    Ruger Precision 6.5 Creedmoor recommended bipod

    6-9 inches is good off a bench or prone. It’s my go to length. Brands, Harris for 100, atlas for 300. I dislike the magpul because it feels sloppy for target/precision stuff (excellent lightweight hunting bipod though) and I’ve never used a cykepod so I can’t comment. Lots of time behind...

    Wolf Match Extra, Eley-made vs Lapua-made

    The 10-12 year ago wolf extra shot better out of my guns than the current. It still shoots ok, but I’ve got some old pics from lol 09-10 from a case of wolf I bought that I can’t match with anything I’ve got now.

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    If you’re referring to mine, I have damn near Vudoo/rim-x money in it without the accuracy 🤦‍♂️😂. It’s a great shooting rifle, but if I’d known how far down the rabbit hole I was going, I would have just started with a Vudoo. The barrel was the biggest waste of all (lw barrel). The factory...

    You like that one better than the anarchy outdoors handle? I had their original straight on like 2 years ago. Then l tried this AA one and really like it.

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    Did another round of upgrades on the Tikka. Added an arca rail, 419 adapter, atlas cal bipod, got ride of the strike eagle in Leupold rings for a Cronus BTR in ARC rings. I’ll zero it in the morning and see what I think about the scope.

    Tikka T1X Broken Firing Pin Poll

    I haven’t kept a log in over a year but at that point it had 3500 rounds through it. With the shortages of good 22 ammo I haven’t shot it near as much in the last year, been playing with steel challenge pistols and bull ammo a lot more but still probably 5k total through mine. Bolt and receiver...

    Where to get ammo now post

    Mine arrived in 4-5 days, well packaged. Definitely a good site to order from.

    B14r , long range accuracy

    That’s impressive. I really need to try one of those. My T1X is pretty great out to 200 yards, same as my mostly Kidd 10/22. But 2moa is pretty damn difficult at 300 for me, mostly vertical. My range is well lined with trees on the 300 yard line and wind plays a factor but not as much as it...

    SOLD *TRADED* Nikon Black FX1000 6-24x50SF IL FX-Mrad (FFP) w/ Vortex Rings, $400

    Fantastic scope for their price. I had 2 of these in MOA that I paid full normal price for when they first came out. They were worth it then as well in my opinion, very bright/clear glass. I sold mine off when I finally switched everything to MIL. For 400 bucks with things, this is a screaming deal.

    Help. Should I buy a Cz 457 or Savage mark 2

    The T1X Is a smoking deal at 500 bucks, shoots lights out with a lot of different ammo with the factory BBL. and has aftermarket BBLS you can change yourself without issue. Mine is in a KRG Bravo chassis with a LW bbl and a strike eagle on top and I absolutely love it. Of course I also love...

    Suppressors Form 1 ATF Issues

    Um, you’re beyond impatient. It’s 8/25, they’ve had it 6 days and 2 of them were a weekend. Give it 4 weeks, leave them alone, receive your email telling you it’s approved, and drill/enjoy. If there is an issue, it will be rejected quickly, your 200 will be refunded to your card, and you...

    Tikka T1X

    Me too man; I honestly don’t think they’ll shrink much for the “best” groups, I’m hoping it develops more consistency and the overall average will come down. One thing I noticed immediately is how much smoother it feeds compared to the stock Barrel. The action has always been rough on this...

    Tikka T1X

    Finally got my last piece in place, LW 20.5” threaded barrel. We will see if it was worth the investment shortly. I had zero complaints about accuracy but I’m who doesn’t want to push it just a little further. Barrel is in the freezer right now and hopefully will be installed in another 30...

    Rifle Scopes Ring Height vs. Cheek Weld, Comfort, Fatigue etc...

    Contrary to the popular opinion of every Facebook operator out there... I’m the same way. I prefer my my rings higher than slammed on the barrel. I can get a much better cheek weld with the scope up in high or x-high rings depending on the brand. For me it’s about repeatability. I used to be an...
