition mag release. It was hanging up on the bolt hold-open device and with the bolt locked back, the mag wouldn't stay in. After a bit of study, I figured out where to remove the metal and now everything works perfectly. The BX-25 mags finally work like they are supposed to - Makes the bugger look almost like a Real Dragunov with a huge AK mag in it -

Match Extension:

nice shooting everyone, maverick its already sept and never had time to shoot these matches, is there anyway we could continue this onto september? or you have other ideas for the month

thanks

ifit, it's still August here...but I don't think I'll have a chance to shoot this month (=in the next 0.5hr.) either, so barring any disputes I don't have any problem extending the match till the end of September. When the weather turns cold (Nov.-Feb.?) I think I'll make this a bi-monthly match just to give everyone a chance to shoot.

 

[Centurian22]

I'm ok with the extension as it will give me a chance to re-shoot this one. Not to get complicated but is there any chance of the (now) Oct match coming out a week early or having an overlap? I will be gone the whole month of October. This won't be a prob if the Oct will be carried over to Nov like you've discribed for the colder months.

Sure, how about a 2wk. extension to this one and a long October match (6wks.)? I anticipate a very busy October as I plan to start the patent application process on a design that I have come up with so I will likely be tied up with attorneys, investors, and potential clients for some time, so a couple extra weeks might allow me to get out and shoot when I otherwise I, too, wouldn't have the opportunity.

Would that work for everyone?

 

[ifit]

2 week extension sounds good, then a long october. off tomorrow....range here i come

 

[KSCCHTrainer]

Works for me too. I'm in the process of buying a server array and it will keep me pretty busy loading and configuring the op systems and other stuff as they are coming to me with bare drives, no software.

Match Extended Two Weeks:

Great, it's settled then.

This one will close on Friday, September 14th and October's match will start on the 15th of September.

 

[RBH44]

It's great to see this extented into Sept. I printed off these targets first thing and fully intended to shoot this one early this month but things just got busy as hell. I've got the next two days off so I'll be out to the range for sure.
BTW, as usual, excellent shooting this month guys. Hope I can measure up!

 

[Maverick223]

Glad to hear it.

Ok Fellas No Laughing

Well since we expanded the time for this match, I decided to give it my best try with a AR15 dedicated 22LR platform. The official name I gave it was Mutt. This really was just supposed to be a range test considering I just put an armalite two stage trigger in this spikes lower this morning and wanted to make sure function was 100%.

I was absolutely shocked to find out this would cycle with CCI SV 22LR. I am proud and amazed to report that even with 300 rounds of CCI SV, function was 100%. This was my first group from sandbag rest at 25 yards, 15 shots.




Class: Unlimited, Magnified, Front Sandbag rest, Distance 50yard Indoor Range
Platform: Mutt Nikon P-22 2-7x32, Spikes Lower, Armalite 2 Stage Trigger, CMMG with Ciener Conversion upper
First Target:
10, 10X, 10X, 10
10, Discard, 10, 10x
Discard, 10x, 10x, 9
Total=99-5x


Second Target:
Discard, 10x, 9, 10
8, Discard, 10, 9
9, 10x, 10x, 10x
Total=95-4x


I am completely shocked!!!!! But Smiling ear to ear.

Sporting Class Entry

I just got this back from ATI, it was the very first version of the GSG5, The ATI Customer Service was top notch. I sent it back to have all the new improvements made to it like the staked ejector. I was also shocked to find this functioned 100% with 200 rounds of CCI SV, all I have ever fed it previously to sending it back was CCI Mini Mags.

Class: Sporting, Seating Elbow Rested on Table, 25 Yards.
Ammo: CCI SV
Platform: GSG5, Cheap AIM Red Dot


Target:
Discard, 8, 10x
9, 8, 10
Total = 45-1x

I don't know what there is to laugh at...good show in both divisions, Mr.Revolverguy.

Well I figured I would be laughed out of town because of the two platforms. Heck I was even asked by the range officer what's up with the toys.

Heck, see my post or two on the "Crickett" youth rifle I made into a cheap survival gun. Nobody laughed at that platform and both of yours turned in pretty doggone good accuracy IMO!

I will say that you probably stumbled on the exact ammo that GSG likes after being returned from the factory. After re-barreling my stock 10/22 with a target barrel, it only seems to want Wolf Match Target ammo for real tight groups, but it WILL cycle with about anything.

Again, good shooting.

 

[Mr.Revolverguy]

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that can't add right - I've had a couple like that but it's always more face-reddening when you add an extra one rather than subtract it which is what I usually wind up doing.

Still very good shooting and those older Marlin 81DL's are really super rifles! Yours looks almost new. Wish I hadn't gotten rid of the one I had but somebody offered me about twice what I paid for it so, me being the mercenary type that I am, he now owns it.

I refinished the stock on this one, it's worth a lot to me as it was my Grandfathers and has taken many rabbits.

 

[Slapshot]

Here is my submission for open sights. I shot it with a handgun from the Creedmoor position. This is the one that I used to shoot IHMSA .22 Silhouettes with.
Thompson Center Contender
CCI SV
I do not have a open sight rifle so I used what I had. If it doesn't count that is ok. I shot three targets and this one was best. The others were 36 and 40. The record target is 47-2X.

 

[Maverick223]

Well done, Slapshot, and from a somewhat unusual position (at least outside of the competition circuit) to boot. I'm not inclined to create a new division, but pistols are fine. I've shot from the Creedmoor (supine) position with long bbl'd rifles, and though I have seen it done I've never given much thought to trying it with a long bbl'd pistol until now. I might have to give that a shot sometime.

 

[Mr.Revolverguy]

Awesome job slapshot and great idea, I need to try and get out again and see how I can do with this Volquartsen transformed MKII

 

[MrBorland]

Awesome job slapshot

+1.

Very nice. The target, too. Great shooting.

 

[Slapshot]

Thanks for the kind words guys. The Contender don't shoot as well as it did ten years ago. I think there is something wrong with the sights because I can not see them very well anymore. Tough to get old isn't it?

Thanks, but that's as good as we (me, gun & ammo) can do right now.

I use CCI SV as general target ammo; it seems to do relatively well across the board, so I can stock up on it and use it in a number of guns with reasonable accuracy. A little time spent experimenting to find this gun's preferred ammo would be worthwhile, though.

Well, I picked up some Eley Match ammo, and my CZ seemed to like it a little better than the CCI SV I've been using. I didn't quite ace it, but close, so the ace is still up for grabs. The upper left 10-x was very close, but it nicked the line, confirmed by a superimposed empty case.

Gun: CZ452 UltraLux
Ammo: Eley match
Sights: BRNO aperture
Position: Prone
Distance: 25 yards
Class: Target/unmagnified
Score: 50-4x

 

[Mr.Revolverguy]

WOW great shooting. I am still on the lookout for which ammo my Savage TR likes.

Awesome shooting

 

[Maverick223]

Very nice, MrBorland!

 

[Centurian22]

Awesome shooting everyone. It's great to see so much more participation in the irons and both sporting classes keep it up!

 

[KSCCHTrainer]

With my penchant for rescuing rimfire guns, I just picked up an almost perfect used Henry lever action .22LR. This gun is a couple years old and has been so well cared for, it looks brand new. Not a chip or ding on the wood and the bluing is perfect. Just brought it home and the only picture I have of it came from my camera phone - not the best. I'll take some better ones in the morning. Will also try to get it to the range in the Irons division before I put the scope on it and again with the scope before the match runs out at the end of the week and see how it shoots.

Testing the action, it's really smooth and feeds 10 snap caps perfectly. It has the factory sling studs installed and I got a little Tasco 3-7 X 30 rimfire scope with it that's new in the box - not mounted and he even added a 100 round box of CCI Mini-Mags.
