I have been thinking of getting a stainless takedown 10/22 with the backpacker stock. I dont have anything like this, but I would like to see what the guys of Rokslide have put together, rimfire or centerfire, that may give me ideas of which direction to go. Thanks!
I am keeping my eyes out for the upcoming Primary Arms GLX 1x microprosm. I think it's got a few months before it's available to the public though. That might be a good piece for these setups, although I like the Romeo so far.
I torqued 30, backed off, 30 backed off, then finally 40. The mass produced guns where the glass tube needs to pass through the barrel nut teeth are just cranked on until they get the opening to line up. I bet a lot of those are in the 60-80 range at times.
I also have heard accuracy is better...
I'd get a 6.5 CM. No way it isn't around in 30 years and still popular. It kills everything fine. It's fun to shoot. Modern bullets will be designed around the 6.5 CM cartridge. Barrel life isn't too short. Just a good all around decision IMO.
I'll admit I've not used those bullets, but what I have read is their BC is likely inflated enough that you may easily be at 1900fps at 500 yards not 600 using your muzzle velocity. Youd really wanna do your own validation before trusting that information. Just an FYI.
I wonder that too. Maybe sometime I'll try it with the 3-9 Leupold I have laying around in a cantilever mount. I would assume I'd would have to get below an inch with 5 shots more often than not.
This is the first time I've shot any, but it seems to get a lot of praise on this site. I was going to just used 140 ELDMs in factory ammo but it seems like it's only running 2600-2650 fps range.
Just to follow up I just shot mine at 43 grains and shot 2866 average at saami oal and 2816 at a long oal for 0.010" jump. Shot 5 shots in 0.92" and 0.80". Pretty good for my first CM load(s) out of a 24" hunting gun imo.
Had to sight in again since I changed the mount for the Romeo 5. Put 5 shots into 1.35" at 100. I really can't argue with that since I can barely see the target, and I'm just trying to center the dot over the outer part of the black circle. Edit - 2628 fps average with the 77tmk with compressed...
Not me but my buddy had terrible luck with Remington '06 ammo not firing. The primer was struck deep but no bang. No issues with Federal. Missed a nice buck because of it. I saw it at the range too with the same lot of ammo.
You probably already saw it but the closest thing I could find was some SR25 prototype that was still different from what you have. Can you just drill a hole or make a threaded hole for a more standard one?
