Tuna can

I have to say I dont get the point of people still arguing about the effectivness of the tuner on a 22lr.
Other than this post, internet is flooded with information and test on the subject. Google Primat right, Eric Cortina, tuner, and youll get more info if really what you see here dont satisfy your curiosity on the subject.

I personnaly been able to remove the tuner, disassemble all my 22 for cleaning after 5k rounds, reassemble everything, reset the tuner at zero, tune it again and it gave me about the same results as my first experiment, and to the same increment setting, wich I was not expecting (samme ammo, same lot).

To be true, we are talking about à 200$ piece of hardware, you can just buy one, test it yourself and stop being à forum queen asking everyone else to do something youll never be as satisfy as you would do it yourself. Better than that, Paul have a satisfaction warraty, so if you prove all of the top 22lr shooters that use the device wrong, youll be able to get your money back. Fantastic ! (Plus youll get some real stuff to post here)
 
On an other note,

Here is some testing of "cold mitigation" effect on the tuner. I was just out testing if I could use the same tune in winter.
It was a windy day (10 mph+), so not helping, but it gave me my answer.
First Row is 1 notches under my usual setting, second row is my summer setting, third row is one notch after my summer setting. So im comfortable with keeping my summer setting like that and not messing too much around (at -10C)

Thanks for proving what I suspected about the tune vs ambient temps. I don't shoot much anymore when cold but we get REAL hot locally... nice to know a tweak can account for seasonal affects.

Hope you ring lots of steel this season.

Stay well...

Name calling aside,Yanick, the point is not whether tuners work, because they do.

The point is that no one posting on this thread, despite claims to the contrary, has demonstrated any results showing that their tuner does what they should do when properly set. Even the data you've provided earlier in this very thread shows an inconsistency in results that's difficult to reconcile with an effectively tuned barrel.
 
Yeah everyone knows me, i dont give your name only because I dont know it.
At this point you might just be blind or expecting everyone to fill an excel of their results multiple times. Some of us have been quite busy during the Last year, and not caring that much to provide more evidence on a forum just mean maybe we talk about this stuff on the field, where it really matters. I come on CGN like 2 or 3 times à YEAR, I wont lose my time making more graphic and data to push an argument when after my testing its being more than proofed over time. I prefer using my time training, working or for familly time.
Anyway, on my perception, the first few test provided on 2 different rifle showing that on some spot the tuner give better accuracy repetidly, and on other spot worse is a first answer. Providing the same fact on a second rifle is confirming that it gives you accuracy nodes. You need more proofs of this or all the pictures are enought for this part?
Then second aspect is that it gives you the same result multiple days, on the same rifle same setup. And it does. Why do people dont show pic of the same 0.25inch group 3 days in a row? Because its being boring. People who saw me shoot at a match have seen the groups my cz455 can do all the year around. The same setup have won NRS series 2 year in a row, and print 0.25inch group almost everyday. If its not enough, or if you need a excel of everytime I go to the range because you cant trust no one than the only way you can get satisfaction is by doing your own testing.
Truely with probably around 200 tuners sold by now, if they were inconsistant there would have been return or comments around that. So far everyone Ive heard who bought one have positive stuff to say, and only thoses who havent tried one are arguing on their effectivness.

So there has been folks commenting on whether that was worthwhile information regarding the tuna can on this thread.

I will offer a real world test. I just received my tuna can and have zero experience with it. I also could care less about the couple hundred I spent on it, so….

Tell me how you would like me to test it. I can use match grade ammo, have an infrared thermometer to test barrel temps, etc. outline what would convince you either way and I will do my best to accommodate. Temps are supposed to be above 0 next week or so. I have anschutz, Tikka, rems and 10/22’s. To test with tell me how you want it done.

I look forward to the challenge.

Sooo, no one gave you feedback ? I'm curious but I don't want to drop $200+ to get another 1/4" accuracy. And I'd need to thread one of my rifles, too. Maybe next Spring when I go for 100+ yds. and I find a $50 'mackerel can' ;-) And there's no nearby competitions to 'excite' me.
The way these 'can' threads have gone 'someone' wants a box of each brand at each setting, for each rifle ?? You'll need a lot of good weather for that ^O^

Another 1/4” smaller at 100 would be worth it to me if I already had the $$$ to lot test ammo and buy a case of Center-X or Eley Match. I’m already getting 2 out of 3 10 shot groups at 100 under an inch so there is not a lot of urgency for my CRPS/ORPS needs considering the cost to tighten things up.
 
Looks like I will be trying one of these this year.
Like the guys mentioned above, what better way to find out if it works than to try it myself.
 
Haha, nobody can say there isn’t data, pictures and tests done, here on CGN, regarding tuners. You had your chance.

Well $200 isn’t much to drop on something to try considering many rigs guys are shooting are well north of $4-5k. Some guys also buy $3 coffees daily, that’s expensive.

I will need lots of warm weather that’s for sure. I am hoping to be able to shoot in a buddies barn to reduce wind, kinda hoping waiting for that as well.

My hopes is I can get a little more accuracy out of average SV ammo instead of running match grade all the time. I might be delusional but that’s okay, too. Back in the day my BOSS on a 300 win worked, or so I thought. Maybe it will shine beyond 100m. Dunno.

My 'Expensive' 22 only cost $400 + 400 on glass, so I've got lots of 'room' to go. My B22-FV with a 6-24x50 SF-FFP gets 3/4-1/2" or better @ 50 using SK+. OK for under $1K - so far. The SK+ is the most expensive ammo I shoot so my expectations aren't that high anyway.
I saw a thread recently with a Tikka and Athalon combo and a target that looks just like what I shoot @ 50, so I feel OK for half the cost.
