Barrel Tuners For 22RF

#1 Postby 6.5x55ai » Tue Oct 07, 2014 10:19 am

Sorry, not exactly an F/FTR/TR topic. Where can I source 22RF tuners in Oz? I know I should be asking this on RF forum but will have a go here first. The rifle is a Walther Silo. Thanks

http://www.benchrest.com.au Stuart and Annie have Lowey tuners. Ive adapted a tmac SIA tuner for my 22lr.

Thanks Brad. Got a reply from Stuart - he recommends people now deal direct with Lowey due to the requirements of machining for different barrel dimensions.

The SIA tuner I got is actually for 308 target rifles and has a section where the front sight can be installed on it. I simply got a machinist to turn a bushing to a thou or two smaller than the diameter required then threaded the inside of the bushing to suit a thread on my barrel. Loctited it in. Not purpose built but it definitely changes the groups in 22 ammo. SK magazine is fantastic! If its hard to deal direct, I still think the SIA option isnt a bad one. Just need a better stock for the 22 now so I can use it for F class practice over summer.
