    Best aftermarket Howa 1500 trigger?

    I've had Timneys on a couple of Howa 1500 & Mini actions; they're ok, but honestly, I'd just as soon clip a coil on the HACT trigger spring and stick with it. That's what I've done on all five of the Mini custom builds of my own, and I'm happy with them. Maybe if you're in business doing gun...

    Aero Precision Bolt Gun Teaser (Now newly announced SABR thread)

    There's no provision for adjusting the mag latch on the PTG Stealth DBM, though I have milled the latch shorter when needed in the past. I did use some B-O M5 DBMs before moving to the PTG units, and have several Hawkins DBMs. I know B-O used to sell longer latches if you needed them, but don't...

    Anyone with a Brand New Voodoo 360 Have a question

    My Three-60 has a s/n range of T11XX, doesn't have the lug cut, and runs perfectly. The only 3-lug Vudoo I own with the lug cut is the 2nd V22S I bought a year or so after getting the 1st V22S, and it's set up as a smallbore prone rifle, so IF the cut makes for more effective ejection, it's all...

    Aero Precision Bolt Gun Teaser (Now newly announced SABR thread)

    No, I haven't. I've used AICS & Accurate Mag copies of the AICS in all my short action rifles over the years. Since you mentioned it, I'm wondering if anyone with a SOLUS has tried AW mags in their rifle yet? I've never had an action cut for the AW mags before, so don't own any of them. Only...

    Aero Precision Bolt Gun Teaser (Now newly announced SABR thread)

    I bought a couple of the SOLUS actions while SHOT was still going on; I logged them into my bound book on 1/27/23, and the S/N range on both is in the 999XXX range. The ejector plunger faces on mine are nicely radiused, as opposed to the slightly pointed profile mentioned above. I was hoping...

    Best trigger for Vudoo 360?

    I've gone with TT Diamonds on all three of the V22 & Three-60 rifles I shoot in matches; never had an issue with any of them.

    Rifle Scopes Sightron SVIII 5-40x56 ED

    Wonder how the SVIII series compares to the SV #27008, which is a SFP 10-50x60 scope with 34mm tube? I bought one of these scopes to replace a Sightron SIII 8-32x56 on a BAT 3L LR BR rifle in 6 Dasher that I shoot in BR Varmint Silhouette matches, at regular hi-power silhouette distances of from...

    Bell & Carlson Remington 700 Target/ Comp Stock Any Good?

    I've had these same stocks on rifles from 22RF up to 7mm-08 Improved 30*, never had a problem with them. I've also got similar stocks from McMillan & Manners, so I have a good deal of experience with big-name stocks that cost about 3x as much as the B&C. One of the things I really like about the...

    Bell and Carlson stock - going from allen key to thumb screws?

    After clicking on the link to the model of stock you have, I understand your issue now. I had one of those stocks several years ago, and yes, the tapered bushing method of locking the cheekpiece height is different than their newer stocks. But I sold that stock probably 10yrs ago, and don't...

    DeLane Development Group Rimfire Ventures

    Yes, it is irritating, but I suppose it's to be expected, with all the chatter on ammo preferences online. Just a few years ago - in 2016 - before all the Vudoo, Zermatt, & other precision 22RF rifles became available, and NRL22 & other competitions got going, it was pretty easy to find...

    Think I'm going to take the Vudoo plunge - what barrel profile?

    Jeez-o-pete! All this talk of heavy barrels - my V22 repeaters weigh 13-13.5lbs, with 21"-23" bbls in contours no heavier than Rem sendero, in Manners PRS1T stocks, with no frickin' weights attached. Balance isn't as important to me as building a rifle I can pick up and carry to the firing line...

    DeLane Development Group Rimfire Ventures

    I can totally relate to the ergonomics of shooting benches. The concrete tops of the benches at our club were poured in forms with square, sharp corners, and with concrete mixed with rather coarse sand. I have to put a couple of old bath towels on the rear portion of the bench and/or wear a...

    The suppressor is going to have an effect on group size, whether it's negative (most likely) or positive, when you hang something off the muzzle, it's going to have an effect on the harmonics of a barrel. I stopped shooting matches with either of my suppressors on 22RF precision rifles because...

    DeLane Dev Grp V-22S Single Shot Support

    Did you re-shape the chisel firing pin before you started experiencing FTFs? Though I went through a lot of spring swapping & pin adjustments on my 1st V22S - and still have an occasional FTF - the 2nd action I purchased came equipped with the chisel tip, and I've had very few FTFs with it, and...

    Winchester 52C Sporting rifle - price & options in 1956

    No doubt Winchester was always capable of building beautiful rifles & shotguns - a visit to the Buffalo Bill Cody museum in Cody, Wyoming would be an eye-opener to anyone who doubts that. I have a very small collection of antique Winchester lever action & single shot rifles from the late 1880s...

    CZ 457

    My 1st 457 was an American, purchased in 2017, because I'd always liked the 452 American, and really liked the classy-looking 457 sporter stock. Though I wanted a Varmint MTR, they just trickled into the country, a few at a time, and it took me several months of looking before I finally snagged...

    DeLane Dev Grp V-22S Single Shot Support

    This issue was an area of much discussion when the V22S single shot actions came out over a year ago, and I feel it was covered pretty thoroughly in the 'how to' videos posted on VGW's website. The fact that VGW sent out each of the single shot actions with five striker springs of varying...

    Fast Twist- where are we?

    The main reason I haven't fitted & chambered my Bartlein 1-9tw is because I've heard more negative reports of accuracy (relative to what a good 1-16tw bbl produces) at 50-150yds with 1-9s, as opposed to what a good 1-12 bbl will produce at those same distances. And even though I have my own...

    Fast Twist- where are we?

    Mike, I ordered in a Bartlein 1-9tw sendero blank, then put off getting started on fitting & chambering it after hearing some good reports from guys shooting 1-11tw IBI bbls. I do wish they weren't so far behind, or that I could get Krieger to do a faster twist 22RF blank - something in the 1-11...
