    Zastava Z99 (Rem Model 5/Charles Daly X) .22lr mod

    I have a little Zastava .22lr that I bought for $300AUD and am looking at making some modifications to it in order to improve the looks and ergonomics so I can do a bit better in local bench rest comps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD4c2pnD1SI&feature=BFa&list=PL978AF38F6F58C4D9 <EDIT mine...

    Bell & Carlson Stock Warranty, AMAZINGLY GOOD!!!!

    Re: Bell & Carlson Stock Warranty, AMAZINGLY GOOD! Apologies for the highjack, but I read your reply hogtooth and thought how the hell will a stock pack fit with the butt hook? Is there enough retail behind it?

    Bell & Carlson Stock Warranty, AMAZINGLY GOOD!!!!

    Re: Bell & Carlson Stock Warranty, AMAZINGLY GOOD! Yeah I ordered the 'Light Tactical' variant. Not sure exactly what model it is as that is all it was listed as on the site I purchased it off. It is the one with a fairly slim grip, butt hook and modest sized forearm. In black of course...

    Bell & Carlson Stock Warranty, AMAZINGLY GOOD!!!!

    Re: Bell & Carlson Stock Warranty, AMAZINGLY GOOD! I just purchased a B&C light tactical off the back of this great review of the stock and the company. I will be able to make my own judgements once I get it, but it seems to replicate the performance of a hs precision, but without the gorilla...

    posWalnut stocks on tactical rifles?

    I have been looking at stocks to upgrade the pos hogue on my 700 tactical .223, and while the aics looks great, I can't justify it at the moment. BUT a 2nd hand 700 bdl deluxe walnut stock is for sale at a reasonable price. Would I be best upgrading to that now and save for the aics in the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns .38 Spec Short Barrel Gold Dot

    I feel dumb for even asking this question, but I have seen a few videos showing the performance of the 135gr Gold Dot Short Barrel from 2 inch snub nose revolvers and just wondered what the performance would be like from a 3 inch? What about full size service 4 inch barrels? Would the round open...

    Rapid bolt shooting techniques

    Has anyone shot targets accurately and rapidly, from multiple positions, at multiple ranges? For example, shooting a target 3x at 75yards offhand, then 150+ yards from some sitting position, then a target at 200-300 from prone (all within say 60secs)? I just wanted to know techniques and...

    700 SPS tactical .223 - optics and loadings

    Re: 700 SPS tactical .223 - optics and loadings All great replies thanks. I think I might email the importers and get a quote for those vortex pst scopes... And those bullet suggestions are pretty surprising in the wide range of projectile weights used. I guess it just depends on each...

    700 SPS tactical .223 - optics and loadings

    Re: 700 SPS tactical .223 - optics and loadings Ok cool beans! Yes I am planning on replacing the stock, but that will likely be down the track some time. I am really wanting to spend the rest of my coin on a quality scope atm and worry about extras later. And the SS scopes look like the real...

    700 SPS tactical .223 - optics and loadings

    So I just put the deposit down on a new .223 sps tactical with a one piece rail and leupold 30mm rings. I cant decide on scope options though so wanted to hear what other people have gone with? This rifle will be used primarily as a range rifle 90% of the time at 100-200yds but hopefully up to...

    SH Rimfire Comps

    I'm having trouble printing the targets. I'm wondering if there is an issue with US and Australian paper sizes being different? PS - I went to the range the other day and shot good ammo through my $250 Zastava .22 sporter in a bench rest comp against 2 CZ sporters, a CZ Varmint and a $1000+...

    'Tactical' .223 on a budget

    Re: 'Tactical' .223 on a budget Thanks for the replies ppl. First of all, I just wanted to say that where I live in Queensland, there is only 1 or 2 gunsmiths, so I want to have to do as little as possible to the rifle that requires smithing (I am seriously considering moving to the US to...
