    NRL.22 Scope Features that are most important

    I completely agree. That's why I prefer MOA. Same premises, different choice.

    Is it me the gun or the ammo

    Buying ammo on line is the only way I can get the good stuff. If you buy in small quantities shipping costs can eat you up. By the case shipping costs are just lost in the noise. But you will, of course, want to be really sure you want what you're gonna get, 'cuz you'll have plenty of it...

    NRL.22 Scope Features that are most important

    I don't shoot NRL so my question is, for me, just theoretical. But - why FFP? I have a Sightron S3 SFP with the MOA-H reticle, and all I have to remember is that the hashmark values are 2.0 moa at 24x and 1.5 moa at 32x. Do you use several different magnifications in an NRL match? If so...

    Cz 452 - what are typical mods to get the most out of it?

    I have 2 452's and 2 455's. My 452's are a full stock and an Ultralux. Sorry I can't be more definitive, but I don't shoot groups with these guns. (Actually, I don't much shoot groups at all. I shoot for score.) The Ultralux is my offhand iron sight gun and the FS has become kind of a safe...

    Cz 452 - what are typical mods to get the most out of it?

    I assume you want to use your 452 in Hunter class, so you have restrictions on weight, trigger pull and comb height. I'd just do a trigger job to get the pull down to the 2# minimum and maybe bed the action. For the trigger, there are several ways to do it, and you might want to have a look at...

    Rifle Scopes Torque Spec for Rails and Rings

    I've read recommendations by one or two scope manufacturers (sorry, can't remember who but think one was Vortex, one maybe Sightron) that said rings should not be torqued to more than 18 in.-lb. For rings that have 4 screws per ring I use 12 in-lb, if there are just 2 screws I use 15. For...

    Vudoo V22 cleaning rod diameter?

    I just ordered my Vudoo a few days ago, so don't have it yet. Can anybody tell me whether or not the bore guide for my Rem. 40x in .22 LR will work in the Vudoo?

    Ditto. Just ordered mine yesterday.

    Tactical Stocks

    That's what I've been doing too, but have sometimes wondered if I was doing it right. The world is full of things I don't know. Now there's one less. Thanks!

    Tactical Stocks

    I'll buy that. The "similar ergonomics" issue isn't important to me. I had to have my pacemaker buried in my right shoulder area and am afraid to subject it to recoil. So had to give up CF, but I do like the cool factor even though I'm older'n dirt. (FWIW, I really didn't mind giving up CF...

    Tactical Stocks

    OK, that makes sense. But why, then, notch the stock on a .22RF? Is it just to make it handle more like it's big brother, the CF? Or is it just 'cuz it looks cool?

    Tactical Stocks

    OK, I'm a real simpleton (my wife has known that for years). Why do you need a notch to do that? I'm 81 yrs. old and haven't shot prone for years 'cuz I have too much trouble getting up and down, but I don't remember having any trouble getting the rifle butt into my shoulder on a Garand.

    Tactical Stocks

    At the risk of sounding like a real dumbass, I have to ask: What's the notch in the bottom of a tactical stock for? A rear bag? I've shot benchrest ( just at a club level} for years, and my stocks ride the rear bag with no notch just fine.

    What’s your idea of the perfect Rimfire optic?

    With Burris Signature rings and 2 pr. of +/-20 inserts you gould get another 40 MOA. Perfect if you want to shoot a small bore howitzer!

    new remington 40x b heavy barrel 22lr build goin up

    I don't see how you could go wrong with any of these - they're all top-quality scopes. I'd rate the US Optics at the top, with the Nightforce in the middle and the Leupold in a close 3rd. But the gap is narrow and you pay more for USO or NF. You might also want to look at Sightron if you...

    Cz 455/457 drop in barrel, which one

    Me too. I haven't tried any other aftermarket barrels, but I recently put a shimmed Lilja barrel on my 455 Tacticool. This rifle was always a good shooter, but the improvement was really dramatic. Little bitty groups and scored 248/250 with 11 x's on the IBS 50-yd. BR target. How much of...

    Biathalon ammo for freezing temps?

    Before this thread I sometimes wondered what it could be about biathlon ammo that made it shoot better in low temps. I still do. But now I also wonder what it could be about a rifle barrel that'd make it shoot better in the cold. Re the ammo, there must be something different to make it cost...
