I have owned two 15-22s. I got the original model when they first came out and later upgraded to the Performance Center model. Runs like a clock. It's scoped with a Redfield which I sent to Leupold for parallax adjustment to 50 yards. I have not really tried to get much accuracy out of it...

I find most of my ammo deals on ammoseek.com

I have owned a +2 308 AR for many years. I bought the barrel from ADCO. They offered a 24 inch +2 Pac Nor barrel for the AR10B models when Armalite was the only game in town. I also recall that Hollinger (WOA) experimented with extended gas systems for the AR platform. This was10+ years ago and...

The Dicks in Gaithersburg Maryland had boxes of FED American Eagle for $2.50/40rnd box yesterday. Three box limit too. But a 40 round box instead of the old standard 50 round box seems like a rip-off to me. I guess they treat you Texans a little better.

Assuming that the existing 22 manufacturers are pumping out as many rounds as possible, it seems to me that more rounds are being produced than fired. So there will come a time when the hoarders reach capacity and prices come back down. I recognize this is a guess but since the shelves at the...

A couple of thoughts for your consideration: Would a 15-22 performance center model work? They are a bit more expensive but I think they have what you need. I have one and really like it. On the 10/22 side - have you looked at the 50th anniversary model of the 10/22? I think it has the...

Yes the thread is ancient but I think Greg provided the best advice and it's worth repeating today.

I worked for a tree company during summers during my college years. Dangerous stuff. You can never really predict what a tree will do since none of them are exactly the same. I saw some chain saw and tree fall accidents that were pretty serious. A few years after I left they had a fatal...

Personally I have watched the trend of shorter and shorter barrels on 308 rifle platforms and I think some people are going too short because it's the trendy thing to do these days. Unless you reload, your 308 ammo will be optimized for something longer than 20 inches. Even if you do reload a...

Which model trigger did you use? FWIW when I upgraded my AR10 I selected this trigger. Hi-Speed National Match - Match Rifle Trigger "The Geissele Hi-Speed Service Rifle Trigger is designed for NRA High Power Service Rifle competition. It is an approved trigger for use in CMP sanctioned...

RCPD34 I'm not sure if the 2 inch forward mount is too much. But I think there is another consideration for you. Ring height. First let me make sure I understand what you want to do because if my assumption is incorrect my input won't have any value to you. I think you want to be able...

Gents - I know a guy who recently bought a Remington 700 AAC-SD. .308 tactical and a used Leupold Mark 4 PR 4.5-14x40 scope. He does not plan to modify the rifle so while it's an accurate factory rifle it's not at the quality/cost level of many SH members. He's very cost conscious but willing...

As someone who has owned and modified several 10-22s I would lean towards the Kidd barrels for most applications. Also if you want a better trigger than factory (and you will) the Kidd trigger is a top quality replacement. Welcome to Kidd Innovative Design - Why Be Average? (830) 557-KIDD(5433)
