    Rimfire Scope - $2500 Budget

    Some companies prefer not to use Expertvoice for various reasons. I know in the case of Nightforce, contact their govt sales directly through your .mil address and they will set you up. Leupold is another. They were on Expertvoice, but left and do it though their own site. Also, one of the...

    SBR b olt action in NY state??

    In hindsight, I agree. It was suggested more for the benefit of hearing what a sympathetic LEO thinks about the situation than a "would you arrest me?" question. I genuinely feel for y'all that live in areas that have not just restrictive laws, but layers of conflicting and hypocritical laws.

    SBR b olt action in NY state??

    I am sure you have read the NY state SAFE Act literature until you were cross-eyed, but it looks like you may be in the clear. In all of their stipulations and banned features, they failed to mention the NFA and specifically say "Any pump, lever, or bolt action rifle or shotgun cannot be an...

    1st POST- WANT TO BUILD / BUY AICS

    To the original poster, don't take this in a bad way, but your post is pretty cringe-worthy. Folks that have been around here for a while have spent a lot of time researching and observing and then documenting their findings and experiences. There are hundreds of threads regarding Accuracy...

    Upgraded T1X or stock Bergara B-14R

    This 👆 That was my intent with: Bergara barreled action Grayboe Ridgeback (on sale) TT Diamond Trigger (on sale) Kahles K525i (used, from the PX here) but after two years with the Bergara, the new plan will be building a RimX, keeping the Bergara, and apparently I also needed an Anschutz that...

    In Search of Kidd Supergrade (Older Version With Barrel Threaded Into Receiver)

    Your best route would be hang around RimfireCentral, that is the largest congregation of 10/22 and specifically Kidd that I know. Personally, I trust anything Tony does to the 10/22 platform. If he does something, he has a good reason for it.

    two questions..............22 target rifle

    Sorry for the quick hijack... I may be wrong, but my understanding is shooting rimfire out of a non user-serviceable (can't take it apart and clean it) centerfire suppressor is a big no-no. Rimfire ammo is so much more dirtier than centerfire. All that lead and lube add up fast and need thorough...

    Bergara B14R questions

    Only one way to really find out...shoot it. I have never heard of anyone regretting 30MOA bases. And if you really want to play with MOA, get Burris XTR rings and you can add or subtract from 0-40MOA in 5MOA increments. I am running an early-run barreled action in a Grayboe. I went EGW 30MOA...

    Thinking about starting to carry optics in our shop

    Swarovski/Kahles for sure due to brand recognition with the affluent tourist crowd, maybe even Steiner. I would think you would move more binos and spotting scopes than firearm optics due to the jewelry and again, the tourist traffic. Maybe hit up Athlon to round out the low and middle tier. Of...

    Which 22LR Rifle for plink, precision and possible competition?

    YES! My philosophy about the whole thing is buy what fits, works, great deal falls in your lap, or whatever. Don't feel any need to stay in the $1200 MSRP base ceiling. Between used, sales, discounts and such, there is no reason to pay retail for optics unless it is top tier. Rifles are hit and...

    Which 22LR Rifle for plink, precision and possible competition?

    All great info. One thing to keep in mind is there really is not a lot of benefit to purchasing new to stay in Base class. Base is great if you already have a rifle or a scope and have to buy the other, but from scratch it can actually be less economically sound. I say this because of MSRP...

    Cooling down my Reloading Room

    I keep one 14k portable on each floor and another in the 16'x16' sunroom. I like the portables because I still have use of all of my windows and in the case of the Black and Deckers I use, they also have heat which is a nice backup. I also wound up having the command procure five of the same...

    Upgraded T1X or stock Bergara B-14R

    You are on the right path with your thought process, but your question has some gaping holes, specifically optics and budget. Look around here for a bit and you will see that all three that you mentioned have good track records and are upgradable to an extent. People that gravitate to the B14r...

    Modern day Welrod - the B&T VP9!

    When I first saw a write up on the VP9 I told my wife (a DVM) she needed one, she did not agree with me. She said at that price, quiet is too expensive. :LOL:

    Large % off certificates

    I got a 40% off an XLR chassis at my first match via free raffle. The guy picked before me got a free Thunderbeast 22 Takedown. There was also a bunch of whiskey and cash on the table. Generous sponsors and great match directors can make for an interesting prize table.

    Kids 12 gauge semiauto trapgun?

    10yo Shyanne Roberts tears 3-gun matches up with a 1301, but I don't know what the training process was that got her there. My 5'3" wife was not fond of my 21" 1301 Comp so I backed her down to a Mossberg 500 Youth Bantam (20ga. 22" bbl) and she enjoys that much more.

    B14R Setup for New Shooter

    I have not heard of any to stay away from. Just be prepared to adjust magazine fitment, primarily bolt catch and feeding angle. There are chassis/bottom metal that can adjust, aftermarket magazines that adjust, and ways to adjust the factory magazines. There's other threads that cover this...
