I wish! I’d bet that would be a $2,500.00 rifle. But, I still hope they do it.

Dead thread resurrection. It looks like it’s happening. It's not the Long Ranger Express, but similar. Henry Supreme.

I tried some Tenex in my B14R as well. It was awful. About 3” at 100 yards.
I was so happy!

I’ve been luckier. I go a lot further than 50/50. I dumped three or four bottles of Alox I got with sizer dies into a mason jar, then rinsed the bottles with mineral spirits. Then I mixed probably...

Yeah, but it's not funny that way.
I'm with the ".22 is a weird world" crowd. My father shoots a 522. He kept telling me he was out of Thunderbolts, and that it bummed him out, as the gun "likes...

Well, that makes sense. I think most Olympians use those two interchangeably.

First day out with the Bergara, thought I'd share. I really only tested Norma and Eley Target. I shot a group with Green Tag as well, but only that one lucky group.

Great news! I'm actually waiting eagerly for the 336's, but I'm glad to see them moving down the list.

This is encouraging. I bought a Ruger American LR Target 8378 and was so disappointed that I took it back. I picked up a B14R, and intend on taking out for it's first outing tomorrow. Thanks for...

I assumed that it's just threaded onto the muzzle on 5/8 x 24 threads. How did you make the 1/4" adjustment? Did you just leave it unscrewed a few threads?
I tucked it in just behind the shoulder blade itself, so no bone chucks. But I did clip the shoulder meat some unfortunately. It’s further back than the picture makes it seem.
It was an...

As predicted (by Randy I should say, I had concerns), it makes meat.

Current use scenario, nothing over 150 yards. And trying to keep warm.

Yup, I have. It makes a ton of sense. I was just wondering if the Whelen was an option for him.

My Dad has a 1909 Argentine that has a badly corroded bore.
He's always talked about "doing something with it", like rebarreling it or having a 'smith sporterize it.
The question I have: is it a...
You and I are synced up. I’m thinking the exact same thing.
My range only has target holders to allows shots at 25, 50 & 100, but 1” high at 50 describes virtually the same arc that you...

Nice work, and, I’m sorry about Gypsy.
I am one of those that seems to cope exceptionally poorly with the loss of a dog, and sympathize with others more over the loss of theirs than the loss of a...
Sure, I appreciate the words of encouragement. And, during times of less economic comfort in my life, I might "push limits" in hopes of filling the freezer. At this point, I can still say I'm...

Years ago, I had a SWD M11/9. I preferred shooting the Lage slow fire upper, but shot the stock upper occasionally. I actually cast for that thing. I shot the RCBS 9mm 147 sized to 356. It was...

I can read the obvious, it’s a Burris, it’s 3.5x10x50. It’s a second focal plane scope with three stadia lines (presumably 200, 300, & 400 yards BDC marks). Other than that, I got nothing.

4” group from a bench, with a rest. Now, I know some of you are virtually living breathing ransom rests. Your offhand, in the woods, groups and your concrete bench groups are basically the same. ...
I tried these again at 50, then at 100. Drops were as predicted using .070 as a BC and 1300FPS for muzzle velocity.
At 50 yards, I was 2" center to center. However, by 100 I was looking at a...
