Any suggestions on a starter 22 benchrest rifle? A long time ago I had a Rem. 40XBR 22 but had to sell it. Loved the rifle, shot great, and would love to find another one as nice. Since they seem to be as scarce as lips on a chicken, I thought I would solicit opinions on a good, reasonably...

Tim - I quote you, "clueless about", "woodsy charm" and "blockheads". This sounds like you belong on another forum. I had the impression that all of us deserve some respect. We can share information in an adult manner, respecting everyone and their opinion. Arrogance never helps anyone...

Scope Help drknite - I'm glad you have a Mueller and like it, as I do mine. Apparently, Tim has not looked through one. I'm one that just can't jump off the cliff because that's what the leader does. 27-T

scope help James in Tenn. - If your shooting 50 yds, I would suggest that you take a look at the Mueller 8-32 X 44MM with the 30mm tube. I know, you never heard of it before! I have one on my 40XB and love it. Look up "Mueller Scopes" on your computer and take a look. Very nicely priced...

drknite - I'm like you, I have a 40XB that is new to me and I'm trying to find information. The barrel tension screws on my rifle are backed out so as not to touch. The barrel is free floated back to about 1" from the receiver. It groups the best, with several different brands of ammo, and...

Gentlemen - Some time back, there was a company that offered an "off eye blocker" that clamped to the rear of your scope to aid cross eye dominence. Does anyone know if such an item is still available and where it can be purchased? It was nice because it allowed a person to keep both eyes open...

CZ 452 or CZ 455 Art - Thanks for the very good input and your perspective on different avenues to pursue. You mentioned a "fly trigger". You got me on that one. What are they, where are they, a nd so on. In reading your very good reply, I guess you would have to weigh the differences on...

CZ 452 0r CZ 455 Thank you, Gentlemen, for your input. Are there any particular Anschutz models that you would recommend, again, based on my intended use? Here again, I am new to .22 rimfire target shooting and the various Anschutz models. I will be shooting off of a front target rest...

Gentlemen- I'm looking to buy a CZ rifle for fun match's and paper punching at 50 yds. and 100 yds. I've been looking at a CZ 452 American and a CZ 455 Varmint heavy barrel. I plan on scoping the rifle but thats about it, other than possibly a trigger job or replacement trigger in the 2 oz...

Gem Pro 250 Lo and behold, the replacement scale arrived today, July 1st. Thanks for everyone's interest. 27-Troadster Jim

Gem Pro 250 Dave and Wilber - I sent the scale to the Phoenix repair station almost three weeks ago. Still haven't heard from them or gotten the scale back. I sent it to them 2-day priority mail, also. Since you both asked, I thought I'd let you know what is going on (or, not going on)...

Gem Pro 250 Dave - I just expect value received for my money. The manufacturers do not advertise "it might work and it might not" or they do not advertise "this is a half assed action that will need a lot of work". Dave, I feel we should expect some quality for $1200 or $1400 or $250 dollars...

caution about Lyman This is another example of my concern about a Gem Pro 250 scale (actually 2 scales) that do not work. In my opinion, these companies are in such a rush to bring some gadget to the market place, they don't bother to do much testing. If these electronic items give us this...

Gem Pro 250 Charlie - I guess I'm just from the old school that when you spend your money for something, why doesn't it work!!!! A good warranty is nice, but if the thing is made properly in the first place, you shouldn't have to be sending the item anywhere. In my case, this is the second...

Gem Pro 250 Thanks for the input, guy's. I'll try that linier calibration that you mentioned. 27-Troadster

Several months ago, I purchased a Gem - Pro 250 electronic scale. It never would work. After repeated complaints to the warranty people in Phoenix, they finally replaced the scale. Now the new one works but, it weighs incorrectly. A 20 grain RCBS check weight weighs 43.3 grains on the...

Gentlemen - Has anyone had any experience with the Lyman Borescope, recently released? Before spending a couple hundred bucks, I'd appreciate any pro's and con's on it's performance. The price makes it very attractive but does it do what a borescope was meant to do? Thanks for your input...

Jerry - Not to be confrontational, but 28.9/29 grs. of 133 seems to be a hot load, to me. Just for the fun of it, check the VV loading manual. I've noticed in "Precision Rifleman" that people are placing in matches loading 27 and 27.5 grs. of 133. I guess that I am in the minority, but, I...

Wilber - Thank you for your reply. I found a dealer with some 65gr. Berger's and I ordered them this afternoon. Thank you again, for your help and your offer. 27-T

What's happened to all the 62 to 68 grain benchrest bullets? Everyone of the dealers I've tried are all back-ordered. Anybody got any ideas or input? Thanks, 27-T
