How Good Is A $10,000 Rimfire Rifle?

When searching for a rifle you’ll usually find lists of budget friendly options that reach the bare minimum, but what about the other side of the spectrum? We wanted to see just how good you can make a rimfire rifle, specifically for PRS competition, so we tricked out a build with some of the best gear to make it as stable as possible with maximum control and then put it to the test.

▬ About MDT ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

MDT was born out of a single purpose: to provide better value and better accuracy for precision rifles. The first MDT chassis was developed from the ground up based on the needs of shooters.

Our engineers verified every function and feature based on the input from competitive shooters. The end result was a game-changing product called the TAC21 that continues to perform at the range, in the field and in competitions around the world.

Today, MDT chassis, magazines and accessories are still developed the same way.

We collaborate, question and verify our concepts with precision shooters from around the globe to ensure that every MDT product is designed with the same single purpose: to provide our customers with the absolute best product possible.

With that level of accuracy you should try using strike anywhere matches and try grazing the tips to get them to light.

The shots at 500 are wayyy harder than they look. Watching you dial it in was impressive. I shoot a b14r out to 500, but I have a huge soft sand backstop to see my misses, which makes it much easier. Plus even a bit of head wind can made a difference of 5-10 MOA elevation. Nice shooting.

I enjoy the honesty with this video. Other fake 22 channels pretend their "Precision Pursuit" is shooting 550 yards without difficulty. This is a realistic view of rimfire shooting. Thanks

Not sure what ammo you’re running, but we’ve had good luck with Lapua Center-X in our Vudoo builds. High precision .22LR’s are awesome because you can train as you compete with a full size stock and the same trigger. I also enjoy that I can shoot more without overheating the barrel which can be the case with centerfire. I didn’t understand the point myself until we did our first build……..then I wanted one for myself.

Not everyone has the disposable income to afford a Lambo, but we can still appreciate it for what it is. This is no different. For folks than can swing it dollar wise, this is a great build!

6:05 Seeing the bullet fly downrange is WILD. That is super cool.

🤔🧐ONLY AS GOOD AS THE AMMUNITION YOU FEED IT!!!🤣🤭

@MDT what was that tool used at 1:06 for tightening the scope mount?

[bdodson]

Best part is that you can throw a 700 footprint rifle into the chassis and everything will cross over. $10, 000 is just for the initial build. Add an additional $1, 500 per additional barreled action and have an endless number of calibers to choose from

I always liked tagging the bugs that would land on my paper when sighting in my anschutz. Neat build, need one now.

Looks great! I have my Vudoo in a MDT folder or Manners carbon T4A stock with mini chassis (I move it sometimes), just got a Vortex Gen III, Sphur mount and usually use a single pull Skye pod. Retail or MSRP is considerably higher than what I paid for some components, I used Match certs for the scope and stock so dropped the cost about $2K. Bought a triple pull Skye pod on the Black Friday sale but it still hasn’t shipped. Edit: There are two ways to go, full retail or on sale and maybe a couple of match certs. I'll show both here for the rifle shown. Stock $1600. Vudoo with barreled action $1405. Vortex scope MAP (minimum advertised price is $2, 999 but I think you are overpaying at that price, can be had for $2499 if you look around, and can be had for less if you get a cert like I did, or if you are mil or law enforcement. Rings $400. baker wings $239. Weights probably $200 for all of them. Ckye pod $900, but about $800 on Black Friday sale. Add the tripod, and ball head which as Really Right Stuff, Tripod is about $1200 and ball head $400
Total, rifle only, with discounts: $7143
Total, rifle only, no discounts: $7743
Total with tripod, with discounts: $8743
Total, with tripod, no discounts: $9343
This is not including taxes and shipping and handling. Which will bring the no discount total to $10, 000+ all said and done.

I’m new to this game. I’m hitting 300 regularly. I’ve only attempted 400 a few times. Falling a little short. I can’t dial it with my Vortex Viper. But I plan to take the time to figure the holdover next time out. It’s incredible what this CZ457 can do.

[shauno]

My T1X in a SCSA chassis with Arken glass ontop does those groups at 50m with SK rifle match all day for under a 1/3 of that cost ☺️

[nsboost]

Looks a lot like shooting my $4000 PCP air rifle at those distances. I think my air rifle would do surprisingly well at a 22nrl competition

[jackwhelan]

Beautiful rig. I don’t own a Vudoo yet, but will one day. Love my ACC. Amazing how many people think they could be an F-class champ with their Pa’s old Ruger.

[AllenLM]

The sad part is is that rimfire rifle is more accurate than any factory ammunition you're going to buy it is limited by the ammunition the rifle itself I guarantee there's more accurate than any ammunition you're going to buy

[jaketaylor]

Jesus do you guys want all my money? It's hard enough not to buy your I'm more than happy with my lss xl tikka build. To the point where I purchased an ess chassis set up and all the goodies for a tikka 308 build. Now all I need is cabelas to have a sale on tikka and I'm off to the races.
Mdt you make great products. Thanks for the Christmas card. Nice touch. You go over and above.

[theoracleprodigy]

Once split a card at 50 yards with my rpr 22 mag. It's great to 50 yards, at 100 it starts spreading out a little bit but still pretty good. I can't imagine trying to shoot 550 yards with a 22. That's impressive!

[Randy_]

Imagine setting up next to some guy that's rocking a 50 or 375 and you pull out your rimfire 😂😂 BDE for sure haha

[SPROTIPS]

Great video Ryan. I don't think the folks making the commentary below considers the prices of the optics, or has much experience shooting rimfires much past 50 yards, or from field positions / barricades.
