Good stuff! did you have to do any shimming?

bag gives closer groupings, same experience i had in my pcp air rifle.

Hi Josh. Long time subscriber here. I enjoy your ammo tests and the Pete's Pillars barrel review. I have to say, I was rather surprised with this review of the SH-4J. I KNOW you love your Tract optics, but as a retired EE, I enjoy playing with the 'budget' offerings. I have NO problem with high-end glass, but the recent purchase of a Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25X56 scope (a $799 model) left me VERY disappointed. Nothing really wrong, I just had higher expectations for it. I didn't bother to return it. I've been shooting scoped rifles for over 60 years and have accumulated over 60 scopes. Lots of Vortex, a Sightron Slll and a HIGH end Leupold on my boss's Barrett 50 BMG. Anyway, I have an SH-4J and I like it. I have 4 EP-5s and multiple Discovery 5-25X56 PRS Gen lls and even a Discovery 5-40X56 PRS (35 mm tube) I ordered directly from the Discovery factory, since I couldn't find a USA seller. It came in a week! Truely huge! As an official 'old fart', I find the recent evolution of optics amazing, just a quick example.... Back when I got out of the Navy, I bought a Rem M700 Varmint Special (243 W) to hunt groundhogs. I bought a Tasco 20X40mm (1" tube) back when they were made in Japan. I occasionally take it out and compare it with some other glass. The clarity and contrast are just amazing. Gotta love the Japanese glass. Discovery now has scope rings that are honed and appear to be of excellent quality. Both 7075 and 6061 al. Although all my Arkens ride in Arken rings, I would have no issue using the new Discovery offerings. I have 3 sets in hand for future projects. Trying to save a few $ to get the new Arken 7-35X56 EP-5 Gen ll. More than a few youtubers (FWIW) have stated they like the Discovery PRS model better than the first EP-5. Too close for me to judge, I no longer compete. Just can't wait for the Gen llls to show up! Be safe. ron

Can you please give us the dope for your entire range.

German rifle German ammo. 👍👍

What camer do you use for the scope perspective?

Which trigger do you suggest? I found only Timmy trigger In italy

I want you to know that you just cost me $1,900 bucks But I’m not mad about it. It’s clear and seems to be top notch. I’m talking about my new Tract 4.5-30-56. I got there mount and stuff too. And put it on my cz 457

It would be nice if you started out by telling us what distance and magnification you are shooting at. Hard to put anything in context without knowing that.

Looks too easy do it at 350

Wow great video, what stock do you have on it ? Love it, need one like it on mine.

Had also no luck with IBI barrels. Tried one for my CZ457 and tikka t1x. Sold both

What scope rings are you running

Thanks for the video. Is the mtr same as the at-one model?

Finally, an honest review I can trust

Can you recommend an accurate barrel for the same rifle for hunting? I believe that barrel would hurt my shoulder if I carried it for longer than 10 mins.

I always trust your reviews, Josh. If I may suggest, perhaps a fresh comparison of a few $450 ish, /24-25X ish/ PRS worthy scopes would make a good topic going forward ( i.e. Vortex Venom, Athlon Argos/Midas, Arken SH/EP , etc).

Very interesting. You may be really impressed with the Lithgow LA101. I've seen it outshoot the competition on multiple occasions....

Sales pitch for JP, thanks.

👍👍

A few months back, I went to the rifle builder on JP's site and added the features and components I wanted for this new 22LR AR. When I was done, the price came to $4,400.00 The price didn't surprise me in the least; I expected it from JP.

Great content 👏 thank you 🙏!

It didn't seem to have issues feeding with the factory magazine...maybe it was not intended to used a different manufacturer's magazines.

Great video! I've found one of these for sale with a 16" barrel and GPO Evolve scope. Should I hold out for the 20"?

More please

Should give borebuddies match upper a go

This rifle started my addiction to the 457. I wish they still made the orange color way.. I wish you still had this one.

Excellent and honest review as usual, Josh. I tried a EP5 for a bit. I ran it side by side with a ( also $500) Vortex Venom 5-25 at the range one day. Everybody on the line agreed that the Venom had the better glass. Too bad on the glass because as you mention, the mechanics and controls were really nice. I sold off the EP5 shortly after. I see now they have a Gen II with reportedly upgraded Japanese glass. I wonder how that one will stand up .

I’ve had the RPR and it feels like a $450-$495 .22. Nothing wrong with that. I just bought the AT-One and will certainly expect more in terms of quality, fit and finish. By the time you put a Timney trigger in the RPR ($275) you’re already at the 457 price point. Add the rigid AT-One stock and the decision gets tougher.

Torque stock screws. It should tighten up groups. There is an optimum inch torque for your 10.22. I got a nickel at 50. 5 shots. Stock parts and a buffer polymer pin.

Trigger job your 10.22. I've done 5. Replace springs. Polish. Buy another receiver. And make a 10.22 so you got 2. And not a bunch of parts laying around.

Hello sir I was wondering if you remove your cheek riser every time to to run your cleaning rod through the barrel? With it screwed in place it seems hard to clean.

I can never remember what the hell DMR stands for? Dedicated mechanical rifle??? (Completely guessing lol)

I’ve seen some impressive results from JP from the kids I coach in SASP - it’s definitely a game changer I’ve been reluctant to spend that much but you are making me want to flash that plastic (if my stupid state will allow it)

Fantastic tip! Thanks Josh. I have problems removing the Anarchy Outdoors +3 extension because the follower spring is extended all the way into the extension. Is there a trick to getting it off? Thanks again

Hope to see you at the DPRC 2 Gun again.

What head space did you set the barrel at?

That Norma is one the best budget 22 it seems. For bottom end 22 pricing you get mid level performance.

Wonder how a Tippman m4 elite compares to this rifle. Nice to see the DMR footage. One of my local NRL matches had a DMR style bonus stage last month as several people had expressed interest in that format.

when you pay JP money, it had best be ultra reliable.

Awesome stuff... I purchased a Rock River Arms CMP Trainer 22lr... simulates a "high power rifle competition " setup.. 20" barrel, 1" under the handguard, and standard .75 to the muzzle. So far, it is a moa shooter... $1400.00 for a training tool is not too bad... I dig the JP rifle for sure, I was just looking for a specific trainer.. Thanks Josh, still killing it brother 🙌 🫡

Definitely need an update video after you've changed the setup and after its been run through 2 gun.

Love your content! 💯💪

I'd definitely like to see more of this rig

Mine is the wood stock with sporter weight barrel in 22lr. It is stupid accurate with eley force, and slightly less so, with eley HV hunting. Love it, took a while to find it

#OUTSTANDING VIDEO AS USUAL THNX

Can you suggest or recommend a company to make a custom barrel for this rifle. Thanks
