    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    Decided to buy my 1st rifle a present this week. I was 12 when I bought this new, it's over 50 now, so I mounted a new scope & tried it out this morning. Not sure about the flyer, but I think it may have been me. Remington Nylon 10, single shot, about 1962. I was worried about spending so much...

    Mk2 FV-SR

    Russ, the varminter stock is a better fit for me than the tacticool (aside from the horrible name). There's a good cheek weld with my scope/ring setup and the length of pull is OK for my frame, so it works well enough for me. I did pillar bed the stock using some hardware store 1/2" nylon...

    Mk2 FV-SR

    With the new stock & targets at 50 yards. 5 shot groups are beginning to work. So far the Aguila SE & CCI SV are the best I've used. Still don't have any "premium" ammo in the stash to try (Ely, Lapua), but I don't want to spoil it with the good stuff. Thinking I can do a bit better than I have...

    Here's the Savage MK2 wearing a Boyds' Varminter stock. I've tried something a bit different for the bedding this time. Used nylon pillars and "floated" the barrel & action so the only contact is now with the two pillars, through the action screws. Picture shows a small gap at the side with...

    Glass suggestions for savage mark II BTV

    The Nikon P-22 is a good scope for about $150. Mine is just a 2x7, but it is bright & clear, adjusts well and is fine out to about 100 yards. If you're doing general shooting this one is fine. If you want a target model with high magnification, look for something with more power and a bigger...

    Mk2 FV-SR

    I had contacted Rhineland arms after reading about their problems with delivery times & other stuff. They did respond promptly, but were not able to quote a "meaningful" time frame for delivery, so I'm hoping the Boyds has enough height for my needs. It looks to be tall enough with the rather...

    Mk2 FV-SR

    Went ahead with the bolt polish this evening. It helped a bit with the cocking, opening and general smoothing of things. One caution for those who decide to do it, make sure you have magnetic fingers or a completely white room to work in, when you push the "E" clip off the shaft. Yep, I was...

    Mk2 FV-SR

    Thanks for the input. I've ordered a Boyds thumb-hole varminter, which should arrive in a few days. Also on order is the DIP bottom metal. Still need to send for screws, but I plan on a pillar bed, bolt polish and a bit more time in working things out until I have it finished. Appreciate the...

    Mk2 FV-SR

    I picked up the Savage at the end of last week, mounted a scope and made a trip to the range with a few different types of ammo to see how it shoots. I did a couple of drops of blue loctite on the scope base, prior to mounting the scope. Put on a Nikon 2x7 P22 scope & medium rings. Not too...

    rhineland arms / troop systems shady business

    It sounds like the safest way to do business with these people is to make sure they have inventory prior to placing an order. With their (lack of) communication skills, I would be hard pressed to spend my $ on a stock which takes too long to ship. Taking the money for an item prior to shipping...

    Howdy

    If someone could explain why this showed up for me today, but I posted it yesterday, I would be obliged. Is there a mandatory lag associated with newbies which I'm not aware of? I deleted content in the other post, but at this point I'm completely confused about the post(s) and seeing it show up...

    Howdy

    OK, second attempt at a post, not sure what happened to the first one, so if they both show up, please bear with me. I joined this afternoon after lurking a bit. It looks like a nice community & I'm looking forward to learning more about shooting & accuracy. I've been shooting since I was young...
