    Marlin 917V accuracy

    Re: Marlin 917V accuracy I have four of those rifles and they all shoot great! We compete at 200 yards with ours in NRA High Power rifle matches. My match rifle has a Rifle Basix trigger and a BSA scope. It gave me a 499/500 and a perfect 500/500 score from prone with a bipod at 200. In the...

    Most consistently accurate 10/22 barrel?

    Re: Most consistently accurate 10/22 barrel? I've built a lot of those rifles and have tried most of the lower end barrels including Green Mountain, Shaw and some others. The Lilja's, Kidd and similar barrels are way out of my price range! I absolutely refuse to buy match ammo so that may...

    Custom Ruger Charger

    Re: Custom Ruger Charger That looks neat! I have a Charger but I never shoot it. With trifocal glasses, I just can't get into a position to see well. Took the long eye relief scope off and put a red dot on it but had the same issues. You may have prompted me to tinker with it some more! Flash

    1950's mossberg 151(a) barrel question

    Re: 1950's mossberg 151(a) barrel question Since the rifle has some personal history for you, it always has value. The truth is, however that by the time you repair that rifle, you will have WAY more it it than it's worth. Don't get me wrong, I have one exactly like it and I like them but...

    10/22 stock

    Re: 10/22 trigger I'm a big guy and wanted a stock that would fit me. I have three of the Fajin adjustable stocks and shoot them from bipods. I had problems with two of the stocks but a little Dremel action fixed one and taking the cheek piece adjuster mechanism apart to free it up fixed...

    How to quiet down a 10/22?

    Re: How to quiet down a 10/22? I watch guys shooting suppressed rifles at our range regularly. If a guy wants a suppressor, I'm all for it. For my money, though, I don't hear enough sound reduction to make it all worthwhile! I've fired suppressed pistols and the same goes there. A "bang!"...

    ruger 10-22

    Re: ruger 10-22 I took a belt sander and just touched the sides of my 10-22 factory magazines to make certain that no molding trash interfered with mag extraction. That helped a lot but since I changed to the Ruger BX-25 magazines, there are no issues about mag sticking at all. Flash

    Chime in on Adams & Bennett barrels for 10/22?

    Re: Chime in on Adams & Bennett barrels for 10/22? I'm ashamed to admit how many of those 10-22 rifles I've built up and they shoot extremely well at 200 yards. The guys I shoot with like to place clay pigeons on the 200 yard berm (actually 208 yards to the berm) to pick them off with 22...

    Which 22lr rifle to get?

    Re: Which 22lr rifle to get? The OP didn't state how old the son is but I read later that he's 8yo. The 10-22 is a winner but as a retired teacher, I feel that a semi automatic is a bad choice for a kid as a first gun. I've seen kids whip around to discuss the last shot not realizing that 9...

    need 10-22 advice/ help

    Re: need 10-22 advice/ help I'm ashamed to admit how many of the 10-22's I've built up. It's a sickness! The little critters will shoot great and it's real unusual to get one to foul up like that. I never free float the bull barrels because the heavy bull barrel is just too much to ask the...

    Richards Microfit Stock

    Re: Richards Microfit Stock It took a month for me to finish my Richards "Microfit" Stock. There were many mess ups in the inletting and they even neglected to inlet for the bull barrel of my 917V Marlin. In all, there was NOTHING "microfit" about the rough piece of lumber that I bought for...

    Tripod Front Rest

    Re: Tripod Front Rest I have that exact rest and filled the bag with lead shot. The lead is not legal for some competition but it works great. I also have owned two of the Hoppes (orange) rests and think very highly of them, as well. I went to bipods because in matches, you have very little...

    Question About Ruger 10/22 Tactical Autoloading

    Re: Question About Ruger 10/22 Tactical Autoloading I've built a bunch of long range .22's and the 10-22 is my favorite. I built one just like the one shown above. It's great! I don't like the sticky feel of the overmolded stock but other than that, it's an inexpensive way to build a great...

    I know i'm gonna catch hell for this one

    Re: I know i'm gonna catch hell for this one The H&R M12 is the most accurate .22LR rifle I've ever fired. It's been fired many times at 200 yards with Palma iron sights. The stock is clunky like a tree trunk but the sucker will really shoot! I rigged mine with a bipod and I recommend it...

    How do I get to 200yds. with rimfire?

    Re: How do I get to 200yds. with rimfire? The information the guys are sharing is right on the money! From our .22LR experience, to go from a 100 yard zero to a 200 yard zero requires 20 Minutes of "up" adjustment. In terms of a 1/4 minute scope adjustment, it is 77-80 clicks up from 100 to...

    17 HMR problems

    Re: 17 HMR problems We experienced that when our fairly new barrel became copper fouled. You can't scrub that stuff out and it takes about three days of Butches Bore Shine to remove it chemically. Just keep putting wet patches through it until no green comes out. I've offered to buy many .17...

    200 yard rimfire accuracy.

    Re: 200 yard rimfire accuracy. I'm a great fan of the .17HMR and have fired one perfect score in a 200 yard NRA match with it. I also shot a 499/500 at 200. My favorite pastime is shooting .22LR at 200 yards. My friend and I place clay pigeons on the 200 yard berm and pick them off with our...

    Savage 10fp LE1 opinions?

    Re: Savage 10fp LE1 opinions? I owned the Savage in .308 for many years. It had the old style trigger but it shot great! I did not like the plastic magazine follower but it never failed me. I sold it to a friend and he is still squeezing great scores out of it. It's a great rifle for the...
