    Rifle Scopes Is this the new budget scope to beat? SWFA is on notice!

    Thanks for posting. I'd assume it's even more usable than your pic indicates, which looks like it'll be enough for short range ground shots. I was looking at the Talos BTR but this may be better

    Rifle Scopes Is this the new budget scope to beat? SWFA is on notice!

    How does it look at 3-4x? Is it usable in the woods and visible?

    Rifle Scopes Is this the new budget scope to beat? SWFA is on notice!

    How usable is the reticle on low mag? I'm considering one of these for a 22 that'll do a fair amount of small game hunting. Any hope of seeing it in the woods on ~3-4x

    Rifle Scopes Rimfire small game scope - Bushnell Nitro?

    I've been wanting a decent adjustable paralax scope for my 22. Rifle sees use plinking out to 200 yards and lots squirrel hunting. Currently it wears a Weaver 3-10 SFP Mil Dot scope which is great, but has fixed 100yd paralax. Not a problem in the woods but sucks for short range plinking...

    Rifle Scopes NightForce 2.5-10X42 with Mildot Reticle Something Special?

    I have an NXS 2.5-10x32 Mil Dot I considered the Mil-R reticle but it was difficult to read quickly. I imagine its easier to read at 14 or 15x. A plain old mil dot is enough for a general purpose scope, which is what I think the the 2.5-10 excels at being.

    CZ 452 - Accuracy problems and expectations

    Thanks, I Googled and learned. I slugged the bore in both directions. From the muzzle: tight getting it started and then it almost immediately opened up and was easy to push through. I encountered a slight increase in resistance just before the chamber. From the chamber: similar...

    CZ 452 - Accuracy problems and expectations

    Understood on the ammo. I'm not expecting match-grade results from sub-par ammo, but I am expecting better than 3MOA. I'm definitely no expert on crowns but I don't see any obvious problems here. Please tell me if you disagree.

    CZ 452 - Accuracy problems and expectations

    I haven't tried it with any true premium ammo. I don't have any on hand but I wouldn't be opposed to buying some for a fair test. Mean radius is a helpful tool for evaluating groups. Calculate the theoretical center of a group and then measure the radius, or distance from center, to each...

    CZ 452 - Accuracy problems and expectations

    Greetings all, Back when CZ brought out the 455 I decided to snag one of the last 452 Americans I could find in stock. It sat mostly unused except for the occasional squirrel hunt. I noticed that it never seemed to group quite as well as my 452 Lux. Last fall I had it cut to 18" and threaded...

    Suppressors QuietBore 22LR Titanium Suppressor Build Review -***Approved Form 1 Required***

    I've been using the CCI clean blue poly subs in my M&P 15-22 with no issues. Also shot 50 rounds of CCI Suppressor 45gr HPs with no malfunctions. These were surprisingly accurate. The Winchester 45gr solids functioned well but had garbage accuracy. Even from a 15-22

    Suppressors QuietBore 22LR Titanium Suppressor Build Review -***Approved Form 1 Required***

    The point is that the shim comes out with the baffles, and then unrolls so it doesn't matter how much buildup there is. Similar to the Sico rimfire can

    Suppressors QuietBore 22LR Titanium Suppressor Build Review -***Approved Form 1 Required***

    My Form1 was approved and I finished my can. I noticed that the baffles were quite loose in the tube with ~.010-.012" of diametric clearance. I cut a sheet of steel shim stock the length of the can and rolled it around the baffles. A little tricky at first to get everything assembled but...

    How did you do it? Mill? Drill press with a fixture? Other?

    So how did you cut the baffles? Some kind of jig and a drill press?

    I'm 3 weeks in to waiting on my stamp for the 22Ti can. Has anyone run 22Wmr or 17HMR through one of these?

    Rifle Scopes 10x riflescope poll...

    I agree with this. I have an NXS 2.5-10x32 and love it. I wish SWFA would make a mil/mil version of their ultralight scope. If I'm dreaming it would also have capped windage and exposed elevation turrets.

    Building a 223 precision AR...barrel?

    That's been my experience as well, except with 77 SMKs at 2790 fps. 750 yards very doable. Somewhere around 800-850 it falls off a cliff and loses all repeatability. This was at Arena which I believe is ~500 ft

    New build - WOA and 2-10 PST Gen 2 initial impressions

    Thanks for the report. I've been on the fence about ordering a WOA barrel but you pushed me over. Brownells has the 18" rifle gas version on sale now.

    For reference, the IMI chronos 2790 out of my 16" barrel. Magtech is a bit slower at 2720. Both average around 1.5 MOA 10 round groups from my standard chrome-lined barrel. All in all its more than adequate for 600yd silhouettes

    First Run and Gun, First Run and Gun Build

    I've been using IMI 77gr for any 300+ stages. It seems to have dried up so I'll be using Magtech 77 going forward. For under 300 I just use Wolf Gold 55.
