    Rifle Scopes Is a nightforce nxs 12-42x56 overkill?

    Re: Is a nightforce nxs 12-42x56 overkill? I have couple of 12-42NF BR. Like Bowman, I thought more power was better. I sometimes shoot with a fellow who hits steel at 1000+ with @ 6X. It is overkill for a .223, unless you are target shooting. Even varmint shooting, 16X is plenty. It's...

    New remington 5R

    Re: New remington 5R Congrats on the rem 5R. I just got one in .223. Shoots great, after 30+ rounds to get it broken in. The factory X mark trigger is GREAT- once you take 2 simple steps. 1. order a spring from this man. http://erniethegunsmith.com/catalog/i181.html $9.00 or so...

    Rem 700 LA- best size for 6.5X284 repeater build?

    I am collecting parts for a 6.5 X 284 build, and assumed that a long action (Rem 700 vs short) is best. I have a single shot - OAL for cartridge in this rifle is 3.055" ( 139 Lapua Scenar ). Just got a Surgeon DBM / LA for build & seems like ALOT of room in the mag. ( made for 300 Win Mag)...

    Re: Being a idiot thanks for the heads up, bet there are more who have had close calls. I know I have. Like today with my 10" sliding compound mitre saw - no blood tho- after using one for 30+ years. Glad you are not hurt worse.

    How Accurate should my Kimber .22 be?

    Re: How Accurate should my Kimber .22 be? My suggestion is to buy 4-8 types of ammo/ brands & try em. then you'lI have a better idea of what is possible...I have been shooting a fair amount of .22 in 4-5 rifles & pistols, and they all have a preference. The expensive stuff is the best...

    Old Lady has a NEOS

    Re: Old Lady has a NEOS FM, your wife is making her own targets and shooting in 6 deg weather? Are you sure you are with the living or have you gone on to your reward? My wife will only shoot a .22 pistol. You are onto a good thing. Get her more ammo.

    .17 HMR or .22 Magnum and which rifle?

    Re: .17 HMR or .22 Magnum and which rifle? Get a 22 mag! 30-50g bullet -a huge range is available. , Try CCI 30 Speer HP for more zip & yes , a 50g .22 mag can fill your deer tag. I shoot my 22 mag w/ can. Lots of fun & the report does not even sound like a rifle 100 yds. away. Never...

    Re: which 22 mag ammo? OK, late to this but like the 22 mag ( it's a great cartridge out to 125 yds) & hope to help. Have a Volquartsen semi auto 22 mag, Kimber /Oregon bolt mod 82 22 mag, & Sako quad /Lilja bbl 22 mag. All accurate. Best ammo for all is 1. Hornady 30 g vmax , 2. Rem 33...
