    CZ 455/457 magazine storage

    Depending on how you want to store mags... it would’t be hard to make a couple of open top mag pouches similar to the buttstock pouch I made below. Velcro could be sewn on the back if you have something with loop to attach it to. Might whip one up as I’m only a mag or two behind you...

    Carbon ring/dirty chamber, easiest place to start.

    .22lr zero ???

    I don't really compete, and I only shoot .22's at 100+ yards (at my home range I can shoot up to 250) so I zero at 100. Then I have room to dial up to the 200-250 ranges. I have zero'd a couple .22's to 50 but that's not my norm. I always try make sure my windage is zero'd with little or no...

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

    Thanks for the welcome. Amazingly enough, I’ve been a member since 08, but not a consistent contributor at all. I guess that’s changing for me. With the advent of Rimfire PRS and Long Range 22’s, the Hide is a great place for 22 precision, and I like how y’all have approached the lowly 22...

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

    Had a few brief moments and a light 6 O’clock wind (3:30-7:30 vrb 2-4 mph) , pulled the Vudoo, CZ457 and a 52B Bull barrel out for a 6x5 at 100 yards. The Vudoo ran a .97” average. The 52B Bull Barrel shot a 1.02 average. And the 457 a 1.21 average. Not a bad showing for a quick range...

    Sporterized Gewehr 88?

    No idea, but that is a really nice rifle! So is it 9mm para or some other 9mm flavor?

    Cheekpad mag holder for the CZ 457

    Decided to increase my onboard ammo supply, an additional 20 rounds never hurt anyone. Will probably end up making a single mag holder that will mount on velcro just in front of the receiver on the right side of the stock. Gotta try this one out first though...

    Rolling old school… Broke out the 52B Bull Barrel

    That's crazy. Just shows that there must be something to metallurgy and the powder/lube combination. Your T1X is certainly shooting as well as a Vudoo. I will certainly be watching it's progression as your sort out the new barrel. Moving on to your Vudoo comment, I think the biggest thing...

    Rolling old school… Broke out the 52B Bull Barrel

    littlepod, I've seen the same behavior when changing ammo or when it's cold. That's why I typically shoot a 6x5 (or two) when zeroing or judging a rifles accuracy. I've had rifles that'll throw out some great groups, but in the end average out well above an inch. Then I've had .22's that...

    Rolling old school… Broke out the 52B Bull Barrel

    Here’s the 200 yard run with Eley P100. It outshot the Vudoo today. KOD, I have two pre-A’s, both shoot MOA at 100 with the right ammo. Crazy, both of my pre-A’s are from the 20’s. They’re pushing 95 years old and still can shoot.

    Rolling old school… Broke out the 52B Bull Barrel

    Near Elizabethtown. I have a couple 52’s with iron sights and have shot them at 100 yards, with the NRA 100 yard bullseye. The 52 pictured is scoped using the Nightforce 20 MOA base. It’s not the prettiest but it’s been a good performer.

    Rolling old school… Broke out the 52B Bull Barrel

    Had a decent break in the weather here in Kentucky. 40's and light wind. Decided to pull out a few .22's that needed their zero confirmed. On the list; 40x, CZ 457 ProVarmint and a Winchester 52B Bull Barrel. I zeroed at 100 as I can shoot up to 250 yards at the house. The 40x just got a 20...

    CZ 457 glass and ring choice? Post pics

    Running a Vortex Viper PST gen 1, on an Area 419 30 MOA rail, with UTG low height steel ring. It’s a nice combo.

    200 yards with rimfire

    I've shot a fair amount of P100. Two different lot numbers selected for speed and success in a couple of my rifles. I can't think of any FTF's. Now the lots I selected were 2016 and 2017. What timeframe was your P100 produced?

    Rear Bag

    I've gone round and round trying to make the perfect bag. The weighted poly beads are the best I've found for density and form. These are a smaller version I've made, it's about 2.5" tall x 4" wide and 8" long, but can be varied a bit in volume. And for those of you rolling your own, nice...

    Ground shooting mat

    I made a shooting mat that allows for loading a bipod using your body weight. It's thin and relatively easy to pack. I used 3mm or 5mm yoga mats for padding. The mats can be pulled out if you want something thicker or not at all. The biggest thing I wanted was a mat that allowed for my body...
