    New .22 actions still coming?

    I must ask, What is the problem with current actions? Actions from 1950 are still shooting with the current latest and greatest. Not much room for improvement. Rimfire issues are largely ammunition based. And it’s a design flaw that cannot be corrected.

    Current Surgeon vs AI Action

    The “wide selection” Lego mentality is amusing. If your action of choice has the stock and trigger you want why does a wide selection matter?

    AMU Model 70: 30-338 Win Twist Rate

    OP, congratulations on the new rifle. As two posters said above, it's easy to check. Put a strip of masking tape on a cleaning rod. Fit a tight patch in the barrel so the rod rotates as you advance it into the bore. I like to use some oil as a lubricant to help assure no slipping. Once you...

    KMW thread

    I can vouch for this. I called Terry about 2009. He “put me on the list” at about #12 iirc. Over the next two years I worked my way up to number 4 according to my annual call. Then something happened. I stalled out. I suppose I’m still at #4?? Have not checked for a decade or so. True...

    Redfield Scope Repair

    It might make more sense to locate a different scope. Both from a time and money standpoint.

    Iron Bridge Armory (IBA)XM3 build not clone correct

    Re: IBA IBA was always snarky to deal with. Re: cloning. I had at one time purchased an estate of a retired and deceased USMC 2112. Had boxes of things. Scopes, mounts, photos, barrels, rifles etc. about a pick up bed full. This stuff spanned WW1 through Vietnam. It was immensely...

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    I have owned 8 or 9 M1A’s. Everything from modern Springfields to Devine Tx NM’s. I had a Gucci build LRB with all TRW parts, Krieger barrel , famous smith etc. . I only have one now. It’s a 2112 built TRW parts kit National Match barrel, USGI STOCK etc. It has a history look and feel that no...

    Has anyone ever heard of a BRNO made sniper from the late 80s - early 90s?

    I was going to suggest you reach out to @buffalowinter but he found you.

    This is the data if you believe it. It says 10 shot groups 1.25” at 200 yards in 1937. I’m not endorsing it as fact, just Winchester internal memo.

    I recall some older Winchester data about accuracy gains from the teens to the 1960’s iirc. I’ll try to locate and post up tonight.

    Shout out about your builds

    To clarify my post, I agree with the OP. Yet, with all the improvements what is the actual gain on the target at 100 yards? This is not rhetorical. I don’t know exactly. Who has data? I’d like to know.

    Nothing you say can be disputed. Fully in agreement. Yet no mention of ammunition quality, price or availability. Also, I wonder why we really are not doing much better groups today than we did 50 years ago in rimfire. As you say, all is “better” no question but have 100 yard groups shrunk...
