    My Son was in line for the #3 gun. Full restitution was made by Brian. Can't do any better than that. He says he'll still get in line when they are ready to be re-released. Topstrap

    Impacts on the target support, hit or miss?

    At my 22 rimfire matches unless it's right at the weld where the hanger joins the target it's a miss. I made a special rack especially for 37 yards, at that distance the bullet is still on its way up and on a small target most shooters will shoot over it. I usually only get them a couple times...

    Best Caliber to Learn Long Range Shooting

    A good 223 with 88s will surprise you. Really close to the ballistics of a 6.5 and 6mm. Much cheaper to shoot, no recoil to speak of and decent barrel life. Does very good to 1000 yards but hard to spot for and on a decent day has surprised us at Thunder Valley on the mile target. Hardest part...

    Just wanted to say Thank You. You'll know what we mean. Hopefully in the near future we will be blown away. Phantomskittles is still wanting to show me his new gun will beat my old Savage 338. Topstrap

    Scope that focus down to 25 yards

    25 yards, which is really only a couple clicks down from 50 yards if you want to get picky but depends on scope height above bore. The gun in the picture is the same for both 25 and 50 with the apex being about 35 to 37 yards. The Arken has over 110 MOA of elevation travel. Topstrap

    Scope that focus down to 25 yards

    Check out the 6-24 SH-4 Gen-2 scope from Arken. I'm very impressed with the 2 we have. I have 55moa of cant and can dial to 550 with zero holdover. The floating dot is really nice for moving around on small targets. The quality is well above the $450.00 price and it has a lifetime warranty. I've...

    swfa scopes

    I've been a big proponent of SWFA scopes on all of my longrange rimfire guns. Nearly all have been upgraded to the 20x moa-quad except for our PRS/NRL guns which have a 3-15 DM reticle which i really like. Great mechanics, decent glass, lots of travel and built like a tank. I just acquired my...

    Curious….anyone say fuck it and quit?

    My wife's last day of work before retiring is Oct 27th after nearly 47 years being an RN. Most was ER (part being manager) and most of the rest on the Intensive Care floor. Hospital mandated the Jab by Oct 31 or you're gone. Good for her, she deserves to retire and although she loved caring for...

    Results October Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    Video of the winning run at this months Topstraps Rimfire Challenge. Might look pretty slow on video but loading your 1 mag, acquiring next target and setting next scope setting it's a lot harder than it looks. Targets are always up, be glad you have others come give it a try or just shoot the...

    Results October Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    Last match of the year, In some ways I'm glad it's done for the year but in other ways I will miss watching everyone shoot. I want to thank everyone that came to shoot this year, I hope you found it challenging and fun and hope to do it all again next year. I've seen a lot of improvements in...

    Another one in the books, one more to finish up the season in October. It'll be the timed event, for all those speedsters that think they are accurate fast shooters come on down and challenge yourself and see if you can beat the top finisher and earn the Crown. 100 rounds in a bowl, 85 targets...

    Gaming the NRL-22 Offhand Stages - does anyone GAF?

    Spirit of the problem. Shame every exacting detail has to be written. Maybe if you have a "standing" stage make it so movement is involved and movement has to be done in the position it was shot by the shooter. That could get interesting. Creativity is good and helps improve us but sometimes it...

    More elevation for ELR rimfire

    Using a 25moa base with 30moa in the Burris XTR rings and an Arken SH4 and directly dial to 550 yards without holdover with my Anschutz Exemplar Pistol. Figure that will get me farther than is practical. Easy to get the needed moa increase as long as your scope can handle it. Burris rings work...

    Norma 22 match -- any good?

    It's one ammo that seems to be readily available, pallets of it sitting around the aisles at our local Rural King. In all the years of watching/spotting shooters at my longrange rimfire matches only one gun really likes Tac-22 and shot it well. Comparing to CCI Std would be a pretty close...
