    Beginners steps to making a rifle more accurate

    Thank you very much! After my last range trip I did check the torque on all my screws and corrected the few that were under or overtorqued. I do have a .22 I practice with (a plain jane 10/22 that I'm about to rebarrel and stock). My groups are not horrible, my best with it so far was smaller...

    Beginners steps to making a rifle more accurate

    Actually that thread is what got me thinking about it. I realized I wouldn't know enough to distinguish b.s. from fact when picking a smith. I do handload, yes.

    Beginners steps to making a rifle more accurate

    The savage stock is an accustock- so, pretty much tupperware. The 700 has a pretty rigid fiberglass stock. I guess my question is along the lines of what is a "well smithed" barrel? What is done differently? and what could a layman do to improve?

    Which state is the most conducive to long range shooting?

    All of these places sound ideal to me. I wish I didn't have 2 years left to finish the degree I went back for; unfortunately it's that degree that will likely make the move possible.

    Beginners steps to making a rifle more accurate

    I have read these forums for years and have learned a lot by osmosis; however, I still don't know exactly what makes some rifles more accurate than others. I know about the concepts of bedding and such, and harmonics, and understand them in principal; but not in practice. What steps can someone...

    Which state is the most conducive to long range shooting?

    Not there yet. But the dream/goal is a full section of land. If I get there... well, that remains to be seen. I would certainly hope I could find a section that would accommodate a 1200+ yard range.

    Mother stops home invasion with "Assault Rifle"

    Shouldn't it be an anti-assault rifle in this case? I'm very glad she was able to defend her family so well.

    Which state is the most conducive to long range shooting?

    Follow-up to this question: How many acres for a 1.2K yard range? Assuming proper backstop (hill/mountain/50ft berm) and rural with no regulations? I can do the math, but 1+1 doesn't seem to always equal 2 in implementation.

    Which state is the most conducive to long range shooting?

    All the suggestions are great, though it's unfortunate so few states actually meet the criteria.

    Which state is the most conducive to long range shooting?

    Lack of land? I thought that MT had tons of BLM and public land for hunting/recreational shooting?

    Which state is the most conducive to long range shooting?

    I agree, so definitely no hijacking. When I said lasting snow what I meant was lasting through winter. I'd like real "winter" from about Nov-Dec to March-April. And I prefer trees and mountains as well.

    Which state is the most conducive to long range shooting?

    I have only been to Arizona once (Phoenix in the summer). I picture all of it as desert, though I have heard the Flagstaff area gets more snow than anywhere. Are there green (as in trees) areas of AZ/NV?

    Which state is the most conducive to long range shooting?

    I've lived in the Midwest before. Not a fan of the heat.

    Which state is the most conducive to long range shooting?

    What don't you like about it? This is of course all academic for me right now, there are so many factors that go into where to move. But I figured for this part of the equation this was the best place to ask :)

    Which state is the most conducive to long range shooting?

    How about Maine or New Hampshire? Montana and Wyoming look pretty but very desolate. I want to live in rural areas, but it'd be nice to have cities nearby as well.

    Which state is the most conducive to long range shooting?

    What is it about Wyoming (or Montana) that has you preferring Wyoming?

    Which state is the most conducive to long range shooting?

    I was thinking the other day about where I would want to move to when I am ready to move. I want to move somewhere that gets REAL winters (think snow sustained on the ground for long periods), has lots of land for sale at reasonable prices (would love to have my own 1200yd range on a few hundred...

    I guess I should follow-up on this question. What would I gain by spending 2x the money on a Spuhr besides a level?
