we Went to another NRL22 match at the Caledonia forest and stream club on dec 17. This was the second event they held. The turnout was down a few guys from the month before but still a good turnout for the temps. Nikki’s father came up from NY and he was gonna shoot in it also, but he didn’t realize exactly how the event would take place. He picked up a savage mark2 and yesterday we sighted it in. I knew he would have trouble because he only had a Leopoldo hunting scope that didn’t have exposed turrets and it also had a simple duplex reticle. If you wanna shoot in an event you need one or another, turrets or reticle. He ended up by not shooting but got a good idea of how it works and stuff he needs to shoot in the next match. Temps were -3 on the way there and it only got colder as the day went on. We were close to the northern boarder. We had all kinds of issues with the savage and the ruger with failures and stockpiles. Since I added the barrel to the 10/22 it had trouble ejecting. I polished the bolt and guide rod, and also messed with spring tension. Still a no go. I’ve always shot eley but I picked up a bunch of lapua centerX for this event. Ruger wasn’t having it, so we ended up sharing the bolt action. To my surprise my bolt gun was a single shot. I had failure after failure with ejections. I cleaned the bolt and chamber area before we left just to make sure I didn’t have issues. Other guys were using Kidd upgraded 10/22 and the rest had cz455. A couple triggers failed but they were able to get them up and running again. The savage didn’t straighten itself out. I’m hoping it was the weather and I’ll give it another try. If I have another issue with it I’m gonna buy a CZ instead. As far as accuracy the CZ and savage are pretty similar but the design of the ejector on CZ dominates. I hope on the current savage .22 they fix this. It’s a really accurate rifle and is setup for .22 c9mpetitions but it has to operate correctly in all weather conditions. If you guys have any thoughts on 8mproving the savage ejector please let me know in comment section. The ruger is getting a face lift. I ordered a Kidd bolt and print kit. I love KZfaq cause it’s a great place to share info and now I need your help. If you live in a Vermont or a nearby state and your interested in any upcoming events, here is a link to the club.
