    My Rimfire Tactical Trainer

    Re: My Rimfire Tactical Trainer Building them is fun, but it just doesn't match up with shooting them. I quickly dialed in the scope the other day when I took my son to the indoor range to shoot his new 10/22. My gun club has been shut down for almost 2 years and I am hoping they will get...

    My Rimfire Tactical Trainer

    Re: My Rimfire Tactical Trainer This is the rifle that I am trying to "train" for. Although the stocks are not identical, the grip angle and adjustable cheekpiece are the same. The bolt knob is similar. The safety and mag release are similar. (This picture does not show the new bottom...

    My Rimfire Tactical Trainer

    I found a used Marlin 2000 on GunBroker less sights. The original Marlin 2000's were single shots with a target stock that has an adjustable buttplate. There is a "biathalon kit" which is a replacement Anschutz rail with a cut out and release button for a standard Marlin rimfire magazine that...

    Sage, Troy or JAE?

    I'm coming into the market for a modern chassis to fit my National Match Springfield M1A. I am looking for comments on the three main choices, Sage, Troy and JAE. I will be using the M1A for sniper matches and target shooting and have no LE or MIL needs for it. I would especially like info on...

    Movie Theater Escanaba In Da Moonlight

    Re: Escanaba In Da Moonlight My mom's from the UP. Have relatives up there in Manistique still. Northern Wi. (where I hunt) is not too different, especially considering they share a 250 mile border. November deer camp is a special place. Escanaba in do moomlight is one of my favorite deer...

    Any 260 semi auto guys here?

    Anyone have pictures of a Rem 700 with B&C A2

    Re: Anyone have pictures of a Rem 700 with B&C A2 Here's mine. Factory VS cut down to 20". Shoots way better than a factory barrel should shoot. Mag box extension, larger bolt handle and Karsten's cheekpiece added. Jim See's (www.centershotrifles.com) level one accuracy package makes...

    New Large Frame .260 Build Finally Done

    Re: New Large Frame .260 Build Finally Done As soon as I get the first rounds down range, I will file a report here. Going to do barrel break in with Sierra 120 MK's as that's what I have laying around that didn't cost an arm and a leg like the Scirocco's or the Triple Shocks. This JP tube...

    New Large Frame .260 Build Finally Done

    Re: New Large Frame .260 Build Finally Done A forward assist is almost useless on a gun used for long range hunting and shooting instead of "tactical" or military operations. Over 15 years of shooting thousands and thousands of rounds in my AR's in civilian matches and stuff, I never used...

    Super Budget Remington 700?

    Re: Super Budget Remington 700? I dont' have too much more than $1000 in this thing. I got the base rifle for $475 new on GunBroker. Stock was $225. Cut off and recrown barrel, glass bed, add tactical bolt knob, and add Karsten cheekpiece about $300. I know that doesn't include glass...

    New Large Frame .260 Build Finally Done

    DPMS bcg, upper and lower. 26" Krieger. Geisselle DMR trigger. JP float tube and adjustable gas block. The JP tube is the same diameter as the small frame tube because of a special barrel nut they use on it. I like it better than a larger diameter tube. Magpul PRM buttstock. Leupold Mark...

    Target Peeps?

    Re: Target Peeps? Had the kids out this week with four .22's. Two were Savage Mark II's one with a 2x-7x rimfire scope and one with a rear leaf/front post. One Marlin 2000 with its stock aperture and front disc. The last was my 541-S with a 4x-16x that I use for silhouette. I figure that...
