    Savage Axis II?

    I'm presently testing an Axis II with an Outlier 308 Nitrided barrel and their Chassis. Really nice unit so far. Like most other Savages accuracy is excellent. The action isn't as smooth as a custom but for typical longrange matches most of us meer mortals compete in they can be competitive...

    Kudos to SWFA

    We've also dinged the 18" mile target at Thundet Valley with the 6x47L pistol. Really not much different than with a rifle. Topstrap

    Kudos to SWFA

    I do agree, they have a great product but is ready for an upgrade. I've bought a few Arkens lately and really like them.

    Got to shoot the Outlier Chassis/barrel/Savage today

    I know, here we go again with a Junk Savage test again. I personally like Savages and have no problem with their accuracy. Got to tell you I was pretty impressed with this thing today in the conditions we had and no load development at all. Buddy assembled it and I brought loads to the range and...

    Chinese Balloon

    So now we have a Chinese Balloon floating lazily over Montana. Just happened to be reading a thread here on the Hide about the grid and what an EMP detonation would do. Surprised everyone isn't in panic mode. Guess the egg plants burning down is in the spotlight at the moment. Never a dull...

    So the recent Chicken/Egg factories are being burnt down to create a yolk shortage? I can believe that. Topstrap

    REALISTIC groups at 200 yards?

    After spotting for all the competitors at my longrange matches and shooting the same if you can consistently on demand keep all your shots (except for the occasional wild round) on a 3 inch target you have a really great shooting rig. Sometimes they may be a tad better and other days a tad...

    Any Anschutz pistol shooters?

    Randy has his that met the rules for 22. Maybe with revolver and a heavy class he can shoot mine. Yup. He's a great guy and super competitor. He's tough to keep up with. Topstrap

    Any Anschutz pistol shooters?

    Buddy of mine went to that shoot. Randy Wise, I offered him my Freedom 44 this year for the revolver class. Heck the 22 might do as good. He said it was fun, I don't have anything to fit into any of the specific classes. Topstrap

    Any Anschutz pistol shooters?

    That is quite a collection of Exemplars. They were just coming out as I was exiting IHMSA but they were sure an improvement over our other choices. I uee mine at our local longrange rimfire matches. All are 22 longrifle left hand bolt. 1 (now sold to a friend) original 10" with wood stock, 1...

    Kudos to SWFA

    I feel I should share when a company goes above and beyond the same as when a company treats a customer like crap. The story starts with me having a 541X excess to my needs, I had a 20X SWFA moa-quad scope on it. I took it to a local gunshow carrying it around with a few interested lookers...

    Best Rimfire Match elements?

    My matches might be boring to some but I get a lot of PRS/NRL competitors coming every month just for the challenge. Various sized and shaped targets along with some gamble targets keep it pretty competitive. I allow 5 sighters a shooter can use at their discretion so using them wisely can be...

    Results October Topstraps Timed Rimfire Challenge Match

    Decent weekend for the final match of the year, no rain but was cool and Saturday and Sunday had pretty brutal wind. There was a couple stages I was holding nearly on the next target to the left to get hits. In some ways I'm glad it's done for the year but in other ways I will miss watching...

    October Topstraps Timed Rimfire Challenge

    Well, Fall is finally here and this will be the last Topstraps Rimfire Challenge matches of the year. Not sure about next year yet due to so many matches being run, it's making competitors choose which of 3 or 4 each weekend to go to. We'll see as Spring gets closer if there is still enough...

    Results Topstraps Sept Rimfire Challenge

    Well, one more shoot in the books. Not a big turnout, barely any local shooters participated but maybe a lot was going on so that's OK. I still had a great time watching everyone shoot, starting at 197 yards and working backwards thru the racks isn't is as easy as it sounds. No tweaking slightly...

    Results August Topstraps Longrange (midrange) Rimfire Challenge

    We got the August match in with pretty decent weather. Rained a bit on Sunday although initially it was supposed to be nice all three days. Wind held pretty calm which made for some nice scores. Had a few new shooters and less locals shoot this month, some traveled nearly two and a half hours to...

    August Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    Enjoyed having you all give my little range a try. Some really tough shooters have been showing up and it only takes a target or two to separate the scores. You really need to plan for the October timed match, it's a blast. Topstrap
