i have a fudd tuner on my hall rifle. somebody else set it up before i baught it. here is the question. are the fud tuners supposed to slide all the way down the barrel to were the crown of the muzzle is sticking out through the front of it? i have a hoehn tuner on my suhl and it just goes on so far and stops. this looks odd to me and i was wondering if i moved the tuner up and mounted it like the hoehn tuner would it hurt the rifle? i know i would have to retune it, but can i do that with the tuner(set it up like a hoehn tuner)? here is a picture of how it is set up now.

this just looks wrong to me for some reason. this rifle has been giving me fits. i'm looking to figure out the problem. any help on this would be great. it doesn't look to me that it should be clamped at least 3 inches behind the muzzle on the rifle. i could be wrong.:confused:

after finally cleaning the barrel out i desided to move the tuner up to were the base is 1 inch behind the muzzle. i'll have to retune it but i'm ganna give it a try. that barrel was a total mess!!! to forever to get a clean patch out of it, but i finally did. then i ran another wet patch and it came out clean. i ran 7 more dry ones to make sure and all was clean.

ganna do the suhl now!!!!
 
hey big g call jackie and ask him his ideals on this. it just doesn't look right to me set up like it was!!!
 
done deal. i already moved it out. it can'y hurt none. i'll retune it and go from there with it. i might just order a hoehn tuner and put on there. that would be the best ideal i believe!!!!

by the way big g. rimfire is about 4 times harder than centerfire to me. you can tune the bullets to your gun for centerfire. rimfire you have to search and find that magic lot. then tune the gun on in. the wind is about twice the B**** in rimfires as well!!!! at least it is to me anyway!!!

nobody,

fudd makes two styles, one is a flush mount and the other extends over the end,from your only picture , i think yours should be flush mounted back where it was. also the flush mount makes it easier to clean the end

I use to shoot RF BR

and had a 40-x I bought from a man named Blankenship, I think it was. I tried three tuners, a Turbo, a Hoehen and a Fudd. I liked the Fudd best; found it easier to tune my barrel with. I ran mine flush with the crown or just a tad behind it. I had a Burgandy one, that may have made it better :D .
 
I miss the RF George

when you say flush with the crown you mean it stock out like mine did? that just doesn't look right to me. does anybody have contact info for the maker of the tuner? i'd like to talk to him.
 
Just wondering why you changed your name? Can't hide too well when you post the same photo and question under two different names. LOL

dont believe what i tell you then fine.....

i will post a link you can see yourself

i looked at the pictures in the link you put up. what would the difference between the bloop tube tuners and the flush mount tuners be other than the bloop tube? are they the same bore inside and just threaded for the bloop tube to fit into? i'm going to try it with it set out on the end. if it doesn't help i can put it back like it was or get another tuner. the tuner on my other rifle sets out way past the muzzle and it tuned perfectly. it can't hurt to try it anyway. it's not like it is permant you know. it just might help then again it just might not. i'll never know if i don't try it will i?


nipper what kind of tuner do you have? i e-mailed scott and asked him what his ideals would be. he made it so he might have more insight than we do to it.

he also builds the same style/types but different weight, not screw on or add on, but the whole assembly

i use a time precision--the original question you had was--- is this right/wrong--flush or does it extend past-- weather it will work extended i have no idea,from your picture it looks to me like its one of his flush mount tuners,thats what i answered..

i got a reply from scott this morning. he said that the tuner can be moved on out to the end of the rifle barrel. i'm going to test it and retune it this way. he also told me his method for tuning a tuner on a rifle. i'm going to folow his instructions to the letter and see what happens now.here is what scott said:

Derek,
Yes, you can move the tuner forward. When I tune, I shoot 5 shot groups and move the tuner 3 numbers between groups. You can start anywhere, but I will start 3-5 turns out and continue going out. When I get 2-3 good groups, I go back and play around those numbers to get the best round group. That is my tuning method for any kind of tuner. As far as buying a different tuner to put on the barrel, a tuner is a tuner. Going to a different brand will not magically make a barrel shoot. It is either the ammo or more than likely the barrel. I do not like &^%$#@!(edited for safety) barrels for rimfire.

Thanks,

Scott




thanks you scott for taking the time to help me out.
