    H & R M12 range report

    A few years back I won an H&R M12 at an auction. I had a couple already, as well as an H&R M5200 (the "civilian" model in a walnut stock), but this one had a Viani rail on it and was cheap. I later discovered that it had a bedded action also. At any rate, I mounted 6-20 Weaver scope on it and...

    Winchester 52B range report

    I took my trusty Winchester 52B to the range last week and tried some Lapua Midas+ ammo in it. It seemed to like it. 52D on top, 52B on the bottom 50 yds, Midas+

    New Winchester 52D

    I shoot in a weekly .22 match at a local range. It alternates 50 and 100 yards each week. Right now, I alternate using a Remington 40X and a Winchester 52D on the weeks that we shoot 100 yards. Both do pretty well at that distance. I'm trying to entice my oldest son to join the match with me...

    Anyone able to identify these British barrels

    I won an auction lot that contain a number of barrels, including these two. They look like Parker Hale 1200 or M82 target barrels to me, but I just guessing. Anyone able to help me out?

    Sporterized 1903-A4

    I've been planning a new CMP vintage sniper match project utilizing a sported 03A4 that I got years ago. The rifle was very finely polished and blued, but the metal appears to be uncut...so no need for a new barrel, bolt, or scope mount. I've got most of the bits for the restoration. I 've...

    H&R M12

    Some months back I glommed an H&R M12 at an estate auction. It didn't come with sights, but did have a rare Ken Viani scope rail. The rifle looked to be in excellent condition. I had an issue with the rifle (trigger and/or bolt was dirty) which took a little time to sort out. During the...

    Remington 20 XBR scope

    Anyone know anything about these Remington 20X BR scopes? I found one at an online auction and put in a low bid on it. Probably won't get it. I've heard they are good scopes, but can't find much about them.

    Wifama wz 78

    I started shooting in a .22 "mini Palma " match a few months ago. This led me to go through the safe and get all my .22 rifle out and have a look at them. I haven't shot this Wifama yet, but here it is...

    Never seen this before...

    Shot the Vintage military silhouette match today. Was walking over to reset the pigs I had hit and noticed this. The shooter next to me had hit the pig right on the butt and spun it 90 degrees. It ended up balanced on the front leg and did not fall over. No score!

    BRNO No.4 barrel tuning screw?

    Last year I glommed a BRNO No.4 rifle in great shape. I've been getting it ready for a rimfire match and checked the barrel bedding to see if the barrel was free floating. I hadn't noticed before, but the stock is made to cradle the barrel near the end of the stock, so it is definitely not...

    Super Sniper scope?

    I glommed a scope at a recent estate sale. I was primarily interested in the rings (A.R.M.S. quick release), but the scope is actually fairly nice. The question is: what is this scope? There is no manufacturer or specifications (power, lens size, etc) marked anywhere on the scope. I think ...

    Griffin and Howe bull gun.

    A few years back I glommed an old 30.06 Griffin and Howe "bull gun". It was in pretty good shape and had a 28" heavy bull barrel. I wondered if 30.06 is pretty well dead as a target round. The rifle is set up for one of the old long tube, external adjustment scopes and I would like to give it a...

    Rifle and Scope reunited...

    Years ago I won a wonderful old target rifle at an estate sale of the estate of a WWII vet who had been an avid target shooter. That man's name was James A Norton. The rifle was set up for an old style long tube target scope, but one was not included. It did come with a very nice target sight...
