Because of the way the cam works it drifts as I understand it when it goes up and down. That may not be the best way to explain it, but is a known side effect of the way the joystick works. Just something you have to be ok with. Not that its good or bad, just something to be aware of. I end...

Before I bought a joystick, I would go to a match as use one. As many don't like them as do like them. I have tried them and don't care for them personally. Others love them. Sometimes it depends how you shoot. If you shoot up and down, they aren't for you. Go to a match and look and try...

Tad covered it. Only one I can think of that is also close is Green River in Bowling Green. South of Nashville in Chapel Hill myself.

Gorham does his work via Killough's. Just call them to discuss and they will help take care of everything.

40x I would find an old 40x and shoot it. If he likes it, put a new barrel and stock on it. There are plenty of 40x’s out there that have been updated and won matches.

Tony, I have heard a couple of things that I will pass along as information only. I have built a Sporter but don't have any matches close so I haven't even ammo tested it much yet. 1) Scope power. This has been beat to death and I won't argue it, but I have heard more than once that people...

How do you know, were you part of the scoring team? Did you see it plugged? Seems quite plausible that touches the dot when plugged having plugged and scored many targets myself. This isn't a naked eye test. At least two out of three people on the scoring team would have to agree it touches...

I think you are referring to bottle cap matches. Try this thread for some basic info and example photos. http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=287640

None. Most don't. Most don't test by shooting groups either. It is about how ammo scores, not groups. You need to shoot a card to see how well ammo does.

You don't see a lot of changing brands of ammo during the same card in match, but it certainly can and has been done. Yes, you need to shoot a few foulers to maybe get more of the new type of lube in, but I don't believe there is significant disadvantage to do this. We change lots on the...

I hate to burst your bubble, but as mentioned of RFC there aren't any low cost actions for a competition BR gun. Your potentially cheapest option is to find a screaming deal on a rough 40x and have it blueprinted, but then you are up to close to where you are just buying a new Holeshot...

Yes, you will be wasting money if you want to compete. It is a nice sporter, but not a competition gun for benchrest. I would be watching for the one just mentioned above. Trust us, the old adage of buy once cry once has never been more applicable than in this game. It doesn't mean you...

You have obviously never competed at a match or met me. Some of the finest people in the sport are rimfire competitors. I am pretty confident anyone who has met me would tell you I am a good ambassador for the sport, but it doesn’t matter, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. My...

Regardless of how you did it and what you thought, it is copyrighted. Why not design your own if you just want to have them copied? Seems in a small world of rimfire we would have more respect for other people's intellectual property.

Yes, I have a PM 932. I also have a 1440 GS lathe. He has a lot of options and you won’t find better service in that class of machine. There is a large following on the Hobby Machinist forum. You will find most anything you want to know over there. Or just call Matt. He will give you an...

No, just start shooting and ammo testing. It takes about 1000 rounds before most would consider a barrel to be broke in. Find what ammo it likes and go for it.

John Langley in Ohio would be another that I know works on 40x's.

Certainly not a deal breaker for many of us, but for those on a budget or always penny pinching, it is a consideration. Just wanted to provide the facts, they can decide what they want to do.

I know some use the Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14x40. Only problem is they also then replace the reticle. But it has a 30mm tube which helps. https://www.leupold.com/scopes/rifle-scopes/mark-4-lr-t-4-5-14x40mm There is also a Leupold VX3i 6.5-20x40 with 30mm tube and fine duplex reticle. It is...

It’s also lighter and has side parallax.
