The SB target is a pretty high bar with your setup, IMO. If you intend on eventually shooting it 3-position, it'll get even tougher. Check out the CMP Rimfire Sporter targets @Jim Watson mentioned. RS is designed around minimal everyday gear, so the target is more generous. You might just be...
I'm late to the party, but I wanted to chime in because an Enfield - also given to me by my father - is what got me into shooting. It was my Dad's deer rifle he used as a kid when hunting with his uncles. A 1942 Lee Enfield he bought as a kid from a barrel of cosmoline for about $10. As a kid...
On one hand, any revolver I bought new (or even used) got a deep internal cleaning before shooting. IME, there’s a surprising amount of (likely abrasive) stuff inside the gun when it leaves the factory.
On the other hand, a Bud asked me to do an action job on his minty all-forged no-dash 686...
Thanks.
As far as the hits, it was pretty typical weather, which is to say not a perfectly calm day, and prevailing breezes could've pushed a bit to the right (paying attention to and reading the wind is something to work on). Trigger control could've certainly played a role as well. In this...
In the FWIW department, I got out to the range to take another whack at this. This time, I brought along my shooting jacket & glove. I could use a scope with easy-to-adjust turrets, but once zero'd (or nearly so), things seemed to go ok. I need to order some SR-1 targets to see how the standing...
I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the Competition sub-forum, but since one wouldn't technically be competing, and the spirit of the endeavor is mainly for the challenge, I thought I'd put it here...
Anyhow, I tried shooting the 100Y reduced National Match HighPower Rifle CoF with a...
I was pointing out that Standing scores matter a bunch, so it's worth putting the time in. On that I think we've all agreed. Beyond that, I don't think the semantics matter all that much.
JMO, it's a cool rifle, but for your purposes, I'd skip the Lux. Even with the Varmint or American, it might take some tweaking to get that scope low enough (and/or your cheek high enough) to get comfortably and consistently positioned behind it. With the Lux, you'd likely have to remove the...
I'm a CZ fan and have 3 452s. If/when I buy another rimfire rifle, it'll most likely be a 457. If it's heavily weighted towards bench with some squirrel and rabbit, I'd consider the 457 Varmint, otherwise I'd go with @CraigC 's CZ457 American. Either way, get a good front rest and rear bag as...
I will say that when I shot Service Rifle, I spent the majority of my live fire working on 2 things. One was my standing, pretty much for the reasons already outlined. In my mind at the time, dropping a round into the 8-ring (or worse) would be far easier while standing than while sitting or...
I agree it’s actually not bad. Looks to be about 6MOA. I don’t know your rifle or ammo, but just standing offhand with a factory AR and no special shooting coat, 6MOA, IMO, is actually very good. The SR-1 target is the target used for Standing Slow shooting for 100 yard HighPower Rifle matches...
Here’s what I’ve been spending quality time with lately - my CZ 452 Scout dropped in a full-sized Klinsky stock topped with a Weaver 3-9x32 scope. I love this handy little package, and use it to sling up for some position shooting.
Slung up, NRA Seated position (i.e., on the ground) Slow...
The "dedicated-ness" of the SSR is mostly marketing, IMO. When it comes to fast DA shooting, weight is your friend. Assuming all 3 revolvers are in good shape, my choice for a revolver specifically for steel, ICORE, and/or IDPA is a standard (but tuned) 686 (my preferred variant is the -5...
If the 686 SSR is from S&W's Performance Center lineup, I'm actually surprised it's not more expensive than the 66 and 686. All 3 are fine revolvers and ought to serve you well if in good condition (how long are the barrels on the 66 and 686?), but IMO, from a "value" perspective, the SSR would...
I'd agree on all points. If the buyer were interested because it's minty and will be bought to just be part of a collection, I doubt the buyer would care about a bad trigger. I don't see an action job helping its value to a collector, though, and, as mentioned, unless the work is verifiably done...
