Ep. 187 | NRL22/22X - Your New Shooting Hobby?

[@juanwhite9729]

Shot my first match last weekend. I found out the night before, had no DOPE, zero had to move from 100 to 50 the morning of, etc. I got it close enough to not place last. Lots of fun, really nice people willing to help. Can’t speak highly enough of the program.

[@VortexNation]

The people are what makes it great!

[@jamesfarmer63]

I love it that Vortex sponcer you're show I watch you every night, and am learning a lot about a lot of different aspects of shooting, the NRL & the NRL/22XL,,so I'm going to get me another 22Lr bolt action,,& but I'm moving from GA to South Dakota and now I'll be able to use my Savage 110 338Lapua magnum in a MDT,LSS XL chassie and I've got a silencer on it to and can shoot Long distances with it too!!, the only thing we'll a couple of things,one I'm still learning to convert moa to Mills, and that's what they taught me in the army back in the early 80's they hadn't converted over to tracking Mills ,but I'm learning how to convert it in my head, but I'm worried about buying a scope for my 338Lapua magnum I still like moa,but the reason I'm having a problem here is my 338LM I'll use it for matches yes but I'll be also using it for long range hunting as well , I'm guessing I'll have to invest in two different scopes right??

[@jtmcfarland3512]

They want it more difficult?! I just want a match available within driving distance every month. There’s probably 90% of the US where matches aren’t even available within an hour.

[@recklessjunkie]

Right tell me about it

[@stockbanger]

Right! It a dessert in Oregon.

[@John-uo1qf]

NRL22 is very addictive. Easy to get into and will soon require a second mortgage on your house. 😂. I started with a Tikka last spring and am now putting together a Vudoo. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TheEDCTribe]

I’ve gotten into NRL22 recently, a ton of fun for not a ton of money compared to centerfire. I’m hoping to find some NRL22X matches close by soon

[@VortexNation]

Keep an eye on practiscore.com/ as they will list local and natonal matches

Hey!, I love the Siamese cat she's cool,I love her!!

[@brenn330]

Incredible amount of fun. Nrl22 is the bomb

[@VortexNation]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Desertpunk1986]

Did a PRS22 match from benchrest and loved it. I can’t wait to try a NRL22.

[@richardkut3976]

Thanks, excellent topic & sport.

[@GaryStowe-k7g]

.22 X matches, I noticed depending on the courses / stages of fire different rifles are used. Such as 10/22's different rifles are used to type format of the stage. Awesome... for steel challenge type stages.

[@omarhaltam]

Great podcast and great content… thanks

[@lorenkrug]

I’m hearing people enjoying .22LR competition more than high power competition

[@nolancaudill1712]

I love shooting NRL22 matches!

[@VortexNation]

Tons of fun!

[@chrispearson9870]

Great info, thank you for the video.

[@jedharris478]

Hopefully going to shoot my first match next month. Taking my FX Dreamline to just try the whole thing out.

[@jackporter2334]

Look at the Arkin scopes. I have vortex and Arkin, money to money it’s Arkin hands down. Guaranteed tracking!

[@Krysis219]

Arken* dollar for dollar is the Bushnell ftw

[@mikep3129]

I'm very interested in getting into NRL22 and have the rifle to compete. However, I myself on in a wheelchair and curious where that might fall within the ability to compete if at all.

[@VortexNation]

Hey Mike - it more than likely wouldn't prohibit you, but some stages may be tough or need to be altered. We would recommend reaching out to the local match director to see what there thoughts are on a specific match or course. You can find local matches here: practiscore.com/

[@tylerfrehner675]

No problem sir! We have an adaptive class exactly for this. Check out our rules NRL22.org Come join in the fun.

[@darrenfraser6720]

I'm building a Lithgow LA101 for Bench/ NRL22 here in Australia, I was tossing up between the Strike Eagle 5x25x56 FFP and the Viper PST Gen 2 5x25x50 FFP, I'm going with the Strike Eagle for a few reasons - Price, Parallax & Locking Turrets

[@randallsmith4349]

We need to do this in Wisconsin !!!!!! Come-on vortex I know you can pull it off !!

[@GUNMETALGUYUSA]

Having survived more than the nineties, this podcast was X tra good 👍😏

[@bisleyblackhawk1288]

My new shooters…not really scared of other calibers…but maybe a little “uncomfortable” shooting the heavier calibers past .22LR…need to “work up” to a higher level a little at a time…this has been my training experience with my younger/new shooters…it’s been a very positive experience for them and me especially going from .22LR to the 5.56 if they understand the difference between the recoil and noise…it’s what you expect in the transition between the two and your reaction between the two calibers…you might be surprised with the transmission if you do your part making the difference easier to adapt to…I do love me some cat butt/tail 🥰🥰🥰 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛!!!

[@markthibault8579]

The new Vortex Venom would also be a good choice if you want to save some money over the Strike Eagle.

[@VortexNation]

Definitely! A few differences, but both great options!

[@johnnywadd9918]

Mark at 4aw in australia got a .22 magnum custom build heavy barrel 1 in 9 twist out to 1000. I really like his videos ...Mark and Sam after work check them out they do a lot of elr

[@philsmeal468]

I just can’t understand them😞

[@johnhansen1684]

They do awsome stuff. They also tested sub vs super and super did better than subs

[@RosalindStewart-i6g]

One of the best channels on KZbin, they do some amazing stuff cheers Yogi ✌ 👍

[@ericdincauze3984]

Speaking of yard work ... my Suppressed CZ-457 bond over it regularly.

[@justme294]

Yes... I bought a fair amount 22 magnum just cause it was available. Now I need to buy a rifle for it. 😁

[@TheCelestialWolf]

How many people do NLR22/22x with single shot rifles? I think it would be cool to make a precision 1895 low wall. Wouldn't Single shot rifles be slightly more accurate than a bolt action since you can gently place the cartridge into the chamber where with a bolt action, the action can scrape the bullet? (Or does that not even matter?)

[@Plus_P_Plus]

Comment about the “X” and living in the 90’s was pretty damn funny.

[@spacemarin04]

Some day I'll try a mil scope. I've been running MOA and keep a conversion chart with me.. Also Google can convert it for you.

Guess I’m gonna by a Strike Eagle. Who knew eagles went down the rabbit hole?

@49min Don’t say too much about the strike eagle vs the razor 😂

[@jdpatrick7359]

What is age cut off for Young Gun and Old Gun

[@stevereese6488]

Is there a division for people with physical limitations or disabilities to compete in either base class or open class?

[@gertkriel6080]

Maybe you should join the metric system?? 😂

[@paulholznagel6101]

Hey guys. Which are the other countries that have NRL22 competition.

[@VortexNation]

There are a number of countries that participate! Check out matches in your area here: practiscore.com/

[@paulholznagel6101]

@@VortexNation thank you very much. A bit too far away from me at the moment. Hopefully there’ll be other clubs adopt it as well that are closer. The one place that is doing it now is 1000+ klm away. 🙈

[@gamelord1000]

@@paulholznagel6101 If you don't have one there, just create it. You can download the COF every month from the NRL22.org website, get yourself the targets (buy or make them), grab some friends and host your own matches. You don't need any special organization to put your own matches together.

[@mississippiponderosa8530]

Give us a Dollar amount on that Rifle He held up.

[@amorton94]

The action alone, just the action, no barrel, stock or anything, is $1150.

[@mississippiponderosa8530]

that is insane

[@amorton94]

@@mississippiponderosa8530 Right? I can only assume, but I imagine the barrel is at least another $800, the scope is easily over $1,000, and the stock idk. It looked like a Bergara stock to me at first glance, so it might be a take off from another rifle of his and cost him nothing. Or it could be something else entirely and another $1,000. I can't imagine dropping all that money in a 22lr.
