    New Winchester 52D

    This has been quite a fruitful month for me with respect to Target .22 rifles. In addition to a Remington 40XB, I also got this Winchester 52D. It is US marked and supposed to include the CMP certificate. Also came with a set of Redfield Olympic sights and a hand stop. Stock is a little...

    New (to me) Remington 40X

    Over the weekend I won a Remington 40X in 22lr at an estate auction. It was a bit of a risk because there were only two pictures and a pretty sparse description. Price was pretty good. Fingers crossed...

    Westchester Trading Post 1903 rear sight micrometer

    I recently was perusing an auction and found several interesting items, including this gem. It is a 1903 Springfield rear sight micrometer, similar to the PJ O'hare tool, used to set the rear sight more precisely. This one was sold by the Westchester Trading Post. Apparently, back in the day...

    K31 front sight pusher

    I recently glommed some Swiss rifle parts at an online auction. One lot consisted of a K31 bolt and a front sight pusher for the K31 and K11. The thing that amazed me was the sheer size and heft of the front sight pusher. It was a pound and a quarter of machined steel.

    Changing the mounting rings on the Malcolm-HiLux 8x USMC sniper scope

    H & R M12 range report

    A few years back I won an H&R M12 at an auction. I had a couple already, as well as an H&R M5200 (the "civilian" model in a walnut stock), but this one had a Viani rail on it and was cheap. I later discovered that it had a bedded action also. At any rate, I mounted 6-20 Weaver scope on it and...

    New Winchester 52D

    I shoot in a weekly .22 match at a local range. It alternates 50 and 100 yards each week. Right now, I alternate using a Remington 40X and a Winchester 52D on the weeks that we shoot 100 yards. Both do pretty well at that distance. I'm trying to entice my oldest son to join the match with me...

    Anyone able to identify these British barrels

    Sporterized 1903-A4

    I've been planning a new CMP vintage sniper match project utilizing a sported 03A4 that I got years ago. The rifle was very finely polished and blued, but the metal appears to be uncut...so no need for a new barrel, bolt, or scope mount. I've got most of the bits for the restoration. I 've...

    H&R M12

    Some months back I glommed an H&R M12 at an estate auction. It didn't come with sights, but did have a rare Ken Viani scope rail. The rifle looked to be in excellent condition. I had an issue with the rifle (trigger and/or bolt was dirty) which took a little time to sort out. During the...

    Remington 20 XBR scope

    Anyone know anything about these Remington 20X BR scopes? I found one at an online auction and put in a low bid on it. Probably won't get it. I've heard they are good scopes, but can't find much about them.
