Since I wipe after every shot its pretty easy to clean up before I leave the range. I use my moose milk patches (5:1 Tru Sol cutting oil) until they come out clean, then I clean it like any other...

I use the cold pressed jojoba in my Emmert's Modified and Pope Modified black powder lubes with excellent results. Yes its expensive but you are only using a couple of ounces in a pound of lube, a...

OS OK I'll have to ask my buddy what his weight intervals were but I seem to remember 1 grain. BTW if you catch yourself looking through the sights for over like 7 seconds without taking the shot...

You might try seperating them by weight, one of my shooting buddies did that years ago and claimed there was a difference. It was so labor intensive he never did it again but realize we shoot 10 or...

OS OK, I do not know anyone with a Savage MKII FVT but the ammo I see you have been using is not going to get the job done. We tend to use European wonder rifles or heavily customized 52's and 37's...

No, this is only for 22LR and only on this specific action. Anschutz traditionally are pressed and pinned barrel actions, this one came out about 20 years ago, now they have a new one that is...

The action is slit on one side of the barrel bore and there are 3 screws that pinch the action and hold the barrel. Here is a photo I found on the internet.

Thats a Anschutz 2013 in a Grunig and Elmiger RSII stock. Hard to believe its a 22LR huh? Its my smallbore position rifle for conventional and international competitions. She shoots amazing well. ...

I am sorry to announce that the Reade LR black powder match is canceled for this year. We will try again next year.
