Imagine a game that tests all the elements of shooting. A game that tests your ability to consistently hit targets at the limits of your equipments ability.<br />
The game is a spin off of metallic silhouette.<br />
Developed in Mexico as a gentleman's game.<br />
At the onset our southern neighbors used live animals to shoot at . The first person to hit there target kept the animal as there prize . Large wagers were made at each shot. Over time the game changed to metal cutouts to represent the animals.<br />
The shots range from 77 yards to 201 yards<br />
The chickens are at 77 yards. Pigs are at 115 yards . Turkeys at 156 yards. Rams are at 201 yards.<br />

The game can be played as a solo act or with a spotter .<br />
The spotter can call the wind for you .<br />
A big deal at 200 yards as a change in direction can take you off your target<br />

Equipment used is varied . Mostly bolt action rifles dominate the line . Semi autos are becoming a force to be reckoned with as there accuracy and reliability have come along way in both departments.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My bolt action unlimited class gun.<br />
Anything goes in this class! (36x Night force scope)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My unlimited class semi auto.<br />
Again anything goes .<br />
(14 power Night Force scope )<br />
The semi autos are scored differently than the bolt guns as they present a different set of challenges!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My bench rest entry a semi auto<br />
This class is limited . No compensators or tuners allowed. No thumb hole stocks allowed.( 55 power Night Force scope)<br />
<br />
There are even classes structured for entry level competitors. Squirrel guns are off the shelf guns with 3 to 9 scopes. A real challenge. Have an Iron sight rifle there is a place for you too!<br />

So its your turn to compete . The match director calls "shooters to the line."<br />
You will start on an animal thru random draw !<br />
You will then be given the "ready" command .<br />
At this time you have a few minutes to make sight adjustments and prepare your gear.<br />
The "fire" command starts ten minutes to take sighter shots and ten shots for record!<br />

Working quickly to get zeroed in on the swinger target making adjustments till your conditions stabilize.<br />
A target must be knocked off the rail to score. A miss must be left standing!<br />
A haunting reminder of misread conditions.<br />

The conditions today were ever changing starting off with rain on the ram line .<br />
I left 3 rams standing a tough way to start the day.<br />
It has been a while since I played this game.<br />
The challenges haven't changed .<br />
The chickens and pigs were better for me .<br />
I finished up on the turkeys arguably the toughest line on the field!<br />
Ending up with a 35 x40 .<br />
I went on to shoot 2 other classes with a 37x40 and a 38x40 .I had a great day at the range with old friends and new alike<br />
A great way to burn up a brick of ammo!<br />

The age old question of where do I get enough elevation adjustment to shoot further.......<br />
I looked and looked and couldn't find what i was looking for . With my gun zeroed at 50 yards with a generous 55 moa of adjustment I topped out at 200 yards<br />
That is fine until I want to shoot further<br />
And we all want to shoot further.<br />
I calculated that with the 20 mos base from<br />
EGW I had 24 moa below my 50 yard zero.<br />
I needed a 40 moa base . To get the most from the scope the Night Force competition.<br />

A trip to the mill some math and I had the base set up with 20 more minutes . After profile milling with a ball end mill I had the base re machined.<br />

On this receiver I'd had a screw strip .<br />
So while it was apart I opened up to 8-40 base screws with torque heads a much stronger set up<br />
Ive always bedded my bases with locetite thread locker. I clean the receiver and sand where the base locates.<br />

The finished project notice the angle the base has 40 moa is alot of elevation<br />
I should be able to get from 25 to 300 with a twist of the dial<br />

As the name and picture indicate Victors rear lug was originally designed for a Kidd innovations receiver.<br />
A great receiver in there own right . Some pony up and get one . Some have a stock action laying around that they want to accurize.<br />
The challenge from Michael Victor was can it be done with a stock Ruger.<br />
I received the package and immediately started thinking about how to go about retrofitting.<br />

The first challenge was the receiver is cast and has a draft along the back edge<br />
The solution was to index off the bottom edges and square up the rear of the action in the milling machine<br />

My next step after measuring and squaring up the receiver in the mill was to cut a female slot into the receiver to except the male slot on the lug . I used a bottom cutting end mill and left .003" clearance<br />

After checking fit i moved onto locating the securing screw hole.<br />

Drilling the pass hole was not a problem<br />
Countersinking the head inside the cavity in the receiver presented the biggest challenge. I used every thing i had in the shop . Drill bits grinders and a countersinking tool by hand.<br />
I got it done and it looks good but a real challenge that requires a better tool<br />
<br />

Countersinking is the most critical part of the install. The head of the screw has to be out of the way to install the trigger group.<br />
The completed install looks great<br />

The name brings to mind visions of an era gone by . A mythical character of lore out of the old west. A man who can shoot it straight with a six gun and his word.<br />
The man the legend and those very skills are very much alive and well. A Character<br />
To some that have had the pleasure to have know him.<br />
Charlie as I know him was very instrumental in starting my path down the Rimfire road.<br />
It was some years ago that Charlie introduced me to Rimfire Challenge.<br />
He saw something in me that i didn't see and took me under his wing.<br />
You see there was a rivalry with Alabama<br />
And Georgia in the shooting game.<br />
Charlie had the answer train me to shoot<br />
Cowboy guns and make a rig for me to compete<br />

I won that match with the cowboy guns and rig . Winning open also .Winning the very first of 30 plus State Titles and 8 metals in World and National events.<br />
Launching my career in the Rimfire World.<br />
I had the opportunity to catch up with Charlie and go out for a shooting session.<br />
Charlie is now in his late 70's and doesn't get around very well any more.<br />
His love of shooting and his inability to move with the young kids of the fast paced<br />
Games drove Charlie to invent ever challenging games<br />
Extreme rimfire is one of his crowning jewels<br />
Long range silhouette from the bench at various ranges to 200 yards.<br />
Charlie excels at the game . Shooting month after month amazing scores<br />

BOLT:<br />
After looking at many aftermarket bolts I came to realize that the engineer at magnum reaserch had done their home work<br />
The headspace was cut perfectly on the breach face to .003" clearance .the exact number I try to hit when blue printing a bolt.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The firing pin is pinned up front for consistancy in ignition and reliability<br />
The nice feature is the firing pin stop preventing barrel and chamber damage in dry fire.<br />
All in all this is the most well thought out bolt I've used!<br />

BARREL:<br />
Here is the challenge keep the front of the gun<br />
Light enough for off hand use while Keeping the barrel stiff enough for hard use. All the while Keeping barrel vibrations down for repeatable accuracy.<br />
A big challenge for sure.<br />
After talking with several barrel makers of the usual suspects i came to the conclusion that I needed a carbon wrapped barrel.<br />
I had the right barrel on tap and after assurances from the factory engineer at Magnum Research I special ordered a graphite carbon wrapped barrel at 20 inches with 1/2×28 threads.<br />
Jim explained that there factory barrels were built using match quality blanks and specially chambered to match standards .<br />
Ive had a long standing relationship with Magnum Reaserch for speed shooting so I trust Jim's wisdom in all things 10 22 patern rifles . I didnt realize just how good they are at distance !<br />

MUZZLE BRAKE:<br />
I chose the SJC 3 port stainless rimfire .<br />
I am a partner in SJC so its obvious i feel they are the best on the market.<br />
The brake helps in recoil and muzzle rise using multiple directional thrust vectoring technology. There is zero movement!<br />

Thats a mouth full to say ! For good reason as this scope is packed with featues!<br />
Illumination<br />
Front focal plane allows precise hold overs at any magnification using the reticle.<br />
Return to zero feature that lets you come up on your dial without fear of loosing your place.<br />
Covered windage cap a great feature in competition or hunting being on the side and out of site . Protects your windage adjustment from getting bumped.<br />
I added some items to finish off the build<br />
The level in the top ring helps me keep the crosshairs level . <br />

The angle gauge allows me to know my exact target angle necessary for calulations at long range .<br />
The throw lever makes magnification adjustments fast and precise.<br />
NightForce has realy done there home work with this scope! The perfect scope to play out to the limits of the 22lr cartridge.dont get me wrong i have one waiting on my new hunting rifle . Perfect for any aplication where speed and accuracy are needed.<br />
I hope they will add a 5 to 25 x56mm F1 to the line up of SHV scopes for my bigger guns!<br />
To shoot a mile.<br />

Consistent accurate inexpensive. All features you want when practicing for any competition<br />
<br />
In conclusion as the pictures demonstrate this rifle lives up to its potential with amazing accuracy . Soft recoil and surprisingly light wait.<br />
The groups were shot at 50 yards outside .<br />
The average group was 1/2 inch on centers with the best measuring .278 inch on centers.<br />

All groups were tenshots. Puting that into perspective this gun put 30 rounds inside a quarter . Im very impressed to say the least!<br />
This was the high end of a rimfire build with no regaurd for budget it took just under a year to get it to this point! Stay tuned for my next build<br />
Long-range on a budget<br />
I had alot of help from the industry partners I have<br />
Thanks a bunch!<br />
