    Leupold Scope Trouble

    I have a fairly new Leupold VX2 3-9x33 Rimfire EFR scope on a CZ 452 22 WMR. I noticed that when I adjust the focus with the eyepiece the reticle will jump around a little, maybe 20% of the open area with the fine duplex wire. There's a little play in the eyepiece on the end of the scope. I...

    Browning Maxus or Benelli Super Vinci

    I'm trying to decide what to buy myself for Christmas. Are there any opinions one way or the other? I would mostly use it with 3.5" turkey loads so I'm leaning towards the softer shooting Maxus despite it's reported heavy trigger. The Browning Maxus is about $350 cheaper than the Super...

    243 Micro X-Bolt and Barnes TSX Combo: Not Good

    I bought a box of Federal's 243 Win ammo loaded with Barnes 85 gr. TSX for my youngster to use this deer season in his Browning micro Midas X-Bolt. I've used ammo with the Barnes TSX bullet in the past with other rifles and they shoot great. However, on Saturday the best group I obtained at...

    X-Bolt Experience

    I recently purchased an Browning X-Bolt Micro Midas in 243 Win. for a 10 year old son to use for deer hunting. Great trigger, free floated barrel and quite the beautiful walnut stock. I cleaned out the preservative in the barrel using Hoppe's No. 9 and JB bore paste. First and second times to...

    Factory Ammo Round Does Not Chamber

    One round in a box of factory 260 Rem. ammo does not chamber in my Rem. 700. I am not able to put the bolt into full battery with the handle down. There is no visible damage or difference between it and the other rounds in the box which chamber just fine. I was wondering if anyone else has...

    Mossberg 500 Super Bantam Combo 20 ga. Trouble

    I purchased a 20 ga. Mossberg 500 Super Bantam for my sons as a starter shotgun. The combo means it included both a rifled slug and shot barrels. The shot barrel patterns consistently very high and to the right, 15" @30 yds., using aftermarket fiber optic sights, Mossberg chokes, third party...

    Youth Shotguns

    I've been shopping for a youth shotgun. I've noticed that many of the youth shotguns such as Mossberg's 500 Bantam and Remington's 11-87 and 870 are seemingly single purpose, turkey or rifled for deer, with very short barrels, 21 or 22 inches with only one or no choke tubes. I understand that...

    Muzzleloader Scope

    I mounted a Leupold scope with the LR reticle on my tack driving muzzle loader. The reticle's bullet drop marks that are intended to work at 300, 400, and 500 yards with a high powered rifle zeroed at 200 yards work well with a 250 grain sabot round with two pellets of T7 zeroed at 100 yards. At...

    Spin Jags

    The spin jag is a great idea but not all are created equal. I've broken two of Thompson Center's spin jags off in as many trips to the range. The TC spin jag breaks at the 10-32 screw end which is made out of the same soft brass as the jag leaving the screw end in the ram rod rendering both...

    Old Rem 700 Leather Sling

    The Rem 700 BDL I purchased in 1976 came with a 1" oiled leather quick adjust type sling with detachable swivels. I like the sling so much I'd like to buy another one for a different rifle. Does anyone know if these slings are still made or where I can find one to purchase?

    How to Lighten Savage-Steven's Cadet Trigger

    I looked around quite a bit and settled on a Savage Steven's Cadet .22 bolt action for my 7 and 9 year old sons to learn marksmanship. The length of pull is perfect for a youngster. Unlike the Savage Cub it does not have the Accutrigger which seemed like overkill to me for this type of...

    Leupold 3.5-10x50mm on Colt HBAR Flattop

    I finally found a practical use for the “pre-ban” Colt HBAR flat top I purchased in 1996. I saw a lot of coyotes while deer hunting up on the ridge behind my house last month and I'm going to thin them out a little. In the past I've shot it with the carry handle sights so I know it's a tack...
