As always, you did a great job on this video. Thanks! I'd just like to say that in order to prevent any accuracy issues you could use sandbags on the butt as well or a full length shooting rest in order to eliminate the human aspect (I'm not complaining). For all intents and purposes however, you gave us what we needed to know. I've been sitting on the fence regarding the A-22 or the MR. Now I've made up my mind. Thanks again.

I just bought my Kel-Tec CMR-30 rifle. It was apparently the only one at the local gun show, the dealer did not replace it with another on display 5 hours later. I had already checked every pawn shop and gun store within 25 miles, none. I cleaned it overnight and fired it next day. I had no problems except those caused by a failure to properly load the magazine. I added a short scope, a 3x9 at 40 mm. I 'zeroed in' using a barrel laser and a few shots at 25, 50, and 100 yards, maximum available space. I was very pleased. I added a homemade carbon fiber forward hand grip. I will add a white light and perhaps a laser for close counter. It is a very well made rifle and is much fun as well as a serious weapon. Recoil is straight rearward, allowing quick access to target again. I do recommend a firm pull-in grip to shoulder. When firing from a non-shouldered position it handles very well. Instinct shooting at close range is very attainable. The 22 WMR at 40 grains was a good choice for this rifle. I had no misfires and only a few failure to feeds. I began at 20 rounds in each mag. Fired 400 rounds for the day. I want to thank Kel Tec for making a fine rifle. I have fired a few other of their guns and riles, but not a bull pup as yet.

My CMR ran for about 700 rounds right out of the box without cleaning. My only major complaints are the magazines...they are all polymer and have a bit of flex in them. However, if you load them right they run like a dream! I would definitely buy one again! The only serious downside is the cost of feeding it. At an average of around $15/box of 50, topping off 30 round mags gets pretty pricey.

thank you for taing the time and do the comparisson, Seems like 22 mag is a hunting round and it shows in the accuracy dept especially with semi auto rifle. My cz 457 lux however does 4.5 inch at 200 meter it was amzing

No disclaimer necessary in my opinion. It's your camera, your property, your guns, and your ammo. So, if you want to pull the trigger on video by all means do so. Viewers can (and will) judge marksmanship for themselves. I have two CZ 512's, one in 22WMR and the 16" carbine in 22LR. The trigger takes some getting used to but once you figure out the creep and where they break to fire both shoot with excellent accuracy. The 22WMR is sighted for 100 yards. I like the CCI VMAX, CCI A22, and Hornady VMAX. The 22 LR is sighted for 50 yards. I like the Federal HV. American Eagle HV shoots pretty well, too.

I plan to keep both, but if I could only keep one it would be the CZ 512. I like the magazines better, does not have the cheap plastic parts, and the recoil system is simpler and smoother. I like the factory stock better. The things better with the Savage are the trigger and the steel receiver. The CZ trigger can be worked on, and overall the CZ has an edge in accuracy as well as styling. They both shoot well and the Savage is about $100 less if that is a deciding factor. But if I had to choose one it would be the CZ 512.

Quality of the build: Magnum Research and CZ tied for #1, Savage #2, and Kel Tec #5 (a distant last place) Cost Savage is the least expensive then CZ followed by Magnum Reasearch and Kel Tec tied for most expensive. The only reason to get the Kel Tec is for the novelty of such a light rifle that holds 30 rounds in the grip. It is fun and I am going to keep it, but I would not get it if it was going to be my only 22 Mag rifle. The mags and stock have been the biggest areas of complaints about the savage, but it is the least expensive and mine has functioned very well with a variety of ammo. So if you are on a tight budget look at the Savage. Any of the top three will serve you well if you plan to only have one 22 mag rifle.

All of them really seem to shoot pretty close and would be pretty nice small game hunters at 100 yards if the scopes were zeroed in for it.. I am actually to see the CMR-30 hold its own. I think it is a great little gun with such nice little 30 round clips and a reasonable price and it folds into a package only 22.5" long. at 3.65 pounds it almost feels like a toy and it looks so small next to those other rifles. I think the primary use for this is a survival or backpackers gun as it is so small and light and easy to store in a backpack and while the 22 magnum is not going to have the stopping power of a shotgun or AR-15 I do think a 400 40 grain hollow point does more than enough damage to be considered lethal.

Good to hear you got a good one Kel-tec is a small but fast growing company and they have suffered a few growing pains. Some of their designs have had issues and some of their guns have had a lot of lemons off the assembly line. The CMR-30 and PMR-30, do to the small bullet and odd magazine, tend to have feeding issues if everything is not perfect. Most of the time they get sent in and Kel-tec just has to polish the feed ramp where the bullet slides into the chamber. I really want to get the CMR-30 and PMR-30 as they make a great combo. Each comes with 2 magazines so when I want to go out shooting I already have 120 rounds in magazines without spending extra money. The PMR-30 I would have to get the factory 5" barrel (which comes with a threaded barrel and a small flash suppressor on it). Not only does this seem to help with the feed issues a bit and drastically reduce the muzzle flash, but it increases the velocity by about 10-15% and should also increase the accuracy. Both are on my wish list right now... and maybe a KSG... :D

@jay8557

5 жыл бұрын

A suppressor is not a barrel extension with any rifling in it. It is a hallow tube, with noise baffles lined up in it, to decrease the dB level. This will not increase the velocity of any round, shot through it, because the bullet doesn't actually touch anything. As the bullet goes through the suppressor, the gasses get manipulated around the baffles, and decreases the dB noise levels. Just a little fyi, so that you understand the dynamics, and don't end up spending an extra $500 on a suppressor, and another $200 on a federal regulations stamp.

For a rear bag, get the Protektor brand, and do yourselves a favor and buy it/them pre-filled with sand from the mfg. Doing so will save you about 45 minutes of labor and bad language. Michael, your accent sounds like Pennsylvania to me, which is where Protektor does business. Using a benchrest or bipod, and a rear bag, will enable you to be WAY more consistent in your bench shooting, so the results will be more meaningful. I've owned probably a dozen front benchrests, ranging from $75 to more than $900. Sold them all over the years, except my trusty Sinclair version. But the Harris bipod is much lighter, very stable, and you just might like it. So the benchrest only goes to the range when I'm shooting my target rifles that don't feature a provision to attach a bipod. #2) When I shoot for groups, to compare rifles and/or ammo, I shoot at least 5 consecutive five-shot groups with each rifle and each type of ammo. I'm currently testing (coincidentally) five different types of .22 WRM ammo, and narrowed down the bunch to just three contenders after the first round of testing. Then I shoot five consecutive 10-round groups with each rifle, and narrow it down further. To measure groups, I use a caliper, but there's no need (unless you enjoy it) to try to measure group size to 3 decimal places. #3) For this kind of testing, you really should get a good zero (point of aim and point of impact are pretty much the same) before you start. Otherwise, like Michael's results, some of the shots are off-target, and that just nullifies the results. #4) If you want to try a .22 WMR, and think I'm not totally FOS, then I recommend you get a Ruger Precision Rimfire, and the best load in this rifle in my accuracy tests so far (not the best time right now to be trying to find/buy ammo!) is the Federal Game-Shok (50 gr.) At 50y, my rifle and this ammo can hold sub 0.75" ten-shot groups. That's an average figure. However, the Keltec CMR-30 is a LOT of firepower (30 round magazine, just like their PMR-30) in a very portable package and is a lot of fun. If the armadillos come rampaging en masse where we live, I would grab it. But if I needed to pick off their ringleader at 100y, I'd grab the RPR.

Thanks for watching. I just show it like it is. At lease the relative accuracy should be useful information. The KelTec has had a broken ejector already and is more likely to jam. The other 3 have been very reliable. The A22 did not do well with Dynapointe ammo. The MR is not supposed to be used with bullets less than 40 gr. The CZ has functioned well with everything. So if you don't want to worry about what ammo you can get your hands on, the CZ is the winner. Check out my channel if you get a chance, and once again, thanks for watching.

I never had that large of a grouping with my savage. Never. I am starting to warm up to the CZ. She's a cute one. The 100 yard test is better in my estimation when compared to 25 yard tests. You can't even zero a scope at 25 yards, why do it. Now let's back it out another 50 yards. 150 yards, just for fun. I've been told the drop rate is like a rock after 100 yards.

Shooting without a rear bag isn't going to come close to testing the abilities of these rifles, the only thing being tested here is your ability with different firearms. Most of these rifles are capable of fraction of an inch groups at 100 yards. Here's a video of a Savage 22WMR that is probably not as accurate as the A22 but shooting far tighter groups because the shooter knows what he's doing. Not shooting properly for group size is a disservice to the manufacturers of all these firearms.

The sand bag & cinder blocks are ridiculous back yard amature hour bullshit. The right way to do this should be 1st) Using a Quality Gun Rest. Then shooting measured distances of both 50 & 100 yards. If you wanted to take it a step farther ( I certainly would ) move final range distance out to 150 yards. Finally, Pick a single ammo brand & weight & use it in all weapons & distances.
