    Just bought some jc targets (12x12, 8x8, (4)4x4, 3in diamond) and was wondering if you guys have any favorite shooting games to play with .22 at the range. I figured id set up the 4 4x4s on t posts and move them around and use a comp timer to see who can run the order the quickest but if you...

    I dont understand the whole "gun will hold _moa @ _yrds".

    If you can go out and shoot say a 1/2 group at 100y, why would that not mean that your rifle wouldnt hold that same moa throughout the upper yardage? Isnt it all external balistics at that point and falls more on the ammunition than the rifle? I always read people saying their rifle will hold...

    FV-SR won't extract shell unless fired.

    I'm sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out whats going on with my bolt .22. If fired it cycles through all 10 rounds no problem, but if I draw the bolt back without firing it stays in the chamber and doesn't extract the round which is a pain since every time I pull the bolt back to...

    When measuring for rings with the [rail height + ring height] - [bell diameter x 0.5] formula do you measure from the bottom "valley" of the base or from the top of the sides? From the middle I get .365, from the outsides I get .535. Also I'm going to assume there will be a little extra...

    Cheap non-steel core .223 for 3-gun

    Went to a meeting the other day for our 3-gun tourneys this year and they made mention with the targets where shooting they don't want any of what they call armor piercing ammo.
