Sounds like you got a handle on that little rimfire. Good luck on your upcoming match.

A few scrips.What does something like that cost, rifle only?
I love mine. Good choice.Been away from posting for a while, had an alert that my custom .22 Vudoo just arrived at my FFL today. Went to pick it up, its a beauty. Upon arriving at home, I put on the ATACR on the .22, it had a few millimeters to spare of clearing the 22 inch Bartlein MTU barrel. The cycle of the Vudoo 360 action is super smooth and I like it. Going to find some time to shoot it this week. I have 2 bricks of SK Standard Plus, Vudoo advised that it takes about 500 rounds to season the barrel. Once its seasoned, I'll give it a cleaning with some C4 Bore Tech, and try different ammo from Lapua and SK and see how this baby shoots. Shooting the .22 will make me feel like a kid again. The club I'm in do have those .22 small bore matches monthly, shooting 50, 100, 150 and 200 at steel plates as small as 1/4 inches at 50 yards to probably the biggest plate at 200 yards is a 12 inch. Each relay has several plates going from big to small, there are some tiny plates at different distances. Had a match in the beginning of the year using a friend's CZ which placed me in 2nd. Had fun there with new faces over pizza and drinks.
How far are you shooting?I have a few thousand rounds on mine and it’s a tack driver with good ammo. Center X has always produced the smallest groups, but the the long distance shooting I do I’ve had great success with the longrange SK ammo.
350+ that said after 250 it gets really hard even with 2 moa targets.How far are you shooting?

In comparison between the Center X and the SK Long Range, which fared better at 350 yards? I have both brands, but winds have not been very forgiving. Waiting for the best time. I found some Center X a couple weeks ago, I now have two bricks of each lot of Center X and a half brick of Long Range.How far are you shooting?
Good stuff fellas.
General question...
What is the MOA drop for 500 yards?
The reason I ask is our gun club host PRS events. Recently the club bought additional property as a safety buffer. Now they are logging it and building a 500 yard range. The 22 PRS guys are drooling over this. I see trouble coming on this slippery slope as there won't be much of a buffer zone. And it's a matter of time before the area bordering the buffer zone is a subdivision.

Thank you Jim. That's exactly why I asked, figuring 100 MOA points the barrel towards the clouds so to speak. And what happens when someone dials for 500 and forgets to return to zero and shoots at 50 yards....JD , if I have it figured right my set up will need 94.75 MOA at 500 yards . my lease short range goes out to 450 yards , that should take 81 MOA to reach it .
we stopped at 450 yard target , because we were getting high on the hillside backstop .
I chronograph the two and neither stuck out as a better choice, as well as some RWS Match. So I just started shooing the LR SK ammunition here at my home range and the stuff really started to shine at long distances.In comparison between the Center X and the SK Long Range, which fared better at 350 yards?

I know that there has been a lot of issues/complaints by new landowners near the Dawson Creek Sportsmans Club's range over the years.Good stuff fellas.

Jim it blows my mind what you guys are doing with those little rimfires. I am curious on how much wind hold for an 5mph at full value at 450.JD , if I have it figured right my set up will need 94.75 MOA at 500 yards . my lease short range goes out to 450 yards , that should take 81 MOA to reach it .

What effects does using the suppressor have on your rifle's performance?Here’s my Vudoo .22 LR on stage 4 at my place that has six targets from 121-320 yards. Edit note: I never use the suppressor unless my dog is with me.

I just got my .22 Vudoo last summer and never shot past 200 yards, but I'm curious to try. I was fiddling with my Kestrel in my office just now, according to it, the elevation and windage are as follows: E as elevation and W as windage with 9 o clock wind @ 5 mph. Center X .22 velocity is 1075 fps. Of course, temps do affect elevation readings. A more accurate reading is performed by capturing weather values in the field, but in my office I'm learning to fiddle with the numbers.Jim it blows my mind what you guys are doing with those little rimfires.

I was out of elevation at 300 yards . I did shoot at 350 by holding over . I'm not just sure what I had on for wind correction , what Mark has posted looks about right .with the new rail and another scope I should be able to dial out to the 450 yard target . I need to test ammo , get my sig rangefinder programed , and start a bit of a log book . I enjoy the long range shooting more than the hunting . yes I agree , 200 yards is easy . I have my 11 YO grandson shooting 200 , with my gun . he shoots his marlin XT22 to 150 . I'm putting my old scope on his rifle , along with a 20 MOA rail to get him out on a few longer targets . we never got serious about shooting the rimfires . in fact we pretty much stopped shooting our big guns on the long range. food plots and big bucks have taken over the club . I'll leave it at that .Jim it blows my mind what you guys are doing with those little rimfires. I am curious on how much wind hold for an 5mph at full value at 450.
