    Winchester T22 Target

    Anyone know if Winchester is still making this stuff? My older vintage Marlin 80DL's love this ammo, which makes me really like it too!

    Target Idea / Anyone Do This Yet?

    I'm thinking of hanging a 3/16 x 8 inch AR400 gong behind my 100 yard TQ-4 paper target when I'm shooting with my Aperture Sights at that distance. Anyone else do something similar to this? I would just try and center it up about 12 to 18 inches behind the target. The bullet would pass...

    Spotting Scope For 200 Yard Paper Target Shooting

    Been thinking of doing more with my Aperture Sights this year and was wondering if anyone has any idea's on an inexpensive spotting scope that will pick up .22 cal hits in the black at 200 yards. I intend to be shooting from the Prone position. I saw the following spotting scope at Optics...

    Changed Stock On My Savage MKII-FVT

    Well, here it is. I call it, "From crap to that." Wasn't overly happy with the synthetic stock this rifle came with some years back, and I've been wanting to change it to a laminated stock. I saw Numrich had a Savage MKII-LR (for the .17HM2) stock for $60.00, and figured that since the .17HM2...

    Savage MKII LV 22lr / 17 HM2

    I ordered this Savage stock (MKII LV 22lr / 17 HM2) from Numrich today to replace the synthetic stock on my Savage MKII FVT 22lr. I wanted just a basic stock that wouldn't break the bank (so to speak), and if I have to do some modifications on this thing it's no big deal. The price was right...

    To Our Brothers & Sisters In The Philippines

    Over the years here on the Hide, we have come to know several fellow Rim Fire user's who live in the Philippines. I just want to say how sick we feel about what has happened there, and all of you are in our hearts and prayers, as we hope for a quick recovery from such an awful disaster. You...

    Federal Auto Match .22lr - Anyone Using It In Their 10/22?

    I picked up some Federal Auto Match about a year ago with the intent of using it in my Ruger 10/22, but have yet to give it a try. I'll probably test it this coming Wednesday Sept. 18th, but in the mean time I was just wondering if anyone had used any of this ammo, and what they thought about...

    Question... For those of you that have both (or have used both) the Boyds Tacticool & Thumbhole stock's for the Savage MKII,,, which do you prefer, and why? What is the advantage of one over the other? I'm thinking of restocking my MKII-FVT. I have shot the Thumbhole stocked MKII (my son's...

    Shootin' Gongs Tomorrow

    Well its been a while since I've posted anything and done any .22lr shooting. Thought I'd go out tomorrow (Wednesday) and do some shooting with one of my .22's... Not sure which one as yet, but shooting at some gongs sounds kind of fun. Don't know about the rest of you, but since this "rim...

    Your Thoughts On CCI Standard Velocity .22lr

    Made an ammo trade with a friend of mine today. He had 7 boxes of CCI Standard Velocity .22lr (1070 fps) 40gr LRN, and wanted something with a bit more poop (so to speak) so I offered him 7 boxes of Federal 510B .22lr (1240 fps) 40gr LRN, for his CCI ammo. He was happy to make the trade. He...

    Cheek Weld / Riser On Savage MKII FVT

    Well it may not be pertty, but it ought to work. It feels right. For years I've shot this rifle without the proper cheek weld, but after getting educated on a youtube video about building up your cheek rest to where it needs to be in relationship to ones eye and their scope alignment to...

    Gongs At 50 & 100 Yards Today - Prone / Iron Sight

    Decided to hang up some of my new gongs today and take some shots at them from the prone position at 50 and 100 yards using two Marlin rifles. The 5" & 4" gongs on the left I shot at with my Marlin 80DL with open iron sights from 50 yards prone,,, and the 3 gongs on the right (7", 8", 6") I...

    Remington Viper 522 - Interesting Find

    Well, I've owned one of these 522's since '94 or '96 (I beleive) and simply gave up on it about 4 - 5 years ago. Damn thing wouldn't feed half the time, and in all honesty it really isn't all that accurate. Still, it's in my .22 collection because of a weak moment many years ago. Ok, I got...

    One Station - 3 Target Stage Setup

    I don't know if I showed this picture before or not? It's my one station - 3 stage 100 yard setup I used this passed summer when shooting from the setting position with a couple of my scoped .22lr's. This actually was pretty fun. Stage 1 - 5 shots at clays Stage 2 - 5 shots at the pop can...

    Quality Targets

    Ordered some new gongs yesterday from Quality Targets. I need to get back to what I enjoy, and that is smacking lead off metal at long range. I didn't think the price & shipping was bad at all. I ordered the round 1/4" gongs that can be hung by chain; 4" - 5" - (2) 6" - 7" & 8"... I'm...

    Do We Need A 150 Yard SH Monthly Comp?

    I have noticed that some folks talk about shooting from 150 yards and this got me to thinking,,, we have no 150 yard SH Comps. I believe a paper target at 150 yards would have the following scoring rings; X Ring - 1.5 inches 10 Ring - 3 inches 9 Ring - 6 inches 8 Ring - 9 inches 7 Ring - 12...

    Another month shot because of stinkin' weather

    Well the topic says it all. This has been the longest stint I can remember that I haven't been able to catch a decent day to shoot. Either the wind is howling at 20+ mph along with rain or snow, or the wind is blowing 30 to 40+ mph with sunshine. This crap is getting old... It could be...

    Simmons 22 Mag Rimfire Scope 3-9 w/AO

    http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=263510 Anyone have any insight on this scope? I picked up one today. The reviews from Midway customers sounds pretty good. Haven't decided which rifle to mount this on as yet, but just handling one of these scopes I see the...

    My New 200 Yard Paper Target

    I got to tinkering today and decided that to continue to spend money on A-21 200 yard full size and replacement center targets, I could just make my own here at home with my copier using the standard 8.5 x 11" paper. Also, trying to see hits in the black on the A-21 & A-21c is a challenge from...

    Soda Can At 250 Yards

    Here is a link to this topic (Shooting a soda at 250 yards) that has sparked a debate on another website by many nay sayers that don't believe it can be done. http://minuteofangle.blogspot.com/2011/03/long-range-rimfires-with-style.html Many short range shooters (100 yards and under) seem to...
