My new .22 (BTVS)

[07blackwater]

Just got this baby.

My new BTVS. I put a 4-12X40 trophy on her. (Ya I'm on a bit of a budget)

I have to take the scope rings back and get some taller ones, there's only about .020" clearance at the front and the objective ring doesn't have enough clearance.

.....I don't want to hear any comments about my socks!

Nice gun. Weird pair of socks.

 

[07blackwater]

I do it that way so I can remember which foot to put them on.

Thank-you, now I have clean the coffee off my computer screen.lol

Do you have another pair just like them ?

Ya but they're left handed.

Ohh how I miss my mark II. These rifles are wicked shooters. Try running some slower target rounds through it. They shoot unbelievable well.

 

[07blackwater]

I'm going to try a few boxes of various brands after I get the new rings on it. I can't wait.

 

[Skyllz]

Definitely my next rifle... in left handed like that guy in the other thread.

Ugly gun ...Nice Socks!

(had to do it since you asked us not to slag on your socks)

























Oh, fine, it is a great looking gun too!

Looks good. Try some Remington Subsonics, CCI Standard Velocity, and any SK, Lapua, and Eley, that you can find and afford. Target ammo (which is subsonic) drifts less in the wind and is more accurate even with no wind. Here is the method I used on mine to adjust the trigger down to 10-12 oz, and also the bedding method I used.

Rimfire AccuTrigger Tuning

BTVS Bedding

Also the other way to gain some height is to replace the factory supplied bases with some Weaver ones. The Savage ones are about 0.146" high. The other ones that fit are:

#12 - 0.155" (don't gain much)
#24 - 0.271" (probably would work best for you)
#68 - 0.399"

OK, I grabbed the first ones handy because I wanted to go get my new rifle! lol

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm a member of the PoCo range and it's sheltered by berms so I don't expect wind to be an issue but I'll definitely keep your advice in mind.

CCI standard velocity worked extremely well in my rifle. You could also try out Federal Gold Medal Match ammo.

Anyone know where to get a sun shade for a Bushnell?

 

[rig_pig69]

Nice rifle. Just curious though what you gain by using the windage for elevation with the scope?? Or is that scope different then the rest?

LMAO - good catch! The socks distracted me from the scope being out by 90 degrees!

 

[07blackwater]

....the mismatched socks was the first hint!

Where do I send the prize?!

 

[hifly78]

I love Mine. Left Handed.

Took her out to 400 yards. Tones of fun. And its a good buy.
