    Rimfire Comp targets...

    Re: Rimfire Comp targets... Well, that could very well be. I just read the sizes listed at the bottom... Ok, I'll stick to shooting the little fellers (if it ever stops raining). Thanks !

    Rimfire Comp targets...

    Does anybody else have problems getting the targets to print to the right size? I have been shooting the Tac 50 target and finally decided to measure my circles... the 3/4 group challenge was barely over 1/2" - that's when printed on my printer at 100% If I print them then copy them at 120%...

    APRIL 2012 SH SHORT RANGE RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS

    Re: APRIL 2012 SH SHORT RANGE RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS I know it won't count, and I'm good with that - BUT I snuck out today and bought another box of CCI Subsonics to try again. HUGE difference, which surprises me because the Standard Velocity didn't shoot THAT much worse when I originally...

    Marlin problems

    Re: Marlin problems I think Norcal Phoenix might be on to something. I took my Marlin XT (the skinny barreled version) out of the action to adjust the trigger, and it shot worse after I put it back together. It will at times chew a ragged hole for 5-7 rounds, then throw two or three a...

    APRIL 2012 SH SHORT RANGE RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS

    Re: APRIL 2012 SH SHORT RANGE RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS In the interest of full disclosure, here goes. I have a lot of work to do still on ammo selection and setting up this Marlin XT - and I was out of the subsonic that it seems to like best... but I squeezed in two attempts at the Tac 50 this...

    Advanced Marksmanship crazy shots!!!! lets hear about them...

    Re: crazy shots!!!! lets hear about them... I was shooting one of my agency's 308s at 110 yds one afternoon when a bumble bee kept hovering over one of the yellow and black target dots on my target. I started tracking him, hoping to shoot him "on the move" but he kept changing directions and...

    Rezeroing target knobs on Centerpoint scope...

    Re: Rezeroing target knobs on Centerpoint scope... Ok, here you can see the small slotted screw on both turrets between the #5 and #6. There is also a small slotted screw in the threads for the scope caps - beneath the 6 on the left, and the 3 on the right. There is another on each turret...

    Rezeroing target knobs on Centerpoint scope...

    Re: Rezeroing target knobs on Centerpoint scope... Yea I was afraid you might say that... Standby You realize that I am working off a dinosaur of a laptop my son gave me when he went to Afghanistan the first time back in 2005

    Rezeroing target knobs on Centerpoint scope...

    Help, Top Predator? Anybody who has a Centerpoint scope? My owners manual says, "The windage and elevation adjustment knobs have a unique, resetting screw design. A hex wrench is provided with the scope for adjustment". Well, ok the wrench is provided... but there is no spot on the knobs...

    New Marlin XT-22R

    Re: New Marlin XT-22R Thanks TP - That should help. I picked up a 4-16X Centerpoint and yesterday played around with it briefly after shooting my issued 308. The best group I shot with CCI Subsonics was 1 1/4" at 110 yds. This was prone w/ rear bag. My other two groups were in the 2"+...

    New Marlin XT-22R

    Re: New Marlin XT-22R Ok let's see if this works... http://www.flickr.com/photos/76731002@N07/7034503767/ This is probably the best grouping - shot with CCI subsonics (the two shots on the right side are from a different group) I need to figure out how to embed a photo, I'm not doing...

    New Marlin XT-22R

    Re: New Marlin XT-22R I can't get a photo to show up in my post. I tried following the directions in the FAQs but no joy... I'm sure I screwed it up, because I wouldn't know a URL from a Yeti - but I inserted what the alleged link to my photo is between [image] and [image] and it just shows...

    New Marlin XT-22R

    Ok so I chumped out and went the cheap route instead of picking up the heavy barreled 10/22 or the CZ. I bought a Marlin XT-22R over the Savage Mark IIF because I like the slightly thicker barrel profile (at least it looks that way to me, I haven't mic'd them) and I kind of wanted to see if...

    10-22 Light Varmint or CZ 455 American?

    Re: 10-22 Light Varmint or CZ 455 American? I had a 10/22 and played around with modifying it <span style="font-style: italic">a little</span>.. wasn't happy either, but it had a regular barrel then a Butler Creek carbon fiber barrel (I know, not exactly "quality" stuff). It shot ok but not...
