I was pointing out that Standing scores matter a bunch, so it's worth putting the time in. On that I think we've all agreed. Beyond that, I don't think the semantics matter all that much.

JMO, it's a cool rifle, but for your purposes, I'd skip the Lux. Even with the Varmint or American, it might take some tweaking to get that scope low enough (and/or your cheek high enough) to get comfortably and consistently positioned behind it. With the Lux, you'd likely have to remove the...

I'm a CZ fan and have 3 452s. If/when I buy another rimfire rifle, it'll most likely be a 457. If it's heavily weighted towards bench with some squirrel and rabbit, I'd consider the 457 Varmint, otherwise I'd go with @CraigC 's CZ457 American. Either way, get a good front rest and rear bag as...

I will say that when I shot Service Rifle, I spent the majority of my live fire working on 2 things. One was my standing, pretty much for the reasons already outlined. In my mind at the time, dropping a round into the 8-ring (or worse) would be far easier while standing than while sitting or...

Which suggests the Standing stage is decisive - the match can be won or lost there. It's just seems to me most see Standing as their weak stage.

IME, “the other stages” are where you can win, but Standing is where you can definitely lose the match 😉.

I agree it’s actually not bad. Looks to be about 6MOA. I don’t know your rifle or ammo, but just standing offhand with a factory AR and no special shooting coat, 6MOA, IMO, is actually very good. The SR-1 target is the target used for Standing Slow shooting for 100 yard HighPower Rifle matches...

Here’s what I’ve been spending quality time with lately - my CZ 452 Scout dropped in a full-sized Klinsky stock topped with a Weaver 3-9x32 scope. I love this handy little package, and use it to sling up for some position shooting. Slung up, NRA Seated position (i.e., on the ground) Slow...

My 3” Model 65. It’s smooth…😉

The "dedicated-ness" of the SSR is mostly marketing, IMO. When it comes to fast DA shooting, weight is your friend. Assuming all 3 revolvers are in good shape, my choice for a revolver specifically for steel, ICORE, and/or IDPA is a standard (but tuned) 686 (my preferred variant is the -5...

Very similar to the El Presidente drill, except you start facing away from the targets. My best El Prez time with a revolver (a 686 on steel) was 6.33 seconds with a 2.75 second reload.

I get it, but if cocking the hammer on a revolver is habit, and you're looking for a SD gun, I'd consider a DAO revolver or even a striker-fired semi-auto. I'm no SD expert, but it's held that in a stressful situation, you'll do whatever is habit, and cocking a revolver hammer in a stressful SD...

If the 686 SSR is from S&W's Performance Center lineup, I'm actually surprised it's not more expensive than the 66 and 686. All 3 are fine revolvers and ought to serve you well if in good condition (how long are the barrels on the 66 and 686?), but IMO, from a "value" perspective, the SSR would...

The DA trigger can be reasonably accurate as well, but, as mentioned, it takes more to master. 15 yards, double action:

IME, I'd say most folks cock the hammer when shooting a DA/SA revolver. Because of it's longer and stiffer trigger pull, mastering the DA trigger takes more practice. The quality of the factory DA trigger often could use improvement to boot.

I'd agree on all points. If the buyer were interested because it's minty and will be bought to just be part of a collection, I doubt the buyer would care about a bad trigger. I don't see an action job helping its value to a collector, though, and, as mentioned, unless the work is verifiably done...

Does it have to be Smallbore? CMP Rimfire Sporter matches (3P without the fancy equipment) are held in Stafford, VA. https://ct.thecmp.org/app/v1/index.php?do=match&task=edit&match=25730

We could probably start a new thread on this topic alone. Lots of rimfire folks like to tinker, modify, and/or shoot itty bitty groups - either for fun, bragging rights, or in competition. Factory barrels can be hit or miss, but there are a number of match-grade aftermarket alternatives, and a...

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I seriously doubt one would ever shoot a barrel out - at least with most rimfire ammo. These aren’t like CF rifles with a big powder charge pushing a jacketed bullet at 2800fps. Folks over at RFC frequently discuss swapping barrels, but I don’t ever recall...

FWIW, “light primer strikes” (meaning a light dent in the primer) just means the round didn’t go off. You said the problem showed itself during rapid, but not slow, DA shooting. It’s possible the trigger didn’t come fully forward to reset. You might be riding the trigger on the return, the...
