    Micky mouse is dead

    Aguila Super Colibri's are/were advertised as indoor rat ammo. They'll stick in a 2x4 at 12 feet. Be careful they bounce back too. 😆

    Maggie’s Px bumping, maybe you are too high?

    I always tell people, vote with your money bro. Walk past the NC Star scope dealers and Chinese made Japenese katana swords and Howdy Doody belt buckle collections and give your time to the guys who do right. Some customers are right to bitch. 95% of tables are Gun Stores/dealers who already...

    Unertl/52 Project

    I went my state's biggest gun show of the year last weekend. They was a Remington custom shop maple stocked 541S with no reciever engraving (which I assumed they all had)....guy wanted $3500 for it. Then just one row over another guy had a 541S almost exactly like yours for $1450. Then I...

    Win52B with Balvar 24

    Well....most long term Hide members tend to know more than most. You spend enough time linked (even indirectly) to actual shooters.....your gonna learn something through osmosis. Versus the he said/she said/my cousin did sewing circle bullshit. The quote is true. "Its not that we are that...

    Win52B with Balvar 24

    When I said turd, I meant I hope this things works. There's really no way to know till it's all together if this thing works as implied by the seller. So as I have now read the instructions. This seperate lock ring here sets the eye relief. You loosen it and slide it forward or rearward...

    American Rifleman article...the last page only covers a couple paragraphs.

    Win52B with Balvar 24

    Well been doing some research that some may enjoy. Searching around I found the operators manual and a 1956 American Rifleman article on this scope and some ads. I'll post screenshots cuz I'm good like that. Getting this info spread around guarantees we don't lose it. I got the thing...

    Win52B with Balvar 24

    They feel *okay*......time will tell. Its been mounted for all of 30min. And i don't plan to wander in 10°F anytime this upcoming week. Wednesday might hit 33°F....but I have no faith in the weather channel app. If you have any paperwork on this optic. I could use some pics of it.

    Win52B with Balvar 24

    Well I finally picked up a scope I've been trying to get for 4 years now. Gun Show had a few gems to be had. This Bausch & Lomb 6-24x50 with the externally adjusted erector and the adjustment "knobs" around the maintube just looks killer. Has a tapering fine crosshair. I passed this scope...

    Glass for .22 Squirrels up to 50 Yards?

    Oh yeah, I shot it. Mounted a 10X optic on it and tested it out. It just wasn't all that great and it just didn't excite me on any level. I owned it for a year. It wasn't a rushed decision to let it go.

    Glass for .22 Squirrels up to 50 Yards?

    Ha! There are no $1000 Model 60's. So what I think of it is neither here nor there. Semi-auto's don't really excite me. My first rimfire was a Remingron 522 Speedmaster that my Mom threw out on the concrete in an argument with my Dad. I was in Kindergarten at the time. That fight led to...

    Glass for .22 Squirrels up to 50 Yards?

    I had a 10/22 that was north of 1 grand. Was too unreliable considering the then cost. I really like my 77/22. But as far as I'm concerned 10/22's are total overhyped pieces of shit that Ruger only made cheaper and cheaper over time. Being a Lego skill level build isn't a redeeming factor...

    Shortening .22 Rifle Barrel...Any Down Side?

    High velocity in a suppressed gun is pointless from a noise perspective. If its accurate that way or more accurate that way (out of shear luck)....I guess it's fine. It's not hearing safe ever. But people 200yds away hear you just fine. That said, I will always opt for the can IF the...

    Glass for .22 Squirrels up to 50 Yards?

    Ruger American when it first came out had my hopes up. It has a better bolt release, better safety position. Came with a pic rail (some come canted). But Ruger did what Ruger does....and cut as many corners as they could. Why they didn't make it easy to barrel swap....blows my mind. The...

    Glass for .22 Squirrels up to 50 Yards?

    The boat paddle stock on the 77/22 is hollow. I did install one....but it caused fliers horribly. The barrel is completely non free floated. But that hasn't hampered its on paper performance at all when running in factory form. The gun routinely would do cloverleaf shaped 5 shot groups. If...

    Glass for .22 Squirrels up to 50 Yards?

    This 77/22 has killed more shit than the plague. I've gotten quite a few offers for this rig even before prices skyrocketed. But it's pretty dang good rig. Lightweight and super accurate with CCI Sub's.....which hit hard as fuck. Has a SFP 6-18x40mm optic that is the weakest link. Wish it...
