    If You Could Only Have 5 Guns What Would They Be?

    They'd all be .22's.

    Optics?

    I have 2 Sightron SII 36X's (one of them a now-discontinued Big Sky), and 3 Weaver T-36's. They are all excellent scopes, but sadly Weaver is no more. Optically, I see no difference between the Weaver and the Sightron, but I don't like the numbering system on the turrets Weaver went to a few...

    Looking for Dirt Cheap Rangefinder

    Thanks for your help, guys. Yes, even you, Mike! ? The search is over; I ended up buying alabusa's Athlon. Spent twice as much as intended, but I think I'm getting a LRF that's twice as good, too.

    Looking for Dirt Cheap Rangefinder

    OK, Mike. You win. I misread your second post, I guess. And I DO have a sense of humor -- it just didn't show that time, and I hope you'll accept my apology., Amazon.com has a lot of cheapie rangefinders, but I really don't know if any of them are worth having at any price.

    Looking for Dirt Cheap Rangefinder

    Thanks, Strykervet, but that's a lot more rangefinder than I really need. Or am willing to pay for.

    Sarcasm does not become you, Mike. I asked an honest question and was looking for a straightforward answer.

    Looking for Dirt Cheap Rangefinder

    I''m thinking about buying a rangefinder that's really cheap and not completely crappy. I don't hunt anymore, so reflectivity off an animal's hide doesn't matter. About all it'd be used for is occasionally placing targets from 25 to maybe 300-350 yards. Magnification doesn't matter, but a...

    CZ455 Weakening Extraction

    Is the problem that the extractors don't withdraw the spent case from the chamber, or that they don't get ejected from the action? If the latter, my guess is that the extractors are doing their job but the ejector isn't. And vice-versa,

    Weighing ammo

    I'm not sold on weight sorting ammo, but 2 buddies in my shooting group swear by it, and they are very good shooters indeed. Here's the catch, though. They say a normal powder scale accurate to only 0.1 gr. lacks the precision needed to make weighing work. Both guys use Gempro scales accurate...

    Old rimfires?

    That's a lovely old rifle. You don't see many that old in this condition. I'm green with envy!

    Some 22 LR Trajectory Charts

    I'm not doubting your numbers at all, just wondered what bc was used in your calculations. The .172 value I mentioned came straight off the Lapua web site. FWIW, your chart was pretty much on the nose for my rifle at 100 yes, with a 50-yd zero. Haven't checked it against any other distances.

    Some 22 LR Trajectory Charts

    I think your chart is terrific. I shoot Lapua Center-X (mostly) and per their web site the bc for all their .22 LR ammo is .172. Is this the value you used in your calculations for Lapua ammo? I see other references here to much lower bc's for different ammo, but I'd expect pretty much all SV...

    NRL.22 Scope Features that are most important

    I've just ordered an Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x50 FFP MOA. I'll need to get lens caps, flip-up if they're available. Can anybody tell me the OD's of the objective and eyepiece lenses? For some reason Athlon didn't see fit to include this info in their specifications table.
