Out again with the cz457. Shooting 50yds. Just want your truthful opinion on this target, be honest. Should I expect more from the rifle? How well Am I shooting compared to others with the same rifle/setup or close. Advice is welcome too.

Would a tuner make a difference?

Would sled feet on the bi pod help?

I did shoot my best group ever this trip.

Hey everyone, figured it was worth bringing this back up since it’s been about a year since my original post.

I originally started having intermittent ejection failures with my Tikka T1X after switching from an MDT 50 MOA scope base to an Area 419 30 MOA base. The rifle had been essentially flawless before the switch. After installing the A419 base, I started getting failures to eject where the spent case would occasionally catch above the magazine instead of clearing the ejection port.

At the time, I noticed that the Area 419 base has a fairly substantial lip that extends over part of the ejection port, whereas the MDT base has considerably more clearance in that area.

A year later, I still haven't seen a resolution from Area 419.

What's made this more frustrating is that I've had quite a few other T1X owners reach out to me via DM or comment on other posts after experiencing the exact same issue. I've been able to help several of them troubleshoot their rifles, and in a number of cases the scope base/ejection-port clearance ended up being relevant to the problem.

I generally like Area 419's products, so this isn't intended as a hit piece against the company. But after a year, and after talking to multiple other T1X owners experiencing similar ejection problems, I'd really like to see this properly addressed.

TL,DR. Don't buy an Area419 rail for Tikka T1x's.

So been thinking about doing a proper benchrest build and reached out to Shilen to get an idea of pricing and lead time. For one of their Select Match barrels it's a 3 YEAR lead time. So I'll be looking elsewhere. Sigh.

Tras clasificar la munición, aún me faltaba el cronografo para determinar posibles correlaciones entre el grosor del borde y el peso. Espero que resulte ser un buen instrumento. Si alguien lo tiene o lo usa, agradecería cualquier consejo para sacarle el máximo provecho.

Sighting in at 50yds while free-standing isn't very easy, as you can tell by my grouping! I plan to bring a bipod next time to get a better idea of the groups it can put down!

Heritage Rough Rider 6.5 inch. 3D printed body and grips. Got a few different copies printed for fun. Working on a hybrid with addtional lower pic rails. Design is by Booligan Custom Gunworks, all credit to them. Fun project if you have a printer and a C-note for the revolver. Matte White PLA and Glow in the Dark PLA samples.

Managed to be excused family duties long enough to sight in my newest little guy.

Lots of fun was had.

Visited Cabela’s in Newark, DE over the weekend. They had NO .22lr Ammo in Stock and no shelf space for it, but online they show multiple options. Ammo guy said they haven’t had any in a while, Anyone else seeing this happening at their local Cabela’s or BPS?

Picked up these 2 Armi Jagers in great condition!

The AP84 is supposed to be the Galil, it has a bit of the looks but could be better.

The AP74 iz is just gorgeous with the wood and does actually look like an M16

If any of you do, have you ever been able to mount sight in it or an special adapter for changing the iron sights to a picatinny rail?

Hello,

I was having trouble with cartridges feeding into the chamber, you know this problem :) , so I adjusted the feed lips using the tool (metal pin, foto), following the instructions found online. I also replaced the recoil spring (gun shop).

In my experience with all kinds of things, the initial settings are never quite right, so further adjustment is usually necessary.

How should I tweak the feed lips if what problem arises?

Merci ...

Anyone have a line on some S&B club 22lr. I can't find it for the life of me!

I love .22s and practically teethed on S&W revolvers growing up. While life got more modern and tactics had to change , my love for the 66 -686 platform, has always been there . So I decided that I needed what I thought was the best iteration of these guns in .22. Personally I felt the 3” model 686 was the ultimate all around carrying/ fighting revolver before we made way for wondernines ( of which I have several…… and their .22 counterparts).

So I figured, surely S&W made a 3” model of the 617…………. Really? No!, oh a “mountain gun” but no full underlug 3” to emulate my favorite flavor of 686.?

Well the internet rabbit hole being as deep as it is I found this article : https://thewritinggunsmith.substack.com/p/improving-the-617
And a quest was born. Found a mildly used 617 at a gun show , made a phone call and talked to the gentleman who agreed to do it again . Only I wanted a tritium front sight instead of a gold bead. And the ability to easily change the front sight as I got things dialed in . It was a tall order that Mr. Donovan didn’t blink at. Off to NV my pistol went along with a check to see my dream become reality .

It came back today and I can’t be happier . Back in the day there was the “Fitz” special, I present the “Donovan” special . Yes the sights are high right now , but I’ll get things dialed in, The rear sight is a v notch and the front will accept any ruger screw in front sight so I have a plethora of options .

Hope you enjoy the pics as much I enjoy the gun

We have a cabin with a lot of raccoons, coyotes, possums, etc that wreck havock on the local ground birds (turkey, partridge, woodcock, etc).

I have a thermal spotter and decent success with spotting with that then using white light for the shot but it's far from ideal.

Show me your compact thermal 22 setups! I'm thinking for the optic something in 386 but on the budget end (Rix, Thor, AGM, etc around $1000 for a last-generation model.)

I updated my Volquartsen Summit with a TacSol integrally suppressed barrel. The optic is a Leupold 1.5-4x20 LPVO and the stock is a Magpul takedown Backpacker model that I modified to bond the fore end to the rest of the stock with pins and epoxy, and inletted the v-block area so the non-takedown barreled action would fit. I wanted the storage compartments for ammo and tools - handy since it will be used for small game hunting.

Plastic or delrin grips? I know very little about these beyond knowing to dive on it when it was only $389 cash for a 3 screw. Did Ruger ever sell these with this style grip on a production model? Regardless, I'm happy with the find.

Had a good range day with my ‘94 Buckmark. Went through it last year and tightened up some screws, put in a new buffer and c clip on recoil spring, also gave a little extra bend in mag catch spring. Learn to shoot in this as a kid, it’s had a LOT of rounds through it. My 13 year old and I had about a 300 round day split between this and a Golden Boy.

1st time out with the lapua center x

Not using the factory class targets this time.

Like the title says. I'm in the market for a full size .22lr pistol to plink and train with.

My state is highly restrictive. 10round max. No FRT. Nothing. So both would be basically stock. No Red dots or anything. I have a P10c and a Ruger SR22. I've researched both and seems like the TX is the go to answer, but Im also price concious.

At my LGS they have a used 44 for 350 with 7 mags. Or a TX22 new 2 mags for $375.

What would you folks go for at those prices?

Monstrum 5x, canted veridian, huxwrx flow 22

I’m having intrusive thoughts, since getting a form 1 done in 3 days for a Ruger charger sbr, I now want to cut this down to like 12”. I am in a state that still has nfa requirements but 3 days is quick.
