Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires New Rim-X

I built a 17 WSM with one. Haven't done a lot of shooting with it, but the little I have done has been a lot of fun.

Nice rifles fellas!

How do they compare to the Vudoo?

Good Lord! Is that the magazine hanging down? Wow! That thing is an abomination!.....Hb

Nice one!

Lol….do you feel better now? It’s amazing how arrogant people can be. You took the time to type out and tell a stranger that you don’t like his gun. Haha like anyone cares that a stranger on the internet doesn’t like his gun.

If it was a joke my apologies for not getting it.

Kaleb, if he is too blind to see the beauty of rimfire rifles configured just like your main hunting rifle, down to the action, scope, barrel and ugly but wonderfully functional magazines, then the fguk needs a white cane, sunglasses and a donation cup.......

But but you have those awful magazines hanging down. How on earth do you carry them around like that much less aim them and shoot animals?

Always enjoy the pictures of your dogs. Mine is getting older and slowing down. My daughters are about to have a fit for a puppy and I am not far behind them.

I got a litter of heelers be ready first week of april......hint

I was kidding of course, I just forgot the smiley face 😁 ....Hb

Might have to take a road trip!

Sorry it went over my head and I was a tool. Lots can get lost in text.

Question for you gents that are running custom Rim-x builds.

Did you notice any break in period on your barrels before they settled down and printed tight groups?

I have a half custom build off a Ruger 77/17 WSM action that got a new tube. After 200 plus rounds down the barrel, the groups are finally tightening up.

My experience with a few Lilja barrels, is they came ready to rock from the first shot. My Proof barrels seemed to need some rounds before they settled.

Beav, I wonder if that's cause the Proofs are cut and take a little extra to smooth out. I haven't seen 200 rounds to settle, but I have seen what you're saying. I always attributed it to me using cut barrels versus button.

200 rounds on my rimfire tube, which is a steel Lothar-Walther barrel.

The Proofs on my CF’s seemed to need some coaxing with several rounds, maybe a box eaten before they settled down.

I don’t have 200 rounds down mine yet but the couple times I shot groups on paper it shot as well as I can. Mostly I’ve just been shooting things. Well shooting and shooting at but I can’t blame the barrel on the missed shots…haha.

Mine was pre owned so no idea. I’m hoping to God the Shilen on my Anschutz will start shooting better but it’s got at least 250-300rds through it already so losing hope.

What 54(I assume) receiver? Threaded or pinned? Contour? Twist? Chamber reamer? Base? Rings? Glass? Trigger? Stock? Bedding? Recoil lug or no? Scope? Ammo? Plumber? Hint................

Gotcha. I think yours has a Lilja tube. The 3 centerfire Lilja barrels I have, shot as they should immediately.

I have zero idea of the mechanical aptitude required of a Smith to make a rimfire into a knot maker at 100 yards. The likes of Vudoo, TS Customs and their ilk seem to have it figured out.

My experience after having a couple Ruger 77/17 actions re-barrel by Clark’s Customs to 17 HMR and WSM. One, the HMR is precision sweetness, while the WSM seems to be improving as I pour more rounds through the tube.

Footnote…I picked up a Ruger Precision Rimfire in 17 HMR a few years back. Right from the box, the PR gave no concessions to my Clark’s. It came out of the box ready to slay small fur with boring like accuracy. YMMV
