Yeah, they want you to foul the barrel a little for break in before testing. 750 on a 22 is really easy to do though.
I typically call up champions choice and they have the lot numbers and speeds for their ammo and go pick it out for you while you are on the phone. I just placed an order to...
It used to be better bc you could mail the gun to them. Now you have to go through an FFL both ways. You can still go to the Ohio center in person though.
Eley is about to open their version of the test center in Tennessee. Not sure if they'll let you mail it in or if you need to be present
CZ calls it the 22 match chamber. Everyone who I have spoken to with the MTR is surprised with how accurate it is.
If you are going to just ditch the stock, you could also just buy the action and a prefit barrel for it. IBI, lothar Walther, and lilja make profits. Modacam can also spin up a...
The MTR would be my choice of those three. It has a slightly different and tighter chamber which tends to lead to better accuracy. The AT one may have the same chamber, but I know the MTR has it. The varmint does not to my knowledge.
I would recommend the cz 457 MTR with the longer barrel for having fun like you are saying and then eventually going to matches. It has a tighter chamber and all of them that I have seen are very accurate. The magazines are also a little more reliable...
There were a couple of things happening, but the main thing was lack of attendance due to announcing it a little late. There will be other matches this year.
As for what rifle to run, I would go with whatever you are most comfortable with. I do recommend a first focal plane scope with a reticle...
Sold the Vudoo as I am on team RimX :)
If someone wants to try out the sport and doesn't have a rifle, I have a second RimX in an ACC elite chassis with good glass for them to try at this match.
Actually there are only two of us signed up so far. Link to sign up is below

This is a great chance to try out PRS style shooting. If you are on the fence bc you don't have a rifle, let me know and I'll have a second rifle and ammo you can use if you are in my squad
If you are starting a build from scratch, I would recommend the Kidd Supergrade receiver and barrel. It helps fix one of the weak points on the 10/22 receiver. It uses a different tenon to mount more securely. It also lets you have a rear mounting point if you want it. I have seen a lot of Kidd...
I am on the waiting list and came with my application. They will tell you to mail it so that they can use the mailing date as an order number.
You will need members to sponsor you.
For most PRS/MARS style matches, you will see 2+ moa target sizes. Typically you will see 3 moa between 100 to 180 ish yards. After that, targets typically get bigger to account for the ammo not being quite as consistent as centerfire ammo. The only time you will really see a 1 moa target size...
I made one below, but mine likely won't work for you as I have a lot of oddities with my base data. I am running a long barrel and kind of fast (1130 fps) with Eley match. I am using custom bc curves from Applied Ballistics so I just have to adjust the velocity. I am also zeroed at 57 yards and...
You can look up the ft Meade gun club calendars and they don't seem to open up range 1 (the 600 yard range). I have been watching their sites and just don't see it on there.
Your best bet for an open range day is Delmarva or peacemaker on one of their open days. If your son has never shot...
Long range 22 lr is a blast. If the wind is calm, 500 on a larger plate is pretty doable. Waiting for a calm day to try 600. Hoping that they start doing ELR matches after MARS/PRS matches more regularly at Mayberry and SPSS and a few other spots that can do it.
I have two of their 4.5 to 30 scopes and a razor gen 3. The tracts are nice. Once you get to that level of optic though, it's the minor differences that you pick up on. First, the colors in the scope were a little warmer. The FoV is a little smaller than the razor. You either love or hate the...
