Thanks for the response Kev.
As to not finishing chamber I feel as you do in that I don't want to muck up what I've done. I don't have the sample size that you or other gunsmiths have but from what I've seen with most barrels is I question the need to. Not that I don't feel its important or...
Setup
I've copied this from the Tony's initial post about how Kevin chambers. Not sure if this was from an initial post 10 years ago or a more recent one. The only reason I bring this up is there really isn't much out there on rimfire chambering as there is centerfire. There are plenty of...
Kevin, please don't be sorry for sharing info or tentative on sharing in the future. Its what I've always appreciated about you. Your being forthright in you findings.
Your credentials speak for themselves & just proves to me at least that its not a one way street..
Keith
I think it would be pretty cool if it comes to fruition. I think we would all gain from it. I'm happy both are willing to share their findings.
I'm not exactly sure what is being tested though. Finished vs unfinished chambers, or chamber length. I guess both.
Keith
I'm not sure how many major matches BD has won but will take a stab at if there's been equal.
Tony, you've won a bunch with your rifles. How many major matches have you won with Tack Driver or TDX?
Chuck has with his over the years.
B.Brandt has won his fair share comes to mind.
And then there's...
It might be a good option for rimfire rifles that have a threaded muzzle but doubt there's any interest from br shooters threading the muzzle of a taper lapped barrel for fear it would open it up a few tenths negating all thats gone into it. Especially since there's already several excellent...
As I said I have limited experience shooting 100yds with a tuner. Most of it done in less than ideal(comfortable) temperatures also. I was able to improve upon my groups after adjusting my tuner but was never satisfied with how the rifles shot.
You may find more info on tuners/100yds on rimfire...
1. sometimes, not usually, don't be afraid to. Shouldn't be a wholesale change, not more than a few clicks.
2. Yes, at least for me at 100yds with what little I'd tried it. Tend to agree with Lee though in that its ammo dependent.
YMMV
I hear 'ya. News travels real slow.
FYI, there's a factory class now too, evidently. Call Jason per the rules. Last I'd heard they would be minimal as far as restrictions. Meaning anything goes, as long as its completely factory. That may have changed though.
Keith
Todd, the size of the scoring rings hasn’t changed. The outer back ring was removed as well as a ring on the sighter.
Happened some time last year. I ran out of the old targets 2 matches ago but had bought the new from Jason last fall. 1st shot it at Braxton in late July/ early August.’21
It was...
Nice target George! However its the old target with 3 black outer rings, opposed to the new with only two.
Also the sighters on the sides are smaller on the new target.
Keith
I find the smaller sighters on the side a little more difficult with a 6x. Otherwise, not much difference.
I do like the narrower width as far as rest travel though, not that it was ever an issue, just like it better.
Good you didn’t weed thru the tuner thread. Nothing but piss & moan in it. Why it’s a “sticky” is beyond me!
EAL looks to be right, it looks like a Fudd.
See an old post on 6br below

Guys, out of respect for (4628) could you take this over to the tuner thread. Although somewhat amusing, it has no place here.... we all know how you feel about each other, ok?
Stuart, you're welcome. I was remiss in not also mentioning Jim Peightal as he build excellent stocks as well.
If 6oz is all you need to loose you might considr a Leopold BR 36, the lightest I know of, single screw rings, & if needed wittle a little out of the Lidgard stock as Scott mentioned...
I picked up a stock from John a couple years ago & really like it. I've not seen him post anything here But if you go to Accurate Shooter site he can be found. He make them in various species of wood. Mine's walnut,.900 barrel, Sightron 45x & I'm under 10lbs
I can get you his contact info if...
I've never noticed that drastic with rf. I'm going to have to pay more attention I guess. Its my understanding that its best to be tuned at the top of the wave opposed to the bottom.
Mike, any idea why we sometimes induce horizontal into the group when moving a tuner? I figured it was due to...
