    Scope with large eyebox for new/young shooter?

    Red dot is a great idea. May I add my own little suggestion? Tape the objective end with opaque or with some scotch tape to make it fuzzy. It will force them to keep their off axis eye open, and hopefully extend to other scope use, or at least red dots. I don’t know of anyone else saying...

    2-10 scopes in FFP

    I too think the 1-(8-10) have killed off the 2-10s. Granted, people looking at a 1-8/10 are in somways a different market than the 2-10- but a lot of 2-10 buyer would have proffered a 1-10 if they could have gotten it. The SPR usage Or 308AR rifles. If the reticle is designed right, and it is...

    22LR twist rate

    It got too hot and too busy this summer. My 457 with Lilja barrel (1:9) wasn’t as good as I had hoped in its first outing, butI think I have some head spacing work to do. Might get out on Sunday to do some work up on it.

    More elevation for ELR rimfire

    I got a Mil model of the Ertac mount and a 20MOA rail. i think the best set up would be a 40-50 mil rail, and the Ertac mount. That way you would not use the Ertac to zero, but have all that Ertac for extended ranges. I’m liking the Ertac mounts because you need a mount no matter what, so why...

    The British Army should post back that the Americans need heroes to look up to, and the Brits are more than happy to oblige... We lose the Lt. Col. for speaking the truth, but this twit will get promoted. PLUS, not MIL, but that is a training position? You KNOW that after her tweet she sent...

    I did too... plain blade with a bunny rabbit logo on one side and "Bad-ass Girl" engraved on the other. She loved it.

    22lr twist rate advantages

    I know the old way was to say that the 22 LR barrels were constricted at the muzzle end, but it seems the more modern way is not to do that. Pretty sure that Lilja said you can cut the barrel to any length.

    22lr twist rate advantages

    So is this threaded barrel thing just a 1x9 thing? Never really heard about this before now. Are 22s more susceptible to the issue because the bullet is going slower and is that area longer? Like my question said, 22 inch barrel that's threaded. Is it better to get shorter from the proposed...

    So, if you have a threaded 22 inch barrel, are you better off shortening and recrowning it, or leaving it?

    So these are 50yards? Do you find that it’s the first round that is not part of the same hole? that is an MDT ACC chassis? Do you find the mag well to be really tight With voodoo mags? The ACC locks the mags up and feeds better than my AICS chassis, but the mags are very tight. I just put...

    Dirty Barrel with a few 22lr rounds and Accuracy

    I had always heard about switching ammo and having to re-coat the barrel with the new bullet lube…. I had a mental image of the new lube ‘wetting’ the barrel a few inches with each shot progressing down the barrel…. After seeing the barrel, I think it is more normalizing the crap in the barrel...

    Dirty Barrel with a few 22lr rounds and Accuracy

    22 and 26 I’ve seen the same thing in my AR-22s, but just assumed it was from a couple hundred rounds of cheap HV ammo. I’ve never looked at a 22lr bore with out at least 100 rounds. Holy crap there is a lot of crap in a 22lr barrel.

    Dirty Barrel with a few 22lr rounds and Accuracy

    I guess I have never done it before, but I pulled the bolt on two different guns that two different kinds of sub ammo shot through them - and even thought one had less than 20 rounds through the gun (CX) the bore looked like an obstacle course. A couple of patches with Slip cleaner, looks clean...

    ELR Scope, rail, mount specification calculation

    So 457 with the fast twist 1x9 barrel with a 20MOA rail and an ERETAC 0-20MIL scope adjustment, set at 20MIL. I got to the range and the gun shoots way high at 50 yrds. Vortex RAZOR scope and I adjust it all the way down. Much better, but still about 5MIL high. Take the ERATAC and dial from...

    Got to the range to Zero the 457/1-9Lilja rifle. Was just getting a zero and my son some time behind the gun. It's in a new MDT-ACC chassis that we are trying to fit to him, along with the Razor optic. Had to get home to get the ribs on. Planning on going to the CRC Silhouette range on...

    I have one of those sister barrels, actual two inbound due Thursday. I'm away from home, so they obliged me to ship them a little latter so that they don't sit on the porch. I ordered them back in March? April? and they had my card on file so I have no idea how much they are until I get my...
