    Upgraded T1X or stock Bergara B-14R

    It is hard to beat a CZ 457 Varmint for what you get. I set one up last week for a friend. All it takes is a simple spring change to get a crisp 9 oz trigger. His rifle is not very ammo sensitive. It shoots most flavors of SK well. It also likes CCI SV. It shoots sub moa at 100 yds easily. $585...

    Bergara B14R questions

    I have been shooting a steel barrel B14R for over a year. Our .22 Sniper Match only goes out to 200 yds, with the closest array at 50 yds. I run a 20 moa rail with one .010" steel shim in the rear. The 6.5-20 x 50 Vortex Viper works just fine. Great eye box. I installed a 6oz Shilen trigger...

    DIP 455 25moa rail question

    Remember to drop a small lead bird shot pellet into each hole if you are concerned about marking your receiver with the set screws.

    Advice on a h&r m12 heavy barrel

    The best buy in a scope is the Vortex Viper 6.5-20 x 44. They can be had for $309 shipped. I have six of them. I had a H&R 12 that I bought at the big CMP sale a couple of years ago. It looked brand new. Best $225 I ever spent. You can get the trigger below 1 lb if you know how. The match I run...

    I'm desiring a .22lr that I don't think exists on the market right now… Thoughts?

    A 10/22 is the 1911 of rifles. Lots of stuff for them. Most of the aforementioned Remingtons have awful, non adjustable triggers. Guess it all depends on what you consider a good trigger to be. One of my 10/22s has a 3oz/3oz Kidd two stage. It is worth every penny of it's $290 cost. OTOH I just...

    Where are you finding .22 Match?

    I have several "honey holes" that I use. All have plenty of Eley, Lapua, SK and the non- EPS bullet Eley. You have to develop a relationship with them. Buying one brick at a time does not allow you to join the "club". I typically buy 1/2 to full case lots. I bought a case of SK Standard Plus a...

    64 mpr!

    I use a .22 rod. Much stiffer than a .20. I used a Lot of good grouping ammo and started at 12 in/lb and went up. Do not go above 20 in/lb with your stock. I bedded mine. OTOH none of my other Anschutz are bedded. The 54 action rifles have a more robust receiver area. My 1407 is set at 4 N/M and...

    64 mpr!

    Rimfire cleaning is one of the most hotly debated subjects on the internet. I don't use a bore guide. I use a Tipton carbon fiber rod with patches and an all bronze brush - Pro-Shot. I keep going back to Hoppes #9. I have tried most of the fancy/high dollar liquids and have found they don't do...

    64 mpr!

    Mark, you made the right choice. No CZ will shoot with an Anschutz. I had a 64 MPR. A friend really needed a precision rifle so I sold it to him for a good price. The MPR has a wonderful two stage trigger. Mine was set to 3 oz. IMO there is no better scope than the Vortex 6.5-20. I have six of...

    The NIGHTFORCE 2014 Steel City Precision Rifle Challenge- Birmingham, AL

    I know the guys that put this match on and can say they are all first class folks. I would shoot it but am a little too old and busted up.

    Precision Rimfire Matches

    Here's the one I run. We added a Bipod Class recently. Max rifle weight with bipod is 10 lbs. Must be magazine fed. Bolt or auto OK. Wind is not your friend. Brock's Gap Training Center, Hoover, Alabama - 22 Sniper Match

    Accuracy of bolt vs. semi-autos

    I have a very accurate Kidd barreled 10/22. That being said I find it to be more difficult to shoot than any of my Anschutz bolt rifles. Our match is shot prone with two piece rests or bipods. Steel targets from 50 yds out to 200 yds. It all depends on how serious you want to be. You can get a...

    Another CZ 455 project complete

    If I recall correctly Lilja taper laps their barrels. I know the one I installed in my Anschutz is. The taper is at the muzzle end. Hmmmm
