    260 Vs. 6.5 Creedmore

    A few years ago I chose 260 over 6.5C for my AIAT. The rifle has a large firing pin and from the research I had done back then, it seemed that people were getting pierced primers with 6.5C but not with 260. A few years ago it was pretty easy to find prefit AI barrels in 260 but apparently not...

    Accuracy International AT vs. AT-X, help me decide **Update: bought an AT-X, first range trip added**

    They have also shaved some metal on the action to make it lighter. Does this lighter action along with it being bolted vs bonded, makes this inherently less “bombproof”? I understand that this isn’t really a concern in competition shooting and the benefits outweighs the potential loss in...

    Accuracy International AT vs. AT-X, help me decide **Update: bought an AT-X, first range trip added**

    I understood the action has been enhanced on the AT-XC. Also the barreled action isn’t bonded to the chassis anymore. Do these 2 points also apply to AT-X or only to AT-XC? One of the major/differentiating feature that really attracted me to the AIAT was the bonded action.

    Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

    I have some minor feeding issues with my Vudoo. It's a complete rifle in a Bravo chassis. Sometimes the bolt doesn't feed a round. Instead it goes over the round, puts a big dent on the round, and then it get stuck. I'm doing my best to load the mag correctly (watched the video). This happens...

    Anschutz 1710 Comp XLR a viable alternative?

    Thanks for the info. Can you confirm that the action is the standard sporter 54 action and that the new trigger will be compatible with 1710/1712 rifles? FYI I do have a 1710 HB with side safety that feeds and ejects flawlessly. It has single stage trigger that I've set at 10-12 oz and wouldn't...

    Love the Bergara BXR

    How do you like that Riton X3 Conquer scope? I have the same. I haven't used it much but I'm still debating if I like it or not. I do like the floating dot but I find that the reticle is a bit too thick.

    Bergara vs. vudoo?

    The Vudoo IS chambered for Lapua. I knew that when I bough the gun. That was also a selling point for me. I knew that I could get some center X at $10/box (last year), and it would shoot. No messing around with ammo testing.....And that's what I got. A very accurate gun with Center X. I tried...

    Anyone else truly love the Browning SA22 (semiautomatic breakdown)

    I bought a new Japanese one last year. I haven’t shot it much but it’s not 100% reliable. I also have mixed feelings about the cas ejection to the bottom. I mounted a scope (proprietary mount and rings). I haven’t shot it for accuracy, but it seems to shoot in the 3/4” at 50y with mid grade...

    Where to get ammo now post

    I passed on the good deal on the sk match. I guess I feed like I have enough ammo at this point. I’m also seeing more 22lr availability. Could it be the shortage is ending?

    Where to get ammo now post

    I was able to score 20 boxes of Eley Target from Champion. I didn't need to buy more for my personal shooting. With the ammo shortage, I'm happy to have other accurate rimfires besides the Vudoo that will not correctly feed/shoot Eley ammo. The Vudoo isn't going anywhere as it's my most accurate...

    SURELY - my new PCP air rifle

    Is that a muzzle break? I don't recall ever seen one of those on an air gun. I suppose it must be pretty loud. Any reason you didn't go with a conventional silencer?

    SURELY - my new PCP air rifle

    Nice gun. Thanks for sharing. I thought my next PCP would be a Delta Wolf, but now I'm hesitating. How does it group at 50Y?

    Savage 223 + CDI BDM and nosedive issue on 8th round

    I think I've found the issue. 2 of my mags (MDT and the new accurate mag) seem to have an issue. I'm able to manually do a nosedive. On my other accurate mag (front polymer sanded), I simply can't push the front of the round down to have nosedive. When I push the front of round down, I can't...

    Savage 223 + CDI BDM and nosedive issue on 8th round

    The rifle is a Savage 223 in a B&C Medalist stock send to CDI precision to get a BDM. I’m having some nosedive issue and have no idea on what’s going on. I have three 10 round mags and all exhibit some sort of nosedive problem. One MDT, one Accurate Mag that I’ve filed the front polymer to be...

    Best precision rifle available on a budget

    Haha it seems we have the same rifle...well almost. Same Savage from Cabela's, B&C stock with CDI DBM, and I just put a Shilen SM in 223 Wylde on it. My first center fire rifle was a Savage 10 in 308. I shot it a lot before putting a custom barrel. It ended up having extraction issues after a...
