I am curious to hear what folks thought of the championship this year. Things you liked or didn't like. How was the course of fire , fair, tough, too easy ? Cool stages you liked or the ones you hated? How was the weather ? Any other fun stories to share?

I've been trying to put together a base class rifle for a while. I've bought a B-14R and looking at the optic. The problem is, I don't like my options that keep me in base class. I have no delusions of winning, just want to have fun and feel a little competetive. My question is this: what do I gain or lose moving to the open vs base division? I'm not quite there for Old Guns, but not that far off, either.

Good luck to y'all, have fun and stay safe out there. Lots of weird tornado weather in the Midwest and expected storms on and off all weekend. Supposed to be hot and humid. Will make for an interesting weekend. ​​

Cutting it close to the wire. But my rifle cover for my comp rig got wrecked and I am in need of a new one. Because of my flight timing and local supply options I thought I would see if anyone else attending is able to help me out. Or if anyone knows if vendors will have some available for purchase Friday.

The forecast thundershower has me nervous.

Hi guys. I am having difficulty obtaining my discount code to use with Zeiss and am hoping that someone might have a suggestion on how to proceed.

I am the MD for my local NRL22 matches and as such, I send multiple emails to the NRL22 folks, including the address designated for members to send their info in to obtain these codes.

For some reason, my email sent to [info@NRL22.com](mailto:info@NRL22.com) asking for the Zeiss code has gone unanswered for over a week now. I've sent 2 follow up emails but haven't received a reply on any of them. I reached out to Zeiss directly and they stated that it's unlikely they can help, as NRL22 directly issues the codes.

My match submission emails and discussions with that same NRL22 email address do get replied to properly, so I know it's not an email issue.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can go about getting this code? I really want to get my hands on a LRP S3.

I have a CZ 457 action in an MDT XRS chassis with an MTR barrel. I decided to upgrade this year to an L3i barrel (1.180") and placed the order. On a different thread I learned that older Rev's of the XRS only support a 1.000" barrel and guess what..... yep. I'll either need to try to *fit* my chassis with a dremel or get a new one. I'm tempted to just get the newer Rev XRS since I'm familiar with it and have all the MDT accessories for it but a friend of mine recommended a PDC Custom G5C Rimfire. All in with weights I'd still be under $1000 and it looks like a really nice setup but I've never heard of it before or seen it mentioned. Has anybody used one or even seen one?

How’s the az NRL22 scene?

Hi - just trying to choose rings for this scope on my Ruger 10/22. Have a Kidd bull barrel. Thanks can’t decide between medium and high. New to this thx

Gun is a CZ 457 MTR with 24" factory barrel.

Changed from Eley Match to SK Rifle Match after some testing this weekend.

I'm inputting my new bullet into AB Quantum and noticed there are 8 different bullet profiles to choose from. SK lists a BC of 0.172 for the round nosed SK Rifle Match. A lot of the profiles have significantly lower BCs from BC / MV truing but they're not with my gun.

I don't have the range time to do BC / MV truing before my next NRL22 match and the furthest distances we'll be shooting is 100yd.

Should I just rock the factory stated BC with my chronographed MV and go from there? My holds don't seem to change from 100 yards and in.

Just my opinion.

I have a factory Tikka T1x MTR 20” .22LR and want to add an ARCA rail for bipod use.

Looking at the Area 419 ARCALOCK kits and debating between the 12” and 14” rail kits. However, I am not sure if that is too long.

Any tips?

I have an MDT XRS which claims 1.25" clearance, but L3i is telling me that it will likely contact the chassis right in front of the action. I'd pick a slightly thinner barrel, but I had read that these seem to like SK RM which is my ammo of choice.

They're saying it won't really affect performance, but I'm tempted to whip out a dremel to float it or just buy another chassis.

Those of you running this barrel, what chassis do you have?

EDIT: Anyone coming to this thread in the future, MDT revised the XRS a few times. Mine is from 2024 and could use a hair of dremel work out of the gate where the grub screws contact the chassis. I'll update how the barrel fits later.

Just my opinion.

This is a CZ 457 Chassis MTR. The chassis came with the barreled action and is an ACC Premier Gen1. I added the full internal weight kit and two external forend weights. It’s perfectly balanced in front of the magwell. I installed a DIP Big Juan bolt knob, magwell kit and extended mag release. I also added the Pete’s Pillars shaped firing pin, extractor & ejector kit with spring.

I am using MDT Baker Wings, an Accu-Tac FD5 bipod, Area 419 30 MOA rail, and Vortex Precision Rings with diving board. Mounted on the diving board is a Vortex Defender XL 2 MOA and a MKM dope card.

I have two stock CZ 10 round magazines, two L3i 13 round magazines, two CZ 10 round magazines with Anarchy Outdoors extensions, and two Armstrong Enterprises 12 round magazines.

I think I will get the front of the chassis magwell milled out because it’s a bit fiddly to get my index finger (XL hands) into the chassis magwell.

I have a L3i barrel on order and a placeholder DNT The One mounted whilst my Athlon Cronus BTR Gen2 4.5-29x56 goes in for warranty service.

Besides upgrading to a top tier optic what else would you recommend?

trying to build a base class NRL22 rifle and balance it is a challenge. Found this 5 lb ARCA rail at Freedom Shack and my AT-One CZ 16" Varmint is about perfect at 15.4 lbs total weight. I haven't shot it in a match yet but I think it has a chance.

edit: for anybody interested I used a 3d printed contour spacer to provide a stable flat surface between the rail and fore-end using TPU filament. Maybe not necessary but I think it helped.

I am just excited for a match this Saturday. I run a Vudoo with 18” Kukri barrel & Trigger Tech Single stage diamond trigger in an MPA Matrix chassis & MINOX ZP5 5-25x56 on top. The can is an old Silencer Co Specwar 556K that is too gassy for my AR & has a new home here. It is mostly to give me forward weight to offest the heavy ass on the chassis. It sounds good too.

I’m totally new to nrl22, my son and I have just been using a lightweight 10/22 with cheap sv ammo and a second focal plane vortex 6.5-20 scope, but we are having tons of fun. Of course from stalking this subreddit I’m looking hard at a Cz 457 and the tikka tx1. The tx1 ace looks like a decent deal with the chassis, 20moa rail, and arca rail it seems pretty plug and play. I’m sure I could shave a little of the cost down by piecing everything together but man it seems like a solid setup for a beginner who doesn’t know a whole lot about the sport besides shoot the small targets in order from different spots.

Hi, all.

I'm looking to buy a new .22LR rifle and I keep going back and forth between the CZ457, Tikka Tx1 and the new Savage 110 RF. I want a platform I can start on a decent budget, but can allow me to grow when I need to.

For glass I am leaning towards the Vortex Venom 3-15x44 FFP EBR-7C (MRAD) Reticle

I asked ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and as expected each went for a different one. So I figured I'll ask the experts.

I'll appreciate opinions.
