Pike Arms target 10/22 bolts

[Cameramonkey]

I had heard about a guy you could send your 10/22 bolt in to be accurized. Squaring up the bolt face, sharpening and pinning the firing pin, etc. Then I ran across these bolts and decided to get one to get the accuracy without being without my bolt for a month. It worked. Not a huge change, but noticeable.

And I found it interesting that some ammo is improved more than others. The Mini Mags were already fairly accurate. Not a huge difference. But the Aguila ammo was night and day different.

I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. I was considering getting a Savage a22 to have something more accurate. I've stopped looking. Ive got my tack driver already now.

That could be the difference between hit and miss on a squirrel head. Have to check them out.

Distance?

Only 25 yards. It was an outdoor range and the winds were whipping around today. I didnt want wind to be too much of a factor. (Thats why I'm high. Zeroed at 50)

I believe this is the guy you were referring to who reworks the bolts:

I'm surprised that the Pike Arms bolts doesn't have the pin above the firing pin.

I've looked at the Pike Arms offerings before and just never purchased.

The only thing I didnt do was throw rando cheap ammo downrange. Ive heard the modded bolts can be finicky.

Yep. Once I have stress tested this bolt, I'll probably send my factory bolt to him.

Any updates on running cheap ammo with this bolt? I’m on the edge of upgrading while it’s on sale.

Ive only tried good ammo, and it improved both to varying degrees. It cant hurt to buy one, IMHO.

Just dont expect to get a silk purse out of a sow's ear. cheap ammo is still cheap ammo no matter how good of a bolt/rifle you use.

Your right. I’ve got a Marlin 22lr for the cheap stuff.

I’ve already got a nice bull barrel. Would this bolt be a good next addition or am I skipping some steps? It’s for small game & I guess running quality ammunition would be a good idea anyways. Just looking around the forum it sounds like ammunition can make a huge change in accuracy.

Do it. It won’t hurt. I’d buy it again in heartbeat.

This is another option for a bolt. I don't have any experience with them, but my plan is to get one if CPC rework doesn't work out.
