Picked it up today and did a little bit of trigger work. I also mounted the Vortex 6 X 18 44mm scope.
Just a " plinker " but I want it to be accurate so I ordered a Jard trigger for it. I'm too old to be able to see what I'm doing anymore and I shake too much for the tiney screws to be...
My Feddersen 16.25 inch Heavy Barrel came in yesterday so I mounted everything and made it to the range this morning to test some loads. Barrel was torqued to the Stocky's Euro Stock at 20 inch pounds. I'll play more with that soon. All shots were fired from a solid rest at 50 yards. Trigger...
What a beautiful day to shoot, no wind, temps in the low 60s and hardly anyone at the range today for the first hour.
My friend and I set the target out to 50 yards. My first time shooting this distance so I figured anything could happen. I shot my Ruger 10/22 with the Clark 20 inch .920...
Took me a while to get everything together the way I wanted but things finally showed up. Here's my 10/22 with a Stocky's Euro Stock, Simmons 8 X 34 Scope and Powers Custom Trigger Kit.
The trigger is set at 1 pound 3 ounces with my Lyman Digital Scale. It was 2.4 but I reversed the trigger...

I lucked out and had a beautiful day to go to the range today to test my latest build,
the one on top. It hosts a Simmons 8 X 34 scope that with the AO becomes perfectly clear at 25 yards.
The Range Officer set up my targets and I set up my bench. I like Ben Avery Shooting Facility in...
Added a Magpul stock, VQ scope mount for my C-More Railway and the dot. Almost done, Good friend brought over another stock and a Tacticl Solutions barrel. I'm be mounting that in the morning. Will get to practice with it Wednesday.
A very good friend gifted me with this Ruger 10-22 after I hinted that I wanted one for Steel Challenge matches. It's equipped with a Clark 16 inch competition .92 barrel, Hogue Over Molded Stock and Simmons 8 X 34 scope. Now I get to buy all the accessories needed for a Speed gun.
I asked the...
I've been talking to my friend about getting a 10/22 and hoping my son would take the hint and give me one that I made for him years ago but he no longer shoots. He didn't take the hint so for Christmas my buddy gave me this 10/22 with 8 X 34 Simmon's AO Scope and Clark 18 inch barrel. It's...
Today I took my 617 in to practice and make sure everything was working right. It did.
I also took along my Walther P22 and a box of CCI Velocitors. They definitely will get your attention when firing them. Nice LOUD report and the group very well. I don't feel under gunned with 11 rounds...
I made it to the range today with my S&W 617, DS-10 speed loaders and loading block, 140 rounds of Federal 36 grain plated ammo and an Apex Mass Drive Hammer Kit.
I was able to fire all 140 rounds without a misfire. DA is 8 pounds and SA is set to a nice crisp 2.2 pounds. The action is light...
Today I brought my vehicle in for service. I was right across the street from Shooter's World, and indoor shooting range, so I asked if I could borrow an electric wheelchair so I could visit the range. They gave me a new chair and sent me on my way. It was a short ride but exciting. These...
A Day To Sight In
Today I needed to sight in two of my guns. I decided to replace the LPA rear sight on my Smith & Wesson Model 617 with a C-More Railway on a 90 º mount that I had forgotten I had. Fun remembering that windage screw and elevation are now replaced with the screws on top and...
Found a 90º sight mount for my C-More that will fit my S&W 617. The idea is to bring the dot closer to the center line of the revolver which should make it faster and easier to pick up the dot.
It feels comfortable. Using a 6 MOA dot instead of my normal setup with 12 MOAs I'm hoping to be...
It's been along time but I finally finished shooting a Steel Challenge match for the first time this year. Weather was comfortable, 53 degrees and 30 mph winds when we started but ended up being 72 and beautiful. I'm in a wheelchair. Some of the stages are set up with either rain in the bay...
I spent a little time today sighting in my Black Mamba today, after mounting a C-More Railway red dot sight on it.
Out at 7 yards to get started it printed a one hole group about 2 inches below the center of the Bullseye. This is just where I want to start from. That 2 inches works to be dead...
I took out my Walther/Colt Gold Cup Trophy .22 today for the first time in over a year. I was having serious problems with hammer following and slide not going forward. I replaced the main spring and the rebound spring with a new set from Taylor Inc. and decided today would be a good day to...
I gave up shooting ICORE a few years ago after having to sell all my guns. As it happened I was able to get into .22s and picked up a couple of 617s for Steel Challenge.
The match director of our local ICORE club invited me to shoot with them. New rules allow for .22s to shoot without...
This week I have the opportunity to make a comparison between the Apex Tactical Mass Drive Hammer and the RevUp Action Hammer kit in my 617s.
The Apex hammer is on the left. The RevUp is on the right.
The Apex Mass Drive is advertised to be able to get a 6.5 pound DA pull and works that way...
I always try to take a backup gun with me to the range for practice and matches. I currently use a Volquartsen Black Mamba which is an upgraded Mark IV 22/45 Lite with VQ LLV-4 top end. All the internals are VQ as well.
My backup is a Mark IV 22/45 Lite with a few modifications. I didn't opt...
I had a great day today shooting our December Steel Challenge match at the Cactus Match League in Phoenix. Normally I shoot RFPO but decided to take off my C-More Red Dot and put a Green Fiber Optic front sight on my Black Mamba with a Volquartsen Adjustable rear sight.
I also put a new set of...
