Re: When do you carry? BTW, took a break from up armoring the Ford to go get the mail. Didn't take my .22 and made it back, just barely. Figured you all would be worried. LK

Re: When do you carry? <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Wintermute</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> You seem to have made up your mind that carrying everyday is insane but that carrying when you anticipate going somewhere dangerous isn't. If you've...

Re: When do you carry? We're too funny taking a thread/question about "when do you carry" and turning it into a "if you don't have a gun within inches of your hand 27/7/365 you are a fool" thread. Doing it with zero rational and catch phrases like "you wear a seat belt don't you" which is a...

Re: When do you carry? OK, OK, I knew what I was getting into when I opened this thread. But dang some of these responses are way way over the top. Only made it thru page 1 and then jumped to page 6. Couldn't take much more. I'll play the part of the wacky loony here (note sarcasm). I have a...

Re: 10/22 Build help Keep your current gun and go from there. First things first, the factory trigger needs attention. I don't bother going any farther than a VQ target hammer and maybe an over travel screw but lots of guy's over at RFC are really liking the Hornet trigger groups priced at...

Re: Best and worst (for fun) Best is subject and I've not sampled nearly enough to work on that list so I'll stick with worst. Hands down the first centerfire I bought......A Bryco 9mm. Straight blowback, kicked like mule and couldn't keep shots on a 2x2' peice of plywood at 25 yards. Bought...

Re: ruger 10/22 500 budget Stock: I'm not feeling any love for the factory carbine stock here. While I'll agree it's a shame in factory configeration adding some wood here, some bondo there, some sanding, butt pad and some paint results in a very cheap yet effective sporter style. Cheap and...

Re: .22 Pistol Recommendation - Poll I could of very easily voted Ruger on this one but I was so fond of the MKII's that the MKIII's just don't work for me. I do like the 1911 grip panels on new 22/45 but that's about it and they are costing as much as the standard's, so much for a budget...

Re: Scope Ideas for ruger 10/22 For the OP's stated use a variable with a starting power above 2.5x (most 2-7x scopes actually bottom out @ 2.5) is not needed and can actually be a hindrance. Same should be said for AO. IMO, the Redfield 2-7x and Weaver 2-7x are tough to beat for about...

Re: Introduction and Needing Build Ideas? I've never been a believer in pressure pads either and have lived by the mantra "free float everything. But I tried free floating this gun and groups went from 1/2" at 25 to 1 1/2"- 2". Just way too much slop in the pinned barrel of this old...

Re: Introduction and Needing Build Ideas? Thanks for the replies and no worries on the redundancies. You don't know me from Adam. So far on the Glenfield 25 I've cut and crowned the barrel (now 18"), paint obviously, replaced the trigger spring, tried some impromptu bedding and currently...

First post here and in advance I offer a big thanks. I've been a shooter/hunter for the better part of 3 decades, mostly predators and WT deer. Years ago I got a the idea that LR shooting would be fun but to be honest it never really went any farther than that. About as far as it got was the...
