RoadWild, There's been a lot of good advice here on building the rifle you want. And some excruciatingly polite responses on taking game at 700 yards. Let me play bad cop here. Don't even THINK about taking a shot like that, EVER. Some of the learned here have cautioned you about wind drift...

I bought a Remington BDL .22-250 Sporter in about 1970. Put a 6x Redfield scope on it, nice for the time. Shot it a lot for a few years then stored my guns when I went to The Big Cities. Got married a dozen years later and finally talked my new bride into a range visit. The Rem had been...

I've seen two attic storage caches after long periods. I can't swear to how well they were prepped, but it was not good. One in Santa Monica , S. Cal, coastal and hot. The other in the Central Valley of CA, cold and hot. Both collections had been lightly oiled and ignored. Attics can be moisture...

Good lord, what is M.E.K.? It sounds like a component to a Doomesday device.

Thanks to you both. I don't know what Brno actually used on its stocks during the early '80's, when I got the gun. It appears to be some kind of oil finish, definitely not high gloss or bowling pin type. TAB, I'm just curious as to what you've used that left you having to sand even more after...

I've talked myself into refinishing the stock on my Brno 2-E. It looks like good wood, but there must've been too much vodka flowing in Brno the day they finished mine. Anyway, Certistrip is a product carried by Brownell's, pretty aggressive stuff if their copy is accurate. Have you ever used...

Depends on the "mission.":rolleyes: Nasty back problems made me break my stuff down into smaller pieces. Ace Hardware had a sale on small CustomLeatherCraft tool bags for $10 each. Heavy ballistic nylon. I'd blow out another disc before I could overload these things. I carry one in each hand to...

I hope this topic won't be moved, because it's not about reloading per se. I'd like to have a manual on my shelf for reference purposes only. It should have a large section on external ballistics in general. And the largest number of calibers and bullets possible. Actual bullet brands are...

I just went insane with rest of the world. So I bought a Cooper Western Classic and a Leica rangefinder. Life is good. For now.

Carlos, I like your suggestions. Pardon the ignorance, but what is "ESD-type" vinyl? Thanks.

When no one's around the house, I set up on our big old kitchen table. I put down a cheap plastic-coated table cloth first, then newspapers. I would be boiled in Hoppe's if I wrecked the finish on the oak table. I don't know if solvents will eat the plastic since I never let it sit that long...

And I've seen people shoot hawks at 400 yards . . ." Hawks are one of the good guys in a healthy ecosystem. Please tell your associates to stop shooting them. Especially tell them federal law prohibits it. Tell them they're committing felonies. I'd be happy to talk to them if you wish. :mad:

I've heard they're pretty quiet, but with luck we'll find out from someone who has one. The .204 was on my short list, but I finally decided to stick with some choices thatI know something about. Maybe it'll fill the bill, I don't know.

These are really helpful. I've picked up a few new places from your lists. Now all I need is a catheter and IV drip and I'll never have to leave my computer again. Turn your associates into gun site zombies like me. Keep 'em coming.

rcmodeler, that is an intriguing possibility. Any pellet preference? Brand, weight, shape?

Last question I'll ask on the subject: how does accuracy of the Hornet compare to the RFs?

tasco 74, would you mind saying what airgun sites you like? I shoot airguns a fair amount, but just don't know where the good ones are. Thanks.

Haven't seen this topic in a while, so time for an update. Aside from THR, of course, what small arms sites are your favorites? Mine in random order include: rimfirecentral.com gunblast.com rimfireshooting.com 1911forum.com americanhandgunner.com accurateshooter.com There are others...

Thanks, Archie. Mystery solved. Now if I can only figure out how light a load I could run through my .22-250 without becoming a statistic. And Ranger 335v, thanks for your re-assurances on the CBs. I was pretty worried about that.;)

Are .22 CB longs safe indoors? Deleted by OP.
