    WallyR liked post by zimmer On thread : Sorting 22lr
    In the early 90s Norinco 22 ammo was available. It was supposedly made using equipment sourced from Eley. For smallbore club shooting we used to sort it by rim thickness, wipe off the excess lube,...

    WallyR liked post by MassiveAttack On thread : Why frontline cops should be armed
    The thread isn't sensible. They are armed, every patrol car has a Bushmaster in the back (without fashionable carbon fiber stock) so you are asking for something they already have. If they had a...

    Yep, had a good weekend setting the shoot on Saturday and then running it on Sunday. Sunday was windy, and it seemed to get worse through the day as well. Good turn out though, 26 competitors in...

    WallyR liked post by ebf On thread : 3800yrd Shot with 375 Cheytac
    Everything is relative... Kinda depends on where a projectile for a particular chambering goes trans-sonic and how much further beyond that point you can shoot consistently... So 1600yds with a...

    I would agree with gravelben on this. As a rimfire hobbyist I like buying/testing the full range of sporter 22s. I like the CZs - darn good rifles - but they are not the only good option. There...

    I still have an earlier one to this - it is an absolute dog to bed correctly due to the enormous recoil "lug" king screw combination. Apparently the guys that got them to shoot well machined the lug...

    You can shoot either FTR or FO with out breaking the bank if you wish, if you're mainly interested in improving your own results. You will be competing against some who have invested a lot of money...

    yup, supressors/moderators are fine. Not very common though, because with string fire, they get very hot and cause issues with mirage in your scope. For recoil reduction, a good buttpad like a...
