    re-crowning for those on the fence

    Re: re-crowning for those on the fence REALLY. A new crown can't hurt. It will either improve or stay the same. The pictures show how I did it, not how others should do it. I have a lathe and I put it to use. The jaws were more than able to hold that barrel in there. You should see the...

    re-crowning for those on the fence

    I recrowned my barrel today. I know, I know, most of you will ask why. The answer is simple. I was starting to lose faith in my factory crown. It looked fine a while back, but I never really truly looked at it real close or from straight on. I always figured it was good because my groups...

    What optic do you use and why?

    Re: What optic do you use and why? Hawke Tac 30 20X half mil. Nice adjustments. Adjustable rings. Good to 300 yards with cci SV. I am using it as an inch reticule on ~16x. Each dash is 2 inches @100 yards. MUCH better than mils. I am hoping to get a nightforce someday.

    My daughter shooting

    Re: My daughter shooting Has she been shooting your scout lately? I noticed she likes to rack the bolt like she is used to a magazine feed. I have not tried my 5 year old on irons but he is killer with a scope.

    Good 22 bolt rifle for around 400 bucks?

    Re: Good 22 bolt rifle for around 400 bucks? CZ all the way. I was going to buy a savage, but boy am I glad I bought a CZ! Mine can also hold MOA to 200+ yards.

    Re: CZ oversized / "tactical" bolt handle / knob - DIY I like it. Nice to know I am not the only one who favors JB WELD.

    Ruger Rimfire Challange

    Re: Ruger Rimfire Challange It does not matter what your equipment is for the local silhouette shoots. Everybody has 5 shots per seat and there are four seats in a round. High score wins.

    Max magnification for hunting

    Re: Max magnification for hunting I started out with 3-9 and realized I needed more, so I bought a 4-16 and thought I was set. Now I use 8.5-25 and that is about right. The other option for me was 6-20, but the 8.5-25 blew it out of the water. I have no problem using it from 10 yards to...

    Scope for my FV-SR to get out too 300-400 yards?

    Re: Scope for my FV-SR to get out too 300-400 yards? I use a Hawke 8.5-25 and it will hit 300 yards and hold 50 yard zero. I use adjustable rings and set the scope for bottom of travel +4 minutes. I don't remember for sure, but I think I was able to do 400 with holdover.

    Sfp for target shooting

    Re: Sfp for target shooting I originally wanted a FFP when I was looking for a scope. I ended up getting a Hawke SFP to save some money. I am now a dedicated SFP shooter since the reticule can be calibrated to whatever units you want by simply changing the power. You could calibrate it in...

    Best "affordable" 22 out there

    Re: Best "affordable" 22 out there I'll throw in another vote for the CZ 455. I have one and it is a shooter. I got mine for $395+tx. A semi auto lets you waste too much ammo without teaching you how to shoot. MOST of the time, a semi auto is a poor solution for bad shooting. You should...

    rings for a cz455 ?

    Re: rings for a cz455 ? I have been using weaver fully adjustable rings on mine with great results. I dial the scope down to my desired level so I have enough adjustment range left and then zero with the rings. Works like butter.

    .22 Bolt gun

    Re: .22 Bolt gun I am going to swing the other way and suggest a CZ. They are the best bang for the buck and never let you down. I have one so I might be a bit biased.
