    Which scout/patrol rifle

    I put together a Ruger American Ranch in 7.62x39 for one of my boys. Nice little rifle for what it is. It'd be an outstanding truck gun. Put a Vortex diamonback HP 4-12 on it. Shoots steel cased walmart ammo inside 4" and takes mini-30 mags. Muzzle is threaded for those of you living in free...

    Tactical stock options for 10/22

    Haven't tried the Titan yet but I plan on it. My next build is set up for the rear hold down that goes with the Titan. Anyway, i have the Mcree and love it. Went with a buffer tube, a Magpul CTR, and an MPA vertical grip. Had to improvise on mounting the grip but its solid now. Take this wth a...

    Gunsmithing Ruger 10/22 Stock and Bedding ?

    I can recommendend Randy a Conneticut Precision Chambering. He's the best and very reasonable for a full tune up. Piller the take down bolt, glass bed the action to include about the first 2 inches of barrel, and float it the rest of the way out. You'll blow your friends away with what looks...

    Ruger 1022 heavily modified

    The Kidd receiver is top notch but you can have your Ruger receiver machined for the rear hold down. Per my gunsmith, he actually machines them very slightly different depending on if you are going with the Kidd rear hold down or the Victor rear hold down-Norcal911

    School me on vertical grips

    I really have no idea what i'm talking about as far as long range, terms, teaching, etc but to me.....the forward bulge on the right side of the MPA isolates my trigger finger (I'm right handed) so i get a much more pure trigger press straight to the rear. It just feels right. Tried it on my...

    Youth training setup

    Not sure where to go on that. I put a vertical MPA on it and its great. Had to build a little kydex spacer and do some grinding but its solid now. The MPA is pretty meaty.....ie i think you could shape it down to kid size but i don't think it would reduce the reach. It is typical AR stuff so...

    Youth training setup

    I built a 10/22 and put it in a Mcree chassis with an AR ass end on it. Not sure if you are open to a semi but it handles well and fits all but the smallest of shooters. Very pleased with it. Extend it out and i frequently carry it squirrel hunting. Probably a bit heavy for the youngsters to...

    Mcree's Precision 10/22 Review

    Great review.....not much to add. Got mine in the mail yesterday. Very nice piece of hardware. Fit is so precise, my slightly canted V block wouldn't let the action sit down properly. Fixed that pretty quickly. Haven't shot it yet. I'm no gunsmith but i don't think the kidd rear hold down is...

    22 spinner target

    Regarding spinners........I see lots of people trying for multiple hits and getting a full spin. Isn't there a chance of hitting that thing flush and getting something coming back? Its RF....i get it, not the most dangerous thing around but i frequently have kids on my range. Any thoughts...

    Garrow development 17hmr

    I've actually been having pretty good luck with the CCI 17 grain TNT (not the green). i can usually get it under 3/4" at 50 sometimes approaching 1/2" and not a lot of fliers. The TNT Green shoots like crap for me. My CZ digests most things pretty well but the 17 grain TNT is by far the best and...

    Garrow development 17hmr

    I'm curious as well. Done a ton or research but no experience. Looks promising. Got a 452 varmint in 17 that's a laser but i'm way more proficient with an AR and sometimes the squirrels are so thick an auto would be an asset-Norcal911

    Subsonic hunting ammo

    Thumbs up on raiusing the bolt, i've had that done to both of mine and it never short strokes even on the match stuff. I run a buffer though, just in case the kids slap some hi-velocity in without me seeing. Not sure the bolt really ever makes contact back there but just in case-Norcal911

    Subsonic hunting ammo

    Recently spent a day squirrel hunting (northern california ground squirrels). Great day. Mostly walking, some prone. Ranges were 5 yards to about 200 yards. Took my vudoo with Wolf MT, and my CZ452 17hmr. The wolf seemed fine out to about 50 yards. Beyond that, i was connecting but not getting...

    10/22 with Eley Flat Point Ammo

    I have 2 x 10/22's that have both fed it fine but i'm talking about a really small sample size here, probably less than 100 rounds. 1 has a GM barrel, 1 has a kidd. I don't make a habbit of feeding black box to my 10/22's, usually stick to CCI standard or SK standard/wolf MT. I did recently do a...

    22 chassis with extremely short LOP

    I used the blackhawk axiom when my knuckleheads were tiny although i'm not sure its any shorter than a cricket, those things are tiny. The axiom is not without its drawbacks though, its super flexy. I pillared it up front and bedded it at the rear shelf where the 10/22 receiver rests. I had a...

    Best aftermarket barrel for ruger 10/22

    Agreed on the receiver but CPC (and I'm sure plenty of others) can and will thread your barrel into the receiver and do away with what I think is the weak link in that V block. That along with a rear hold down and a floated barrel I think could lead to some suprisingly small groups. I've got the...

    Best aftermarket barrel for ruger 10/22

    I've had a Ruger 10/22T barrel, a full profile GM ss, and a kid ULW. They all shot well and about in that order with the kid being the best. They all pretty much fed everything and liked wolf MT. I am very much thinking about buying a top notch barrel (Krieger, lilja, barlein, etc) and having a...

    Need help refining 22lr choice

    I can't comment on the Annie, never even held one but I think their reputation is enough. I can comment on the Vudoo. Finest firearm I own. Shoots rediculously well. Customer service is top notch. Feels like a "big boy" rifle in every aspect. Magazines are perfect. Did I mention it flat out...

    Testing Ammo

    I'm just testing at 50 right now and only going with 4 x 5 shot groups in the intetest of time. It lets me divide up the ammo into 2 groups......save for dad or bulk-let the kids shoot it. After that's all complete and i get some truely premium ammo, i'll increase the range, start getting drop...

    Testing Ammo

    I'm about the furthest thing from an expert but here's what I did with my V22: 2 x boresnake, 10 fouling rounds, 4 x 5 shot groups. I think consistency is probably more important than the actual routine as long as you are reasonable. I haven't tested any truely top notch ammo but i've had pretty...
