Re: Favorite cartridge for competition? I'm going to try out a 7.62x54R rifle in a competition next month, assuming I get her back from the smith in time to get some load testing done. I have a 300 WinMag, but some competitions don't allow magnums. Jim

Re: Vintage Sniper Rifle Match at Quantico, VA I have a Vz-54/91 which shoots 7.62x54R. A surplused Czech sniper rifle. And I live 20 minutes away. If I bring PPU ammo, would they have a problem with it or what? Are they worried about steel core ammo? Jim

Re: The precision rifle, ca. 1874 I've been meaning to get one of those for about the past five years. Between the divorce and the 3-gun equipment purchases, then the two long range rigs I bought in the past 6 months, I may just have to get one this year. That right there is a nice rifle...

Re: My Czech sniper rifle There's a whole industry out there for restoration of former military rifles. Except mine. There were so few made, and even fewer brought here, that finding parts is rough. I talked to a guy with a complete one, the adjustable recoil pad assembly on his does not...

Sorry about the crappy phone pics and the foot. Vz54/91, some parts missing, I'm looking to restore her. Jim

Re: Barrel for a 6.8 I got a complete SPR upper from Bison Armory, built the lower myself. With a Timney trigger, A2 stock, and a 12x scope, I got consistent 3/4" groups at 200 yards with it. I switched scope when the 12x crapped out, and got a Nikon M223 in 2-8x, and can consistently hit a...

Re: What type of rifle would you want for urban/sub? For an urban environment, I think a Keltec Sub2K with 31 round Glock mags would be ideal. How many shots are going to be over 50 yards? Plus it folds up and fits into a backpack. Jim

Re: Bipod and other parts Anybody? Does anyone here have another one of these rifles? Jim

I mentioned in another thread I got a Vz54/91 from Allan's Armory. These rifles originally came with a bipod, and adjustable butt pad, and a scope setup. I'm looking for the bipod and adjustable butt pad. I have another scope setup in mind. Anyone have a line on these? I don't read Czech...

Re: 7.62X54R Match Ammo I bought http://www.allans-armory.com/aapictures.php?ItemId=200603CZ , he's shipping her to my FFL tomorrow. Is Hornady offering that ammo through commercial companies yet? Jim

Re: Reloading 7mm-08 Are you not getting the kind of accuracy you want with the Accubonds? I've run them through another caliber/system, they're a little skinnier than they should be and work better out of a dirty bore. Jim

Re: How the Remington 700 actually stacks up The big thing is lock time, which is the amount of time between when the sear breaks and the firing pin actually hits the primer. The faster the lock time, the less likely the rifle will move off of the target. Jim

Re: How many on Hide use their precision rifle for... For those of you who use your precision rigs, are you humping your rifle out or are you taking motorized transport? I may head to Texas at some point and would like to use my Sendero in an actual sendero. For local hunting, hiking up a...

Re: Remington 700 for Precision Rifle Classes - I have only owned three bolt guns, all of them Rem 700s. The two I own now are a 700 CDL in 7mm-08 and a Sendero II in 300 WinMag. When I'm on my A game, and I have the right hand load, I shoot one hole groups with the CDL at 100 yards. It's...
