A&J Sporting sells them. aandjsporting.com/the-extractor/

One of the rimfire greats himself. Thanks for the watch and compliment Joe. Love your channel.

Thank you sir 👊

I'm pumped too. Our matches start in a couple weeks. Thanks for watching!

I picked my action up from Bullet Central but I'm not sure they carry them anymore.

Missed opportunity not recording the actual build for sure. I might be able to work something out though 🤔

Making me regret sending the Bergara down the road 🥲Glad I'm not alone in the camp of thinking you gain more as a shooter starting out with something other than a purpose built PRS rig.

I’m super happy with it so far. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

To be fair, I sold mine as just the barreled action. Those HMR stocks with the bottom metal go for like $330 on ebay.

Thanks for the feedback and thoughts. I touched on the extractor issue in the other videos of the series but it probably deserved more in-depth conversation here too. After talking with other folks who shoot a RimX, it seems like rebuilding the bolt yearly is good preventative practice. I have a complete spare parts kit in my pack just in case something happens at a match. I definitely should have done a better job explaining my thought about not wanting to send my Bergara off to be rebarreled. I only have one rifle, so sending the action off would've meant being down for a couple weeks and that was something I was really trying to avoid. Building the rimx while still shooting the Bergara allowed me to skip that gap. You're right though, shipping the action isn't hard. It just was something I was hoping to avoid having to do. I spent the better part of 2024 lot testing the Bergara off-camera between matches with everything from Eley to Sk to Lapua. When talking about the groups it would print, the gun was being fed the best performing ammo I could find for it at the time. That being said, I think I've become a better shooter since then. How would it do now if I tested it again? Maybe better? Possibly, possibly not. I may have come off a little hard on the B14R. I really did enjoy the platform at the end of the day, and will likely own another one in the future. All that being said, I want to really express my gratitude for you taking the time to watch the video and give me feedback. This is all still "new" to me, so I'm trying to post these videos as coming from a place of what I've learned and not that of an "expert". I hope they comes across as intended. Happy shooting!

Brother - just to be sure j was not coming from a place of bashing you. Guys like you helped guys like me 10,000 rounds ago gain the confidence to keep shooting, learning, and now - helping others. I debated sharing my observations because I didn’t want to over shadow the work you have put in to improving the community. And we all benefit by the community getting better. Thanks for sharing your experience.

@@johnm4699 I promise I didn't take it as bashing. You put a lot of thought and effort into your comment so I wanted to match in my reply. Please don't ever stop sharing your observations, no matter positive or negative. Good conversation and dialog allows us all to learn from each other and become better.

I watched a couple benchrest videos to see if I could learn something that might be applicable to what we shoot and I was amazed at some of the differences. I think that’s what’s so great about rimfire. There truly is something for everyone.

Thank you sir 🫡

Thank you sir 👊🏻

Thanks for the kind words brother 🙏🏻 It’s been a fun ride so far. Excited to see what 2025 has in store 👊🏻👊🏻

Thank you sir 🙏🏻

@@ironaddiction4life that’s not something I’ve heard of before. I’ll definitely give it a try. Thanks for the tip 🙏🏻

We are trying to shoot a tiny dot so the variance is much more obvious but maybe one day run half the mag super fast like you did and then the other half the mag say every 10 seconds and you should see a variance to an extent

Thank you brother 👊🏻👊🏻

No push-feeds to date with a little over ~1300 rounds sent downrange. Spent some time meticulously adjusting the mags to the chassis when I first got the action, and haven't had a single issue... knock on wood. What chassis are you running? It seems like most of the guys I've seen with pushfeed issues are using a MPA chassis, but I have no idea if there is a correlation or not. As far as the rifle goes, 10/10 happy with mine.

@@Shoot_More MDT ACC Elite. I misplaced my magwell dowels and have some new ones being sent to me. I'm hoping that will resolve any magazine movement. Love the chassis though. You seem to be hamming with your rifle, so great job!

@@lilsnoop6035 Hmm, interesting. Is it happening when you're shooting on a bench or off a bag/props? Appreciate the kind words, it's been a pretty big step up over the bergara I was shooting before. Pretty pumped for the 2025 season!

@@Shoot_More It was happening more off props for me. My son had it happen to him off the bench, but I believe that was due to him short stroking it. After that I decided to have Kenny at Desert Precision do the bolt mod to eliminate it happening in competition. Haven't had chance to really test it since getting it back due to weather. I'm thinking the magazine dowels would have probably prevented some if not all of the push feed issues. Looking forward to more videos.. Keep up the good work!

I shot Eley match in this video. I’ve gotten better ES/SD’s out of Eley vs Lapua.

Thank you 🙏🏻

@@gmg3precision thanks brother 👊🏻👊🏻

Appreciate the support! I checked out your channel & dropped you a sub. Where can I find your podcast?

@@damingrail3655 Appreciate your support my friend. Saw your FB post about gravestone. Let me know if you end up planning a trip down and maybe we can be there for the same match. It’s only ~6hrs from me.

@@Dmounts Here to please 🫡 Thanks for all the support brother 🙏🏻

@@EagleEyeShooting This is still a whole new world to me so each day is a learning experience, but glad to hear I’m on the right track. I picked up a couple bricks of lapua long range that I’m going to test here in a little bit now that the barrel is seasoned in. If I’m happy with how the long range acts, I’d love to just be able to buy a case and roll and not have to play the Eley lot test game. I haven’t shot a lot of center x, so I don’t have experience there. What issues have you seen with Eley?

Appreciate that. Anecdotal, but I've got probably ~1000rds on the barrel now and it definitely seems like it settled in some which blows my mind because it has grouped really well from the first time I pulled the trigger. I'll probably end up doing another round of lot testing with eley & lapua before next season really gets kicked off. As far as mach trimming, I need to do more reading on that. I've heard of it but don't know enough about it.

@ Bryan Litz has been studying Mach trimming with doplar radar. Essentially showing group size can actually print a smaller MOA size at distance

@@scottcottontx thank you sir! You’ve convinced me to throw some SABR on my next order. I’ll keep ya posted how it turns out.

@@Shoot_More It's very lot dependent. I found one lot that is great and two lots that are below average. But even the bad lots have good SDs.

Thank you sir! As long as you have the fundamentals down, the growth curve when you step up to the next “level” of rifle is crazy. I would change starting with a factory rifle though. Those platforms really make you focus on learning good fundamentals. You can “cheat” a lot more with the gamer guns.

Appreciate that! I actually reached out to NRL to see if I could sign up after the fact and still have the score count 😂 There is only one NRL match here in Arkansas currently, but there are talks about a second starting a little closer to the house. I think it’ll be fun to shoot both. The COFs seem great for learning movement while managing target orders.

I've only been a member for a month or two. Really enjoyed the matches & props being out all the time, so decided to join to support. Plus, it's closer to the house than Benton. Love it.

I've heard that SABR stuff shoots well. Guess I need to stop putting off ordering some & give it a try. I share the same sentiments on seeing fantastic results at 100 to only have things fall apart at 200yds and beyond. After editing this & being able to watch the footage several times over, I am definitely changing up how I test going forward. At minimum, I'll be going to multiple 10rd groups at 200 instead of one big 20rd. The idea of testing on different days isn't something I thought of...

@@Shoot_More I'm getting 2-2.5" groups at 200 with this lot of SABR with a SD of 5 and pretty consistent velocity from 40 degrees to 80 degrees. And the round nose tends to load a little better when you are hustling. In case you can't tell, I'm trying to talk myself into this ammo. I've fallen in love with "cheap" ammo before and been burned. I'll give it one more test tomorrow, I need to buy something for this weekend. Good luck at the finale. I think I shot in the squad before you at the White Oak regional, you got me by 10 points (which is why I'm looking for magic ammo, it has to be the ammo's fault, right?)

@@scottcottontxAfter some really poor experiences with SK Long Range earlier this year, I understand your hesitancy. Hard to hit a target when you're essentially shooting a shotgun at 200yds... lol. As for the SABR, I think a 2" group at 200 will absolutely compete. That's better than what my bergara shot with tested Eley Match. Did you lot test the SABR, or just order what you could find? Small world though. I'm planning to make some trips back to White Oak for some regular matches this season. Hope to see you there!

@@Shoot_More I just bought a couple of lots of SABR that were close to the stated velocity of my good Eley Match and I got lucky with one of the lots. The other lot is throwing 5.6" groups. I've shot some very impressive groups with last year's Eley Match, but I only have a couple of boxes left of it. I have a few boxes of SK Long Range that shoot pretty good, but I had to change to an ammo that I can actually purchase when I need it. I've been happy with the Eley Match once I got an adjustable mag latch to make it feed better, but I could live without the wax buildup. The SABR may check all of the boxes for me, but I need to be sure before I commit to a big purchase. Need to check it at 300+ before I buy multiple bricks. Not sure if I'll make it to White Oak this year, their schedule is not ideal for me. If you get the chance to go to Gravestone, it's worth the drive.

Couple buddies and I were actually talking the other day about giving your challenges a shot. Appreciate the watch and suggestion!

Love it!

Appreciate the watch brother 👊🏻

Maryland Munitions. I would recommend reaching out to them before placing an order to verify how much they have of each lot to make sure it’s worth your time.

I'll try and make a video showing how I have them adjusted because it's hard to explain, but you don't want any vertical movement in the mag, period. On the flip side, you don't want the catch adjusted so tight that you have to slam the mag into the action, but it should be a good snug fit with no upward travel after the mag is locked in. There is definitely a fine line between too tight and perfect. It took a little playing around to find the sweet spot, but I have had zero issues to date and I'm sitting around 800 rounds at this point. Appreciate the sub! You'll love it.

I think the bergara will be on it's way to a new home here shortly, but if I ever re-visit the platform KI's prefits are definitely on the radar.

Thank you!

Preliminary weight was around 23lbs but I want to reweigh it. I'll keep you posted.

@@greathornedforge1133 Yea, I talked about this at the end of my newest video. That was my biggest take away from watching all this footage back from several matches. Appreciate the callout for sure. I need to do better.

Thanks dude 🤘🏻
