3 years late here. My eyebrow went up when you said it “doesn’t shoot.” Groups under an inch (some brands were closer to half an inch) at 50 yards is not too shabby for a .22. Remember, it’s a $400 gun. If you shoot competitively, that many not be good enough for you, but I’m guessing that you know by now that no one is winning matches with $400 guns. Most of the guns I grew up with that we considered accurate .22s were closer to 2” guns at 50.
I believe low rings with 30 MOA base, otherwise you’d have to go medium rings if not high rings. I believe medium rings should work with a non-MOA rail.
@@AimSmallMissSmall_TV Sorry I sounded so negative. I’ve just got into the the CZ 457 and they are good shooting little rifles. But I’m just plinking so with that said I don’t know much about working on them!
Thanks for the honest review. "Overbuilt" is a great way to describe Tikkas. They're hard to top. I'd sort of half-talked myself into trying a different brand for a 17HMR but.. I think I'm just gonna roll with Tikka. Cant go wrong
You know I have a trigger pro 34 and consistently had issues when it gets too over 400 sometimes it takes a while sometimes it doesn’t hold, but I realize that it doesn’t need to be so hot things get to get cooked pretty well when I have mine at 3:50, so all I can say is that I have replaced the heat rod and that helped a lot I didn’t mess with anything else they sent me a fan but the fan looks fine so I’m not gonna mess with it and it’s awfully closed and could be dangerous to try the chickens brisket there day 50 hours and it came out fantastic. Love this thing. It’s a little more Than I thought when it comes to temperature as long as you have new pallets, you’re fine
I got rid of a bunch of that. I may have to switch back to CCI Standard Velocity that I have. I am trying not to buy ammo in CA with the new 11% tax on top of the already 8% sales tax.
@@AimSmallMissSmall_TV here’s the formula: distance to target in yards divided by 100 times wind value in mph divided by MOA wind constant equals MOA of wind favor. For example, shooting standard velocity.22 LR at 100 yards, the cartridge has an MOA wind constant of 2. Now, having appraised the wind condition as a 3 mph crosswind, the formula is 100 divided by 100 equals 1 times 3 mph equals 3 divided by MOA wind constant of 2 equals 1.5 MOA of favor or 1.5 inches. Now since a 3 mph wind is almost impossible to appraise without the aid of smoke, it forces shooters to develop shooter/target analysis skill, plotting all shot calls and bullet strikes in a score book to discern shooter sight adjustment error for wind via the call/strike corollary. My perspective on this is as a US Distinguished Rifleman, American High Power Rifleman in Long-Range, and CMP-USAMU Military Rifle Instructor assisting the USAMU deliver SDM, TTT, and SAFS Training.
Saludos desde España . Me encanta ver tu vídeo, te seguiré ,siempre se aprende y yo soy novato. Acabo de compra un 457 MTR . Creo que no intentaré regular el gatillo!!! Abrazos
What I think weight sorting does is take a bunch of rounds loaded on several different machines and help you pinpoint different machine loads. The chances are that if they are loaded on the same machine they are exact or close to exactly the same. Also I weigh to 10,000ths of a gram....not grain. Also just like certain "batch" numbers are more accurate in your rifle, certain weights are more accurate. The main thing I notice is you get less fliers when you sort. It all depends on just how much points gained by this are needed towards your match score.
Thanks for the input, I actually haven’t weighed ammo since the end of 2022, my scores maybe showing it. I am currently weighing for my match this weekend so we’ll see.
The same crap happens to me. I shoot 5 to 10 round groups to warm/foul the barrel on small shoot n see target with all rounds touching. Move to the ARA targets and shots are all over the place. Maddening!
Do you find the mark 2 Tr 22 to be more accurate and reliable than the savage precision 22 ? Debating on which to get and the rotary magazine seems to be an issue on the B 22.
Personally, I do believe the Mark2 TR is way more accurate then the B22 and yes the rotary mag stinks, in my opinion. If possible consider a Tikka or CZ457.
Its great to catch back up with you on RU-vid. I've always enjoyed your content and have learned a lot from you. As a ARA shooter I know it can be frustrating at times chasing that little dot.
Hi I also put my rounds through a resizing die. You would be amazed even on top brands how the diameter of the lead projectile varies. Resizing gives the same gas seal down the barrel. It does work try it .
Btw, at first when I started it up with the new controller and it started smoking, I closed the lid and it was smoking like hell even out of the lid cracks. What happened was I closed it to soon within approximately 3-4 minutes. Leave the lid open for about 10 minutes, maybe a little less and all will be fine.
Hi guys, I just replaced my Pro 22 controller because I made the mistake of buying one of the generic ones on Amazon and that was a mistake. Now I have a Traeger but this new control did not have a P setting button and the temperature went up to 201 and backed down to 185 on smoke setting. All I had to do was raise the cover on the chimney (counterclockwise) to open until I fine tuned it into 165 on smoke. I hope this helps you.
Chronograph and pay close attention to standard deviation. My MTR w/ cryotreated barrel w/11.5” crown shoots Lapua long range 3.9 standard deviation avg fps 1123. I’m here because Lapua has become hard to get. Midas plus and ten-x are my backup go tos
Take the magazine well off, you can actually see the spring and makes life a whole lot easier, I must say being a gunsmith for near on 40 years this segment was great and demonstrated why we gunsmiths do a 4 year apprenticeship, you are dead lucky not to have cracked or broken the alluminium trigger housing by the use of that oversized punch, this was a great video of what and how not to do this job and all because people want to save $50 which is what i charge to swap and set new springs, trust me the way you went about doing this job, you got off very lucky.
The solution to this problem is actually quite simple: The trigger is set incorrectly (too light)! If you increase the trigger weight by about half a turn of the adjustment screw, this problem will probably be solved immediately. Just try it out!
very good vid, I used the vid to install my YODAVE spring, with some fiddling I got mine to 9-10 oz. I also have a wheeler trigger gauge, I've found out I have to test my triggers at the very end of the trigger and pull more downward, like firing a shot, Only way I could get reliable pull weight.
You probably realize this by now, but a .5" group, shot at 50 yards, is around 1 moa. Not "1/2 moa", as you state. Good video on how your rifle shoots though. Something hopefully most of your viewers know is that every rifle is different. Someone else's rifle may prefer something totally different. Also an eye opener on how ammo prices have changed for the better in the last 3 years. CCI std. velocity can be found all day long for $4.99 now. Most of the other ammo listed is also cheaper right now: Thankfully. As for your suggestions on which cheap ammo to practice with, I would definitely not use TAC 22, as you suggested. That ammo falls very short, in all of my rifles. That is ALL of them. I've actually had better luck with Federal Automatch. That is some ammo you can buy very cheaply, and shoot till your heart is content. It's easy to find too, at you local Wally world.
Thanks for your feedback back and comments. You are correct on the MOA, I sometimes lose my mind while to the videos and miss the mistakes in editing, of course at the time of the video I may have not even given it any thought and not making the connection I don’t shoot at 100 yards. The TAC 22 is an interesting ammo, I’ll get 3 or 4 shots in a decent group and then one flyer sometimes inches away. For my rifles SK Standard + probably a better choice.
Check for weeds, or in my case, bamboo leaves, blocking the air in take under pellet box. That fixed it for me. But this video is what made me look under there, so thank you so much!!!
Don't discount the fliers. You are just lying to yourself and your viewers, if you do. Fliers indicate a major mechanical issue. You need to address that, to minimize the fliers. Don't just discount them. I see Josh also has the same issue. He tries to bandaid stuff by putting on better barrels, but that's a flawed way to look at things, and it's not fixing the issue.
As best as I can tell about 6 oz. At least when I look at the oil container I bought an out 6oz has been used. I hope this helps and I hope I am some what accurate
Not joke just a painful and useful lesson. With a little luck folks got the point to use the right tool for the job. I have successfully installed many more no issues and for excellent tool for the job.
That's not 17. Good shooting though. Here's the rules: 1 shot ONLY per egg - total of 20 eggs on this target you have to find them all 19 eggs are hidden in the grass that equal 1 point per egg. Max points on this challenge is 19 as the large center egg are for spotters only. All hits must be clean hits. If 1 round strikes two eggs you LOSE 1 POINT. If you have previously cleared an egg and counted that point, then you strike that egg shooting at another egg you do not count the first shot as a point and you still LOSE 1 POINT. If you hit a flower then an egg the point does not count Every egg must be attempted at least once. Looks like a pretty solid 15 to me. Also, you did not shoot at one egg. That could have been more deductions, in the big scheme of things. Not just the one point you lose for not hitting it. Probably the reason Eli says you need to shoot at each egg one time.
