    New CZ Varmint .22 LR

    One of the guys has a mix-up in his info in that thread. The old Wolf Match Target was the same a SK Standard Plus. The old Wolf Match Extra was the same as SK Rifle Match. AFAIK, there's never been a version known as SK Standard, only Standard Plus. I have found the claim of old Match...

    Buckshot/Slug Choke

    Buffalo's Outdoors has done several excellent, real-world videos on buckshot patterns (and a lot of other topics). His channel: https://www.youtube.com/@buffalosoutdoors/videos (assuming it's all still up) Here's an interesting test where he compares Flite Control and regular buck through 4...

    Neglected Rifles-Rising Star?

    I like that rifle and the chambering. There are a lot more .277 bullets available nowadays than there used to be so it should be just a matter of trial and error to work up a load that it likes. Some of the bullet options: My only .270 is a 1992 model BRNO ZKK 600. I don't load for it...

    CZ 550 Varmint Bell and Carlson stock

    I don't have the B&C stock, but my 2002 model 550 Varmint .308 is the most consistently accurate rifle I've ever owned or fired (out of probably 60 or 70). It shoots pretty much everything I've tried in it really well (all factory loads as I've never loaded for it). The best has been Federal...

    Which bolt action .22 LR rifle would you recommend for accuracy from a bench or in the field?

    There's a very active CZ/BRNO forum on RimfireCentral. A lot of people there report using the Area 419 stuff for the 457s and say it works great.

    Which bolt action .22 LR rifle would you recommend for accuracy from a bench or in the field?

    I would not like the two-scope, switching arrangement. I occasionally swap scopes around, but I don't like to do it because it requires another range trip, decent weather, and some time to get the POI back exactly where I want it. Now, if all I needed to do was to hit a coke can size target...

    When did it change and what difference did you notice?

    Which bolt action .22 LR rifle would you recommend for accuracy from a bench or in the field?

    LOL I was holding back from saying it, trying not to sound too much like a CZ 452/453 groupie, but if I wanted an all-around gun for bench and some off-bench shooting, I'd be looking for a 453 Varmint also. Or a 452 Varmint and work on getting the trigger really nice (which can be done). If I...

    Which bolt action .22 LR rifle would you recommend for accuracy from a bench or in the field?

    Sounds like you're looking to buy a new gun, but if you are opened to used guns, there are some other really great-shooting options in approximately your price range. All else being equal, the bigger and heavier the gun, the easier it'll be to consistently shoot the smaller groups from a bench...

    Which bolt action .22 LR rifle would you recommend for accuracy from a bench or in the field?

    Pat Riot, what is your mix of field vs. range use? And what will field use entail? I ask because the heavy varmint rifles are generally more accurate, easier to shoot accurately from a decent rest, and more satisfying to shoot when going for accuracy and tight groups. I say this based upon...

    Why Do You Carry A Gun?

    This type of question always reminds me of the fact that was explained well by Major Caudill: The gun is civilization. "The Gun Is Civilization" by Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you...

    Dud rounds: a cogent explanation for one leading cause

    Interesting, and a bit worrisome. Just thinking about how many shortcuts companies in general have been driven to take makes me wonder if ammo I've acquired in the last few years will be as reliable in the future as older stuff that I have. Some of the older ammo has been loaded for 35+ years...

    A 22 rifle that just plain fits

    Mine too. The 452 Trainer and the Lux (which is just a Walnut stocked Trainer) fit me like it was made for me. I have a low-mounted scope on a 22 Magnum Lux that also fits me perfectly, better than my straight stocked rifles. Next to the Model 52 Winchester it probably makes more range trips...

    Two of S&W best ever

    Agree! I love the L Frame Smith & Wesson guns, and I'm partial to the no-dash or low-dash vintages. 👍

    Show Me Your Lube Shelf

    Follow-up on this. There's probably no useful information here for anyone else, but it's an account of what happened with the M-Pro 7 and Mobil 1 mixture. The approximately 70/30 mix of Mobil 1 and M-Pro 7 (that's my estimate of the mix ratio that started out as 50/50, but I've since added...

    Beginnings with 22 LR

    That’s my experience, too. The first thing that happens that causes a NEED for cleaning a 22LR is the buildup of a carbon ring at the end of the chamber that will deteriorate accuracy. Some guns probably aren’t accurate enough to even notice when this happens, but I’m not interested in owning...

    Biden closes ‘gun show loophole’

    Is there anyone here who doesn’t realize that the people in power couldn’t care less about reducing “gun violence,” and know that this won’t change anything in the precincts where scum are murdering people? This type of thing is to serve as a distraction for everyone who watches the “gun...
