    Christensen Arms Ranger 22

    I like the way they feel but my club runs a BR match for factory repeaters and the CA was just not competitive in that event. CZ, Tikka rule that roost and not much else. High end guns like VuDoo, Anschutz fall into a higher category.

    .17 mach 2

    I have been able to obtain Hornady, CCI and Eley branded ammo. The Eley is older production but still shoots as good or better than the others. I hunt with the Eley and practice with the others.

    Dead Air Mask vs TBAC Takedown?

    Just to add to this discussion, any weight hung on the end of the bbl is going to affect harmonics and accuracy. Possibly make it better but more likely making it worse. While the can did not hurt accuracy as much as I expected, the rifle did shoot a little better without it. This was on a new...

    Dead Air Mask vs TBAC Takedown?

    You will be happy with either. I got the DA Mask HD with the titanium body. I am 100% happy with it. Very easy to clean. Impact on accuracy is minimal. On the one rifle I checked this on, the POI did shift down to the left perhaps 1/4” at 100y but was not noticeable at 50y. Note, If I am...

    Savage A17 .17 Mach 2 suppressed

    Thank you. That was my expectation as well.

    Savage A17 .17 Mach 2 suppressed

    I can tell a huge difference in the report between true subsonic and slightly supersonic 22lr ammo when shot suppressed. When shot unsuppressed, they sound the same to my ears. Is the suppressed Mach 2 really that quiet? I would expect not. Just asking. My Savage mkii in 17 Mach 2 is one of my...

    A real stinker of a plinker

    I have four Savages and they are all good rifles. Only one is the 93R model but it is one of the most accurate. A couple of questions: Which stock do you have? The black plastic base model stocks are very flimsy and prone to flex at the forearm allowing it to contact the bbl and affect...

    New to rim fire, couple questions

    You will like your Arken. I have four of them. Two SH4's in 6-24x MIL are on my 22 trainers/PRS rifles, and one EP5 5-25x MIL is on my CF precision rifle. I zero the 22's at 50y and can dial for bullet drop out past 400y range. Can see hits at 300y. All of these are priced under $500 ea...

    A new entry - AWT's 22-Tango

    I did shoot some really nice 22lr tgt rifles in college but I was in the 18-20yr old range and my brain was not fully developed to be able to comprehend the gravity of owning & shooting a rifle. It may have also been marinated in alcohol and was thus unable to retain many of the blurry details...

    A new entry - AWT's 22-Tango

    He used to build some killer 10/22's with Walther bull barrels threaded into the receiver all set into a nice stock and trigger. I never owned one but played with a few of them. To that point, I had never seen or shot a true accurate 22 rifle. I thought that 1" at 50y was great, lol.

    A new entry - AWT's 22-Tango

    You are correct. I need to spend some quality time playing with trigger adjustment, and action screw torque values to see about milking a little more out of it. Don is not new to gunsmithing or precision shooting. He is also not new to rimfire having been building 22lr's for close to 30yrs...

    Who here has a swimming pool

    What he said. I had a nice one with all the bells and whistles. They are fun in the early season and great place to entertain friends but,... Plan to spend every Saturday morning cleaning the pool, every morning of the summer checking the chemicals and systems. Spend $2-4 hundred per month on...

    A new entry - AWT's 22-Tango

    Took the 22Tango to the 400y range for some long range fun after cleaning a little carbon ring out of the chamber lead last week. I set up a 50y USBR card at 50y to test a few more lots of ammo first. I loaded 10rds of SK std+ and the first group was 1" at 50y. The second group was 1/2" at...

    McMillian A5-22

    I have a Sako Quad in a McMillan A5. While my bbl are in 22lr and 17mach2 the mags and magwell are large enough to fit the magnum as well. Here is a bad pic of it when we were shooting out to 400y. If you search my posts there are a few better shots here and there.

    A new entry - AWT's 22-Tango

    Couple new pics. Tried some RWS which it liked and several lots of Lapua. Seems to like the slower loads. Also added the bipod and sling.

    Custom Remington 541S ?

    Glad you are finding time to get to the range. The collector value may have been ruined but the rifle was only made better. As for value, if you ever want your money back, I would happily give it a home or trade you a pristine vintage Winchester model 75. While not the equivalent of some great...

    what do you think of AK?

    You make a couple of good points worth expanding: 1. AK isn't as reliable as you've been led to believe - Making generalizations like this is just wrong. First, I have not been "led" to believe anything. I have been using and abusing AK's and AR's for more than 30yrs. None of mine ever...

    Rimfire Squirrel Hunting Journal

    Here is the old Win model 69A repeater equipped with a vintage late model Unertl 4x. It is a deadly squack sniper when loaded with the Eley HP hunting ammo.
