    Tikka 6.5 CTR any regrets not going 24”?

    I regret getting it in 20” as tikka factory (typical) barrels are very accurate but on the slower side. I bought it to shoot NRA silhouette comps as a factory rifle and I don’t have enough speed to generate enough ke to reliably knock down the rams with 140, 143, or 147 gr bullets. I ring...

    Weird marks on spent 5.56 casings

    Looks like HK brass from the 91/93 roller series or Larue’s “Xtraction” chamber in their AR‘s.

    Turning a O moa base into a 20 or 30 moa base ?

    Shim the rear to give you more elevation/distance. Better yet, get the right base to begin with and avoid problems with inconsistent precision and accuracy. By shimming, you are wedging parts and introducing stress. Will that stress affect your rifle? Same argument I have against shimming...

    Summit Build : follow my mental illness journey

    Be interesting to see if you can get the Kidd barrel into the summit action. My PWS summit action is so tight I cant get a Kidd Barrel in there even with a heat gun and cold barrel. Heat gun has always worked on every other 10/22 action I have. So far I've put two ruger and one fedderson...

    New member looking for Rimfire advice

    No rimfire match using steel targets allows any .17 cal. due to target damage. Availability of .17 ammo is also an issue as is the quality of it. You would be better off with a 22lr if you want to shoot matches. Savages are usually pretty accurate but the failure rate that I’ve seen with...

    Why not- how about we start a Project Appleseed thread for 2024

    Which day did you catch it on? 2nd day does not have a lot of instruction and is usually an AQT target grind with some misc refinement instruction here and there. Almost all the instruction on the pistolseed I attended was on the first day. It is geared towards newbies: how to hold single...

    Can you upgrade or build a custom 10/22 that shoots like a KIDD?

    Corrected spelling as your original text was not understandable…. Thanks for the info, nice to see Ruger up their quality game with a decently milled receiver finally. Pretty decent write up at rfc...

    T1x Upgrade or Replace witch Vudoo/Anschutz

    Anschutz magazine system for the 17xx 54 series rifles suck ass. Old outdated design from the middle of last century folded sheetmetal housing. Most ppl don’t know the housing is adjustable. Lots of tinkering to get it reliable if you have problems. Took me almost half a year to get the one...

    SOLD SWFA HD 1-6

    These are way, way better than the 1-4x that SWFA currently sells (I have both). Eye relief and image quality are pretty decent, Japanese manufacturing. No longer made, a bit heavy. Good luck with sale

    Suppressed 22 LR for 13 Month Old Daughter

    Buying something for future use 6-10 years from now? Not the path I would take as technology and other circumstances are always changing. Personally I would get something that is a known good performer today. Will CA be around in 5-10 years in case you find an issue with it when you finally...

    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    You guys welding stainless and galvanized should probably read this 2 page OSHA advisory: https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/publications/OSHA_FS-3647_Welding.pdf Hex 6 is no joke

    SOLD Factory CZ AT One Stock

    This is actually a pretty good deal. The stock you can order from boyds as aftermarket has hard angular plastic pieces on the hand grip and forearm areas that the stock CZ one does not have. The stock CZ is much nicer feeling as it is rounded over wood without angular edges.

    1/2 MOA at 100 yards, all day, every day!

    Wind keeps being brought up and I was assuming everybody knows how crosswinds affect bullet trajectories. That assumption is probably erroneous. Crosswinds have both a horizontal and vertical effect on the bullet path. There are several ballistic wind charts out there, some with conflicting...

    Kicking my own ass

    Try to find a Project Appleseed two day rifle clinic by you. Costs are very reasonable and quite frankly better, consistent training than I have received in some classes costing hundreds more https://appleseedinfo.org/schedulemap/ This organization is geared to teaching 3/4 positional...

    Kicking my own ass

    Have you had any formal sling training? Either way I am impressed with your left target sitting and prone groups. I quite enjoyed watching the mad minute style fast shooting. I incorporated a mad minute event into a monthly steel rimfire match I host. 10 each 2x6" steel flippers from...

    1/2 MOA at 100 yards, all day, every day!

    I have not as the local 100 yd indoor ranges are all member only and a good distance to drive. Not going to drop $$ on a membership I won’t use. I also got out of benchrest and silo shooting does not require extreme accuracy. A few years ago I did shoot a few 100 yard targets after an...

    1/2 MOA at 100 yards, all day, every day!

    Thanks for that Link Obx, I enjoyed reading that. Another good one that will interest the OP is http://www.varmintal.com/a22lr.htm To the OP, I was able to get some consistent .1 and .0 groups at 50 yards, indoors, shot off a rtb one piece rest with a good lot of center-x during tuner testing...

    Rifle Scopes 1x prism and magnifier

    And the company you represent is…..? Sorry, this post of yours doesn’t have any info on which product you are supporting, vortex or PA? I am curious to try a prism design as all my red dot aimpoints have an astigmatism meteor tail.
