Re: Weighing Federal auto match About a year ago I bought a box of the automatch and had some strange results. I probably should have weighed the batch but never got to it. The issue I had was that one out of twenty or so seemed to be lightly loaded and of course the accuracy was way off...

Re: Browning T-Bolt .17 HMR range report Holy crap...that stainless looks awesome. They didn't have that model when I ordered mine. Oh, and it shoots pretty good too.

Re: BROWNING T-bolt scope base options? Try the Warne steel bases. The screw pattern is the same as Anshutz rifles. I ended up using the Warnes instead of the ones from Browning. Haven't found any one piece base yet.

Re: 10/22 stocks: Rhineland vs B&C vs T-Rex vs TIG I've got a B&C and Rhineland Arms. The B&C needs the barrel channel sanded down and a nice bedding to make it pretty solid. I put my 10/22 without sanding or bedding and it shot like crap. Once it was floated, it did much better and I...

Re: Did anyone else buy a Leopard 10/22 stock I just realized you're in WA. If you want to take a look and take it for a test run before you buy, just shoot me a message.

Re: Did anyone else buy a Leopard 10/22 stock 1. I've got a 20 inch bull barrel in mine and it is definitely barrel heavy. It seemed to balance better in my Bell and Carlson tactical. But that's to be expected. The Leopard stock is fairly light. A shorter barrel or one with flutes would...

Re: Did anyone else buy a Leopard 10/22 stock Yeah, I ordered one when they first released them and waited a couple weeks for it to ship. When it got here the inletting was totally wrong and the mags would not fit. I sent it back and they were going to re-run it and turn it back around to...

Re: Age and Education 30 with BS in Microbiology and Genetic Biology. Trying to unlearn everything I learned in class in order to make it in the real world.

Re: Difference in Federal Bulk Box Color I've had some success and some failure with Auto-match. The first box I bought had terrible flyers with my 10/22. So bad that you would know it was a flyer because it felt like a light load. I wrote Federal an e-mail and they had me ship back the...

Re: Weighed some Wolf Match Target .22 ammo I like your idea El Kabong. Your testing method has merit. Only problem might be my rifle. I've still got a whole bunch of the stuff weighed out. As soon as I pick up a decent bolt action, I'll try it again with your method. Or when I get...

Re: Weighed some Wolf Match Target .22 ammo The rifle is a Ruger 10/22 with a Whistle Pig 20" barrel. The stock has been widened for the .920 barrel and a quick bed job that included the first inch of the barrel. Everything else on the rifle is stock. I think there is some merit to...

Re: Weighed some Wolf Match Target .22 ammo So I managed to go to the range today in between the looming clouds. Wind was hit and miss and thus my shots were hit and miss. I'm betting I could have more consistent results if the weather wasn't acting up. Without further ado - the results in...

So it turns out my 10/22 with a Whistle Pig barrel really seems to like Wolf Match Target (I'm too cheap for Match Extra). Groups out to 100 yards were within an inch and an odd flyer or two. In my neurotic obsession to polish a turd, I decided to go with the free approach to increase...

Re: Accurizing a 10/22 ewww...that sucks. Instead of cutting and leaving a metal plug, could you try and unscrew it from the stock? That way you can just get the the stud without the sling mount and screw it back in with a dab of wood glue or bedding compound.
