The CZickness XLII looking towards the FGE

[mcapo]

I'm researching the most annoying Sirius radio stations tonight, so I can properly entertain my passenger tomorrow morning.

That kidzbop station would drive anyone absolutely insane.

My wife listens to the "TikTok" channel sometimes... Sweet Lord help me.

You mean I need to bring a suitcase even for one day events now???

Make it a briefcase. Cuz we're professionals.

Played around with the Harrell tuner today on the 457. While it was obvious it works, I ended up being above my previous average group size with SK Rifle Match without using the tuner. I normally have shot this rifle using just the factory thread protector, so it must like that being on there. I plan to test further on this rifle with Eley Club and Eley Target. Then I'll put it on the Tippmann rifle and test the two brands it likes (CCI and Aguila SV).

The first four groups in section #1 are the rough group dial in broken down into 4 "groups" consisting of 8 shots in each group (2 shots, adjust up 10 numbers, fire 2 more, etc). Then once I figured out the rifle liked settings 40-70, I dialed that group in further. Ended up figuring out the rifle likes setting 44 the most and 43 close behind. It was super fun, but very time consuming.

Two operator errors became apparent today during this testing. 1) When I use the single shot adapter, like I did today, I need to quit lifting my cheek from the stock to "see" myself loading each round and do it by feel. 2) After I adjusted the factory trigger down to it's lightest pull (just over 1 pound), I realized today that I've developed an issue with jerking the shot after it breaks, I partially blame this on be used to my 2-stage AR triggers that break around 3-3.5lbs on the 2nd stage. I had assistance today from the club president who is a rifle competition shooter. On the last group that measured 0.498, he had me keep my cheek on the stock (which I kept telling myself to do previously) and he loaded each new round for me. By keeping my same cheek weld, the results were obvious. Room to grow!



Then after that, I tried to fine tune my zero with the #44 setting and I think I just got tired, hungry (it was 3 hours after my normal lunch time) and was flat out overthinking the whole process, because my groups started to open up, become erratic and frustrate me. I left the range after this last target was over with.

That was a long way to say that gmcttr is gonna smoke my a$$ tomorrow....in the rimfire competition. I have a chance with centerfire rifles though.

Interesting Carlos! Very interesting about keeping your cheek in the same spot on the rifle.

That’s why your new toy has all of those cool adjustments on the stock…

 

[Benp]

I'm really looking forward to trying it out!
