Headed out to the range yesterday, damn was I cold. Being out in the sun was fine, but sitting under the shaded canopy for a couple of hours numbed the toes. Of course, I didn't help by wearing thin socks and sneakers. Poor choice.
However, here is my new toy. I've had her for a few months, but needed to finish grabbing parts to build her out. Finished it up yesterday morning and headed to the range.
CZ457 MTR Varmint
MDT 40MOA Rail
Vortex Diamondback 4-16
Salmon River Solution Hunters Rail
Accu-Tac SR-5 G2
I'll be using her for the upcoming PRS Rimfire season. I need a cheek riser, even with the lowest scope rings, maybe a 1/8" between rail and scope, I have to lift my head a bit.
To mount the rail I drilled some holes in the bottom of the rifle and used some threaded inserts. However, I inserted one of the brass inserts and screwed it up badly, bad angle. Tried to back it out, but it was a solid fit and I stripped the brass. So I tried drilling it out and messed it up more. I'm going to drill it out down the road and do a decorative insert but for now, it's fine.
Shoots great. I just took it to the range for some fun. I need to properly sight it in and zero it for 50, and figure out what I'm going to feed it. It seemed to eat everything I gave it yesterday with equal enthusiasm.
