    New .22 actions still coming?

    I never use good enough in the same sentence with accuracy. You focus on money as I focus on accuracy results. Prefits are for you! 👍

    New .22 actions still coming?

    The Lego mentality drives the market. Logic will not stop it. Lesser accuracy from prefits will not stop it. Style over substance.

    Best 5.56 bullet for Coyotes

    Of course what you say is correct as far as it goes. Yet a coyote will run more often and further than a deer, a bobcat a coon, a beaver etc. And that does not even include those that are not hit perfectly. I’ve seen gut shot coyotes quickly and fully recover.

    Some RH shooters prefer LH actions for the same reason.

    New .22 actions still coming?

    I chose my hunting rifle on several criteria. Accuracy with more than one lot of ammo was paramount. I did not want a picky rifle. Another was ability to hold point of impact day to day and from all positions. Offhand, over knees, sitting and prone with and without sling, off bench, rested...

    Best 5.56 bullet for Coyotes

    Not questioning you at all. Fully agree on fast explosive bullets. My favorite Coyote round is 32 grain .204 at 4000 fps. Stunner. Otherwise we are shooting different animals. Bobcats are soft in my experience. Coyotes are amazing. Example. I shot one in a trap one morning on way to work. 22...

    Best 5.56 bullet for Coyotes

    I find this statement amazing. Pound for pound a coyote is about the toughest survivor on the planet. I shot critters in size from a few oz to 5 tons and never found anything as tough for its size.

    Best 5.56 bullet for Coyotes

    In 12” or so of body depth? On a coyote you would need to shoot end to end to get that.

    New .22 actions still coming?

    My 75 year old rifle and scope shoots 100 yd groups like ths in calm conditions. I get some like this. And an occasional one like this. I bought 4 Vudoo rifles and none of them shot this well even after sending all of them in for lot testing of top tier ammo. Not being critical of Vudoo at...

    New .22 actions still coming?

    I must ask, What is the problem with current actions? Actions from 1950 are still shooting with the current latest and greatest. Not much room for improvement. Rimfire issues are largely ammunition based. And it’s a design flaw that cannot be corrected.

    Current Surgeon vs AI Action

    The “wide selection” Lego mentality is amusing. If your action of choice has the stock and trigger you want why does a wide selection matter?

    Nice rifle. It appears to be an early 40x on the 721 action.

    AMU Model 70: 30-338 Win Twist Rate

    OP, congratulations on the new rifle. As two posters said above, it's easy to check. Put a strip of masking tape on a cleaning rod. Fit a tight patch in the barrel so the rod rotates as you advance it into the bore. I like to use some oil as a lubricant to help assure no slipping. Once you...

    KMW thread

    I can vouch for this. I called Terry about 2009. He “put me on the list” at about #12 iirc. Over the next two years I worked my way up to number 4 according to my annual call. Then something happened. I stalled out. I suppose I’m still at #4?? Have not checked for a decade or so. True...

    It might make more sense to locate a different scope. Both from a time and money standpoint.

    Iron Bridge Armory (IBA)XM3 build not clone correct

    Re: IBA IBA was always snarky to deal with. Re: cloning. I had at one time purchased an estate of a retired and deceased USMC 2112. Had boxes of things. Scopes, mounts, photos, barrels, rifles etc. about a pick up bed full. This stuff spanned WW1 through Vietnam. It was immensely...

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    I have owned 8 or 9 M1A’s. Everything from modern Springfields to Devine Tx NM’s. I had a Gucci build LRB with all TRW parts, Krieger barrel , famous smith etc. . I only have one now. It’s a 2112 built TRW parts kit National Match barrel, USGI STOCK etc. It has a history look and feel that no...
