    Zastava Z99 (Rem Model 5/Charles Daly X) .22lr mod

    I have a little Zastava .22lr that I bought for $300AUD and am looking at making some modifications to it in order to improve the looks and ergonomics so I can do a bit better in local bench rest comps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD4c2pnD1SI&feature=BFa&list=PL978AF38F6F58C4D9 <EDIT mine...

    posWalnut stocks on tactical rifles?

    I have been looking at stocks to upgrade the pos hogue on my 700 tactical .223, and while the aics looks great, I can't justify it at the moment. BUT a 2nd hand 700 bdl deluxe walnut stock is for sale at a reasonable price. Would I be best upgrading to that now and save for the aics in the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns .38 Spec Short Barrel Gold Dot

    I feel dumb for even asking this question, but I have seen a few videos showing the performance of the 135gr Gold Dot Short Barrel from 2 inch snub nose revolvers and just wondered what the performance would be like from a 3 inch? What about full size service 4 inch barrels? Would the round open...

    Rapid bolt shooting techniques

    Has anyone shot targets accurately and rapidly, from multiple positions, at multiple ranges? For example, shooting a target 3x at 75yards offhand, then 150+ yards from some sitting position, then a target at 200-300 from prone (all within say 60secs)? I just wanted to know techniques and...

    700 SPS tactical .223 - optics and loadings

    So I just put the deposit down on a new .223 sps tactical with a one piece rail and leupold 30mm rings. I cant decide on scope options though so wanted to hear what other people have gone with? This rifle will be used primarily as a range rifle 90% of the time at 100-200yds but hopefully up to...

    SH Rimfire Comps

    I'm having trouble printing the targets. I'm wondering if there is an issue with US and Australian paper sizes being different? PS - I went to the range the other day and shot good ammo through my $250 Zastava .22 sporter in a bench rest comp against 2 CZ sporters, a CZ Varmint and a $1000+...

    'Tactical' .223 on a budget

    I recently bought an extremely light weight .308 that I intend to take up the cape of Australia on a hunting trip when I can afford the $3k. I have taken it to the range and off a bag have been getting pretty consistent 2 shots in 1 hole, and then the 3rd opening up to about 1-1.5inch. Now I am...

    Moving to America/Canada with firearms

    *** Please move this post if it is in the wrong spot. My gf and I are seriously considering moving to somewhere in the states or canada in the near future. The main reasons being that I really love shooting and hunting but it is getting incredibly hard and costly to do here. She is also studying...

    General Purpose Hunting Rifle

    I am looking at buying a general purpose, lightweight hunting rifle and managed to have a play with a few at the LGS yesterday. I had my mind set on one particular model, but after getting there and having a look and handling each gun, my opinion completely changed. Based on handling, operation...

    Hunting & Fishing Single shot rifles and muzzleloaders

    I have become kinda bored with 'easy' bolt action .308's and have been taken with the idea of a single shot rifle or muzzleloader. I just wanted people's opinions and hunting experiences on different rifles, what works, what doesn't and what is just darn fun! I have never used or even shot a...

    Reviews of the Savage 25 LV rifles?

    I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with the Savage 25 LV rifles? Positives or negatives? I have been looking at my options for a medium range bolt rifle and have pretty much narrowed it down to one of the cheaper Remington 700 models or one of the Savage rifles in either .223...

    Boyds' Tacticool stock CZ Mag>LR conversion?

    Does anyone know if the Boyds' Tacticool CZ Magnum stocks can be converted in some way (or if they can fit at all) for a standard .22lr? I bought the magnum stock for my .17hmr but am thinking about selling the .17 and getting the same 452 Varmint in .22lr for better practice costs and...

    Post your camping and utility/survival rimfire

    I am interested in seeing what everyone else is using as a general use type of rimfire rifle. The sort that if you are out camping etc that you would grab first to carry in your pack or sling over your shoulder. I have a small and light Zastava CZ99 .22lr that has iron sights (soon to have a...

    New Winchester Australia 42gr 'Max' Powerpoint .22

    I just bought a little 50rd pack of this today for $8. It is being sold pretty hard over here atm. Apparently it is one of the first commercial ammunitions to be made in and exported from Australia (I'm not sure if it has been rolled out in US as well though). There are vids on youtube showing...

    Benefits of variable power vs. fixed power scopes?

    Gday I just wanted to know what sort of thought processes people were going through when deciding on whether to get a fixed or variable mil dot scope. In my mind, a variable scope is most likely going to be even more benefit for rimfires due to the close ranges they are going to be largely shot...

    Getting started with 'Tactical' rimfire shooting

    Hi, this is my first post on this forum, but I have read quite a few things on here over the last few months. I have been shooting recreationally for about 5 years now in all sorts of disciplines, from clay target to mucking about with my old mosin nagant, but now I am interested in getting into...
