In follow-up to my earlier thread, I received the Weaver 4-20 super slam and it was nice. I liked the glass a lot. It was very clear. BUT, the turrets had some issues. One was floating and not tight. It wobbled up and down preventing accurate reading. The other issue was the turrets for...

Has anyone shot the 50 grn vmax from a 1:8 twist barrel? If how, how was the accuracy? I think it should work fine, but want to see if anyone has shot the combination. Thanks.

I have a lead on a couple weaver scopes for my varmint/target AR. About the same price. One has a 1" tube and 1/8 clicks, but less over all range The other has 30 mm tubes and 1/4 clicks, but about twice the adjustment range. My other scope is 1/8 MOA clicks, but honestly that is...

I hate to even post this thread, but I will anyway. My varmint upper shipped and I need an optic. I don't want spend a bunch. I like shooting bolts more than my ar so far and I just do it for fun. I end up doing target work more than anything and if I was hiking/hunting, I am sure I would...

Received in a shipment of some ammo to top up my supply and one of the plastic boxes of 17 hmr broke wide open. The sides of the box are broken and individual shells were bouncing around with the other plastic boxes. Has this ever happened to you? If so, what did you do? Does it affect...

Hi everyone. In follow-up to the thread about flyers, on a recent range trip I used a much more stable bench. The target was right at 50 yards and it was cold and windy, maybe 5 to 15 gusts with tall berms on each side of the range. I was shooting 40 grn vmax Fiocchi 223 in a a CZ varmint...

Any reason I should not order this? I have a colt and then bilt a lower with a nice trigger/better stuff. Now need an upper. I would scope it and try to shoot small things. I would go for the 20 inch barrel and a 1:8 twist. I have a bolt with a 24 inch barrel and a 1:12 twist. I don't...

I was shooting some bolt action rifles this weekend and about 50 yards to sight them in an work up some ballistic tables to keep with the rifles. Ok, mostly for fun. The groups were good, most of the time. It was only 50 yards with a CZ 223 and a Savage HMR 17 both bull/varmint barrels...

Has anyone tried this or know of a review? Thanks. 223 REMINGTON FIOCCHI V-MAX 40 GRAIN JHP Thanks.

I took my CZ 527 varmint bolt out to the range for the first time this weekend. For all you folks up north, it was about 60, sunny, and no wind. Pretty much perfect and the sun was going down. This was the first time out with this rifle. It has an Nikon Buckmaster MilDot 6-18 that I got...

Hi everyone. Quick question. Have the CZ 527 bolt in 223. Also go the Nikon Buckmaster 6x18 - 40mm scope as a starter scope, or longer if I like it. Got it on sale. Outer objective is 1.95 " Outer eyepiece is 1.67 " Now I need rings. Don't think any place in town has rings so will...

Hello All. Thanks for your advice on the CZ bolt in 223. I looked around and had been watching for the last several months and found one on gun broker with wood that I like. I am happy with the wood and the trigger is the set trigger so it will be nice and light for target work (good enough...

Hi Everyone. Does anyone know this rifle or at least this stock? I know it is a model 88 Winchester in 308. But have never seen this stock id'ed in the books. Any idea what this is? What about value? Thanks. I would have posted in Rifle section, but the site is acting buggy for...

Me again. I am still researching. I don't buy to many rifles so I want to make sure I get the right one for me. 1. I thought The CZ web site shows the CZ 527 American in .223 to be a 3 round magazine and the CZ 527 Varmint to be a 5 round. But now it looks like both are 5 round...

I bought / built an AR and was shooting it. It turned out great, but I sure do like bolt rifles with a scope. Which would you choose and why? CZ 527 Varmint or CZ 527 American? both in 223 I like the heavier (but not too heavy) barrel of the varmint - will be used for target...

Where should I buy a 7.62x54R Mosin Nagant Rifle? I like this historical aspect of this gun but am not a formal collector. I pick up surplus guns once in a while for the fun of it and to add to the family. Where should I buy? Any guidance on which one to get between laminated and...

Don't know if this is of interest to anyone. Discusses decision for proposed new carbine for military use. http://breakingdefense.com/2013/06/14/army-killed-new-carbine-because-it-wasnt-twice-as-good-as-current-m4/?test=latestnews

I have read that the ammo makers have been running at 100% capacity for years and years now. In the last few years the population is growing, poeple have money again with the economy picking up, and more guns than ever are being sold with many new shooters. Irrespective of the latest...

Unlike some people suggest, this is not a tin hat issue. I think people have real questions about this. One question I have is why are we borrowing money from China, and other sources, to make these purchases. If we have cash, then I am all for it, heck, free bullets for everyone, but to...

What happens to all the records, showing who bought what gun, that the gun stores keep when the gun store closes down or is sold? Does ATF pick up the records?
