Not loving the Geissele SSA, maybe I'm the problem...?
A little thread drift... what would be the trigger recommendation for precision / varmint 6ARC type rifle? I have experience on the G-SSA. And while I'm quite used to two-stage, I can do single stage in precision rifles.- smithjd

Feedback Requested - Battlehawk Armory
I ordered a case of ammo from them a few months back. Price was good, not great (but it was available by the case). And I received it no problem. I too was suspicious, but N=1 sample was good.- smithjd

A question for those with families in bear country
We lived in deep forest black bear country. A neighbor down the road would hand feed them (nuckin futz). Had a sow in her teens that would drop 3-4 Cubs every couple years. She charged me once when we accidentally bumped into each other while I was out running. She had two little fur balls...- smithjd

Overcomplicating Things
It’s nothing new. Years ago Col Cooper called it “PII”; Preoccupation with Inconsequential Increments. On one hand, it is how world class achievements occur and higher standards are normalized. On the other hand, it’s pretty meaningless for the vast majority in whatever discipline it’s...- smithjd

Sako S20
Can you report the actual weight of the precision version? W/24” barrel? I’ve been researching and keep seeing different figures. Want to keep the whole thing under 12#…. Thanks- smithjd

A Better Barrel Vise Block (DIY)
A friend of mine goes even farther. He will fashion the block of wood as you described. But he then makes it perfectly fit the barrel by skimming a coat of Acra-glass on the wood, using release agent on the barrel. After it has dried and he cleans it all up, then he rosins up the now...- smithjd

Sidearms & Scatterguns Who have you used to do slide milling?
Mark Housel at L&M Precision Gun works is one of the best ever. I’ve also had great service from Primary Machine. I don’t think I’d hesitate to use Parker Mountain Machine either. I’ve had good luck with small parts they have made.- smithjd

Watch this Video or Else !
Good stuff! I totally agree that shooting precision .22 is as much fun shooting as I’ve had in a long time. Chipmunks in my AO did not agree.- smithjd

Sidearms & Scatterguns VP9 shooting right consistently
1) Grip. There are so many videos out there, but can't watch what you are doing and fix it. I've been shooting a pistol for 35 years and only really learned how the grip works this summer (at a Jedlinski class). Basically, the support hand "drives" the gun. Too much firing hand can...- smithjd

Sidearms & Scatterguns VP9 shooting right consistently
1) Your Support hand is “being a bitch” and not doing its job. 2) Your trigger finger is not (just) bending at the second joint and your third (proximal) joint is moving the whole finger, which pushes the gun. Before you mess with sights, either have someone who knows how to shoot or shoot it...- smithjd
