Looking to buy one, anyone know of any for sale locally?
In bought a used Boyd one for a great price.
Added the front sight(dovetail)
Probably going to shave down the rear receiver and thread it instead of using the top rail.
I remember that thread from the other site. Was the general idea to shoot groups at different torque specs and see what shot best? What did you settle on?+1 on the torque issue. That made all the difference for mine.

Same here. It was confiscated by the minion though, so I'll have to build something else now...I don't remember what I have mine tq to, but it loves CCI Standard.
It's boringly accurate. I shoot at bugs on targets to make it interesting
Funny that you bring up the minion. My FVSR acquisition was prompted by the realization when I looked into the safe one day and realized that the minions now had all but one of my 22lr guns. I was determined to fix that error so I started on a quest for a new 22lr. I've had the 10/22, wasn't really a fan but it was just ok. One I had was an old Savage that belonged to my grandfather. Oldest minion has it. So after comparing for accuracy, trigger, future suppressor host I pretty much ruled out the 10/22 because even though it is easy to modify, by the time it was acceptable in all categories, I'd be in for like $700. The Remmy 597 has an abysmally bad trigger. It came down to between the CZ and the Savage, hey price wins this time because of domestic manufacture, go 'Murica!Same here.

Aren't their rimfires manufactured in Canada?Funny that you bring up the minion.

Is there a good tutorial for doing it, or someone that does it local? The Pro Varmint is Boyd's new name for what was the Tacticool stock.If you go Boyd's, go on and pillar bed the action. While torque is still important pillars make it less sensitive to it.
The DIP bottom metal was part of the package I ordered, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten any screws at all.Yup, you need the DIP bottom metal product. When you do the pillar bedding, be sure that the barrel is still free floating. What's your round count at this time?

Was able to shoot some more yesterday, but only what's on the target below. It''s continuing to tighten up. The tightest groups (small diamonds) were with RWS Target and CCI SV. The others were with CCI Subsonic, Aquila Super Extra SV, and Eley Match (by far the most expensive). Still only about 250 rounds or less through it. I've got the receiver screws torqued to 14 lbs and am not touching them until it's fully broken in.
Idk how "good" but here is mine from 5yr ago.Do you or anyone have a good write up pillar beading them?
Thinking of picking one of these up myself. Was originally looking at the 455 Tacticool but they seem near impossible to find! I need something to put my can on when it gets out of jail anyway!
Which scope do you all recommend?
