    That is very encouraging for the overall quality of the action Frank. I am sure you and your team know how to make a rifle shoot! Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    CZ455 zero range and ammo selection

    Yep. Highly repeatable clicks or a great reticle with lots of stadia makes reaching out a lot more fun. Where you zero almost doesn't matter with good stadia and / or repeatable clicks. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Initial impressions range report. The action is slick and cool. Though I occasionally find myself pulling a dead trigger because it hasn't loaded itself like all the rest of my 10/22. :/ The trigger is... amazing. More a button than a trigger. Factory barrel would not extract reliably...

    Man. Might be more of a project than I thought. Any advice on getting the shims and head space correct? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Ha! How does one even make an out of round chamber? How does one check for this? Overall are you happy with your setup now woogie? How does it shoot? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Hunting & Fishing Talk to me about squirrels

    Air rifles like the Diana are perfect for the backyard. I used a falcon for years. It worked quite well in the field as well. Mr zick, you may have pointed out one of my errors. I've often worked ridge/hill tops, not the lower sections of hills. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Yeah. I fully admit I'm hanging a good bit of expectation on a barrel change. If it doesnt hang with my green mountain barreled 10/22 I'll be a bit bummed. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    I will be picking one up from my ffl this weekend. I have a feddersen barrel waiting on it. I've not shot a feddersen before, but they seem to consistently print well. And with the toggle action, the suppressor should keep standard velocity ammo to a light pop. Any experience and thoughts on...

    Hunting & Fishing Talk to me about squirrels

    Yep! On my last outing I took one with a ~50yd head shot. My hiking buddy thought I was nuts to take the shot. But we enjoyed some tasty fire roasted squirrel legs that night. What is the ideal habit in the south east? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Hunting & Fishing Talk to me about squirrels

    Over this spring and summer I plan to scout out some better squirrel woods. I live in central KY and only really have access to national forest land. Primarily the daniel boon. What are the types of terrain and areas squirrel trend to prefer? Ridges? Bottoms? Creeks? Near open area? Thanks...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Scopes

    I went back to my air gun field target roots and looked up the A Team parallax elimination process. Seems to have worked. The 1/10 Mil wobble is gone. Work was done in the back yard, so I haven't had a chance to shoot it again yet. Guide reference below...

    I picked that disc off an old plough a few years ago so I could have some thing huge and thin to ring at 300. It's so rewarding! When the breeze is still, it's to easy to hit. With wind, man, it's hard! I need to chrony some ammo. And shim my base. And get out! This weekend failed me. Sent...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Scopes

    I've experienced slight parallax issues with my talos btr 4-14. On every scope I've owned with parallax adjustment I've been able to totally dial out the parallax. The range marking may have been very wrong, but the parallax was gone. I can't seem to 'weld' these cross hairs to the target. The...

    10/22 at 200yd

    I would be very pleased with consistent 2 MOA at 200 yd! Unless the weather is a total bust here this weekend, I plan to spend some more time at this. Try more ammo. Probably come in a bit closer and limit some variables. On the click test I ran I was dialing 4 mils at a time. The reticle...

    10/22 at 200yd

    That's some great shooting! I need to spend a lot more time at that range and get the wind dialed in more. Probably need some more consistent ammo to. Time to dust off the chrony.

    Put the new athlon 4-14 on my trusty 10/22 for an opportunity to put the glass through its paces and spend some time at 200yd with the 22. Zeroed up at 25 yds with ease. Though it became aparent the clicks weren't true 1/10 Mil. I ran a few click drills, 4 mils left and right. Then up and...

    10.5 - 12.5 SBR Barrel Selection

    Hogtooth, what barrel do you have? Slow, I just plugged some educated guesses into Shooter and it looks like a bullet in the 60 grain area will have the best trajectory. Thoughts, experience? The 55s seem to drop off just as quickly as the 77s. The DD 11.5 - 12.5 CFH is becoming very...

    10.5 - 12.5 SBR Barrel Selection

    I expect to use quality ammo. And I will probably develop a 69-77 grain load for use beyond 300. I have an 11.5 pistol right now, Del-Ton 1:9 with an 11" Samson rail. I like the setup, but accuracy seems pretty average. Bcm standard barrels fit right in the price range. Are the saber tubes...

    10.5 - 12.5 SBR Barrel Selection

    I am beginning the process of putting together my first SBR. The more I work on this project the more I realize I want this rifle to be just as accurate as my 16" and 18". I am interested in recommendations for a short barrel that is capable of MOA at 300 yds. Does this barrel exist for mid...
