Benchrest vs PRS 22LR Rifle | How much more accurate is a true benchrest build?

[@sjohnson1776]

I absolutely repsect the fact that you show it 'how it is' and not cherry picked. Good on you for that! That is why I would have 100% confidence in one of your builds. Thanks!!

[@briansupermag3918]

Wowzers Kenny. Nail driver for sure. That is crazy accurate. Great work

[@johnwhitty9069]

The only voodoo without a feeding problem. Hahahahahaha

[@EagleEyeShooting]

😄 yes👍

[@mikedody7578]

Come on Kenny you’re selling yourself short, the Vudoo you built for me has not had one issue!! And since you have had it, it’s gone from the JP APAC to a Foundation and now rests in a Gen 4 JAE. No matter what I throw at the action you put together the thing just SHOOTS!!

[@nt_wicked_bunch2717]

@@mikedody7578lol that’s because It’s a voodoo built by Kenny. Not a direct from voodoo. Those things take a ton of work to feed right.

[@johnwhitty9069]

Guys this all being said I was just kidding around. Kenny builds the best though. Anything leaving his shop I guarantee is already sorted out.

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Thanks Kenny. I admire your work and your videos. Blessings

[@michaeldunn150]

This was pretty cool video Kenny...... Thanks for sharing!!

[@LL-be3rh]

Awesome grouping and very nice setup !

[@nt_wicked_bunch2717]

Man I’ve been following this channel a long time and it’s cool to see your evolution man. Thanks for taking us along for the ride dude!

[@fairviewprecision]

Wow! As I am cleaning my 457 before a match this weekend… I have this video playing! Damn that’s impressive!

[@markl6769]

Nice build. Nice shooting, thank you for honesty.

[@poulo69]

That bench rig is tight. Great job. 💪🍀🇮🇪

[@pony_4759]

Well done Ken !! I am very impressed !!

[@willo7734]

Really interesting comparison! It seems like it’s a balancing act between really tight and accurate tolerances on the one hand and usability for all ammo and consistency on the other. It’s cool to see how it’s the application of the rifle that really defines what ‘accuracy’ really means.

[@utahpewpew]

Any of those groups are more than good enough for my competition rifles! Keep it up man

[@mckimmym]

Very cool build! Great Job. Makes me very eager to see how the 6 arc barrel I ordered performs.

[@chriscorey5624]

Another awesome build Kenny !!!

That’s some good work.It’s definitely a good shooting rifle. Thanks for the video.

[@rimfire724]

Another great video keep them coming

[@Rockrewls]

Great Video, nice workmanship.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

This is cool. Can’t wait to get my Vudoo back from you! It’s going to slay.

[@couespursuit7350]

Way to go, very logical discussion. PRS the toughest challenge is the 1/4 inch KYL at 50 yards which takes a rifle that can keep the bullets inside a .4 inch group measured center to center to hit the 1/4 inch bar, assuming your point of aim is true. Bench rest requires at 50 yards a rifle that groups consistently center to center of .215 inches to stay inside the 100 point scoring ring.

[@richardmattix5322]

looks good man

[@johnkizziah108]

I think a voodoo is next for me..have a 40x, a 40x repeater. A cooper that shoot one hole..but got to have a voodoo.

[@wannabemgtow2540]

Wow, I'm glad you straight up put out the cost of a setup like that. I am thinking of getting one of your builds in the future time, I'm not a competitive shooter but more of a pest control guy.

[@johnhermsen6456]

Just great go on sir

[@jeremymason1684]

Amazing content! I recently got my own lathe, do you have any more in depth videos on getting the barrel perfectly centered, chambering, muzzle threading etc !? Would love to learn from the best!

[@kodywoodward]

Another awesome rig! I still say I will one day have you build me a 22. Right now I'd like to get my Bergara in to you to see what you could do w it.

[@SharpShooterCO]

I'm at a loss for words.. Just freaking phenomenal 🫡

[@CHenry1951]

Pretty sweet rifle.....................

[@ianwoodward1554]

Another great vid, your skills are mental. Keep them coming bud.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

That Vudoo is SPOOOOOKY. But I still wouldn’t trade for my Rim X :)

[@briansupermag3918]

Cyclops your Rimner is amazing and is stupid accurate. Love your build Kenny did. I just have a 6 month wait for my Kenny special rimmer. But it sure will be worth it❤

[@michaelbonanno9491]

Would love to see more videos with you working on the rifles. Also, what receiver do you prefer and what barrel and scope mounts do you prefer for a .22 build.

[@kubikariYOU]

Great video, thanks.

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

Wow another awesome rifle build. That’s a damn tack driver. Your client should be able to shoot fly’s up theirs clackers all day long 😳.

[@Mrtjw]

Funny… I had wondered this. Good timing 😂😂

I just saw that fly when editing.... I had that opportunity and tunnel vision got me! 😄👍

[@johnroland6679]

I really appreciate the videos you put together. I have a tikka t1x with a kbr bravo chassis. I want to be able to shoot out beyond 300 yards. Do I have a barrel installed or do I need a controlled feed action to be able to shoot constant that far?

[@johngarrett6256]

Love to see the long barrel I shoot a lot of 100 yard and 200 it makes a difference .you bet

[@duanepullen7318]

What is the brand name of the adjustable tripod rest you are using , and where did you get it??

[@austinkroe]

Have you played with any of the other .22 bench rest actions? I know the centerfire bench rest guys obsess over every little detail including bolt lock up and firing pin consistency. Makes me interested to know if there are action designs that a superior when it comes to accuracy potential when set up by an excellent gunsmith such as yourself. Watching some of Eric Cortina’s conversations on “believe the target” with benchrest shooters has really left me wondering if there are areas us rimfire shooters should be looking at as well.

[@lazybear236]

I'm a br shooter and happy with my V22s, although guys with custom 2500x builds are the pros, not a weekend shooter like I am.

[@Fishing0683]

Man I sure would enjoy a conversation with u

[@randalljames1]

I grew up in that desert in the 60s... now it is wall to wall people...

[@MG_uk]

How do I get in contact to get something booked in for a new barrel and a new build please?

[@projectmayhem2330]

Why don’t the Vudoo actions come from factory with that smooth finish?

[@rhensley05]

I live in az also. Is the nrl22 community big?

[@lutherprice2062]

Great video Kenny, you and I are in the process of a RimX build and all my shooting is going to be benchrest using Lapua/SK ammo. Is this something we can keep in mind with my build? I’m too old to be shooting off barriers and prone. Still couple months from actual build, what are your thoughts. Thanks

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Hey Luther, give us a call to discuss. But in summary, these single shot actions do benefit better accuracy over magazine fed builds.

[@lutherprice2062]

I’ll give you a call, I can probably sell the extra RimX mags for the difference in cost😂

[@dragonflyfab9703]

Kenny! When you use abrasives around a lathe protect the ways with an oily rag or some newspaper. Grit is death to precision machinery!

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Absolutely. I wipe up the bed ways right after. Newspaper is a good idea

[@floydmiller3288]

So nice can do that with a rem 700

[@stevemachemer5763]

Now just finish it off with a Harrel's tuner.

[@fabianvaras1273]

Olso can you recomend a good mil scope ?

[@thelittledetailscr7231]

Arken Ep-5. I have 4 of them. Great scopes.

[@brianwhitmore4045]

I don't have the money to spend on high dollar rifles and barrels I own a decent CZ 457 varmint I'm fighting fliers my barrel is torqued to 18 inch pounds my stock is torqued to 35 inch pounds and my rifle also has bad cold bore shots any tips?

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Save for a barrel. Best solid advice I can give. You'll waste more time and money on ammo fighting

[@brianwhitmore4045]

@Eagle Eye Shooting ok well what barrel would you recommend and rough price

[@fabianvaras1273]

Hi there can you made me a drop in barrel for my ruger amercan chamber in 223 remintong .i can purchuse from you directly Fabian here

[@styger17]

Have you tried the carbon six carbon yet?

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Yes they suck lol

[@85ZERO17]

CAN YOU GIVE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE CHRISTENSEN 22LR.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Im not a fan. Have had a few hit my shop, unreliable and not as accurate. But that's just my expirence of 5 rifles

[@85ZERO17]

THATS GREAT FEEDBACK. I WAS ABLE TO PICK ONE UP ON SUNDAY NEW FOR NEXT TO NOTHING. HAVENT SHOT IT YET, LOOKING AT AMMO REVIEWS FOR THAT PLATFORM IN ORDER TO TEST. ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT IS A DEAL BREAKER FOR YOU OR THAT WOULD NEED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION IF YOU WERE TO OWN ONE.

[@linkchen8245]

What scopes do you use for bench test? Is it very different from normal scopes

[@EagleEyeShooting]

I primarily use my PRS scopes at 32x for paper. Its just what I got. Most benchrest shooters use fixed power scopes with simple duplex reticles in MOA adjustment.

[@fabianvaras1273]

I neeb a barrel that shoot with any ammo

[@GGNoble47]

Thousands. 1,000's

[@russr]

why time it to the down, not the up?

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Gravity is constant. As long as its timed linear, scope elevation can be adjusted. I ideally aim for high side at 6 to give more scope adjustment

[@russr]

@@EagleEyeShooting but wouldn't you want the high side at 12 so it's exiting going up to give you more elevation?

[@robertwatson818]

Is this at 25 yards??

[@EagleEyeShooting]

No.

[@ShooterB1]

Man! Shoot the single shot indoors and take environmentals out. I bet its in the .1s .0s all day long.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Exactly! Im sure ill get some groups from this client. More times then many, you guys are better shooters than I am

[@boehilts6056]

How are you able to tell which shots are out of the group cause by the ammo and which shots are out of the group caused by the environmental conditions? I see you're not using wind flags. If you're not shooting over wind flags you're just shooting weather reports. 22 rifles are very wind sensitive.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Unlike other channels, I don't use the wind as an excuse. In this sport very few folks are shooting in a science lab environment .... I do not need to setup cheap K-Mart lawn trinkets to clearly demonstrate the accuracy advantage of the benchrest rifle vs a prs rifle in minor 1mph winds.

[@morgandrayton9367]

There’s no tuner on that barrel when you were testing

[@EagleEyeShooting]

That rifle set two ara records... tuners are not needed
