    .22LR Target Shooting

    Re: .22LR Target Shooting The rifle is only 1/4 of the reason for the groups I get a more politically correct "occasionally". Ammo, weather and me are the other variables. Any make of rifle with a decent barrel capable of the same. Shoot 500 rounds a week and you can be good too. lol...

    .22LR Target Shooting

    Re: .22LR Target Shooting I have a Savage Mark II TR with a Tasco 6-24x42mm and get .600 often at 100 yards with Wolf Match Target ammo. My trigger breaks at 2.75lbs. I use good bags on a solid rest. The scope is mediocre but off the bench it works great and at 50 yards and 24x it's hard...

    Re: Do I need an MOA base? Thanks guys. Midway has the base for $59 but I'll go without it for now.

    Rifle Scopes Do I need an MOA base?

    I have a 223 Howa 1500 ordered and have a Nikon 4.5-14x40 SF Mil Dot scope that has 50 moa of adjustment. I plan on shooting 50gr or 55gr BT's probably no further than 400 yards. My Nosler reloading book says I will get -26" to -30" drop at 400 yards with a 100 yard zero. Will the Nikon's...

    Re: Savage Model TRR-SR rifle review..... After looking at your pictures again I realize you have the semi auto version. Mine is the bolt action with an Accu Trigger. Apples and oranges. Anyway, I just use a Boresnake and or some weed wacker line with a melted ball on one end to hold a...

    Savage Model TRR-SR rifle review.....

    Re: Savage Model TRR-SR rifle review..... You got a great price! Probably due to the poor trigger. Mine is excellent and I get less than .400 at 100 yards with the Wolf MT. Work on the trigger and you will be amazed.

    Any reviews on the bushnell banner mil dot 40 mm?

    Re: Any reviews on the bushnell banner mil dot 40 mm? My Tasco 6-24x42mm is supposed to be made by Bushnell and is around $80. I would really like to compare it to the Banner as mine gets less sharp out past 18x. Turrets are repeatable and the AO works fine anyway. I'll see how it does...

    MKII TR-What to do?

    Re: MKII TR-What to do? Mine shoots .500 or less at 100 yards on calm days off SAND BAGS and it is STOCK except for a 1/8" bottom metal that allows me to torque the action screws to 20lbs. I use an inexpensive Tasco 6-24x42mm with AO and target turret knobs that works very well. Mine likes...

    cz452 tacticool stock question

    Re: cz452 tacticool stock question The wood (birch laminate) under the bottom plate on that stock that is pretty thin and 25lbs might have crushed it. 8-15lb should be enough. Pillar bedding is recommended if ya need a lot of torque.
