What great tips! I feel like I'm getting one-on-one training on proper equipment selection for NRL22. Greatly appreciate what you are doing for all of us.
Brilliant way to get the correct rings for the scope. So simple and so accurate. I shall always remember that one. That's another sub to your channel now.👍
Great series as I am building up the Ruger and all the data very informative... Already have the RPR in 6.5 set-up and the little Brother for a more cost-effective practice.
Thank you for all of the information you are providing. I want to use the Ruger Precision 22 WMR as the the platform, and even though the rail is a 0 MOA, this video is still very helpful. I did get the same Bushnell scope. If there was a NRL22 club near me, I might have done a 22LR, but since I don't have a .22 WMR and I sort of like that round just a tiny bit more than a .17 HMR, I went with the .22 WMR.
For clarification, you measured at 13.17mm (saddle) + 15mm 1/2 diameter = 28.17mm = 1.109 in And the vortex tactical (high) sits at 1.18. Love your content, building one just like it.
@@CopperStarPrecision Whew, thats what I had ordered while waiting for your response lol. Thanks for the confirmation. Unfortunately, most of the other upgrade parts from your other video are out of stock right now.
It depends. Lapping rings is only really necessary if you have bad alignment of the rings and/or the scope base. I've not found the need to lap rings on many of my setups. You can do this test to find out if you need to: Take the bottom half of the rings and put them on a very flat surface. You should be able to gently place the scope in the rings and have contact all the way around the scope tube without any gaps. Do the same for the top halves of the rings. This should tell you if your rings are good. Now attach the bottom part of the rings on the scope rail and make sure they are installed and torqued properly. Place the scope in the rings and do the same check for gaps. This should tell you if your mount is good. If you're sure you've done everything correctly and you're seeing gaps then I would consider lapping the rings. Otherwise you should be fine. You could also consider buying higher quality rings or scope base before lapping. Lapping can be difficult and there's not a good way to correct a mistake in the lapping process so only lap rings as a last resort, but that's just my opinion.
How did the 30 MOA cant work with this scope? I was thinking about going with this scope and cant combo but I have heard that there can be error when you get close to the adjustment limits of the scope for a zero.
It works well for me. The scope has 18 MIL or ~60 MOA of travel so as long as the cant is less than half of the scope travel you should be okay to zero at 50 yards. The windage zero should be close to the middle of the adjustment range as well. The windage adjustment may be limited after zeroing for elevation, but we rarely, if ever, dial for windage, we just hold for wind.

Glad it was helpful!
I have been looking at so many video on figuring out the right ring height and this is by far the easiest and clearest method, Thank you for sharing.
Glad it helped! Have fun!
Extremely great tips and explanation on the subject. Great job and thank you!

Wish I could have got mine in this gray color!

Correct. Good luck on the build!
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Cool
You can use a coozie for a sun shade too
Nice idea!
Love the series!! What height did you end up going with? High, Medium, or Low?
I ended up with the High rings (Vortex Tactical 30mm Tube)
Really enjoying your content. Decided to build one up like yours. What scope rings did you end up getting? Im doing the same Bushnell scope.

Anyone with a RPR rimfire ever experience their rifle leaning off to one direction when using a bipod??
I have not. Have you checked the torque on the handguard/action screws?
@Copper Star Precision ...all was secure. Even the rep from Ruger said its very obvious from the photos I sent. Awaiting the verbal bandaid.
your scope is 50mm or 56mm？
The Busnell Match Pro has a 50mm objective
@@CopperStarPrecision ok thanks
bro
@@CopperStarPrecision so 0.87 inch ring and 50mm scope isPerfect, right？
😅 can't take no more
so what scope rings did you use?
I went with Vortex Tactical Rings (High)
