    Rimfire vs Centerfire Shooting Technique

    To me, they are - in the context that I have used them for many years to better my ability to judge range while hunting.

    Rimfire vs Centerfire Shooting Technique

    Bubble levels. When my wife started shooting subsonic 300BLK at longer ranges, I told her she was canting the rifle and causing misses. I could easily see it standing behind her. It went like this: "You're canting the rifle" "No I'm not" "Yes you are" Old Married Folks. LOL So, I put a...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44 unrepairable

    It is sad when you think about it - we are shocked when we receive the service that ought to be expected.

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44 unrepairable

    Update on this thread. Sent the scope back to Zeiss on 9/10 via USPS Priority Mail. It finally arrived at Zeiss on 9/28 - it sat at the Cincinnati distribution center, ten miles from its destination, for 13 days. After the 10am delivery, Zeiss sent an email at 2pm stating they had received it...

    Looking for a 22 steel target

    Another vote for shootingtargets7. Com. I have their KYL rack and several of the 3/16" steel which reacts well to 22s at range. Consider marking the stand "22lr" or somesuch... Pic is from my flooded range after the recent hurricane, but you can see the 22lr steel is marked.

    After seeing these positive responses, I am confident this will be handled well.

    I have several Burris scopes, and while I have never needed to send one in it is very good news that they will also make things right.

    I did. They didn't reply, so it is a throw-it-over-the-fence-and-see-what-happens situation. Thought perhaps someone here had some experience in this direction.

    Thanks! Having never dealt with their CS before, I wasn't sure what to expect.

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44 unrepairable

    Had this Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10 on a M700 in 308 and had been quite happy with it for introducing friends and family to shooting steel at my range. Think I bought it around 2013. Picked it up recently and thought "The lenses really need cleaning" - but whatever is wrong with it is internal. It...

    Rifle Scopes Optics Planet SUCKS

    Correct; absolutely false. Some FFLs still insist that other FFLs are trying to BS them when they ask for it via email. Just another example of how unexpected problems can delay proceedings anywhere in the chain.

    Rifle Scopes Optics Planet SUCKS

    This is true; these issues are happening everywhere, not just in the firearms industry. Recently ordered a mini-split HVAC unit to install for an elderly person that needed help. In-stock, out-of-stock, then finally it-will-be-here-next-wednesday. It wasn't. Then it arrived from the...

    Gunsmithing Remove soaked-in oil from old shotgun stock?

    Back in the 80s, I had access to a heated vapor degreaser full of MEK. Never found better for degreasing milsurps and stocks. That said, you can use a solvent , whiting and sunlight. It takes a while.

    Bergara B-14R Range Report and Assessment

    I bed my Bergara down between these two 90yo geezers so it will learn proper manners . Appears to be working. 😁 . .

    1874 Sharps 45-90 reloading questions.

    Speaking of casting for these big bullets, in my experience you need a very large spout orifice to use a bottom pour pot or you get very inconsistent results, particularly wasp-waists. I use a ladle. No need to water quench, or run the pot hot. Mine work fine at 1350fps with a nice lube star...

    1874 Sharps 45-90 reloading questions.

    Great thread! Really enjoy shooting my 45-90 Shiloh with BP and bullets i cast myself. Mostly settled on a 530gr Postel over a compressed charge of Swiss 1.5. The bullet is lubed with a Paul Matthews formula. I use the Lyman 457125 in my original Trapdoor Carbine.

    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    Good! So far, with limited range time, it has shot very well at 50yds. Interested to see how it holds up at 100yds.
