    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    Ordered one as soon as my distro had some in stock a few weeks ago and received on 5/15. Zero issues on the first trip to the range. Factory trigger. Shoots CCI SV well at 50yds with suppressor. Tried a group from a 12yo box of Eley just for S&Gs - the lube was dried - and it shot well also...

    Rifle Scopes My arken 6-24 just got here

    LOL! If we can find someone to shoot it prone, we can find out how well this scope withstands the sudden decel of impacting a forehead. Come to think of it, I also have a 500 S&W Encore and/or a friend's 444 Marlin Contender...

    Gunsmithing Anyone have ideas on how to repair scratches on Mauser action?
