    Anyone actually shoot an 18” barreled .224 Valkyrie at 1000?

    I’ve seen plenty of YouTube videos and read plenty of range reports from people shooting .224 Valkyries with 22 and 24 inch barrels at 1,000 yards, and I’ve seen the same of people shooting 18” barreled rifles at less than 1,000, but no 18 inchers at 1,000. I’ve had my 18” Savage MSR out to 600...

    Barrel and trigger choice for straight-pull 10/22 build.

    I’m starting a 10/22 build based on a Volquartsen/Summit straight-pull receiver. I’m trying to build something that at least superficially resembles a toned down biathlon rifle. I’m new to 10/22 builds and the choices of barrels, stocks, and triggers are truly bewildering. Leaving stocks aside...

    Stabilizing 69gr .223 in 1:9 twist barrel

    This topic has been covered extensively but I have a specific question that I haven't seen answered anywhere. I know that slower twist rifles often won't stabilize the heavier and longer .223 bullets. I have a Savage Axis with a 1:9 twist and yesterday I shot a couple groups at 25 yards with 69...

    Helping a friend pick an entry level precision rifle

    I have a friend looking to buy his first precision rifle. He thinks I'm an expert because I've shot out to 600 yards a few times. I am clearly not an expert, but I do have an RPR in .308 and a Bergara HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor and I've been able to shoot some nice groups with them. I would still...

    Barrel break-in and ammo testing Bergara HMR 6.5CM

    Can I start shooting groups with various types of ammo to see what my new rifle likes while I'm going through the barrel break-in procedure recommended by Bergara? I have a new HMR in 6.5CM and I'd like to shoot a few to sight in my scope then start shooting groups right away. I don't want to...
