    A pair of 22LR mainstays shot against each other. Savage FvSR vs Ruger 10/22T

    In the past few years I have been casually dabbling in local rimfire benchrest competitions. Well today in the course of testing a couple of mods I made to my 10/22 my ruger and Savage FVSR ended up in an impromptu shoot off. Both have stock barrels. Both are pillar bedded into Richards...

    A modern 9mm levergun, yes you read this correctly

    https://pof-usa.com/firearm/tombstone-9mm/ Hopefully the wild demand on the barely operational new and stained secondhand levergun market will get us more new non traditional options to choose from such as the rifle linked to above. Not going to lie if prices can settle into my range I'd...

    Extra wide 1/2 front sight dovetail

    I have a vintage octagon barrelled German 22 that has a dovetail cut into the bbl that oddly enough measures almost exactly 1/2 across the widest point. Do you guys know of any options to get from this to a Lyman style globe. The pic shows the ramp in place. The 1/2 inch dovetail is below this

    My Benchrest iron sight 10/22

    I had originally started building this 10/22 for the local optical class in our local benchrest matches. But honestly after shooting a custom 40x most of a season I'm a little burnt out on that level of competition especially the price point of ammo and most importantly practice to compete with...

    Help me identify this inter war German falling block 22 FZL

    I picked up this up recently and know next to nothing about it beyond it pushed my buttons for big full sized rifle 22's The rifle has a few issues. It's missing the front sight, it has a weak strike resulting in FTF probably 25% of the time The barrel is grooved for a dovetail but it seems to...

    You poor poor Marlin 336a... what have they done to you?

    Local gun show pickup. A long barrelled Marlin 336 in 35 rem has always been a bucket list gun for me. 51 model with Ballard rifling. I paid a little on the low end of the current insane levergun pricing for reasons that will be obvious when you scroll down (may be disturbing or offensive...

    S&W 617 22lr 6 shot

    A truly impulse buy but I struggle to pass up quality 22lr firearms nowadays. Especially ones that have the heft and feel of their center-fire counterparts Virtually all these I see online are 10 shot. However this example is a 6 shot. Anyone know why this difference exists? Eventually I think...

    Single six drill and tap scope mount

    I’ve always wanted a scoped Single Six and I finally happened across one of those “I need money” deals where I don’t have any sentimental blocks to doing a bubba. I would like to have this pistol drilled and tapped for a scope mounting that preferably puts the optic over the bbl and leaves the...

    32-20 Aussie Martini Cadet Rifle

    Gunshow score. Originally 310 but this one was rechambered to 32-20 otherwise all original. I have been looking for the right shooter grade martini for a decade now. I think this will not be my last. What a svelt great handling rifle even more so than a rolling block. Some Aussie Sargent must...

    H&R m12 22LR training rifle. Tell me about these

    On a whim I traded for a h&r m12 22 target rifle that seems nice. it’s been drilled and tapped for a scope mount and had an ancient Lyman 4x all American scope on it. I swapped that out for a Zeiss conquest 3x9x40 that Kenton Industries added a target turret to for me. what do you know...

    CZ 455 varmint tacticool stock pillar bedding.

    I happened across a too good to pass up deal on a CZ 455 varmint that appears to have been fired extremely little. Black tacticool stock (more on that) EGW 20moa base Box and 3 mags (one 10rd) $500 bones OTD I bought this unit expecting a build for my local rimfire benchrest matches...

    The next gun fad. Precision 22lr rifles.

    In this century we’ve seen gun fads come and gun fads go. We started with all things 1911 all the time and went to AR based carbines that didn’t weigh much more, from there we went off on a tangent of long range “tactical rifles”. The latter spawned a small crop of “training” 22’s that are...

    Stock differences 93 vs MkII accutrigger

    The ol FV-SR could really use better stock. I really want a full on benchrest style because that’s the shooting I do. Richards microfit is the only company I’ve found making such a thing within financial reason the only problem is it’s inletted for the older 93. I have read the difference is...

    New to me 22LR Mauser

    had been patrolling gun shops the past couple weeks for nice 22 and lo & behold a legit Mauser 22 all for $150 smackers. I don’t know much about these yet but it seemed too good of a deal to pass up She seems to fire and function properly. Looking across the rear sight it appears to be a...

    Max effort 10/22 accuracy build.

    You know over the past 20 years of being an avid shooter, reloading, Ar building, wildcatting and even bullet casting one gun I’ve never remotely been interested in owning was a 10/22 But now I have the itch to build a max accuracy effort 10/22 for our local rimfire benchrest matches. First I...

    Browning A bolt 22Lr Accuracy

    I have ended up with this little gem of a browning A bolt in 22LR, I’ve fitted a 2x7 compact leupold scope to. the poor rifle just isn’t a very good shooter. 2-3 inch groups are the norm at 50 yds with ammunition ranging from RWS target to bulk HP’s. In fact it especially hates the standard...

    General consensus on the glock 42

    I've been considering stepping up to a bigger mousegun than my well loved p32 for awhile now. Primarily because 32 ammunition selection and availability stinks these days and is only getting worse I'm willing to go a little larger overall with the idea that it will mitigate some of the snap...

    P32-3at aftermarket triggers. AKA the poor little p32 that couldn't

    My poor well loved p32 broke down on me again today suffering from dreaded trigger pin walkout again resulting in FTF malfunctions. It had done this before 10 years ago and was fixed for awhile with some loctite. I think this is a good excuse to invest in one of the aftermarket triggers...

    Getting to know the 9mm LCR

    Spent some time getting to know the 9mm LCR today The little gun is slick and points very naturally and while it may not win matches keeping 5 shots on a standard paper plate at 7 yards rapid fire was not a problem. The Ruger clips are nice and easy to load & unload. The Ranch clips I bought...

    New Ruger 450 bushmaster American

    Good day all Let me present to you my latest acquisition one of the Ruger 450 bushmaster Americans. I've yet to shoot it but my first impression is very favorable as far as the smoothness of the action and the outright fantastic trigger. The stock feels nice and sturdy and the rifle handles...
