    Rimfire Magic custom .22

    Just had one of these built
    Green mountain 16" fluted barrel
    Boyd laminate thumbhole stock
    Utterly beautiful , fantastic balance, shoots tiny groups
    And what a nice guy to deal with too
    Highly recommended

    What sort of groups can it achieve? I have been thinking about a green mountain for my ruger. Is it a tight chamber?

    I have been considering getting one of these.

    How long did it take for you to receive it from placing order?
    Exactly what is the group size at 50m?
    What ammo are you using?

    Finally - any pics.

    Cheers

    A Green Mountain barrel has a match chamber so it's tight.

    I ve got some pix of 10 shot 100yd groups shot at short siberia from a decent rest when I was just getting used to the gun- can email these

    Yes the chambering is tight, but it will digest a hell of a lot of subs before the first extract failure
    Its around an inch, would probably do better on a completely wind free day and from a pair of sandbags
    It likes the SK subs made by Lapua
    Yes Roger is a very nice chap, and makes a lovely rifle

    I wonder if I have seen you with this rifle. Perhaps shooting on Century, 100 yards bench a few weeks back?

    If so, I was on the next bench to your right.

    Very nice rifle!

    Hi yes, I remember, you were load testing a very nice rifle, very hot day, very pleasant though, even though SO19 were up to their antics next door!

    That's right, I am well behind on getting loads for that rifle exactly right but I am close.
    I took its first deer the following week, a nice little 6pt roe buck.

    As for antics, the loose dog belonging to what looked like tent contractors was a right pain in the a, maybe that was before you got there.
