Curtis Rimfire Conversion 1st Look

[@wildnorthadventures]

Man I miss your videos. Hope to see you back at some point.

[@jasontwolford]

Always enjoy your videos. Hopefully you are going to be making some more. Thank you for keeping it real for those of us average shooters.

[@andyprairiedog]

Very nice rifle. Great to see you and your son enjoying the shooting of a fine rifle.

[@midwest_long_range]

Thank you!

[@thewiseman6866]

Love the father/son time Awesome rig, great video

[@midwest_long_range]

Thank you!

[@johnhockgeiger7878]

Love the father son vegetable cleanup. Rifle looks promising. Great i fo and good shooting.

[@midwest_long_range]

Thanks! I appreciate it

[@jesseburns9734]

Good you see a father and son shooting together! I am thinking of upgrading from my base class Rimfire. I like the look of the Curtis but am not seeing any long term info. Are you still happy with the feeding of the rimfire? Thanks in advance. May God Bless you and your Family

[@lorenzolozano7115]

When is the follow up video coming out im curious to see your experience with this set up currently building one myself

[@jeffreypelletier7247]

Love the video I’ve had my eye on those actions for a while now awesome to start to see some content on them can’t wait to see what comes of it in the future.. great job man keep ‘em coming thank you!!!

[@p47rr]

Gorgeous looking rifle. Love the color scheme on the stock.

[@jessestarkey4024]

Awesome looking setup and was curious about the details on it after seeing it on social media. Hope things start getting better for you and as always great video.

[@bfox87]

Love the channel. Are any new videos coming?

[@JoelLeBabe]

Finally! I've been waiting for someone to post a review on one of these 🤘

[@midwest_long_range]

More to come on this one

[@charliesiempelkamp511]

That's a very impressive build. I'm looking forward to future videos when you get the lot testing ironed out, and get that carbon ring cleaned up. I think you had the right guy build it. Maybe I can catch you shooting it in NRL at Gadsden sometime.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

How the bolt headspaces at .048", I set up the chamber with less jam from expirence building these. It actually holds a really tight 300 yard groups. I did the same with Womfats build. 50 yard groups are just a small look what this rifle can do.

[@cz503]

Did you record your part of this project? Will be interested to see it .

[@jonathanseal5155]

What is the “Nevius” chamber?

[@samw2768]

​@jonathanseal5155 is a 1.5 degree leade most br shooters use a 2 degree leade

[@EagleEyeShooting]

The chamber is based off the Nevius reamer lead angle but has tight case dimensions and more of a straight wall like a Carefree II. Shallower lead angles tend to be an all around performance but theoretically perform better for the EPS bullet. Sharper lead angles sometimes causes sharper pressure spikes which can lead to cold bore shift. This all depends on barrel configuration, grooves, groove design ect. My expirence gained building and testing so many 22lrs obviously narrows down consistent performance. Ive designed 4 22lr reamers myself which I use for my clients builds and personally own 9 different 22lr reamers. The quest for 22lr accuracy is seems futile sometimes when ultimately the ammo is the other biggest factor

[@jonathanseal5155]

Thank you for the reply,Kenny. Always great to get a full explanation from a knowledgable source👍👍‼️‼️ much appreciated.

[@KSIXRIDER]

Health and wellness check. I hope all is well. Need a new video.

[@TheWheels1965]

Hi, could you shoot a benchrest card and score it would nice see what score you can get out of it. cheers mate

[@joed3264]

I have gone a different route with one of my builds. I am having my Bergara B14R rebarreled with a 24" Shilen Ratchet. B14Rs are funny creatures. Some shoot great. Mine did not. Barrel was full of pits. Going with an Eley EPS reamer for the chamber. I have had zero feed or ejection issues with my B14. I run a Shilen Competition trigger set at 8oz. Best $160 I have ever spent.

[@CRBW]

Nice ,nice rig Chris.

[@jeremysalter152]

Nice rifle, sk fliers are pretty common from what I've seen out and about.

[@djalluget6870]

Great video thanks we’ll let you know how it goes for us.

[@MikeGuadango]

How is the rifle treating you after some use? Have you put a center fire barrel on it as well?

[@l3idesign]

Great Video! And awesome choice in magazines 😉

[@midwest_long_range]

Gotta keep’em front and center!

[@charlesirby9222]

Have been waiting to follow a barrel like this ... to follow the ammo testing selection & what we see about the characteristics of the ammo, like low ES & SD's and such. I think it'll have a wider than usual tolerance for high SD's. I hope anyway? "Them dang fliers!"

[@midwest_long_range]

More is on the way stay tuned

[@lutherprice2062]

That rifle is absolutely too perty to shoot😂 I think you’ll be very happy with that barrel and chamber, Kenny put a 25.4” MullerWorks on my RimX and it’s to be getting better by the shot. Can’t wait to see the follow up videos on it.

[@EnchotadorDracul]

Hello buddy.I have a question. That barrel aftermarket surpasses a tikka 308. I would like to surpass the pressure in mine. and where I buy it.

[@richardmattix5322]

Nice looking rifle

[@midwest_long_range]

Thank you

[@billystephens9255]

Bud I watched your videos and enjoyed them my question is I have a vudu how much better is a 22lr suppose to shoot you can only get so much accuracy out of 22lr.

[@midwest_long_range]

You have a good point. I don’t think it’s anymore accurate but the versatility of Rimfire to centerfire conversion is what’s in question with this rifle and if it can hold its own against stand alone rimfire and centerfire setups.

[@Buzz7744]

How are you liking the Apex scope. Looking at ordering one

[@midwest_long_range]

It’s a solid optic, reticle is very usable

[@jwoodshed1108]

What is that recoil lug? Is it clamped to the barrel for swapping?

[@midwest_long_range]

Yes it is

[@mrjeffjob]

I have the MPA/ Curtis Axiom with the WTO switch lug setup barreled for .223 Wylde. I haven’t got it to the range yet but I’m amazed at how easy it is to take apart. My buddies’ heads exploded when I showed it to them. I’m thinking this action/ lug setup could be the heart of a modular setup. I just wish the centerfire bolts were with interchangeable bolt heads. At $450 per copy it’s a bit spendy. Now you show me this RF conversion at $700 for the bolt and mag plus a barrel. I would have spent less money on a gambling addiction but shooting is more fun. 😎

[@Lowballinoutdoorz]

Sweeet build!!!!!!!!!

[@wyliefox5518]

In your opinion Curtis or vudoo?

[@charlesludwig9173]

Just wondering why not go with Anschultz?

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Because they are not good as these custom rifles. Picker on ammo and Anchutz customer support is trash. They fail to realize balance of a rifle is key for performance and their mags aren't as reliable as a CZ457. Thier literally is little to no difference over a CZ457. I can continue my list if you are willing to listen

[@nelsonm5032]

it’s been a few months, missing your videos! hope everything is ok?

[@midwest_long_range]

Thank you for your thoughts. Everything is good just a lot going on in the personal life so had to take a break. Planning some new stuff soon and looking at trying some new stuff with the channel.

[@nelsonm5032]

Glad to hear everything is good and looking forward to new videos! cheers brother... and happy new year.@@midwest_long_range

[@long-range-eliminator]

So what 5 grand ?

[@1962jamesgeorge]

Excellent video, thaks for sharing. I'm a little behind so I didn't see your SM posts because I deleted my fb account. Very quickly is this system converting a centerfire to rimfire? Or am I way off? Either way it looks like that rifle will be a real hammer. Nice shooting. BTW Kenny does awesome work!

[@midwest_long_range]

Yes it goes from centerfire to Rimfire by swapping bolt and barrel. I’ll have more videos coming up that will show the swap out

[@Bipecrazy69]

Daamn that's that's SEXY.. super sharp. Thanks for sharing

[@anotheryoutuber_]

shes a beaut.

[@89hsayers]

🖤💛

[@justinmcbee8881]

I dig it bud!! Great looking rifle and build. Get some ammo lot tested through her and she will be a different animal. RWS R50 is where I'd go!!

[@midwest_long_range]

It hasn’t liked the r50 I put through it so far

[@justinmcbee8881]

Thats interesting!! @@midwest_long_range

IF LOOKS COUNT ... """ K I L L E R R I F L E """ .... !!!!!!! LOVE TO SEE HOW IT WORKS OUT ? ? ? HAVE TO SEE HOW IT WORKS WHEN " JOSH " SHOES UP ...!!!!! .. .. .. .. DOUBLE G.... """GARY """

[@John-Nel]

So this channel is dead.

[@davegrimshaw7318]

22LR's never consistent 🙄

[@charlesludwig9173]

You have not shot a Remington 40XR.

[@lindafields8995]

Where do you find a "Timiney" trigger? I use the "Timney" triggers in my centerfire rifles.

[@mrjeffjob]

No extra points for enunciation. I’ll bet you freak out when guys say Lee u pold instead of Loo pold huh?
