Here is a video of this morning’s range session:

A customer was really interested in a Remington 7615 my employer purchased from a police department. After I showed how compatible it was with AR mags, he got out his wallet.

open sights, I shoot several open and aperture sight local rimfire matches on a monthly basis. I made this YouTube video a while back showing my CZ rimfire open sight benchrest technique: Here is the USBR target we were using at that time, I shot this one in 2017: Later that year, I...

I've always had a yearning for a Remington Model 141 GAMEMASTER chambered for the .35 Remington cartridge. An opportunity to trade for one fell in my lap a few weeks ago, a deal was struck and made. The rifle is in very good condition. I'm very pleased with the swap, however one thing about the...

One of my primary protagonists in my next book is Spared Territory North President Catherine Ragland Smith. When forced into the fray, she grabs what is handy and helps defend her people with the hunting rifle of her youth. In honor of my heroine, I carried along a rifle much like hers to the...

In my post-apocalyptic series of novels (Slingshot 8, Slingshot 8: The Old World, and the soon to be released, Slingshot 8: Colony) the world as we know it died seven decades earlier. My survivors manufacture some ammunition, but the cost in barter is dear. When scavenged from closets, lockers...

I like to have one of my CZs zeroed with an inexpensive round for general target practice and plinking. I took the CZ 452 Varmint, with its Weaver V-16 riding in CZ rings, to the range yesterday and fed it over a hundred rounds of Aguila Standard Velocity. Please note — all shooting was...

Link to match announcement: http://dwightpilkilton.proboards.com/thread/2431/5-days-big-bang-benchrest?page=1&scrollTo=5556 I shot my CZ 452 UltraLux and American in the rimfire classes and the following two rifles in the centerfire classes: Ithaca LSA 55 in .22-250 (manufactured by Tikka...

I tired of seeing does and never a buck at the Lauderdale Wildlife Management Area during my mid-teens. I turned 18 in 1975. They were still building a herd in those days. After viewing the primitive weapons hunters' takes of either sex deer at the management area's weighing station, I decided...

Link to my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtU9s6NnLl4 I shoot a target each month and post it on RFC's CZ Forum. We have an open sight (CZ only) match.The target is designed to be fired by super-accurate .22 rifles with high-magnification optics at 50 yards. One can't really see the...

needed some offhand rapidfire work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPfSqYjYcEs To help you better understand the actual match I was practicing for in the video, I looked in the desk drawer for an old Rapid-fire Rimfire score sheet and found a couple of my best efforts. One was fired with a...

I pulled the scope on my Remington/Zastava recently. I remembered firing the rifle years ago with its open sights just after receiving it as a gift on my 50th birthday — sweet wife. I was going to the range this morning and decided to include the Model Five. I set up a target at 25 yards...

Aguila Standard Velocity ammo. The tight-wad in me was wondering if with increased availability, the prices might come down further. Given another election looming, I chose to dive in. Target Sports was selling cases of Aguila SV for $369 last week with free shipping. I snagged one before...

I was rattling around in the shooting closet looking for a certain old box of primers and found these Sheridan rounds. Tiny wadcutters actually. I still have the Sheridan Blue Streak (purchased 43 years ago at Kmart) and use it to eliminate pests. Decades ago, I found it shot more accurately...

this Miroku Winchester 1873 is a fine rifle. I only had a half-hour to spare for its first range outing this morning and thirty rounds of my revolver handloads. The load consisted of .357 Magnum Federal cases with 5.5 grains of Solo 1000 behind 158 grain MagTech LRN bullets. The primers were WW...

I have always shot handloads in my Ruger Vaquero and Rossi Model 92 carbine. I had $40 in store credit at Gander Mountain, so I decided to try some factory ammo in the saddle-ring, big-loop Rossi. The ammunition is Hornady Leverevolution 225 grain FTX. I purchased two of the 20-round boxes. I...

Usually the USBR target is fired with an optically sighted rimfire unlimited, custom, or sporter rifle from a distance of 50 yards. On a whim, I started shooting it at 50 feet with my open sighted CZ sporters a few years ago (not peeps, apertures, ghost-rings, etc. — only the factory open...
