I have a Ruger American in 308 Win. When I got it I threw the stock away and dropped it in a Boyd's stock. It's a nice shooting rifle now. The trigger is decent. The action has smoothed out with use. The barrel heats up fast but also cools down fast. I hated the original Ruger magazines that...
I have a Taurus model 66 with a 4" barrel. It shoots nice, seems plenty accurate and has been reliable for me. When I use 38 special ammo in it, it's very soft. Full boat 357 magnum could get uncomfortable after 20 rounds or so.
Had to return a Wilson Combat 45acp barrel for exchange back in mid-November. Wilson Combat has confirmed a replacement barrel will be going out, but they are backordered and have no idea when they will have them. As long as I have it by spring it'll be all good.
22lr rifles - Annually. Even then I try not to scrub the bore too hard. They group better slightly fouled.
Bolt action rifle - The action is cleaned after every range trip. The bore gets cleaned when the groups start to open up.
AR rifle - Thorough scrubbing after every range trip.
Revolver -...
Those are most likely reloads. As in I am 99% sure those are reloads. How they ended up in a new Winchester box is a mystery. Hope the store owner can help you get to the bottom of it.
Every box of Winchester white box I've purchased, the rounds were loose in the box. There was no fancy foam...
Thank you for the kind words. I shot 40 rounds yesterday. 20 to tune up and sight in, 10 at the first attempt and then the one I entered. After that I was very mentally fatigued, so I went home. It is a lot of work to shoot a lightweight rifle like the 10/22 at 50 yards. I could have used...
...rimfire seriously in awhile. Been concentrating more on skeet this summer. It was fun and some guys couldn't believe I was shooting the 10/22 from 50 yards with iron sights. I have to admit it was hard to see the target clearly. Weather: sunny and clear, wind highly variable, temp about 80*.
Excellent. Skeet is great practice. Those targets are moving fast and if the wind comes up they start to dance around in the air. Of all the shooting sports I think skeet and sporting clays are my favorite. After having a look at a Remington 1100 Tactical model, I think it might be easier...
I made a pdf version of the 50 yard target that's already sized for one 8-1/2 x 11 piece of paper if anyone wants it. Just shoot me an e-mail and I will send it to you.
Oh, and I think I finally have my front sight locked down so it won't move and I'm in for the July shoot. Looks like fun...
I might jump in on this one. Put a set of Tech Sights on my 10/22 over the winter, went out today and re-shot some of the targets from last year's matches, and wow, what a difference. I also removed the barrel band. My groups have tightened up. Now it's time to put it to the test.
The cleaning should solve your cycling issues. The 930 (similar to most new guns) comes coated in some sort of shipping grease. It needs to be cleaned before shooting, or the gun will most likely malfunction.
I'd be all for extending this match into January. As to whether I can get out to shoot it still remains to be seen. As long as someone breaks a trail back to the range with a snowmobile or a 4x4, I can walk to it.
I've owned a Browning Gold for about 10 years now. I have the sporting clays edition which has a different piston than the others. It will reliably cycle lighter loads. I've had no trouble with reduced recoil 7/8 oz loads. I've also had no trouble in colder weather. It just keeps chugging...
