    What scope do you have on your 22?

    Ok, someone here has to be the Dinosaur, I'm it! B&L Balvar 6X24 on my Win 52D, Tasco 705's 6X18 on my 52C and 52B, all heavy barrel bench guns. Love the classic old school looks, glass is better than most would think and people do come over to look at them! All shoot better than me most days...

    Rem 513 T matchmaster

    Wow, thanks for the trip down memory lane! That is the rifle I learned to shoot with in the NRA in Syracuse in 1969. They had a bunch of them, along with one Winchester 69 or 75, that has led to a lifetime passion of classic 22 target rifles and pistols. I don't know why I do not have one now...

    Rifle Scopes Any decent cheap 1" tube scopes?

    And then there was a former Lockheed test pilot who built an F-104 Starfighter because he had some spare parts. Me? I plan on following on 19Scout77's idea and buy a Tikka in 7.62x39 because this weekend I found 2 crates of Lapua I bought some years ago from a pawn shop for $400, they were...

    What's the most stupid thing you've been told?

    Forgot this one. At the dealership I work at, about a year ago I was talking to a Service Adviser who told me he had been in the Marines. As I am about 30 miles from Quantico and have family and friends that were/are Marines, I asked him what he was. He told me he had been a sniper about 10...

    Who is in Washington DC or New York City?

    Born and raised in Northern VA for almost 60 years, yes, good and bad this close to the DCesspool. Places to see, the Museums on the Mall, NASM being my favorite. Food wise in DC, the Steak houses and Chinatown. In VA, the USMC and USAF Memorials and the Italian Store in Arlington, killer...

    Interesting M25 Info and Pics

    Thanks to all of you for a great and comprehensively done "packet" of information on the M24, M25 and M40 rifles and the snipers' development programs as well. I didn't know there is a modern sniper shoot at Quantico. I wouldn't even try in the WW2 era class as the most powerful sniper scope I...

    Go to online store for ammunition?

    Back in the 2000's, I used Ammoman. Never had any problem, but then the prices just seemed to jump. Used to love Wideners, bought lots of IMI, then, same thing, prices jumped, I think they were sold? Now it's mostly SGAmmo or Midway with a deal, both great to deal with. Wonder what happened to...

    What's the most stupid thing you've been told?

    Noob here but next year will be my 50th year shooting just about everything I can trying to wear my trigger finger out, no luck so far! What I've heard would fill a WalMart. What I've seen is what I really remember! A formerly great outdoor range in MD I no longer go to. 1st oops is I'm...

    Anybody Else Here a Cast Iron Collector?

    Many thanks to all of you. I have a friend who has been trying to teach me for a long time (not a good teacher) how to use C/I and in one thread I have really learned how to get started and more important, what not to do. Also found some old Paul Revere stainless pans my Mom used, going to get...

    Not a Sniper Rifle, but...

    Had a Model 8 in .30 Rem. many years ago. A great compact carbine, it just became uneconomical to feed but a friend/collector made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Back in the day, I did shoot it a lot when Potomac Arms in Alexandria VA, (God I miss that place) sold all of their old stock ammo for...

    Daytona 500 faggotry on wheels?

    I, too miss the Killer B's. And the Moto GP 500cc 2 stroke bikes that would high side you if you blinked at the wrong time. Or seize an engine just for the hell of it. Now F-1 is hybrid racing between M/B and Ferrari with the lamest ass sounding race cars I've ever heard plus now the GP bikes...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Snob in remission

    To everyone on this thread from a long time lurker, I thank you for this wealth of unbiased information. Hopefully, in the near future, I will be able to do some long range shooting and want to upgrade some of my optics. It looks like the XTR is the stepping stone for me. I've been shooting for...
