    Building a Precision .22 before buying a “big” rifle?

    That is a 64 based repeater action, you will pay a premium for the repeater feature but it will have a lesser quality trigger and won't be as accurate, hence my question on did he need a repeater/ was he wanting to play nrl22 type games...

    Building a Precision .22 before buying a “big” rifle?

    Used 54 based March rifles - A deal at 6something (see one at this price every year or two) to 1200+ish used depending on which stock, what accessories, and if it comes with Irons. The 2 stage trigger is the gold standard that other triggers are compared to.... a new annie is 3500ish. These are...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Cronus vs Ares ETR

    When judging Ares ETR vs Cronus BTR, my eyes seemed to like the Cronus minutely better, another friend when the parallax and diopter were adjusted for him, same day/same lighting thought they were very similar in image quality....

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Cronus vs Ares ETR

    I like the etr turrets better than cronus, clicks more positive plus locking windage.. glass is close but not quite as good. Hunted the ETR yesterday, low light performance was great

    I have not had time to draw up the mag in CAD yet. I am envisioning a 2 piece body made from delrin or equivalent held together with screws and brass inserts.... As it stands the OEM mag assembly is rather large and is distinctly easier than a cz or savage to reload on the clock. The angle of...

    LOL, your definition of "your hands full" and mine are vastly different. It is a rimfire barrel- machine it as needed (1 night maybe 2 project depending on when kids go to bed and how quick the setups on the lathe and mill go) ,install it , move on with life and the overall build. My years of...

    4. 'MERICA, cause I can should be reason enough 1. The barrel in question is a more a "medium sporter" contour at approximately. 728" at the muzzle. I want to use this rifle for nrl22/PRS rimfire events and prefer more overall weight and a more muzzle heavy feel. It looks like the barrel is...

    Handled a 22 lr today, almost bought it for dealer's 469 price tag but had to pass.... The wire ejector looks "inrresting", eyeballing it to a ctr om the rack floorplate and magazine assembly will be no drama fit but I can see what other reviewers were saying about aics magwells being a...
