    What's Your Favorite 22 Rifle

    Mine would be the first rifle I ever purchased myself with my own savings. Close to 40 years ago I spent about everything I had at the time to buy an Anschutz 1413 Super Match that I used for shooting 4 position as a junior. I still shoot it today and it remains the most used rifle in my...

    entry level target .22 rifles- where to start.

    As mentioned in a previous response, I would follow the for sale section in TargetTalk. There are good older used Anschutz rifles coming up frequently. If you purchase something that isn't adjustable enough to grow with your experience you will wish you had waited. You don't need the top of the...

    What are the farthest and closet shots kill shot made

    Fun thread to read through. My longest shot would have been on an antelope hunting trip in Montana where I had two tags to fill. I dropped two antelope in their tracks at 678 yards according to my rangefinder from an unsupported kneeling position with my 22/250 sporting a 40x scope. Granted...

    "custom!"

    Well, I have 6 BR custom in my signature. I call it custom because the stock was specially built by Master Class Stocks to fit my length for the trigger pull and also my hand dimensions. The rest is standard off the shelf parts that were assembled to fit my personal criteria. It's worth the...

    PPC

    I have a safe queen that's a 6PPC. I had it built for when WCW in Bothell ran their winter 100 yard prone matches. The rifle was finished during the summer and I worked up a load for it, then I put it back in the safe to wait for winter to roll around. Come winter time, people decided that the...

    Ladder load work up?

    Savanahsdad, for most people and most rifles a 1moa is good enough. But I'm a competitive rifle shooter and must have sub 1/2 moa to be able to compete. It's not always that lights out 6BR that I'm shooting in competition, but sometimes an AR-15 or my rimfire. A typical target that I shoot...

    Ladder load work up?

    Definitely mount the scope. Personally I wouldn't bother with a ladder test at 100 yards. If I fired 10 shots with an increase at .3 grains per charge, with an accurate rifle I would fully expect to have a single vertical hole. And somewhere in that single hole there would likely be a plateau...

    Ladder load work up?

    While you may be able get some information at 100 yards, you will always be able to get a better visual the further you can stretch it out. I use the furthest distance possible at my home range which is 300 yards. Even at that distance I sometimes have a tough time reading the best results. If...

    TexasDon, It will only drift maybe 10% of the time it's left for extended periods. Varget is the powder that made me get the straw, I would have an overthrow about 30% of the time. Never by a lot, usually just .1 - .2, but over is over and I would have to take out the extra. Now I will...

    I've got one and love it. Though the first thing you should do is go visit a Mcdonalds and get a straw. Cut off a 1-1/4" section and insert all but the last 1/8" - 1/4" into the drop tube. If you do any stick powders this will cut back on 90% of the overthrows you will get. The only other...

    Biggest surprise you experienced with guns

    I would have to go way back to when I was a young kid and fired a shotgun for the first time. I was still a tag along and brush beater with my dad and grandfather while they were the hunters. My grandpa set a can on top of a fence post and asked me if I wanted to try shooting a shotgun. Well...

    The WORST gun in your personal collection?

    Mine would have to be an expensive fantastic shooting 6mm PPC that I just have no use for. There was a monthly prone match shot at 100 yards through the winter that I thought would be good for practice during my regular off season. With doing this in mind, over the summer I had built for me a...

    brass cleaning poll

    I know it's overkill but I Ultrasonic then de-prime. Follow that with a few hours of dry tumble, clean any media from primer pockets then ultrasonic again. Shake out excess water and let sit overnight.

    Washington State I-594 is Firearm Registration

    I sent my ballot in today, so there's one more no vote. But I don't have a good feeling about this one. The NRA has been completely silent, I've been seeing commercials for supporting this piece of crap 10 - 15 times a day for two months and have yet to see a single ad against it. Its going to...
