40X Repeater Options

Well? Still a hammer? Does it look like the nose of the bullet gets smashed when it chambers?

Still a hammer. In fact when I screwed both guns back together and put both scopes back on point of impact had moved less than 1/2 inch.

Its a shame though, both guns still like Eley black and red. I was so hoping that yellow or some cheaper ammo would do well at 100.

One of the mags does not like to feed loaded up more than 8 rounds. But thats why I bought 10 mags, to weed out the weak and worthless.

Glad to hear it. Hope to get mine back soon.

Got mine back today! Can't wait to get it out, don't see the time in my immediate future though.

Spent some time today at the range with my 40X repeater.

Found a cat sized bush about 465-467 yards away. The wind died down quite a bit and TimK and I started plinking away.

It took about 35-36 feet of elevation to connect. Once we had it dialed in, hitting that bush was pretty easy.

Tried to hit the 600 yard targets but didn't have the time/energy/motivation to keep plinking. Just seeing the hits at 465 was a challenge.

Very very very happy with my conversion. Two of three rifles are done. Number three will get the conversion by Jonathan Elrod in a month or two.

This one has a Lilja 17 inch barrel and a JET Integral suppressor.

That was pretty good fun. The accuracy of the CCI ammo we were shooting was amazing. I can't wait to get mine converted.

Flight time of the bullet was on the order of 3 seconds!

Anyone shoot theirs at the 22lr match in Peublo last weekend?

Nope. It was a cancel. https://www.ar-15.co/threads/151753-...=1#post2003507

Went to Raton to shoot long range bolt guns.

Getting mine back next week. Johnathan had to tune the extractors.
