Bill: Sometimes it is also beginners luck. I had a lady ask me about shooting in our Tuesday evening league a few years ago. We shoot the PSL card for money and bragging rights. After talking to her a bit I discovered she had not a clue as to what we were doing. I invited her to attend one...

Kettlefoot has the absolute best large rim fire bench rest range in the country, bar none. There are some great rim fire ranges, but no other 60 bench line dedicated to rim fire exists. What a terrific place for us rim fire junkies to travel to. The Triple Crown to be held Memorial Day...

Ernie: Different uses require different tools. Most of us understand that. bob

A friend has a pair of Les Baer custom varmit .223's. Ultra expensive, flawless function and superbly accurate. My question is when/why is it worth the extra money (3x-5x the price of a "normal" ar) if ever? My AR is an old 30 carbine from WWII. Fun to shoot and will do anything an AR...

Molon: Tony Harper gets full credit for coming up with the Friday evening ARA idea. Cross pollinating is always a good thing, unless it is not. This will give hard core IR50 shooters an opportunity to try ARA targets if they want to without extra travel. ARA shooters might just stay over...

Sorry, I'm a rim fire competitor. My opinion is not germaine. bob

And FDR was instrumental in putting us on the long slippery slope that remains today. The growth of the Federal Government and rejection of the Constitutional requirements for limited Federal Government were started by TR, sped up by Wilson and perfected by FDR. They then lay somewhat dormant...

A good point. When did the BATF relax the "on premises only" restriction on FFL dealers? I don't think it has been all that long ago. bob

How do they plan to enforce a ban on private face to face sales? At gun shows you simply step outside into the parking lot. All firearms would need to be registered by serial number and who the owner is before any enforcement would be possible, no? My FFL charges $50 to execute a transfer, up...

Tim: I don't know that it can be avoided. That is why I try to keep it under control. I used to use Iosso paste and a nylon brush. That is a messy job and Iosso might be a tad bit too aggressive. Every barrel I have builds the carbon ring at a different rate. I let the rifle tell me when...

I'm not familiar with the product you ask about. Rim Fire barrels are different than CF barrels. In rim fire we worry about wax, carbon build up at the CL ring and avoiding any damage to the lands. Rim fire proven solvents are what you should use so you don't remove ALL the wax build up from...

Stos The real name is Slicker Than Owl Sxxx (short name for excrement). look here to learn and/or buy: http://reloaders.com/ bob

I use STOS. bob

Calvin: I can offer an anecdotal response. On my 4 triggers I have not adjusted ANYTHING but the wop on one which came at about 2.3 ounces and I like mine right at 1.9 to 2.0. A few seconds with the provided wrench and it was right where I wanted it. I mounted them in the hangers and...

"These triggers are awesome. If a Jewell is worth $200 a Bix is worth $1000." Sure glad I got my 4 Bix n Andy triggers for my rim fire rifles Three in rifles and one for a spare that has not yet been needed. These triggers are worth every cent I spent on them. I'll never look back. bob

Sadly I must report that I received a voice mail this morning informing me that Wendell Dean has left the range. Anyone who has ever shot at Piney Hill in Luray VA has met and enjoyed his company and likely has been beaten on a card or two there by Wendell. He is a member of the IR50/50 HOF...

Wow! I can offer you some reading material that may answer many of your questions. Problem is for many of your questions there are or will be multiple answers which will confuse you. Rarely is a single answer correct for all. Specific questions here will get responses. General questions...

I suggest you pick up the phone and call Jerry Stiller and ask him. Jerry is a wealth of information and he won't lead you astray. By the way the new action is the 2500x. The short answers to some of your questions in my opinion are; action stiffness, smooth loading and bolt closing and...

George: It looks correctly scored. As you know there are no X's in ARA and theoretically no you don't have to touch the center dot for a 100. What you have to do is NOT break the outer edge of the ring, if you do its a 50. That is why we call it a worst edge target. When I use ARA targets...
