    Anschutz 1710 Comp XLR a viable alternative?

    I've owned two Anschutz 2013's, still own a 1827 biathlon, and a 1710 in the excellent GRS stock. The 2013's were good shooters, but never shot with the consistency of my H&R model 12 (Mark Penrod build), and I'm not a huge single shot fan. The 1827 and 1710 are wonderful rifles, with...

    Best way to move lots of guns?

    Move them yourself. Rent a moving truck, buy a box trailer (you needed the excuse didn't you?), trade a gun to a buddy with a truck/trailer that can haul all your stuff ( he wanted one of your guns anyway, and he get to handle the rest of them!). If you have time, the larger gunshows typically...

    Magnification for 22lr precision shooting at 100yds.

    I recently purchased two of the Bushnell HDMR CR 3.5-21's. Because the scopes are clear and bright, 21x seems enough, I would not want to go with too much less. Most of my .22's have 6-24x, 5-25x, or 4.5-30x. If I had a choice, they'd all (but a couple) wear something like the Bushnell XRS2...

    6X5 Thread V5.0 *new 1/1/21*

    RFS99, first nice work with the Stiller. As to my rifle, I bought it used, so I don’t know much about what Mark did with it. The action is original and it’s a CMP rifle. US stamped. The trigger feels stock (maybe lightly worked) and is rather heavy. Like 2 lb pull heavy. The Barrel is...

    6X5 Thread V5.0 *new 1/1/21*

    Got the Penrod H&R Model 12 out today. 100 yards with Eley Tenex. It didn’t disappoint. I shot 8 groups as group number 2 opened up a bit. Groups 3-6 were solid so I shot two more. Average for the Group 3 to 8 6x5 was .52”. 1-6 was .63” Good start to 2021...

    Is the Winchester 52C still competitive

    Promo, I have several 52's. Three 52 C's, and a couple of B's, and a couple pre A's. All will average 1" at 100 in calm winds. The two bull barrels that I have, will shoot .5-1" at 100 much like what rth1800 is experiencing. I own a Vudoo, a B14r, and two high end Anschutz. My 52's don't...

    Is the Winchester 52C still competitive

    The 52c is still a mag fed rifle. 5 round magazines are easy to come by, 10 round, not so much. If you work mag changes, the 52 will certainly hold it's on for an NRL type match. Benchrest, middle of the pack. The bottom line is if your limited on funds, a 52c with a 16x unertl will go a...

    Couldn't resist the current Midway sale either. $1249 for a H59 reticle is a pretty good deal.

    Winchester 52's

    Calfed, That's a fantastic looking rifle. If it doesn't have the crack at the safety lug, don't ever engage the safety and shoot it for the next 100 years. When the safety is engaged, it puts stress on the thin 90 degree safety lug cut. However, if you don't use the safety, you won't...

    Older/used spotting scopes?

    If you're military/LE , contact Kowa. I'd look at the Kowa 880 series as they offer a nice discount. You'll be able to get an 883/4 spotter and eyepiece within your budget. Clear, bright spotters. Hard to beat.
