    CCI Standard Velocity Study

    Re: CCI Standard Velocity Study I've had the same experience with the standard velocity CCI. The accuracy is basically very good but there will be flyers in the mix. CCI makes a "green tag" version for competion that is basically the same round but made to higher tolerances, and much...

    Henry .22 rfles

    Re: Henry .22 rifles I own the H001 and the H001M (22 magnum). Both are outstanding in every regard. Like any gun they have little ticks that can be overcome easily. Many have slightly loose forends and people just use a piece of elctricians tape to fix that. I shoot a lot of shorts in...

    Re: How Do I Modify A Savage Rimfire Accurtigger I'd be glad to stillbuster, but I haven't figured out how to post pictures here. Is there a tutorial somewhere? Teryx

    How Do I Modify A Savage Rimfire Accurtigger

    Re: How Do I Modify A Savage Rimfire Accurtigger Good plan Mark. The shimming does a lot to improve the feel. Those shims can be a pain to get in. I used sticky grease to hold them in the housing while I slid in the parts. If one of them moved, I could nudge it back with a scrap of shim...

    How Do I Modify A Savage Rimfire Accurtigger

    Re: How Do I Modify A Savage Rimfire Accurtigger On the rimfire accutrigger there are several things you can do to improve it. First is shimming the trigger and the sear in the housing. I used .010 brass shim stock to make the little washers. That gets the side play out and allows the...

    Savage thread protector?

    Re: Savage thread protector? Any "gunsmith" who can't make a thread protector sure as hell isn't going to thread my barrel! Barrel threading takes attention to detail to get it straight and aligned. Making a protector is a 10 minute job. A lot of people assume that a gunsmith is a...

    .22 dry fire

    Re: .22 dry fire While it is true that some rifles have been designed to prevent the firing pin from striking the chamber mouth, it is never a good idea to deliberately pound away at the firng pin and/or breach face. If the pin stops short of contacting the breach, it means that it is...

    17 mach2 or 17 HMR

    Re: 17 mach2 or 17 HMR It's all been said, but I'll cast my vote for the HMR. I think it is an awesone rimfire and a great addition to the 22LR and 22WMR. I have all three and use all three for different purposes. The HM2 is the one cartridge that I just can't find a niche for. It's a...

    Keeping 3/8" .22 rings from slipping?

    Re: Keeping 3/8" .22 rings from slipping? I've tried the angle locs a couple of times and both times just took them off. For me it was just too much monkey business trying to get them straight. All I use for rings now are Warne, even on my centerfires. teryx

    Why is target ammunition subsonic?

    Re: Why is target ammunition subsonic? Anybody ever see a supersonic jet with a round nose? There is a reason that high speed bullets have a spitzer shape to them. The 22 was never designed for stability at supersonic speeds. The bullet shape prevents it. It's not the fact of being...

    ?? about bolt knobs on Savages. DONE 5-23

    Re: ?? about bolt knobs on Savages. Update 5-21 I'm working on a build right now with a Savage. I removed the bolt handle from the bolt today and machined a new straight handle from 3/8 stainless rod. I machined a fluted aluminum knob to screw onto that. The result is first class, but I...

    Unhappy with my paint job, so......DONE!

    Re: Unhappy with my paint job, so...... I wouldn't topcoat that with any kind of paint. You can get spray on chip gaurd from auto paint stores (3M). It's basically a spray on polyurethane clear coat rubber. I don't think it is real shiney, but probably more than you would like. You...
