Well I am officially down the rabbit hole. This is the first episode of many to come with both of these rifles in 22LR. Welcome to the Eley Tenex Edition!
I haven't heard "Seasoning the Barrel" in forever. OMG, thank you. I knew an oldtimer that forgot more about shooting then most people do. He said 10 shots to season and or get the other powder out of the barrel.
Funny you mentioned about the Olympic stuff. I have 7 boxes of USSR ammo that dates back, and it's no longer available. It fits the chamber noticably tighter than other match ammo. It shoots very very well.
Nice shooting and love your show! Thank you! Try not to change parallax to correct for focus. First do your focus, then parallax. At least don't shift parallax during a match :) Thank you and you're the best!
My Lithgow LA 101 22lr prefers Lapua Midas +, closely followed by Elly Match and then CCI Standard. In bench rest at my local range (Hunter class) I have consistently come home with either gold or silver medal. My best score for 5 rounds was 50 (out of 50) with 3 (out of 5) centres. My best overall score was 250 out of 250 with 11 centres out of possible 25. The biggest handicap is the nut behind the butt. Some of my friends also have a Lithgow but their rifle prefers different ammo.
Freeze framing and comparing your low shots with CZ455 , you have a different cheek weld on the groups. having a solid cheek weld on a riser plate would definitely help
If you check your headspace you can then test which rim thickness the gun will like. Remember that the cz455 headspaces off the rim and not the bolt. With eley, you have to sort on rim thickness. To achieve the best accuracy, you do now want a deviation of more than +-.0001" on the rim from round to round. You can buy the gauges on amazon for a tad over 50$. It's not the scope, it's the rim...
When you set the parallax, don't be fussy about the clarity. Try moving you head around slightly while holding the scope still. If the reticle moves off target the parallax is not correct. Adjust until moving your head slightly does not move the point of aim.
The CZ barrel is a Lothar Walther barrel. Walther is a different company. The founder of Lothar Walther, best known for barrel making, was related to the founder of the Walther enterprise, well-known for handguns and target rifles in particular.
@dadoody come back and let us know how it shoots. Curious what rifle are you shooting it in? If you get a chance download the target from here www.dayattherange.com/?page_id=7184 and come join us in a friendly challenge. If you submit pictures or video of your target and rifle you will get your own page dedicated to your results.
I thought it was scope too until I saw you shoot a group high again with no previous adjustment. Your front rest is not tightened down and moves on recoil. Yes that will cause it.
I'm somewhat of a newbie with the 22 rifle.i recently purchased the cz457. Have had the best results with sx rifle and the wolf match. Have not tried the tenex. Got me curious now. Love your videos.
I would agree with shooting the Eley next before switching brands. Double check your bedding screw tightness to see if one might be coming loose. I find that makes the groups spread out. I am real curious what you find out with the SK Pistol Match. My CZs and Anschutz do well with those. Just had my best ever 50yd group of 0.16 inches with that combination.
I would be very interested in seeing you test the Aguila line of 22lr. They have there own version of velociter and stinger made by cci. The price looks really good, would be great if it also shit straight.
all 3 of my remington 513t match master rifles shoot bugholes at 100yds with remington golden bullets along with other rifles i have in my collection but this ammo should not be used in any semi-auto. A new barrel will take 200+ rds to break in with a standard barrel, a stainless barrel may take twice that many. have you checked your bedding with the new barrel?
@@tammyvancleve Tell Jerry I said thank you for the support. Unfortunately I can't put a link here on youtube advertising where to get one without big time scrutiny. But with a simple google search on the 3rd link down I did find a place that said they had them in stock.
All .22 must be Lot tested. Even Tenex. I have some good Lots of Team that out group good Lots of Tenex. The EPS bullets start out as Tenex. Then get downgraded based on accuracy across the 5 test barrels at Eley.
In my original video Michael I talked about my cleaning regimen which does include cleaning the barrel off camera when it is a different brand. Meaning Eley uses the same lube across Eley brands. When changing to Lapua or Remington or even SK the barrels are cleaned. Hey thanks for watching join us on the dayattherange 22 challenge.
I pull a dry bore snake through my Lithgow after each ten rounds (at bench rest) just to removed powder residue. Keeps my rifle very accurate to the point it our shoots me!
im thinking the CZ has a scope problem something loose or something.. it was hitting high then lower and lower ..Tenex isnt going to beat your girl in either one of those rifles!!!
Welcome to my world of baffelment ...definately should be getting better groups than that with Tenex ... if your daughter beat you with a 10/22 then maybe its you. Your in the hole on this one.
No offense but that scope with the CZ is going haywire and not holding its zero. Get yourself a better scope if you want to compete with your daughter. Otherwise, she will steamroll you in the next match and leave you in the rabbit hole. :-)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ----- Now that's funny. I was so worried about the scope had to do some shooting today with that ammo in the next video it did fine. I may re-shoot with the Tenex.
@@Dayattherange Well that's good to hear it wasn't your scope as I've had a few that stopped holding zero over the years. Most recently, an old Redfield Ultimate Illuminator went to pot on me. :-( It was guaranteed for life but the company is dead. (dang it!) My best most reliable scopes have been my Vortex Razors, Viper, and Trijicon. Always enjoy your videos and look forward to more!

hello, I'm a Brazilian fan! I practice shooting for years and I really like your videos! 22LR is pure fun!

Thanks for your videos, their straightforward and your presentation is great.

Love day at the range real good series and I love the revolver guys enthusiasm
Freeze framing and comparing your low shots with CZ455 , you have a different cheek weld on the groups. having a solid cheek weld on a riser plate would definitely help
Now you have subscribers from Australia
Wow Glen thank you
Wow! That suppressor calmed that Eley down in that CZ.

You change the parallax on the scope n the point of impact changed !
Something is not right with the scope
I think
I was thinking the scope too.
That was my very first thought when I saw the first shot hit low . Something going on with the parallax adjustment.
Replicated the same thing yesterday to see if that was the issue and it sure did shift my groups up and down by about 1"
When you set the parallax, don't be fussy about the clarity. Try moving you head around slightly while holding the scope still. If the reticle moves off target the parallax is not correct. Adjust until moving your head slightly does not move the point of aim.

I just bought some of this Tenex stuff. Supposedly it's some super accurate thing. Can't wait to try it.

Nice video ... Like to see standard velocity test ... CCI ..... Aguila .... Both standard vel. ..... Aquila..... is 1130 f/s

Try RWS Target Rifle. A lot cheaper than Eley and Lapua but performs well through both my CZ455 Lux and Browning T- Bolt.
I would be very interested in seeing you test the Aguila line of 22lr. They have there own version of velociter and stinger made by cci. The price looks really good, would be great if it also shit straight.
Would like to see the CCI Standard Velocity. It shoots great in my Tikka T1X
CCI standard shoots good and is well priced. Give it a go. Having a cold beer, hope that helps ya out???

Curious why don’t you make scope adjustments occasionally to get on target 🤔
Catch some of the later video's Jim, 😁
Hello, superb, what is the brand of this beautiful stainless rifle, good shots
The scope seems to me to be the problem . I have had the same problem before because of the scope .
Ransom rest will do the job.
Sk match and center-x with the cz455
Lapua brands coming up next :)
Jerry my husband needs to find out how to get a Lithgow LA101 in US??
Jerry loves your channel

Can you give us a hint ?? ---.com or call him?
Not so sure about that Eley Tenx ammo, too much variations with both guns...

What scope and mounts are you using on the Lithgow mate..??
Nothing special Zee Burris and an old Redfield 6-18 Hunting scope.
@@Dayattherange thank you mate from Australia
For comparison you should not use magasine - it,s nesessery to load ammunituon manyaly one by one
wouldnt you get a better result if you cleaned the barrel between different ammo?....mixing ammo probably isnt the way to get the BEST results

Is it 50 metres / yards? Distance ???
50 Yards
Shoot 'em if ya got them! Only way back!
Think the charge is off for the CZ it is between nodes shootin' two group each time
im thinking the CZ has a scope problem something loose or something.. it was hitting high then lower and lower ..Tenex isnt going to beat your girl in either one of those rifles!!!
Welcome to my world of baffelment ...definately should be getting better groups than that with Tenex ... if your daughter beat you with a 10/22 then maybe its you. Your in the hole on this one.
Oh man that hurts --- that just hurts 😂
How bout putting those rifles in ransom rest its more secure.
I told him in a previous video how to fix his existing rest.
Try rws
No offense but that scope with the CZ is going haywire and not holding its zero.
Get yourself a better scope if you want to compete with your daughter.
Otherwise, she will steamroll you in the next match and leave you in the rabbit hole. :-)
