I feel like a 2.5 inch sp101 is very much a snubby. I won't argue about the 3 inch on my belt being a bit bigger, but I can put it in a overall or coat pocket just the same as a charter bulldog in .44

I would expect these to be selling for right at $379-$399 if we weren't in a panic - which is causing ALL rifles to sell for higher prices. I've owned an NEF and it was okay, not a No1, but it was a...

of course they are! Anyone with the ability to put their wares on the open market and has the small business flexibility to do so SHOULD be doing so!
Yeah, the panic sucks and all, but people are...

yep! I thought about how the reduction in weight with cutting the lead would result in a boolit more suited to a slow twist. also, SHOULD be lower pressures.
the main issue being the lifter in a...

ah, but the Command Economy doesn't really permit that. if I could make $100 for 2 hours work anytime I wanted I'd retire right quick.

I was thinking of a collet jig to make it as consistent and easy as possible, possibly a top swage if needed to give an ogive.
given the usual state of a model 1890 barrel, I'll debate accuracy...

i'm not blowing the money to try it, but I suspect 22 remington auto (model 16) would actually chamber in the 1903, but not vice versa.
I've got a bit of a stock of the 22 win auto and a 1903, I...

Right now, 22 long is selling for over $200 per 400 on gunbroker. Now, we all know that's just silly. But some of us winchester shooters "need" 22 long and google is mighty unhelpful on this idea, so...

I don't think it's going to go down to previous prices. I really think the 3 year price ..... it's gong to be 10% to 20% up on .22 - one thing I do expect the left to pull off is restrictive industry...

I think the analogy is good, but limited.

I can VERY occasionally find walmart having .22LR or .22WMR at standard retail prices (5 to 9 cents per round) - up until mid january that was a couple hundred rounds a week. since mid january it has...
Forum: Rimfire Area
you are costing me money.
I have 89, 94, and 15 models of the favorite and I agree with you. Honestly, I'd be as happy if the older ones were chambered in .22short. the 1915 I feel is a much...

if you ever make centerfire breech blocks, let me know. I've done a no6 conversion and shoot .32 short colt in it for fun. I think the stevens could hold up to .32SWL, which is way easier to get, if...

I never bought ammo at cabelas. I'm PRETTY SURE sam gabbert wasn't selling S&B 115gr at 13cpr plus shipping as a loss leader. (15cpr until nevada got into the online sales tax game, then I had to use...

I've been shooting .22wmr for a longish while and it's always been more expensive than factory centerfire- yeah, somehow 4cpr .22LR has managed to be available and mostly accurate enough for soda...
Forum: Rimfire Area
three main reasons-
1: far too many firearms made to fire both .22LR and .22WMR - and that's not good for either.
2: .22WMR is VERY accurate with a consistent load in a good rifle like a 452-...

22 WRF.
easy answer. no outside lube, no heeled bullet, shorter than, but chamber compatible with 22WMR. high velocity gets you into the 200ft lb. range.
bigger? meh. why? what's it going to...

35 remington. but the 357max is likely to be pretty handy.

I just picked up my new to me henry 22wmr today... I want to say the 327 is my favorite. But this one might out varmint the 327. Sure feels handy.
I suppose I just dislike the conceit (which is almost always NOT based on experience ) of "DOUBLE THE AMMO OR YOU DIE" arguments.
