Really enjoying your challenges. Got a CZ 455 with a flyweight CZ trigger in a MDT XRS chassis. Factory barrel unfortunately. Puts it in a bad spot for being in the open class without the benefit of the biggest upgrade. Managed an 80 at my best shooting prone yesterday, trying to get a Bartlein barrel fit for it. The barrel cost is reasonable but I am struggling to find any well known gunsmiths in western Canada to do the job - most of them have never done the inletting for the CZ extractors. Keep em coming big fella - only found your channel recently but loving it!

I am trying Andy I am trying. Thank you for being here with us.

As a kid I had a Marlin model 60 .22 that could shoot Lr Longs and shorts, I had a Tasco 3 x 7 x 21 mounted up top and I regularly took squirrels with headshots at 60 plus yards. It shot every manufacturers ammo very well and it wasn’t temperamental or finicky about it at all like these newer .22’s seem to be. Great video by the way brother and please keep ‘em coming 😊👍

[@ThecrazyScotsman]

Never get tired of these, Great job Brother!!!

[@Dayattherange]

Thank you man the weather man said it was the first day of the year where wind would be almost non existent. I told my wife I have to drop everything I at least have to give this a try.

Never get tired of hearing what you have to say, Eli. Always enjoy your videos and enthusiasm; your channel is my favorite on all of KZbin. 👍🏼 Keep them coming, Sir.

[@Dayattherange]

I really do appreciate you. I am really trying to get better at ALL OF THIS.

[@frankruff7114]

Glad to see you perform better with the 10/22!

[@Justoneperson-hu3nh]

YOU said it BROTHER!

[@cervus-venator]

Very cool. I didn't see this before scoring my sheets, but that's okay. I went back and looked at them and while I had some increase by a few points I also had one that decreased by one point since I took a five out and made it a four. When I put the videos together I'll add some still shots of the score sheet with the adjustments notated. Thanks again as always and I'm looking forward to shooting this one some more.

[@Dayattherange]

Alright there is my man CV. I can't wait to see your sheets and glad to have you back. I know you have been dealing with weather.

[@duanemoder4127]

Like the stars in the bullseyes. Been waiting for this target since I saw the family shootout.

[@CHenry1951]

Buckle down, big fella...........................you can do it !

[@Jeff-mv4yy]

I just checked you subscribers .. OVER 25K ! Way to go Elijah ! I'm very glad you showcased that Athlon 10-40. Mine is the same way, clear up to 32 X, darker and a little fuzzy at 40x, but still usable at 40X. Mine came in at about $335. I like the floating dot reticle , and the 1/8 moa per click on the turrets for benchrest. .. I do have a question about cleaning the chamber . It seems to me there might be a sweet spot for carbon build up in the chamber. If I clean mine ( just the chamber now) I notice it take about 10 shots to really get settled. Have you noticed the same?

[@kyfirearms]

Another great challenge. Looking forward to it.

Let's go KFW with the extended time I think I will be able to try it multiple times.

[@Dayattherange]

Bfox how is it that I go into this thinking I made it easier and then this happens LOL

[@Tikka65]

Maybe you should have used a more expensive ammo, like cci standard Vel. Who knows. In that rifles heyday, there was also S&W standand vel. Just wonder what the factory was using at the time, to try and make it a Win 52 beater. There wasn't a half dozen 22RF options at our gun stores in the 60/70's. I would think they (REM) (WIN) would have made their guns to try and shoot it's best, with what people could pull of the gun shop shelves. The Rem 40x has such a awe presence, as does the Win 52's. You are a very good person to own both. Very much appreciated.

[@Dayattherange]

I hear ya on that one. CCI is actually cheaper I may try some eley match next time.

[@ExF1Guy]

Sorry to see you only made it to Canadian! (Just teasing) Joking aside, I really do appreciate you bringing the firearms community together for something positive. Also, keep the intro!

@@Dayattherange I've changed it up, light pressure with right palm pushing toward the left, slight pressure with cheek pushing to the right. Sorta like a vice action. Still No shoulder contact though. 🤫

[@stevemachemer5763]

I have that scope on 3 of my rifles. I love the reticle.

[@Dayattherange]

A big outfitter had these 149 bucks off made it cheaper than used scopes.

[@donniepowell7146]

I think shooting from the top down and back up your score would improve. Nice rifle.

[@stevekiemele995]

Adjust the elevation with the rear foot screw. Use the big wheel for gross adjustment and the foot screws for final.

[@Dayattherange]

Thank you sir.

[@brendonbenson]

How come its not blowing a gale 😅 and blaming you for the wind i have to shoot in😂 Looking forward to this one and your fault again iv bought a fancy front rest to see if it will improve the scores. Thanks again for another great challenge 👍👍

[@Dayattherange]

Brendon I told the wife I had to drop everything. The weather man was on just as I was walking by and said it was the first day of the year where wind would be 0 to 2mph.

[@ArkansasBadBoy]

😊

[@jefferymoyer4971]

Going to get the wife to download this challenge and make attempt to shoot this .Great job 👍 I think your ammo wasn't a good match for that rifle

[@johngarrett6256]

Big guy you know as well as I do just because one ammo shoots in one gun don't mean it's going to shoot in another. 😀👍

[@Dayattherange]

Absolutely I just had to try it because I am seeing more and more people get great results of pistol branded ammo

[@takedeadaim8671]

Looks like 40x is not happy with that ammo. A harmonic issue but that’s a beautiful,rifle. I love the message behind the project. Take care my friend

[@Dayattherange]

Thank you God Bless

[@jefflayton5889]

Do you have a link to the rules for your challenges regarding the classes for the rifles used. I like the way you changed up scoring for the target btw, makes it a lot easier to score.

[@chrislang5659]

That looks like a fun target! If you superimposed those rounds on each other I'm sure they'd be well under 1moa!

[@CountryRimfire]

You almost always say, "And we are here @ the 50" 😮 So some people must not be paying attention 🙄 Nice shootin' Elija, but with that 46" barrel, you are a yard over the firing line 😳 I see how you work now 😂😅 Nice job, man!!! 👏

[@Dayattherange]

Dude I heard my wife upstairs LAUGHING I asked her what's so funny she told me to read your comment. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@CountryRimfire]

@Dayattherange hahaha 😆 😂 to funny guys!! 😁 All in good fun, my friend 🧡 I was going to say, I already shot this target and used your son's scoring method 😳 got 15 "5's, and now you wanna switch it up 😂 lol You guys have a great 4th, man!!

[@thegunslinger4570]

Great aid with extended rounds for us with short fingernails. Does he sell those round lifters to the public?

[@Dayattherange]

I will ask him I do not think he sells them. He was VERY frustrated with me throwing my rounds on the bench and this thing showed up LOL.

[@Jeff-mv4yy]

@@Dayattherange Man , I'd like one of those too.

[@D70340]

I have that exact scope. I took it back off my rifle because it was worthless past 20x.

[@Dayattherange]

This one happens to be nice out a little past 32 for me I would say about 34 to 36 power then it gets a little fuzzy. What I did notice for some odd reason if you do take it up to 40 the parallax needs to be readjusted. For what I paid for a new scope and literally BEING the cheapest out there when it was on sale I am keeping it.

[@sergiofranco374]

Nice! The target is printable correctly on A4 format? Anybody know the ID of the rings for checking?

[@Dayattherange]

Just print it on standard 8x11 paper the rest will take care of itself sizing etc.

[@AaronBell-vx4pl]

I like the challenge, but why require single feed?

[@Dayattherange]

No requirement on single feed. I think you may be confused where I MEANT no one piece rest allowed.

[@AaronBell-vx4pl]

@@Dayattherange my bad. Possibly also my ignorance...is the Remington 40XB a single shot?

[@Dayattherange]

@@AaronBell-vx4pl Oh man no worries yes it is a single feed

[@susanball1311]

Question on sighters. My 52-e takes about five rounds to settle down. Is it against the rules to shoot some sighters off target or are we required to take only the two sighters on the target?

[@Dayattherange]

Only two sighters -- In my way of thinking I did that just to see how well WE really know our rifles.

[@user-vf2hq3xg9c]

Dear Mr. Revolver Guy , please give yourself & the rifle a better chance to perform @ your best . 5 to 10 warm up shots & adjust those sights so the groups are centered on the center of the target ! Don't be afraid to turn those turrets. That setup you have combined with good ammo should be nibbling on that blue dot with every shot. You can do it !

[@Dayattherange]

I felt that is cheating in a regular match sure BUT on this challenge the RULE is only 2 spotters could I take shots off camera or something sure BUT my integrity will not allow so. You see it just like I see it. Often times I setup up the cameras long before I setup the rest and rifle because of the time it takes and I want to get out of everyone else's way.

[@user-vf2hq3xg9c]

@@Dayattherange well its your challenge & that makes it more challenging ! Much respect & thanks for keeping it interesting . Enjoy your weekend.

[@user-hy6cm9mj7x]

I do t understand the “no one pc mounts”. We have voodoos and such yet somehow a one pc mount is a distinct advantage?

[@thegunslinger4570]

Yes, all competitions in my area don't allow 1 piece rest front to back. It seems to eliminate Rail Guns. Not sure if its the same for competitions in your area. EDIT oh I think he meant rests not mounts.

[@gibstera5580]

So, can one enter using. 17 HMR or .22 Magnum?

[@Dayattherange]

Keep it to 22. If there is enough interest in 17hmr I can create a class for it to compare all 17hmr's

[@HSmith-uk9hl]

While I always enjoy your videos, you make scoring this target unnecessarily difficult. Not everyone owns a scoring plug so there will be 5's claimed that aren't. Just simplify scoring by making it best edge.

[@Dayattherange]

Ya know that's the way I had it the first time and there was major complaints that way also. I think it is easy enough to see if it truly is a 5 or not. I hope integrity, FUN, introducing new shooters and us getting to know each other better/camaraderie are the main objectives for ALL.

[@lazybear236]

Make it worst edge!

[@Dayattherange]

Why are you screwing with me. It was you that complained of worst edge previously LOL

[@Grumpyseabee22]

So no one piece mount? So an Arken precision mount is a no no? Also, been to the website to print this one and I’m not seeing it.

[@brianwood7882]

I wonder if he meant one piece rests?

[@Grumpyseabee22]

@@brianwood7882 yeah… ? I have an Arken one piece precision scope mount ( zero moa) on a 30 moa one piece mount. My initial interpretation is that you need 2 piece scope rings. Some clarification is needed 😆

[@Dayattherange]

You don't need hearing protection on a .22. Next you'll need ear muffs to watch TV safely.
