    Remington golden bullet

    There was a time not that long ago when Federal ultra-match (the one with the dimple) was the best Olympic ammo in the world. Sadly, Federal and other USA mfg's have lost the will to compete on the world stage and have ceded that role to the Euro's. Even the Russians who at one point were as...

    6X5 Thread V5.0 *new 1/1/21*

    You should shoot and post some. The 17's do shoot good and are accurate but none of the available ammo is true match grade so it makes printing 30 great shots in a row really tough to do. In addition those tiny bores foul with copper really quickly further degrading your accuracy potential...

    NRL22 Virgin busted

    Steve, I remember when you got your Fortner action a few years ago. Nice rifle. I love annies. I am well past my prime physically which is hard to admit since I used to be such an athlete. And I agree that our time is too short and we must make the most of it. Littlepod, I used a 6-24x FFP...

    CZ 457

    I like Boyds stocks in general and have shot against a number of 457's in AT-1 stocks and they performed well. I decided to spend the extra to get the VPT in the Manners stock. Having shot it some now, the lack of adjustable cheek riser has not been an issue for me. If you used a much larger...

    NRL22 Virgin busted

    Well I shot my 1st actual NRL22 match this weekend. It was challenging and great fun and parts of it were very difficult for an old man. Some tiny steel tgts. I really struggled on some of the stages that required getting into odd positions to shoot from. The scope I used was a new one that...

    Vudoo, CZ, Bergara, and Kidd go head to head

    nakoa01 - You are my hero. I am impressed with your rimfire collection. What part of KY are you in? I am in the Eastern end. I thought I had a rimfire addiction. Now I can just point to you and call it normal. Nice write-up too. My rimfire allure began about 8yr ago when I bought an old...

    Remington 541-T any good

    The Remington series of 541 (repeater) and 540 (single shot) rifles are some of the most accurate Remington rimfires ever produced. The 541S sporter is prized by squirrel hunters and the 541T is a great match rifle. They are plagued by plastic mags that can warp if subjected to solvents or hot...

    AND.... Another 'special' cartridge that will fall into the niche category with limited supply/mfg. coverage... The Browning 6.8 Western.

    My brother explained it all above. The only wildcat/oddball cartridges I have that are not on his list are the 270 Win and the 17wsm/17hmr/17M2. I guess I was not focused on bunny hunting when I made my selections, lol. Carry on lads... Irish

    Bergara or VuDoo

    Bergara B14 vs VuDoo V22? This is like comparing a nice Toyota sports car to a Corvette. I do not own a VuDoo but I will. I do shoot against them a lot and have a high respect for them. Decision is likely gonna hinge on what you want to do with it. I shoot a lot of ARA BR matches just...

    Rifle Scopes The Arken Optics Thread (merged)

    Thank You JymB. Can you see the lighted cross in the center when turned up to 10 max brightness and with the scope set to 6x on a cloudy day? Or is it only visible during the twilight hours or in the shadows of deep woods? I would appreciate the observations of other owners too. I have the...

    Rifle Scopes The Arken Optics Thread (merged)

    Arken SH4 FFP VPR MIL - Asking current owners of this scope to let us know how bright your illuminated reticle is when set on max illumination? I know that only the center cross lights but mine is so dim that even on max power it cannot be seen at all in overcast daylight when set to 6x. If I...

    Take a friend shooting and share your toys

    I took a friend to the range a few hours before our weekly BR fun shoot to help him zero the scope on his new/used Savage MkII tacticool rifle. The scope was running out of up adjustment so I had him remove it so we could shim the rings and lo and behold it had three shims under the front...

    Anybody still shoot Anschutz? Help me get a feel for what this is worth today.

    Please post a few pics of the items, action and trigger. I have seen Kenyon triggers for Win 52's go for $500 because for years nobody but Kenyon and Canjar made a decent 52 trigger. Those days are over as John Langley can make a laser cut 52 trigger that is adjustable down to feather weight...

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    I shoot ARA a lot and that unlimited card is way tough and those scores are very respectable anywhere for any rifle. In fact, the 2020 ARA unlimited outdoor national champion aggregate score over the full season was only 2289.4068. So your buddy could be national champ. For reference if you...

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    Nice rig. I have been shooting big boy air rifles for a few years now. I have a springer and a PCP which is a 22 cal Benjamin Maurader. It shoots good and out to 35y it is pretty close to one hole groups all the time from a bench on a calm day. I don't shoot indoors but I would expect it to...

    CZ 457

    TeeBird, whose cheekpiece riser did you use on the 457 VPT? Is it plastic or leather? I just picked up one of these but the lack of an adjustable cheekpiece is the only thing missing. It is by far the best looking stock in the 457 lineup.

    Impact of cold on rimfire ammo

    Interesting topic and one I was just telling a friend about. I shoot a lot of benchrest especially in the winter because my range has a range with the benches indoors and heated and we fire through portholes in plexiglass windows to outdoor tgts. We shoot at night and illuminate the targets so...

    6X5 Thread V5.0 *new 1/1/21*

    Just Chuck, I like the look of your Bergara. Nice rifle. Bisquits I have seen wind cause small and large vertical POI variance (both up and down) even at short ranges such as 50y on 22lr before. My home range has a covered firing line and a 2nd building to the West. We shoot to the North and...
