    Fieldcraft This guy can get a fire going!

    Re: This guy can get a fire going! A lot of scouts can get a fire going but forget to collect bigger wood and then scramble to get wood while the fire dies...this guy took care of business first.

    Rimfire scope help..

    Re: Rimfire scope help.. I have a Hawke and it works well. They are well built and have good glass. 60+MOA of elevation and windage. I have the tac 30 20x half mil. I use it as an MOA reticule at 16.2x. Each tick is 2 moa at that power.

    Hunting & Fishing Your longest kill...

    Re: Your longest kill... A grackle at 191 yards with my CZ 455 American in 22LR. Dropped him with the first shot. His buddy got lucky and only lost a few chest feathers.

    birthday at the range

    I took my wife to the range today since it was my birthday. She had her 10/22 and I had my 455. We had fun and managed to stay dry thanks to the nice pavilion over the firing line. The wind was cold though....BRRR. There were about a dozen people there shooting, so it was loud, but we all had...

    cz 455 ?

    Re: cz 455 ? I have had mine for a year. They are great rifles. Mine will hold MOA or better with good ammo. Get s good scope on one and do some long range shooting. I don't have a 452, but I would say they are on par with one another. I bought mine after looking at savages. I was not...

    10-22 Light Varmint or CZ 455 American?

    Re: 10-22 Light Varmint or CZ 455 American? I have a 455 and my wife has a modified 10/22. Both will hold their own. My wife has over $600 into her 10/22 and I have about $450 into my CZ. This is without scopes of course. If you include the scopes, sling, and bipod, the 10/22 would be...

    Rifle Scopes A <2 lb optic that tracks as consistent as NF NXS

    Re: A <2 lb optic that tracks as consistent as NF NXS I have a Hawke that works great. I shoot rimfire to 300 yards and it tracks dead nuts. Great reticule. It is a Sidewinder Tac 30 with 20x half mil reticule 8.5-25x42 IR. 60+ minutes of range. I found that at about 16X the reticule...

    .17HMR or 22LR

    Re: .17HMR or 22LR I have seen and shot 1/2" groups at 200 yards with a 22lr. It is not an everyday event, but it can and does happen. Subsonic bullets have different properties than supersonic bullets. They don't have to cope with shock waves and are not traveling in a partial vacuum which...

    .17HMR or 22LR

    Re: .17HMR or 22LR Get the 22LR. It can perform miracles out past 200 yards if you know what you are doing and have a good rig. It is not unheard of to get 1/2 inch groups at 200 yards. Make a turret label and you will be making first round hits at 200+ yards.

    10/22 Barrel Length

    Re: 10/22 Barrel Length A longer barrel will make it quieter. Barrels in the range of 24-30 inches will be almost suppressor quiet with subsonic ammo. Add a can and it will be inaudible. Keep the barrel as long as you can....no pun intended.

    First time @ 200

    Re: First time @ 200 When you get a good lot number that allows you to hit 1" pebbles at will, you know the rifle is capable. I have used up my best lot number, but my current lot is not far behind.

    Reactive Rimfire Target Ideas?

    Re: Reactive Rimfire Target Ideas? If you can find a farmer with a bird problem, you can have a ball. I have found that tennis balls only work on flat dirt where you can see them. I like to shoot at small pebbles and dirt clods in fields. They are plentiful and they stretch as far as the...

    Bipods for 22s

    Re: Bipods for 22s I have a harris 9-13 and I find it a bit too tall. I am going to chop the legs a little and make it just right.

    First time @ 200

    Re: First time @ 200 Good shooting. I like the center section of the second target the best. That is what you can expect on a good day with good ammo. I have shot a few 1/2 inch groups at 200, but most are about 1-2 inches if I get a good lot number.

    Gear for Rimfire / Recommedations

    Re: Gear for Rimfire / Recommedations My wife has a 10/22 with an Adams and Bennett barrel in a Fajen stock, and it will shoot well under MOA. They do get poo-poo'd, but they can be very accurate. It takes some money, but it can be done. Just to give you an idea, she has about $600 stuck...

    How to pull a 17HMR bullet?

    Re: How to pull a 17HMR bullet? Try packing a few bullets in fiberglass and put the wad in a coffee can and heat the can. The fiberglass should catch the bullets and cases without damage. oil soak the primers, drill holes, and seat the bullets. You could always cut the front off like you...

    60 grain!?

    Re: 60 grain!? I saw a video somewhere of a rifle shooting 60 grain with suppressor. It was deathly quiet and the impact was loud. I would not want to be on the receiving end of that combo!

    what are your groups at 300yds?

    Re: what are your groups at 300yds? I have a hard time getting anything past 220. I did get a miracle hit at 295 once. Seems you have to get a $500 range finder to get past 300.
