[MrSavage204]

i shoot benchrest and it does get expensive but i dont see how people dump 2 or 3 grand into a 22. im not disin 22 benchrest cuz it is fun i just wouldnt spend that kind of money on a 22

[killer4life1000]

does the muzzle brake fit bull barrels or do i have to custamize the barrel or break?

[pereiramateus]

@killer4life1000 The Volquartsen m/brake clamps to the barrel. No custom work is required.

esta arma precisa que licença, licença federativa (tiro desportivo) ?

[pereiramateus]

@wartree Em Portugal carece de Lic. Federativa "A" e da correspondente Lic. de Uso e Porte de Arma (LUPA) emitida pelo Min. Adm. Interna via Dir. Nacional da PSP.

[wartree]

@pereiramateus São estritamente necessárias essas duas licenças ou a primeira é apenas para motivos de competição? A lupa será classe d ou c?

[pereiramateus]

@wartree A arma em questão, em Portugal, apenas tem enquadramento desportivo - como tal são necessárias as duas lic. indicadas. A LUPA aplicável é a de "Tiro Desportivo". A classe da arma é classe "C".

[wartree]

@pereiramateus Obrigado, a licença federativa D (recreio) pode ser alternativa, ou mesmo só a A(competição).

[SuperKnifeGuy]

aonde é que conseguiste arranjar essa ruger? Porque eu também vivo em portugal e não sei onde arranjá-la.

[pereiramateus]

@SuperKnifeGuy ... consultar o representante da marca "Ruger" em Portugal: A. Montez Lda.

[SuperKnifeGuy]

@pereiramateus obrigado

[scoutII345]

Those are rediculously high scope mounts.

[pereiramateus]

@scoutII345 The high mounts were a proof of concept - e.g. to prevent excessive contact with stock and also to deal with some drop issues. This kit was changed afterwards - "refactores" with another stock (a Bell & Carlson) for metallic silhouette shooting. All things considered the 10/22 Target (even with "tons" of Valquartsen upgrades, such as this kit has) is not a "serious" option for the extreme precision of competitive Benchrest shooting.

[ricster103]

It is best to have the scope as close to the bore as possible , those are really high mounts.

[y2legs1sFine]

just got my volquartsen trigger assembly in today, pricey but seems to be worth it

[rockyroad19]

What brand is the top on your benchrest.Is it a windage adjustable top.

[pereiramateus]

@rockyroad19 ... Italian made by "Varide Cicognani"

[andyinoutwood]

nice set up wots with the high mounts??

[s01ca]

Is there a difference between a 22 bolt action a semi auto when accounting for accuracy and power?

[ansterds]

ok thank u very much

[ansterds]

Hey what do u prefer the stock 10/22 or the target model and dose the target model make much of a difference when shooting.?

[pereiramateus]

In fact neither the standard stock or the target model (laminated wood) stock area adequate for Benchrest (BR) shooting. I found, for both BR and Metallic Silhouette, the Bell & Carlson "Anschutz" model stock to be the more adequate in the non custom market.

[pereiramateus]

@ansterds IMHO the Target model is worth the extra investment. Bull barrel has better performance over the standard one.

[pereiramateus]

This Ruger 10/22 Target is a free floater from factory. Barrel and stock are spaced - can be filled with a dollar bill. This model / setup will offer a precision at 50 meters (approx. 55 yards) that will be, on best, cloverleafs, not one hole.

[fredrf3110]

@pereiramateus

I know my 10/22 target wasn't a free floater from factory. Have they changed this in the newer model?

[TrenchGunTommy]

So the 22 is pretty much clamped in?I learn new things every day!! Also...Your 22 must punch 1 hole with 5 shots at 50 yards ( Meters?) on that setup on a calm day.I cant even fit a dollar inbetween by barrel and stock ( not good) but she can cloverleaf 3 shots in and around 50. One thing i need to do is get rid of my aluminum scope rail and tig weld a mount on my barrel. Im not a tasco fan but i do have a world class fixed 4 x 44 on her and i love it! Im a fan of fixed power.Thanks friend !

[TrenchGunTommy]

The scope mounts seem a bit high. You should prob get a cheek piece for a positive cheek weld or lower mounts. I have the same one with lowboys on it. Its been a very good 22 for me the last 10 years or so with several trips out west varmiting.

[pereiramateus]

On the sport of Benchrest 50 the use of high mounts offers a stance where the shooter has a "forced" less contact with the stock - and, thereby, less interference on (extreme) accuracy. This is not a setup for varmint but for BR50. Thereby it's a little "odd" ... but for a particular purpose .

[pereiramateus]

Muzzle brake did not produce any negative effect. The moderation in recoil was low if any (since the original .22 LR recoil is already very low). I end up removing it.

[dove0hunter]

did the muzzle brake affect your accuracy or make the gun louder and did it reduce the recoil or didnt it ?
