    Most consistently accurate 10/22 barrel?

    Re: Most consistently accurate 10/22 barrel? Here's my Kidd Super Grade in a McMillan STC stock. In my opinion, it is about as accurate as you can get in a semi auto. I shoot rimfire bechrest against a bunch of Win. 52s, 40X, Anshutz and Kimber bolt guns and some of them are more accurate and...

    single shot vs. repeater, re-sale value?????

    As always, I value all your opinons here on the HIDE. I'm toying with the idea of selling my Chris Mathews built Longshotrifles LLC, 7mmWSM. It is built on a Stiller Predator action, etc. I had it built as an F-Class Open and longrange hunting rifle. I'm not shooting in F-Class anymore...

    Rifle Scopes NXS 5.5x22 vs 8x32

    Re: NXS 5.5x22 vs 8x32 If long range is the ONLY type shooting, then by all means go with the 8-32X. I have one on my 7mmWSM and it is the best choice for LONG range. The 22X is great also but on those days where it is cloudy, cool re: no mirage, the 32X is great to have. You can always dial...

    How often do you clean your gun?

    Re: How often do you clean your gun? I'm anal, clean with wipeout after every session. Only during hunting season will I leave it "dirty"

    What exactly is a Templar action?

    Looking in to ordering a GAP "Non Typical." Is the Templar action machined by George's guys, is it a Remington action with a Templar logo, or is it made for G.A.P. by a third party? Thanks

    Re: 2 GAP rifles.... think they are keepers :-) Looks like a hell of a hunting rifle, I emailed them with some questions, might be one in my future? I guess I could order it now and hope to get it by next season.

    .45 ACP..need help from ya'll

    I haven't reloaded .45 ACP in about 40 years, yes, I'm an old fart. Today while helping brother in law break in his new Gold Cup (shoots like a freakin rifle) I noticed the factory loads we were shooting had diferent size primers. As I stared in disbelief, I thought it was some major...

    Sako 85 varmint- good choice?

    Re: Sako 85 varmint- good choice? ALSO, if you stray from .223 and .308, you will have to shoot in F-Class Open, not "tactical Rifle, TR" You will be going against a whole new enemy, basically heavier rifles and calibers. You will see some fine 6.5X.284, 7mmWSM, 300 WSM, all the way to big...

    Kidd Supergrade ammo test update

    Re: Kidd Supergrade ammo test update Yes, they shoot about the same. Really, the high dollar lapua is best in the true match grade bolt guns, hi end Anzhutz, Suhls, etc. It's cool when I'm shooting on 20X I can see the bullets hit the group. I will have the same hold and the bullet just goes...

    Re: Best Copper Remover? On a custom match barrell...Wipeout. Everything else...50 BMG. All the high end customs, Broughton, Brux, Bartlein, Krieger, etc once broken in should not copper much if any. On my 7mmWSM, Broughton, I put a little finger cot (looks like a tiny condom) over the...

    Remington 700 Build Quality

    Re: Remington 700 Build Quality I too feel Remington, in an effort to stay ahead of the other rifle companies, has come up with some blunders, re' "triangle" barrels??? Watching some of the new 700's at the range, they just don't seem to shoot well. The LTR's seem okay my old PSS was always...

    Kidd Supergrade ammo test update

    Shot in a benchrest match this morning. After, I spent some time shooting groups with a couple brands of ammo. Top 2 rows are SK Match Rifle, row 3 and 4 were Eley yellow box. All were at 50 yards, 5 shot groups except the big one with the flyer, it was 15 rounds. Everytime I shoot this rifle...
