    Ruger 10/22 accuracy issue

    Re: Ruger 10/22 accuracy issue Not a dumb thought at all. We do get some wind here in KS. I have, however, shot this rifle at 2 different ranges with the same result and both days were as near to dead calm as we ever see around here.

    Ruger 10/22 accuracy issue

    Re: Ruger 10/22 accuracy issue Ammo is definitely on my list of possibilities. I picked up a box of Wolf Match Extra to see if that will make any difference. I have also been giving the barrel a serious bath. I removed the barrel from the receiver so I could clean from the breach. The...

    Ruger 10/22 accuracy issue

    I have a Ruger 10/22 factory action and target barrel which is currently in a Bell and Carlson stock with a Volquartsen trigger group. Action is bedded. This rifle has always been very accurate, but recently something has changed. Rifle will still print 1/2" groups at 50 yds, but at 100 yds...

    Rifle Scopes Question about the Vortex Viper Riflescope

    Re: Question about the Vortex Viper Riflescope I also have the Mil-dot version and have no real complaints. Eye relief could be a little longer, but the performance of the scope itself has been good.

    Gunsmithing Remington 770 Ejector/Spring

    One of my employees has a Remington 770 with a broken ejector and spring. I have been looking on line trying to find the parts for him, but I am not having any luck. From my research the 770 is essentially the same as the 710. My question is does the 710/770 use the same ejector and spring as...

    Rifle Scopes NF NP-R1 or NP-R2???

    Re: NF NP-R1 or NP-R2??? I have the NP-R1 on my 5.5X22X50 and like it a lot. I have not found it to be "too busy". For me it made the most sense based on my particular needs/wants. I do not think I would have been as happy with the NP-R2.

    Re: Think I Found The One I Want (finally) I have one but with the 50mm objective. I have not had any problems with mine. I think it is a good scope for the money.

    Rifle Scopes Which Rings are the best bang for the buck

    Re: Which Rings are the best bang for the buck Another vote for Seekins here. As for aluminum vs. steel, that depends on the type of aluminum and the type of steel used. Seekins are aluminum, but they are made out of 7075 aluminum which has twice the tensile strength of the 6061 (or...

    Rifle Scopes Millett LRS-1

    Re: Millett LRS-1 I had one of these. The experience involved 4 warranty returns to Bushnell. I would not recommend the LRS-1. If you are looking for something in a similar price range, try the Vortex Viper 6.5X20. I have one of these and have had no problems.

    Rifle Scopes Rings that don't chew up your scope

    Re: Rings that don't chew up your scope My Seekins rings have left no marks. In addition to being quality rings, mine are always torqued with a torque wrench.

    Rifle Scopes What the hell kind of reticle is this?

    Re: What the hell kind of reticle is this? I believe the intent of the stadia is to estimate range based on the average width of a man's shoulders. Idea being that you would bracket the target's shoulders and estimate the range based on which level they fit into. I have no idea what range...

    marlin x7

    Re: marlin x7 I have one in 308 sitting in my safe. I may eventually put a McGowen barrel on it and turn it into a 243. The stock on these rifles is poor. Very soft. Boyd's does now offer aftermarket stocks however. Trigger gaurd is plastic and will eventually break. Mine has a real...

    Help with price

    Re: Help with price What grade is it? Caliber? What are the scope features? Zero stop and/or High Speed turrets? Price seems quite high.

    Rifle Scopes Will this scope and rings work?

    Re: Will this scope and rings work? You will quite possibly need some sort of cheek piece or stock pack to get a proper cheek weld. An adjustable cheek piece is nice, but there are other options available to solve the problem. The cheek piece below is also an option. I am leaning this...

    Rifle Scopes Will this scope and rings work?

    Re: Will this scope and rings work? This combination is not going to work. Keep in mind that the diameter in question is the outside diameter of the bell, not the objective diameter. I would expect that the outside dimeter on that scope is in the neighborhood of 2.8 inches (62mm). Ring...

    some torquing tools I can afford and use only once

    Re: some torquing tools I can afford and use only once The key is to shop for tools from tool stores, not gun stores: http://www.dpciwholesale.com/1-4-Drive-Click-Torque-Wrench.html $20.71ea and accomplishes the task required (assuming the operator properly sets the tool). Depending on the...

    Bell & Carlson A2 rear trigger screw

    Re: Bell & Carlson A2 rear trigger screw Walmart sells Loctite 2 part epoxy in a two tube syringe type arrangement. I have used this product for similar repairs on a B&C stock with good results. This product dries hard, but you need to do your fill in layers. I find it easier to fill holes...

    Rifle Scopes Low cost rings (Burris)

    Re: Low cost rings (Burris) I have a set of XTR's that are currently in use on my AR-15. They were originally on my 308, but when I upgraded my scope, I upgraded to Seekins rings and a Warne base. I have never had any sort of failure with my XTR's and for the price would probably...
