#RimfirePRS

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its many types of guns, ammunition, shooting sports, and history! Last week we featured one of our very own readers’ homemade firearms. Axel’s dedicated 22LR SVD build was quite impressive, if not a bit finicky in the reliability department. A majority of you expressed interest in having his design picked up and refined by a major manufacturer. While I too, wish something like this would happen, it’s probably not in the realm of possibility. This week we’re taking a look at one of my own tinkering projects I’ve been working with over the last couple of months. This project, which I am calling the B14R SOLUS, is a combination of Bergara’s B14R rimfire trainer barreled action, and Aero Precision’s SOLUS Competition chassis and a smattering of other high-end parts and accessories. Why? Most of the fun I get from rimfire is just cheap shooting and training. Since I had the parts lying around and the capability, I simply wanted to do something in the complete opposite direction of “practical” or even “value-conscious.” The B14R SOLUS is supposed to be overpriced, and overbuilt and today we’ll take a look at all the parts I’ve put into it, as well as what ammunition plays best with this unholy combination of rimfire parts.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report!  This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its many guns, gear, ammunition, shooting sports, and history! This week we’re diving back into rifles and specifically one I’ve been wanting to check out for a while – the Bergara B14R. The Bergara B14R is a full-size rimfire trainer rifle meant to emulate the Remington 700 almost exactly. While this isn’t a new concept for rifles – rimfire trainer rifles go back as far as WWII – the B14R from Bergara offers the serious rimfire shooter a compelling case for a modern precision rifle trainer and today I’ll show you why.

Rimfire PRS (Rimfire Precision Rifle Series) shooting is fast becoming one of the most popular shooting sports in America. Not only does the sport have a lower upfront cost for most shooters, but the series also invites newer and less experienced shooters to the fun with its fun and friendly environment. In that same vein, Dave and Tony with the Modern American Rimfire Series (MARS) club have gone above and beyond to bring more and more shooters into the sport and MARS has now expanded to cover nearly half the country and is becoming more and more organized as members start to join in greater numbers. If you’re curious about MARS or rimfire PRS shooting competitions, this podcast is just for you.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world. Today we’ll be reviewing some match grade .22LR ammunition – Lapua X-ACT. Ammunition is quite expensive right now, even for rimfire shooters. However, despite the increased cost of ammo, I have seen people come out in droves to shooting competitions. With a rimfire PRS match on the horizon, I decided to test out some premium match-grade ammunition to see if the extra expense really translates to extra accuracy.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of  The Rimfire Report. In this ongoing series we discover, review, and discuss anything and everything surrounding the rimfire firearm world. Recently we covered a few lessons we learned from a competitor’s perspective when it comes to competing in a Precision Rimfire match such as the Mid Atlantic Rimfire Series. I was fortunate enough to be able to have a friend of mine interview a match director so that we could get a good perspective on what it is like to actually set up and run a PRS match.
