Rim-X 22LR Build: A Classy Yet Crazy Accurate Rifle for NRL22

- BUILDER: DESERT PRECISION GUNWORKS -

When it comes to precision shooting and competitive rimfire events like NRL22 (National Rifle League 22), every detail matters. Building a custom rifle that not only looks classy but also delivers exceptional accuracy is a goal many firearms enthusiasts aspire to achieve. One such recent build that embodies this pursuit is the Rim-X 22LR, equipped with a range of modifications and accessories to optimize its performance.

The custom Barrel

The centerpiece of this remarkable build is the barrel, which has undergone careful customization. With slight modifications and meticulous craftsmanship, the barrel has been slip fitted to ensure optimal alignment. This precise fitting enhances the overall accuracy potential of the rifle, minimizing any potential deviations that could affect bullet trajectory.

Moreover, the Rim-X 22LR boasts a unique 50-degree breech, a departure from traditional designs. This modification contributes to improved gas flow and enhances the consistency of each shot, resulting in enhanced accuracy. Paired with a modified custom 22 Bentz chamber and meticulously headspaced, this rifle ensures a seamless integration with its chosen ammunition, specifically the Lapua Center-X rounds.

LAPUA CENTER X AMMO

The choice of ammunition is a crucial factor in any precision rifle build, and the decision to use Lapua Center-X ammo further emphasizes the commitment to accuracy in this Rim-X 22LR build. By slightly engraving the bullets with the chamber, the ammunition achieves an even greater level of consistency and a closer bond with the barrel. This attention to detail ensures that the Rim-X 22LR can harness the full potential of the Lapua Center-X rounds, delivering impressive accuracy on the range.

The Arken SH4-Gen2 scope

To complement the rifle's precision and accuracy, the optics play a vital role. The Arken SH4-Gen2 scope has been mounted atop the Rim-X 22LR, providing shooters with crystal-clear visuals and precise target acquisition. With its superior glass quality, exceptional tracking capabilities, and reliable performance, the Arken SH4-Gen2 ensures that every shot is maximized to its full potential.

Crafted with precision and attention to detail, the Furiosa chassis provides a solid foundation, ensuring optimal balance and control for shooters.

The proof of a rifle's accuracy lies in its performance on the range, and the Rim-X 22LR does not disappoint. Even during the initial fouling process, where the barrel was subjected to the first 25 rounds of CCI standard velocity ammo at 50 yards, the results were nothing short of impressive. The rifle produced a group that can only be described as crazy accurate, setting the stage for what promises to be an exceptional shooting experience.

In conclusion, the Rim-X 22LR build represents the epitome of a classy yet crazy accurate rifle for NRL22 competition. With its carefully modified barrel, precise headspacing, engraving of ammunition, and the addition of the Arken SH4-Gen2 scope on top, this rifle combines meticulous craftsmanship with top-of-the-line components. The woox Furiosa chassis adds the finishing touch, creating a visually stunning and ergonomically sound platform for precision shooting. If the initial results are any indication, this Rim-X 22LR build is set to deliver outstanding performance and bring joy to shooters passionate about precision and accuracy.
