I was curious how tight my action was so I measured some areas and was surprised at what I found. The clearance between the bolt and the receiver is right around .0005". No typo, it really is that tight. The bolt face clearance is .009"and the bolt face recess is .035, so the headspace is...

I went over to Fleet Farm today to get some material to repair some burst pipes and decided to look at the sporting goods section. To my horror the shelves were almost barren of ammo and the gun racks were almost empty as well! There was a bunch of shotgun ammo, but everything else was gone...

I recrowned my barrel today. I know, I know, most of you will ask why. The answer is simple. I was starting to lose faith in my factory crown. It looked fine a while back, but I never really truly looked at it real close or from straight on. I always figured it was good because my groups...

I took my wife to the range today since it was my birthday. She had her 10/22 and I had my 455. We had fun and managed to stay dry thanks to the nice pavilion over the firing line. The wind was cold though....BRRR. There were about a dozen people there shooting, so it was loud, but we all had...

The optical zero was at the far left end of the windage range and I only had 2 minutes of wind left. I did not notice until I changed my shooting direction and tried to adjust for a left wind.....couldn't do it. I called Hawke and they said send it back and they will look at it. The customer...

I stuck some 3/16 braided rope in my springs to get rid of the twang. It worked! It looks completely stock and cost me all of 5 cents. No ugly shrink tubing.....YUCK...and I didn't have to take the springs off. I cut it to 3", melted the ends and stuffed it in there. It can't fall out because...

These are the jaws I use for making the hollow points. They grip well without damaging the bullet and they don't squeeze the rim. The on on the left was shot into a jug of water and the one on the right was shot into a half frozen jug of water. Both were hollow point. The far right is...

I picked this up when I got into airgunning. I don't know if anyone here has seen it or uses it. It is quick and you don't have to carry a card or chart. Just range and dial.

I have been on the hunt for a rifle range where I can wring out my CZ 455. I just called the Eau Claire National rifle club, since they have 600 yards, and they said high power only. Does anyone know where I can go to shoot longer ranges near Colfax, WI? I am looking for more than 300 yards...
