I've been hearing a bit about Zerotech scopes, never seen one in person though.

Sure is, amazing glass and build quality. Tracks well.

Will be buying as many as I can afford.

This is the Japanese made scope.

Zerotech are underrated.


Re chamber on that barrel, it is cut nearly identically to the vudoo, slight crush fit at 3/9 o’clock so you get consistent velocity and accuracy. You should see how well it shoots with cci standard! Amazing

My 1761 17m2 shoots exceptionally well but the bergara is on par if not better due to the mags.

This shoots as well as my mates (4 of them) vudoo’s - if I did it again I’d get a hardy carbon full diameter barrel 40-50mm thick in 22RF

Beetroot, I’d add trigger after barrel and chamber.

CCI SV is what I've ended up shooting in most matches the last few years, it was the only ammo I could reliability get. Would love to have a barrel that shot that stuff well.

My T1x is pretty good, wouldn't say amazing though.

Hmmm. Would you run a high performance engine such as an aircraft or race car on 91 octane fuel? Even a chainsaw needs deceng gas or its performance is significantly reduced.

Same with a rifle especially a 22. CCI SV is the equivalent of 91, sure the engine will run but hit a tricky spot and ask for its all - it aint happening! 91 isnt bad fuel, its consistent and reliable within its design parameters. CCI aint benchrest ammo and anybody who thinks it is . . . well they are cherry picking their shooting data.

I don't disagree, but CCI SV has been the only ammo I've been able to get consistently ove the last 3 years.

I did some ammo testing a started to buy Eley Club as that shot exceptionaly well in my rifle, but the batch of ammo I stocked up on turned out to shoot like shit at long range in my rifle.
I took multiple range trips, boxes of ammo and matches before I diagnosed the issue, so went back to CCI SV when Eley/RWS became scarce.

I shoot PRS events and CCI SV is actually fairly well suited to these events.
Inside of 50m CCI SV shoots not to bad, 50-150m it's acceptable (this is the distance I do most of my shooting), 150m+ is when it really starts to open up.

I'm not wanting to rebarrel my rifle in the hope of shooting CCI SV only, but if it does shoot amazingly well with it I'll be stoked.
