    40XB 22LF Stock Suggestions

    Careful....ARA specifically states 40X's are not factory class rifles. Learned just recently that my 52B is also not applicable. Basically any rimfire rifle with true hardcore target shooting pedigree (even left original) is an Unlimited gun. Dumb....but whatever....I get it. They want a...

    40XB 22LF Stock Suggestions

    The easy button option would be a chassis. Since they are solid single shot recievers ....putting them in traditional BDL style 700 SA stocks would require you use a bottom metal or a hinged floorplate with the spring and follower removed. Or having a custom stock fitted or made. Not sure...

    Win52B with Balvar 24

    Had a beautiful summer weekend. The plan is to get some 10 round mags so I can stay on the gun longer. Keep breaking position to reload the 5 round mag (plus putting one in the snout) doesn't help....trying to keep on it just that little bit longer. Keeping heat in the gun. Shooting on the...

    What Anschutz is this?

    That's just an adjustable objective (AO) parallax. Versus having side parallax. AO has been around forever.

    Accuracy of CZ 457 Varmint 22LR non MTR

    Even if your 457 varmint sucks. Lilja and couple others offer drop in barrels. So the chase isn't over by a long shot.

    Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

    You'd think the POTUS himself would want the actual investigation made public and concluded....with all the layers of incompetence outed/punished. Not to mention the shooter deeply delved into.

    Unlike Honey Bees, Hornets sting, and sting, and sting….

    I would be looking for every hollow point subsonic round made.

    Long range 22 LR

    Not a CZ 457 or 455. They have easy to swap out barrels. You can convert to .22lr, .22WMR, .17M2, or 17HMR with just a corresponding barrel and magazine if going to the magnums from standard. You could probably find factory barrels on gunbroker. And Lilja makes aftermarket ones.

    Deal price on b14r heavy barreled action

    Not even remotely close. If you saved $300 on the getting the Stainless at the dramatic discount. Just go buy a KRG bravo. You'd still be ahead of the guys who bought carbons and chrome moly steel versions.

    Win52B with Balvar 24

    First real actual benchrest run with the 52B! Shooting it legit for a score. Wind was gusting 6-8mph at half to quarter value. Temp was 77°F. We had multiple tornados pass through the area last night. So glad to get outside today.....especially when its not hot as balls. Rifle was pretty...

    Long gong

    @lash I've often thought.....have a event held were the stages are set up. Stage descriptions are stapled nearby. And the shooters shoot the stages at their leisure and repeat them even if they wish (given they aren't slowing down others' participation). Kinda like walking a round a golf...

    Long gong

    I personally think Lapua Long Range exists simply because they can take ammo they already produce that doesn't meet the Center-X specified criteria, and sell it at a 10% - 15% upcharge. Lol It's a slap in the face of the consumer that ammo is being clearly bottleneck'd for scarcity. But they...

    New Game LR Varmint

    You did a great job on the targets. Wish I could afford those fancy jobbers.

    Hunting & Fishing HOA pond improvements

    I read an article somewhere where the Minnesota DNR would take like 10 railroad ties making criss cross pair style frames. Kinda like Lincoln Logs. Slap some chain on them with some cinder blocks and push them overboard. They'd drop dozens in doing long rows of them to create structure. I...

    New Game LR Varmint

    The beer can challenge is quite.....well.....challenging single stage or event. My buddy has shot it like 5 or 6 times now and hasn't completed it. The 300yd beer can target is pretty damn small. Its pretty doable to clean 100, 150, and 200 yard plates. The 250 and 300 usually eat up rounds...

    New Game LR Varmint

    Been busy with work.....also got forgetful. Here's the schedule for this year's Beacon Hill Long Range .22 matches in Volga, SD going forward for 2025. Also a good bump for eyeballs for people looking for a new game to play at their home ranges or for area people looking for a match to try. I...

    Bergara B14R - KI Precision vs Bergara Heavy Barrel

    I have heavy stainless and the carbon. I don't think the stainless offers any improvement in terms of general group size. It's just whether you want the added weight and added length. Not saying bergara makes shit barrels. Or accuracy is piss poor. Just saying its punch is commensurate to its...

    M40 needed a Greenie

    Maybe scuff it lightly with a scotch bright pad and take the shine down. 🤷 I know in model kit building they use a spray called dullcoat to give paint a duller finish.
