If you get curious and completely disassemble the rifle or you're replacing the Sear Spring with the YoDave one, be extremely careful when you remove the Sear Pin. There is a Sear Steel Ball in there (see 2:45 in this video) that will shoot out, and you will lose it. I only found mine after much frustration and the eventual help of a magnet. It's also very hard to get back in without a fairly simple trick, explained in this thread.

I would suggest trying to adjust the Trigger Rod Nut to adjust the trigger pull first. I've done that and found it to be quite good. That said, I'm going to buy the YoDave CZ 452 trigger kit right now and install it immediately when it comes (Hooray for not being unemployed anymore!).

Instead of a bipod like others are suggesting to steady it, I have found great pride in being able to properly use a sling (also this video and this hilarious one and this and this and this one for lefties and many others you can find yourself). My personal favorites are the M1907 leather sling and the USGI Web Sling. It's important to note that a heavier rifle does not necessarily make it more steady. In fact, after a few shots, it's more likely to become less accurate as your support arm tires. With the use of a sling, your arms will be substantially less tired than without, and you will be inherently steadier anyway.

If you can find an Appleseed Event near you, I highly recommend it. You'll get all of this from a qualified instructor with some one-on-one time as well. They suggest using a semi-automatic rifle with peep sights, but a bolt action with tangent sights (what comes standard on the CZ 452) will work splendidly. There you will learn basic riflery and marksmanship, as well as some American history through kind-of-embellished storytelling.

Here's a PDF copy of the instruction manual *PDF Warning, duh in English. Study it during take down and cleaning, and maybe you'll find the courage to completely disassemble your rifle. You'll have a greater understanding of how your rifle works after doing that.

Most importantly, be safe and have fun! You've chosen a fantastic rifle! Welcome to my favorite sport and passion!


Before handling a firearm...

remember, and remind those around you

Treat all guns as if they are loaded.

Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.

Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.

Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

You may be overthinking it a tad. Unless Ruger has done something remarkable with machining tolerances (and I'll bet they haven't) there's not much I do with my suppressed MKII's than dribble some of my powder solvent of choice down the receiver and scrub/wipe with cotton 3" shotgun patches. It cleans the breech-face to new, and I then have a clean gun.

I clean via the ejection port, and the underside opening.

I use the cheapest plastic pipettes that are sold on amazon, (link for reference point only, I think I paid $4 for 100 of them) to squirt the solvent where it needs to go, let it sit, then use 3" cotton patches (12ga shotgun patches) for general cleaning, again, whatever cotton patches are on sale @ Midway, or LGS or whatever, and $0.99 bamboo skewers (your local grocery store, pack of 100) to get the patches where they need to go.

The extractor groove, well, that's a twist with a solvent soaked patch via bamboo skewer and I call it a day. I don't get much crud out of that.

Other than that, the rest of the gun gets sprayed with either:

  1. Non-Chloronated Brake cleaner from Walmart or your favorite auto-parts store, its the same stuff as aerosol gun scrubber except that its regularly on-sale at the auto-store for like $2 a can. I just blast the shit out of the frame. Wear eye-pro when doing it, brake cleaner in the eyeholes isnt fun......

  2. more gun solvent soaked patches/rags.

    Once done, I wipe it down (everything internal and external) with the aforementioned 3" shotgun patch with your favorite gun oil (the brake cleaner strips ALL grease/oil away), and I call it a day.

    There isnt much left after that, for me, at least, unless I do a white-glove test.

I have the same scope (BDC version) on my Mkii, and it does pretty well. So far the BDC marks have been pretty accurate with just about any ammunition I shoot through it.

I have a cheap shooters ridge brand bipod from Amazon that works really well for $30.

u/tighran · 2 pointsr/rimfire

My bipod is a Harris, I believe this one http://www.amazon.com/Harris-Engineering-1A2-BRM-Solid-Base/dp/B000JJL81M/ref=zg_tr_4200841_1

I don't think it has the swivel/tilting ability of some (used for when shooting from an uneven surface I guess) but since it was to be used benched at the range that didn't matter. Though again, I seldom use it lately since I'm liking the challenge of shooting unsupported from a standing position.

It is solid and has worked really well when I do use it, BUT it didn't really seem to like mounting on the original stock. I removed the sling loop from the front stud to put it on, but the stud was so narrow that the bipod couldn't really clamp securely to it. It had no problems mounting to the stud on the Boyd's stock, however. I don't think the problem is necessarily due to the bipod but the narrow stud on the CZ stock, so I suspect other bipods might have similar issues, though I didn't really look into it. You could probably find more advice on the rimfirecentral forums if you're serious about putting a bipod on it.

yeah, on the variable end i've looked at this crossfire and also nikon prostaff. nikon's a bit cheaper but i already have a bunch of vortex optics and like them (and their lifetime warranty) a lot.

however, i don't think variable power is all that useful in my application, so i'd rather avoid the weight/fragility penalty.

my "ideal" scope for this setup would be leupold fx-i 4x28, but it's much more than i'd like to spend here.

is there a scope on the market that'll get me 80% of that for 50% of the money?

u/misawa_EE · 1 pointr/rimfire

I have a UTG Bug Buster that I swap back and forth between a 10/22 and a Marlin 795. I have been very happy with it.

u/kerit · 1 pointr/rimfire

My son and daughter use this one. It has held zero and the kids shoot accurately with it.

Aim Optics 4X 32mm Compact Rangefinder Scope with Rings, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F108VZ0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_n7EbAbKP80MVQ

We have other options for open sights, but when we go back to 50 or 100 yards from bench, they do really well with this.

u/Tin_Philosopher · 1 pointr/rimfire

I dont trust bdc reticles to be correct. I have a 3x9 p tactical mrad that i like alot. I want to put a vortex spitfire on a mk2 fvsr

u/souzaphone711 · 1 pointr/rimfire

Album to show it here. It's these rings that I'm using.

I've got a rail riser that works great but I took things apart and set up stuff to show the issue in the pic. I haven't gotten a chance to level it all out correctly and get the scope locked in, but it's on the to-do list for the next couple days.

This 53” was $115. No competition. Picked up the case from Amazon and added the Eley sticker.

" If I wanted an accursed 10/22, would it be better to start with a receiver rather than a rifle? "

Depends on how difficult your DM wants to make it to remove the curse. Is it the backbone of their campaign, or is it a hilarious rolling a 1 on your Dex save?

It only does 1d6 damage, but there's 25 rounds in that magazine.

Cheapest way to get some accurizing, buy a +1 Torque screwdriver for 41silver from the Amazonians, it will last you a lifetime of gun ownership. Also, throw out your barrel band, it's decorative and does harm accuracy if it touches the barrel.

​

Seriously though, the receiver, bolt, and frankly MANY other parts do nothing to improve the accuracy of the gun.

Accuracy is many factors, but the biggest lens to view parts with is about "consistency".

Bad scope the doesn't hold zero. Loose rings. Loose rail. Loose barrel. Loose attachment to stock all would obviously harm accuracy.

Ammo: number one is the primer. The better the primer, the better the ammo can be. Eley is famous for primer. Powder load consistency, lead consistency and eccentricity, all of which result is a chonometer measurement that's as tight a bell-curve as possible.

Adjustable Objective scopes let you remove parallax at varying ranges, Simmons 22 Mag AO is a cheap, GREAT for the money scope for Appleseed events. No parallax, consistent aim.

Cheek riser: consistency.

Trigger: You can shoot a 5 lb trigger accurately, it's just harder to pull, easier to engage flinchy muscles like your deltoids and upper arm.

Shorter chamber lets the bullet engage the lands and grooves sooner. Consistency.

11 degree match crown disturbs the bullet less.

Glass bed prevents rattling around in the stock. Consistency.
