Excited to Learn and Share

Hi everyone!
I’m excited to be here. I’ve recently been diving deeper into the world of firearms—mainly focused on marksmanship, safe handling, and gear like optics (currently experimenting with LPVOs and red dots). I’m still learning, but I really enjoy the technical side of things—cleaning, maintenance, upgrades, and sighting in.

I value safety above all and enjoy connecting with others who are passionate about responsible gun ownership and continuous skill-building. I’m also interested in gear reviews, range setups, and real-world performance tips.

Looking forward to learning from you all and sharing what I pick up along the way!

Newbie from Cape Town

Greetings from sunny Cape Town in South Africa I’m new to the long distance Bolt action game but come from an avid pistol shooter background.

I joined a new range to test out my flux radar and ended up spending more time learning how to shoot a .22 rifle and now I am busy building a 6.5 Creedmoor With the plan to learn how to use it properly and accurately and then I can go baboon hunting

Rimfire Ruger 77/17 Zytel Boat Paddle Stock, Green Mountain Barrel

Ruger 77/17 17HMR. Zytel (boat paddle) stock, includes blued Ruger 1" scope rings and 2 Ruger magazines. Green Mountain barrel with 1/2" threaded muzzle, threaded thread protector, and a reverse taper near muzzle. When I got this rifle it had some surface rust between the stock and the right side of the action. I cleaned it off and oiled, but there is some very minor pitting. Does not affect function in any way - see pic out of stock for condition. Stock shows signs of use. Trigger is right around 1.5 pounds and very smooth. Rifle shot 0.5-0.7" at 50 yards with no effort put into ammo selection. $1250 shipped to FFL in CONUS.

It’s The Thought That Counts

PRS Rimfire Production & NRL22 Base Class Rifle Scope Selection

The new 2026 NRL22 rules are out. The MSRP limit for the Base Division has been increased to $1650 USD.

I’ve gotten a few questions about gear selection, so I put together a simple list to help. I’m sure I’ve missed a few options. If you have any other recommendations, feel free to drop them in the comments and I’ll add them to the list.

Best way to use it: go to “File” → “Make a Copy” to save it to your own Google Drive so the checkboxes and formulas will work, or download it as an Excel file.

Hopefully this helps new shooters pick their first Production or Base Class rig.
