The best .22LR rifle? Victrix Venus Pro SB
Welcome to part 1 of my Victrix Venus PRO Small Bore rifle user guide! In this video, I discuss the essentials: from crucial safety tips to the detailed features and specifications of the Venus PRO. I'll also walk you through the rifle’s controls and adjustments, share my personal pros and cons, and give you an introduction to Victrix Armaments. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or a beginner, this guide is packed with insights to help you master this masterpiece of engineering.
Although I mention the price as a con, I think it’s pretty good value for money, especially if you compare it to a RimX action, MDT elite chassis, and match barrel combo!

    Jon, can you explain the cycle of operation when the gun runs dry? What causes the bolt to be held open on last round, and equally what allows the bolt to continue to cycle when there are rounds in the magazine without it being held back between rounds?

    Chassis lenght of pull alone will disqualify it for most people , its longer than any other chassis by some margin, having scope on XXL high mount does not help author's credibility.

    • @JonCresswellUk
      @JonCresswellUk 29 днів тому

      Hi, thanks for the feedback. The Venus pro has a length of pull from 35.2cm to 37.1cm (as measured on my rifle). Standard length of pull for rifles is approximately 34cm, so the Venus chassis is only slightly longer than standard in length of pull. Agreed, I could have opted for the 34mm high mount instead of the 48mm high mount. I couldn’t go any lower than that otherwise my scope wouldn’t clear the foreend picatinny rail - this was a bit of a miscalculation on my behalf and I agree that it is slightly high for my rifle. I do tend to shoot keeping my head more upright as opposed to the traditional high cheek weld. It works for me, but point taken. Thanks.

    • @Mr.T-SI
      @Mr.T-SI 28 днів тому

      @@JonCresswellUk IF you look at competition like MDT they go 31-37cm ,in PRS we are going shorter all the time as unlike conventional rifles you shoot much more squared to the target .We compared them to MDT and its just to long for many , i guess Victrix will change that buttstock sooner than later.

    • @JonCresswellUk
      @JonCresswellUk 28 днів тому

      @Mr.T-SI thanks. In comparison to that chassis you are right, it is longer with less adjustment in the length of pull. I will feed this back to Victrix. Thanks for taking the time to share your comments with me, I appreciate it.

      @OwlsAndChickens I explained the mount height and the reason for the pic rail in the video 👍. You could easily fit the medium mount (#3438) I wanted to have clearance of the enclosed foreend. The pic rail is for my bipod as it’s not an arca bipod.

    I shoot a VICTRIX ORB and definitely VICTRIX knows how to make 22LR. The VENUS is perfect for PRS and the ORB is the best 22LR for ELR22 . Accuraccy, ELR features , TACOM Charlie mount, Rear Adjustable bag rider, very high V0 and fast cycling 10 round magazine, for shooting in the wind at 600yards. And about price: just add, what making a custom rifle would cost and how much time it will take...... and add the possibility of mismatch of parts that will need adjustment and upgrades.( been there done that) . After you do your own calculations... you will see that the VICTRIX is actually a very good and reasonable investment. Your will get a rifle that is second to none from day 1 and start enyoing it.

    • @JonCresswellUk
      @JonCresswellUk Місяць тому

      Yes the Victrix Orb is a nice choice for ELR. I’ve not yet had a chance to shoot it, but it’s got great features. Thanks for the feedback. Yes the costs of individual component parts for different manufacturers would cost a little more and the time to build and set up would also be considerable. I do think the Victrix is exceptional value for money for the competitive shooter.
