    Cheap Bipod Thread

    Re: Cheap Bipod Thread I got the Caldwell XLA Bipod Sling Swivel Stud Mount 6" to 9" Black for about $21 from Midway in April. Have it mounted on a Savage Mark II BTV, and it seems fairly solid. Will be trying it out shortly and can give a report then.

    Re: upgrade the 581s, or get a cz, or get a savage? I have a soft spot for the older rifles, and it sounds as if you have been able to breathe new life into this one. Some time ago I picked up a load of Eley Sport cartridges at a favorable price. You may try some of that -- it is (or at...

    how to clean a precision rimfire 22 barrel ?

    Re: how to clean a precision rimfire 22 barrel ? Like a previous poster, I don't clean my .22 rifles until accuracy falls off. At the point, I have had good luck with the Wipe-Out products -- no brushing, just patches and dwell time.

    MOA at 100 yards is it possible with a 22lr?

    Re: MOA at 100 yards is it possible with a 22lr? +1 on the capabilities of the Savage Mark II BTV. Mine too can shoot 1 MOA at 100 yards when I do my part. Isn't it great to see a son take over where dad left off!
