    Remington 541T rebarrel/stock options

    I'm with 3309. My 541 shot well with decent ammo and spending 700.00 for a tenth in anything less that a full on competition rifle is, IMHO, not worth doing. Also you now have a rifle that has value other than just being a shooter. A re-barrel will gain little in accuracy and lose a lot in...

    Anschutz 1710 Comp XLR a viable alternative?

    Great groups at 250... Have you tried CenterX for your 1710? Lapua and some SK shoot better that Eley in my rifles...

    Anschutz 1710 Comp XLR a viable alternative?

    On a 1712 I shot Silhouette with I took a self tapping round head 1/2 inch screw and drilled it right into the top of the factory mag release. Left about 3/8" or so sticking out of the factory piece. Not pretty but worked perfectly and IMO looked every bit as good as the "angle iron" extended...

    Anschutz 1710 Comp XLR a viable alternative?

    I have the same rifle that grauhanen shows in his post (a different color stock) and it will shoot just about anything subsonic inside a .5 and with some lots of mid range ammo - SK Standard and just about any CX it does .3-.4s.

    What's very good accuracy for 22LR

    Get a decent rifle, consistent ammunition, practice and learn to read the wind. Don't worry with how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. :cool:

    What's very good accuracy for 22LR

    After carefully reviewing all 71 of the standard accuracy criteria your group shows a 83/100 final score. This puts your rifle at 94 percentile on the UncleMerlinBS standard testing ladder. Congratulations and good shooting!

    Where to get ammo now post

    I got an email this morning for CenterX for 12.95. Now shows out of stock but... I may have missed the Out of Stock disclaimer this morning when I first got the email..... Not sure.

    Bergara with aftermarket barrel??

    Valid point on the lock time although it is somewhat marginalized with bench shooting. One of the reasons I shoot an Anschutz for smallbore metallic silhouette is the quick lock time. Still looking for actual results to do the apples to apples thing.

    Bergara with aftermarket barrel??

    Thanks for your opinion. Anyone besides KoD have any testing results?

    Bergara with aftermarket barrel??

    Damn what a pretty back yard..... I could get used to that.

    Bergara with aftermarket barrel??

    I'm not going to disagree that the overall experience of a rifle that costs triple of the Bergara is not superior. What I am hoping to determine is whether the expensive actions are the accuracy difference or the barrels make the difference. I fully appreciate everyone's opinion but I still hope...

    Bergara with aftermarket barrel??

    Understand what you're saying... But... ;) I still am very curious as to just how much of a quality difference - real or perceived - the B14 action and the Vudoo action have. The only way I can see to check it out is with barrels of comparable quality.

    Bergara with aftermarket barrel??

    Thanks for the link. Good read as KoD always seems to go the extra mile with any rifle he shoots. I understand what you are saying but my point is I want to see how the Bergara performs with a proven quality barrel to be able to give it a fair(er) comparison to the Vudoo and RimX. Or... how...

    Bergara with aftermarket barrel??

    Just curious as to whether anyone had replaced the Bergara barrel with a true topline target barrel like a Shilen Ratchet or a Benchmark. If so what were the results?
