I shoot my 10/22 at 25 to 50 yards most of the time. When i shoot a .22LR at 100 or 200 yards, I use a Savage bolt action Mark 11 with a bull barrel - a lot more accurate than the Ruger. The 10/22 is a fun plinker though.

Either a Chinese knockoff or you very lucky. Gander is expense, but they do screw things up from time to time. You got an incredible deal - you are one lucky dog.

I have a 110 BA chamber in .338 LM - been shooting it for several years. Easy to shoot, little recoil, and accurate. A 300 Win Mag is not too much gun. And you can learn all the fundamental at 100 yards. I believe the throat on the 300 WM will burn out sooner than some non magnum rounds like...

I own several Nightforce scope and have used US Optics. I think the Nightforce might be built a little tougher. But if you are shooting long range and competition, I would recommend a lot more magnification than 15 or 17 power. That might be OK for hunting but not for long range or competition.

The best answer is to buy one of each and then test them. How practical is that?

Considering all the foreign aid we give to Israel - we probably paid for the R&D on this gun and should get a great discount. I think its a limited application trendy gun that has gotten too much publicity. I would be concerned with long term reliability and replacement parts.

I have an LAR 8 and it is surprisingly very accurate for a moderately priced weapon. It's a sub minute gun in the right hands. I believe I posted a video on this forum years ago showing some of my targets. It does use Fal mags but be careful. I bought some Fal mags from a gun show and could...

Been using the 175 SMK for 1k shots, but have to try those AMAXs. Good shooting.

Good job. Looks like you were having fun.

When I am at a range that requires eye protection, I wear glasses. But when I shoot, I raise them and place them on my forehead. Why? Because I have not found a pair of glasses that I can shoot well with. I shoot better without them. Of course this is probably not smart. I now have some...

Re: 308 Barrel length Someone once asked Abraham Lincoln how long should a man's legs be? He replied, long enough to touch the ground. I think the same applies to barrel length. What are you going to do with the gun? The barrel should be long enough to accomplish that.

Re: School me on 338LM Factory Ammo Hornady brass sticks in the Savage 110 BA - from my experience and others. It is believed that the Hornady is too soft and the Savage chamber is very tight. But it does stick and causes a very difficult bolt lift.

Re: savage 110 fcp .338 lapua stuck cases It is not the gun its Hornady. It is absolutely the Hornady brass. I have a Sav 110 BA and have shot Black Hills, Lapua, Federal, Hornady, etc. The only rounds that caused a sticky bolt were the Hornady. I also occasionally shoot with other guys with...
