    Montana legislature acting up.

    As to your latter point... No one on this planet can actually think this was an improvement. Mental illness is rampant, celebrated and incentivized.

    PRS Talk Do's and Don'ts when squading with "Pro" level shooters?

    You need to do the same on the "pro" squad or the newbie squad. Be prepared and ready. Help move things along, score, spot, snag brass, etc if needed. Be safe!

    Is the CZ 457 varmint camo (manners stock) worth it?

    Countless people have have been down this same road. As far as budget and your level of interest in pursuing rimfire sports, you'll figure it out. I will leave few tidbits of info for you..... CZ's - I love em, started with a 455 varmint tactical (Boyd's stock) and ended up building it out with...

    CZ has never sold actions or barreled actions, always had to buy a donor rifle.

    Tooling marks in bore

    I have no plans to try and lap this out, it just looked different from other barrels and I was curious. Apparently this is common to certain mass produced barrels. After all the cleaning I did slug the barrel. About 1.5" past the throat it basically free slides to the last 1/2" where there is...

    Tooling marks in bore

    I know a little about machining, but I have never taken a borescope to work to look at the wall of a gun drilled hole and we don't make barrels. That was one part of my original post was questioning the process, maybe there was "zero lapping". So it makes sense considering the pics of other...

    Tooling marks in bore

    I hear you, and in many ways, agree. The OCD comment was sort of tongue-in-cheek. I'm not slavishly scrubbing all my barrels to bare metal. A few years back when I began to get interested in higher-end rimfires I listened to the old guard at the range. I don’t ever clean my bore, they said...

    Tooling marks in bore

    :ROFLMAO: Actually, finally was able to get to the range on Wednesday. I slugged the barrel before the range trip and it isn't perfect but has a good choke at the muzzle. I took stack of different ammos, mostly Lapua/SK flavors. It shows promise, certainly not shooting one hole groups, I...

    Tooling marks in bore

    That was my initial suspicion because I didn't think hammer forging was available to small companies like TC during that time period. But they are very consistent from end to end, if it was feed chatter seems like it should vary some.

    Yes, that would explain how the marks are in the lands and grooves. Shouldn't take more than a 1000 rounds to re-season the barrel ☹️

    Tooling marks in bore

    I saw the post by justin amature but I just don't know. I'm assuming it was made in the 80's, I didn't think hammer forging processes were used by TC during that time period. But just speculating.

    That has been JB'ed, several times. Finding all that was my reward after removing all the carbon.

    Practicing for long range - options when you are capped at 200 yards??

    So far it's been fun, eventually everyone will take the safe path and clean more often than not. Right now it's hilarious to see the shooter who thinks "I got this" and loses everything on target 8 and is scrambling to rebuild because he wouldn't bank at 7. Risk --- Reward.

    Says by the Pic, unknown date, Thompson Center Contender barrel. No, haven't shot it yet, person I got it from was in the "never clean your rimfire barrel" camp and I stripped it to bare metal before going to the range.

    I still use it, but have a "bank" target. Depending on choices made by the shooter points could be lost, but they can also be regained if the time allows. Obviously this is a non-sanctioned match.

    Tooling marks in bore

    I'm no expert, but I've looked down a few barrels and I have never seen tool marks like these. They are consistent, going from the leade to the muzzle. Is this a different process, zero lapping, idk. Unknown date of manufacture .22 lr TC Contender barrel.
