Re: In the market for a new .22LR
I've hesitated to comment because I don't recommend the 10/22... unless you are able to add hundreds of dollars to the initial price to make it accurate. Out of the box, the average 10/22 has a...

Re: A long day at the range with the Old Guys

A few friends and I were on the range one day when one fellow's nephew and a couple of his friends happened by. They...

Re: My sons first handgun.
Your son seems to have his head on straight and I expect he'll pass his P22 along to his own child... a family heirloom. I hope both of you enjoy it no end.
I was 5 years old in 1948 when my...

Re: whats the best 22 automatic rifle?
I have to agree with Hawg as my experiences would dictate. I have two 10/22 rifles that will shoot sub-1/2 inch groups at 50 yards but the only original parts are the receiver, bolt and trigger...

Re: whats the best 22 automatic rifle?
So what kind of groups are you talking at 50 yards and how consistently can you do it?
Any suggestion that the Savage fit, finish and build quality is on a par with a CZ is demonstrably wrong. A...

Re: whats the best 22 automatic rifle?
To kill a coyote with a .22LR will require an accurate rifle that puts it's first shot where you want it. A .22 magnum would be the better choice but if you insist on a .22LR, I'll offer two...

Re: New Toy, CZ-453
Most of them do but there is an exception; the Ultra Lux currently being sold comes with a 10 round mag. Personally, I prefer the 5 round mag.

Re: Barska Varmint scope
I have a Barska 6~24X and an 8~32X. Both require critical eye positioning or everything goes cloudy. When the eye is positioned dead center, the glass is clear, bright and sharp.

Our local gun club shoots a .22LR match at 100, 150, 200 and 250 yards. Targets are steel swingers of 6", 9" and 12" at the first three distances. We use 3/8 steel rams at 250 yards and standard...

Absolutely... but everyday, run of the mill rifles may disappoint you at that distance. OTOH, some of the same types of rifles may surprise you with excellent groups.
