    Protabkle Shooting Bench for kids

    I know you wanted premade but without spend major money on the Stukey bench everything else is kinda rickety. Shooting bench plans I am very happy with it. I bought the leg brackets ready made on Ebay ~ $50 deliveered Heavy, but very stable

    should a 22lr bullet be pushed into the lands ?

    The bullet being engraved by the lands after ejecting an unfired round is one thing, not being able to extract an unfired round without shooting becase the bullet is stuffed into the lands is something else altogether, and the fine line between the two can change substancually between different...

    Trigger "Kit" for Ruger 77/22 and Kimber 82 Government

    I have used Jard and Spec-tech triggers in a 77/22. I also have tried the Voltguarson adjustable sear. One Jard is great, one Jard could not be adjusted without creep and overtravel. The Spec-tech is adjustable for weight, enguagement, and overtravel, and works well. The new Spec-tech apears...

    PDT Partical Dampened Tuner - Range Report

    SA imported Brazilian Imbel FAL uses a 9/16"x24 LH threads for the muzzle SCD. Putting a tuner on that "match grade" barrel still ain't gonna make it a "match" rifle. Spend that money on ammo and just enjoy shooting that sledge hammer, throwing money at it is never going to make it a precision...

    Longevity of 22LR Barrels

    I think it is pretty hard to shoot one out, and relatively easy to cause significant damage from overzelious cleaning.

    Any 22 WRF fans?

    My first real pistol was a Colt Police Positive in 22 WRF (age 12) It was kinda hard on 22 Short cartridges, it would balloon and split the case on firing. (I didn't know what the WRF meant ) The revolver went from a double action to a single action after my first real gunsmithin action job...

    What .22 zero

    Ah-so We use the 8 steel swinger 2" to 1/4" at 50 yds and a 9 steel swinger 5" to 1" at 100 for KYL...... Very convenient but the swingres are held on 1/4" hangers so just because the 1/4" pin spins it does not mean you didn't hit high.

    Nrl22 cof question

    More importantly, can you use the chair to rest or brace your body on? I found that position building in weird places the most important thing, the targets are not hard to hit, but the positions and gyrations and time constraints are what make it challenging.

    22 shilloute shoot out

    With good ammo, a 1.5moa rifle, practice, good enviormental conditions, biped prone, with no time constraints you should be able to hit all 3"-9" at 150 yards. (3"@150yards =2moa) In the wind offhand with the sun in your eyes big box ammo a cheap scope and bad dope you might be hard pressed to...

    22 shilloute shoot out

    All at one distance descending in size from easy to almost impossible like a kyl. No shoot targets in front of intended targets to create hostage situations. Put individual targets at the distances that make them all subtended the same arc, ~1.5 to 2.0 moa

    What .22 zero

    I think the question should be "how far away do you check your zero at?", not "what datum do you use on your scopes adjustment?" As long as your dope is good it does not matter where zero is. It is more important to check your mechanical zero at a distance that is close enough to not worry...

    What .22 zero

    I meant because the 1/4" target has a 1/4" hanger your elevation zero can be off substantially and it will still spin the target. (Using a steel spinner kyl set, not a paper kyl target)
