    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    Agreed. If I have $2,000+ for a rimfire, I'm thinking Voodoo or Anschutz 54 action rifles. If I am in the $500-$1,000 range (which I've been), I'm thinking a hopped up CZ, Tikka or Anschutz 64 action (which is what I have). The two categories are not crossing over just like centerfire rifles.

    .223 trainer- brass help please

    I try not to use crimped cases as I don't have a de-crimper. That aside, I am currently running cases made by Hornady, PMC and Black Hills (or whatever they use). They have only been shot in my .223 (a Rem 700 SPS TAC dressed up a bit) so they all fit (and I FL resize them). Dropping the...

    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    Until the patent question is answered, I'll assume there's not a problem. Until then, I think this rifle will give my Anschutz 1416 HB a real run for the money. Am very curious how this rifle handles and shoots. Definitely a different animal than the Voodoo as they are in two different price...

    Comparing reloading die sets.....RCBS vs. Redding

    By the way, you mention that whichever brand you go with on the 45-70, you'll probably go with for your precision .223. There's no particular reason to limit yourself that way. I have the RCBS Cowboy dies for my Marlin 1895, which certainly doesn't need a micrometer seating die for lead...

    New Winchester Staball 6.5 ball powder

    This is exciting. Until recently, I've reloaded for only three rifles, .223 (using Western TAC), 30-30 (CFE223) and 45-70 (TrailBoss). Recently I've picked up a 6.5CM and defaulted to H-4350. Great powder as far as performance for the 100 rounds I've loaded and shot so far. Crappy powder for...

    Help with choosing a precision training/target rifle

    Would also concur with Jefe above. I have an Anschutz 1416 in .22LR, and that is also a hoot to shoot and will certainly make you a better rifle shooter. 100 yds on a windy day will really test your skills. Plus, a really fine two stage match trigger will accentuate any flaws you have in...

    Help with choosing a precision training/target rifle

    I was like you. I started with my first bolt action around 4-5 years ago. I chose a Rem. 700 SPS Tac in .223. It has a 1:9 twist 20" heavy barrel. As others suggested, over time I replaced the tupperware stock with a KRG Bravo stock (can use detachable magazines), a Timney 510 trigger, a TPS...

    Comparing reloading die sets.....RCBS vs. Redding

    Are you thinking of shooting jacketed or lead bullets? If lead, RCBS has a nice "cowboy" reloading die set which is made specifically for lead projectiles. I have an 1895 (22" 45-70) and use the RCBS Cowboy die set and it performs well. I'm shooting mostly lead 300 gr. RNFP bullets at around...

    Rifle Scopes USO TS-20X scope?

    My bad, thanks! I read about it on TFB and thought it was a new scope, hence it wouldn't have gotten any play yet on the Hide.

    Rifle Scopes USO TS-20X scope?

    Recently read that US Optics is coming out with the TS-20X riflescope. Looks interesting and very nicely priced for a USO scope. Anyone know anything about this one?

    6.5 Creedmoor vs. 6mmBR

    Well, got it put together. Rem 700 ADL, KRG Bravo stock, TPS base and rings, Vortex 5-15 scope (for the time being), Trigger Tech Special flat blade trigger: After a half dozen break in rounds, went out today to the 100 yd. range (200 yd was being used for a competition) and shot some groups...

    Rifle Scopes Scope base bedding ques.

    The only screws I screwed down tight were the front two. With those snugged up the rear of the based didn't show a gap on the rear of the receiver (with no screws in the rear). You're right, if you snug the front screws down, have a large gap in the rear (say, .010"), and crank down the rear...

    6.5 Creedmoor vs. 6mmBR

    This weekend I'll go back out, but my range is only 200 yds for paper targets and 230 yds for steel they have hanging. Should have the new stock and trigger by then too. Will report back...

    6.5 Creedmoor vs. 6mmBR

    Well, took it to the range today for the second time. The first time was to shoot, then clean, and shoot another and clean. Trying to break it in somewhat properly. Last week I received my rail and scope rings and got them mounted with a Vortex 5-15 I had laying around. Still in the orig...

    Rifle Scopes Scope base bedding ques.

    Yup, I'll leave it alone. Although, I was kind of looking forward to bedding a base for the first time. I really enjoy working on my guns and having a good result, and knowing it was done right.

    Rifle Scopes Scope base bedding ques.

    Well, I did another dry run of mounting the rail. I installed the front 2 screws and torqued them just under the recommended amount (vs. hand tight originally). I now couldn't see or feel a gap in the rear. Tried to get that .0015" feeler gauge in, and it wouldn't. I could get it in just on...

    Rifle Scopes Scope base bedding ques.

    I have a new R700 I bought a week ago that I’m going to be putting into a new stock, new trigger and optics. I have a TPS scope base for it and dry fit it last night to see if I might need to bed it. From the fitting, I have three questions: With the front two screws screwed in hand tight, I...
