    "The Polished Knob"?

    I used him for CZ 457 bolt knob a while back. I tried to get in touch to get another one done up, but I didn't hear back so after a few weeks, I moved on to Phoenix Custom Rifles.

    Very disappointed

    I've got a 600 Alpha that shoots the 175 FGMM at about 3/4 MOA; that was the first ammo and groups I shot with the rifle. It shoots the 178 ELDX Federal ammo right around MOA, but it seems like that's a fairly mild loading. That's all the factory ammo I've tried so far. The stock on that...

    Entry level precision .22?

    Find your local CZ dealer and see if they can order one for you. Mine has had more CZ .22's in the shop in the last 3 or 4 months than I've seen in about a year. Gunbroker isn't always a terrible way to go either, assuming you've got an FFL that does transfers for a reasonable price.

    Entry level precision .22?

    I dipped my toes into precision rimfire with a 457 Provarmint and a 5-25 Strike Eagle. It's been a great rifle out of the box and it shoots extremely well. The stock is very functional except the comb height is a little low, the trigger was very nice out of the box and the action on my rifle...

    Who has upgraded their 10/22?

    I had Kidd build basically what you were looking to do in your original post, almost all Kidd parts including their ultra lightweight barrel. I used a Brimstone tuned factory trigger to keep the cost somewhat in check. It wears a Vortex PST 1-6 and is about perfect for a walking around small...

    Rifle Scopes Elcan 1-4x vs Acog+RMR, help me out.

    I've got an ACOG and an offset that I shoot in our local 3 gun matches occasionally. I end up using the RMR a lot more than the ACOG given the ranges we typically shoot. I find I do a lot less (as in no) fishing for the dot with the offset vs. a 12:00 mount. I haven't put in the reps to get...

    Good fast powder for 77gr SMK out of 10.5" AR?

    The highest velocities I've run in my MK12 clone were with TAC; however, the temperature sensitivity was a no-go for me. Varget has historically been my go to in that rifle, but it's slow. I was getting about 2,625 fps with 77 SMK at its top end accuracy node. I'm finalizing loads now using...

    Seating depth testing with lower charge

    I've been doing some research on this myself. I saw a an article posted on Berger's website that suggested they now recommend using the seating depth testing first and then moving into a ladder. Of course, I can't find a link now that I want to share the article. Precision Rifle Blog also...
