    New 22 rifle - Searching the accuracy

    JJ1 - this is a lot to process and you are getting some great advice. 22lr accuracy is not magic. There is a process of minimizing all of the variables that are within your control. The speed and consistency of the ammo in one. For example: All Lapua ammo has a speed code. It is the first...

    Ohio NRL22 and PRS shooters.

    To the OP - I know that KY is at least a 2hr ride but the Ashland Gun Club in Rush, KY (Northeast KY) hosts a monthly non-sanctioned PRS rimfire match. Search for their Facebook page for details and schedule. I am not 100% sure but believe the next event is May 22 in the afternoon. I don't...

    Bergara or VuDoo

    My friend who has the VuDoo also had a problem with feeding from the mag and occasional misfire. He called VuDoo and they walked him thru the correct process for loading the mag and sent him a different firing pin spring which totally solved the problem. His had the ACE bbl and shoots on par...

    Any good source for used Anschutz or Walther (or similar) single shot match/target rifles?

    I would add another possible source could be to check with the coaches of any of your local college rifle teams. You might catch a student graduating who wants to sell their rifle. Agree that it is good to be able to shoot a rifle before you buy but in my experience it is rare to find a match...

    Tikka/Bergara/CZ?

    I have two annies. One is the old model 54 Super Match. It is a very heavy match rifle and is one of the most accurate rifles I own. I won't bore you with pics or stories of one hole groups. I also own a Annie model 1451 which is a cold war era sporter repeater on the old flobert action. It...

    Vudoo announcement?

    Well done MB & VGW. The three-60 looks like a nice addition to the product line. Keep up the good work. Still hoping for an ARA factory legal variant someday. Would be my goal to compete against the Tikka's and CZ's and Savages with a true USA made rifle again. I know its a tall order but...

    Super nice shooting. Clearly you have a good-un.

    Any good source for used Anschutz or Walther (or similar) single shot match/target rifles?

    Search the firearms auction houses such as CT Firearms Auction, Poulin or Invaluable. They have two Winchester 52's, a Stevens 416, and a Anschutz 54 Super Match for sale right now. As for deals? These fine match grade rifles will sell for their true market value. That said, I have purchased...

    Adjusting elevation vs holdover/under for NRL22

    With NRL22, I determine when and where to dial or holdover based entirely on the stage, target placement and the number of tgt locations. Dialing your dope is almost always more precise than attempting to hold over/under. But many times, there will be tgts at three, four or more distances and...

    Bergara vs. vudoo?

    VuDoo is not chambered for Lapua. The VuDoo uses a match chamber that is based upon the same chamber in the old Winchester 52D which is one of Mike Bush's favorite rifles. When he designed the VuDoo that was the chamber dimensions used as a starting point which he adjusted to optimize for...

    Bergara vs. vudoo?

    Disclaimer: I do not own, nor have I shot either the Bergara B14R or the VuDoo V22. So, most of the following is BS. Take it with a grain of salt. I mostly shoot BR matches but some PRS and NRL22 also. I regularly shoot against both B14R's and V22's. Both are capable 22's. From what I...

    Air supply for PCP guns. Tank vs compressor

    I use a tank and refill it at the local scuba shop. They are familiar with this since they also service the paintball and air-soft gamers. Cheap, fast and easy. One fill lasts a long time.

    Lapua lot testing and barrel wear question

    I agree with pretty much everything said by Hozzie. I have been a life long shooter, hunter and sometimes competitor. I hunted and plinked as a kid and never cleaned by iron sight 22 rifle. I thought it shot pretty good with the Remington HV ammo that I usually had. I did not know better at...

    CZ 457 MTR vs Varmint

    I assume you mean the ARA Rules for Factory rifle? Yes, they are on the ARA website under FAQ tab on item #11. You can download and read it. It says regarding CZ457 VPT (Manners Stock): Answer the following questions: 1. Is my rifle magazine or tube fed? a. YES… Go to question 2 b. NO… Your...

    Thinking of getting the CZ 457 Precision Trainer - Better training rifle for the money?

    Tikka, CZ VPT, B14R - all good and you would be happy with either. My choice was driven by ARA rules. I wanted a rifle that could compete in ARA factory class. The Tikka can but they do not allow stock mods or swaps and I did not fit the factory plastic stock well. The B14R is a nice rifle...

    CZ 457 MTR vs Varmint

    But the VPT does now qualify for ARA Factory class. The rules were modified right before xmas to include all CZ457's even though some of them exceed the $1000 price cap. Yes the IBS tgt is easy but it is what we play with at our club. I mostly use the USBS for my practice tgts. The ARA...

    Thinking of getting the CZ 457 Precision Trainer - Better training rifle for the money?

    I own the CZ457 VPT and a Sako Quad Lilja Tactical Custom that is fitted with a McMillan Stock and match Lilja bbl. They are both great rifles. Both shoot very well, but the Sako cost 2x what the CZ does and the difference between the two is very small. Both like SK/Lapua ammo. The Sako...

    CZ 457 MTR vs Varmint

    I have been shooting CZ's for a few years now. Hunting, plinking and in competitive BR matches. I started with a 452 American which was topped with a 4-16x optic to be used for squirrel shooting. We have a weekly 50y BR fun shoot at my club and I took it there to test its ability and was...

    Rimfire zero @ 50 yards... what magnification do you use?

    When shooting groups (6x5) or tgts for precision from prone or a bench I use the highest mag possible on the given optic. That said, as long as you can clearly see to aim precisely at the same place each shot, then the level of magnification does not matter. The rifle does not know what optic...

    Why Suppress a 22 Rifle?

    Cat on a stick at the local Asian restaurant is one of my favs. I might be a contrarian here. For this discussion, I am going to ignore handguns. I would use a suppressed 22 rifle to hunt with since it makes it harder to find my position and is less likely to scare away the other squirrels or...
