    pair of .22's

    Re: pair of .22's I can't comment on suppressors because I don't have one, but accuracy with my Savage Mark II BTV is stellar. Bravo, is that a factory barrel on your Savage?

    Fun .22 target idea's?

    Re: Fun .22 target idea's? Great ideas here, some of which I've tried and others (like the paintball on the tee) that I'm going to try real soon. In our part of the Southwest, it's easy to find rocks that "explode" nicely. With the Scouts, we like to stack 2" size rocks 4 high at 25 yds and...

    Question on which press would be best for me...

    Re: Question on which press would be best for me... I have been using a Dillon 550 since the 90's. I have loaded all my service rifle loads on it (.308, .30-06 and .223), as well as multiple other calibers. I don't trickle powder. Once I find my powder charge, I just run cases through the...

    50 BMG

    Re: 50 BMG Keep your eye on www.polygunbag.com. They often have .50 BMG bullets at low prices -- saves money while you are on the learning curve.

    Help choosing a .22

    Re: Help choosing a .22 Try a Savage Mark II BTV or one of the other Savage variants. I bought mine new for $335 couple of years ago from Dicks Sporting Goods, and that included a cheap, but serviceable scope. The rifle easily holds 1 MOA at 100 yards with Eley Sport and CCI Blazers. Does...

    Best "affordable" 22 out there

    Re: Best "affordable" 22 out there I have a Savage BTSV and a CZ 455. The CZ is prettier, but shoots at top form only with Wolf Target or SK Std Plus. The Savage shoots <span style="text-decoration: underline">everything</span> well, including cheap promotional brands (Remington...

    Rifle Scopes 1 scope 2 rifles?

    Re: 1 scope 2 rifles? +1. I have a couple of rifles that don't get out much, and it would not be cost-effective to mount a very high quality scope on each. I use the Leupold quick-release rings to mount to a picatinny base on each rifle, and have little problem returning to zero when I...

    F T/R Competition Action Length

    Re: Action Length I have a Palma rifle built on a long action Remington 700. It is every bit as accurate as any of my short action rifles. As others have pointed out, it is easier to tailor the COAL using the longer action, and if there is any downside to accuracy I have not been able to...

    air rifle trainer?

    Re: air rifle trainer? I use a Daisy 853 (single pump) and Avanti 888 (CO2) that I purchased from the CMP. Both of them shoot one-hole groups at 10 meters using Meisterkugeln pellets, and my total investment is under $400. I also use them to teach Boy Scouts and other new shooters. The...

    Who makes a replacement barrel for a 22LR 40X?

    Re: Who makes a replacement barrel for a 22LR 40X? I agree that it is hard to wear out .22 LR barrels. My Remington 540x was used for many years by a high school shooting team, and I have put many thousands of rounds through it myself. It still shoots extremely well. As others have said...

    Re: Savage mark II tr problems help!!! Sorry to hear about your problems. I have three Savage .22s, and my friend has two more that we use in training classes. Every one of them shoots better than .75 at 50 yards, even the very cheap sporter model we got at WalMart. My heavy barrel...

    Reactive Rimfire Target Ideas?

    Re: Reactive Rimfire Target Ideas? We take a 2x2, cut it into 2x2x2" blocks, and then spray paint them different colors. The blocks fly fly when hit, and they are cheap and easily replaceable. One challenge is to stack them 4 blocks high, and then try to knock them down one by one, without...
