It as some kind of fouling and even after rimfire cleaner, JB bore paste and brake kleen intermixes with many many brush strokes a little remains. I don't know if we were seeing lead or bullet lube or if any of this will result in improved accuracy.

It's always just sorta maintained. BUT I didnt buy the rifle new. It's entirely possible a PO fouled the bore badly with 5 bricks of wildcat or "Surok" I usually subscribe to the less is more camp of 22 bore cleaning so I may have never cleared it.

Now these Ruger pics are a little more interesting. There is a very pronounced crusty carbon ring present. The bore in approximately the middle 3rd has this strange to me appearance that seems to cast a shadow and looking had on almost looks crystalline like galvanized steel. Upon seeing this I...

New toy time in the form of an amazon bore scope. The thumbs in this reply are all the savage bore. By in large pretty uniform down the entire bore with a slight carbon ring. Of the two units this one actually has a bit rougher lede. This bore has 100 more rounds through it since the last...

Agreed that savage mark series needs to be on that list. In terms of accuracy they punch way above their price point.

Especially for a day that started calling into work.

In the past few years I have been casually dabbling in local rimfire benchrest competitions. Well today in the course of testing a couple of mods I made to my 10/22 my ruger and Savage FVSR ended up in an impromptu shoot off. Both have stock barrels. Both are pillar bedded into Richards...

In my opinion we are staring down the barrel of pistol caliber carbines being the next big gun fad of the decade. Lever guns will be part of this but the fad this time will be a little broader based not just being about ONE platform like the AR and 1911 gun fad before it.

I've had a few of these over the years and still have one I'll never be parted from. They shoot great if treated like a 30-30. If you are expecting to make a super 30-30 this isn't the rifle. All but the stubbiest spitzer bullets will be too long for the magazine anyway As mentioned the...

What is the deal with folding and or takedown PCCs ? Not once have I been like. This rifle would be better if it stored twice as thick in an awkward case size with the potential to lose half of it. Loosely attaching the barrel to the sighting device is for me too.

How about a pre war Mauser A benchrest iron sight 1022 A rem 40x

They get a bad rap at least in part because they tend to have been grossly oversized for many years and many calibers. Microgroove rifling just catches the bad perception for borderline manufacturing defects that aren't really a fault of the rifling design Throw in some dumb twist rate...

Can you please quote the text where I said that? Because I'm pretty darn sure I didn't say anything of the sort. No matter how you cut it the raw material nor the machining nor the US employed labor on this theoretical Aero cost 10x as much. So this only leaves the profit margin Aero is trying...

You say cost savings. I say likely slightly more realistically priced The days of the cool tax on the AR platform are long long gone

Honestly I’d just settle for a bolt action 9mm that’s built on a modern entry level hunting rifle frame as a optics friendly companion to my Rhineland smle 45acp conversion

This is 2023. While we like to think we still have the option to carefully select a platform and or sub model exactly to our tastes after much careful deliberation in reality you are probably going to be limited to whichever 327 Henry you can find first with neither option being a realistic...

In any question that's "the best" and you are comparing tangent vs aperture sights rifles with tangent sights need not apply. Other features are irrelevant without that criteria met. As evidenced by rifle development in the second half of the 20th century up until the widespread adoption of...

The mas36 hands down. It was realistically the last bolt action service rifle designed. It's unbelievably rugged, a concerted effort was made to get the parts count down, to a very low number, it has vastly superior aperture sights as opposed to tangent sights and it fires a cartridge closer to...

To elaborate on my comment above I am a shooter. I don't buy firearms to not enjoy them on the range. So a few extra holes all else being equal is an opportunity for me to get into a gun I want at a price I'm willing to pay. See my recent thread about a badly abused Marlin
