    H&r 5200

    Match Chamber The 5200 is the same as the M12, both have a match chamber, this means, part of the bullet is engaged into the rifling when seated. This makes it harder to extract a live round. I have owned a couple of M12's, extracting a live round requires either digging it out with a small...

    Finally... I think I'm getting there....

    Fwiw If you like the rifle setup that way and it does what you expect, that is all that matters. For a CZ and especially a 455, your target looks good. This was shot with a CZ452 Trainer @ 50 yds, using bi-pods as well. Mine is basically stock, other than some trigger work and for a 300.00...

    50 yd BR targets

    Not bashing anyone, but........ I think that is the one everyone wants to see. "He said the one he used did not have the copyright on it. Even offered to post a picture of the one he used that didn't have it" That would pretty much settle the whole thing. POST IT.

    50 yd BR targets

    There are several good 50yd targets that are available. IR50 has a good target that is easy enough to score, it uses best edge. 25 bulls and multiple sighters. Available from Wayne Wills at IR5050.com ABRA also offer a good target with 20 bulls, again best edge scoring. Not so many sighters...

    Velocity test with barrel being shortened 1" at a time

    Maybe he could not find a 10/22 at the time. Why not a CZ ? You might be right on the barrel, but he may have not wanted a taper lapped one for this test. Now the trigger is far better than most OEM triggers, very adjustable. Now the ignition is not a PoS, if it is, then every Turbo and 10X is...

    Best 50y 22 rimfire scope

    They refunded your money and your gun shy to buy another ? To me, that would be at least one reason to buy another. Suppose they sent it back and told you it was well within spec? I think I have at least 7 Weaver T-36s, I have not had any major concerns about any of them. Kinda like the CZ...

    40XB questions

    I think your headed in the right direction, as for barrel contour, the #7 would be my pick, if your looking to add weight and not all that interested in a tuner. It mimics the 40X contour and is HEAVY, no tuner or at best, a really light one is all that needed. Otherwise I would go with the .900...

    40XB questions

    Just a thought, if your planning to spend that much on a 40X action, why not just go full custom. I would keep my commercial 40X in tact, because its always worth $$$. Making a customized shooter out of it, won't make it worth anymore. I would look at the Stiller / Holeshot arms Trident or...

    New informal league for RF

    During the warmer months our group shoots matches each week, in a open air barn @ 50 yds, so weather is not a factor. We use a variety of targets, but mostly RBA and IR50, basically for ease of scoring. We normally have 8-18 shooters each week. We do two targets for a 25.00 entry, the payout is...

    IR50 10 Shot

    I shot the match at Piney Hill and there were 3 10s shot out of 950 bulls, I was lucky enough to have one. Thought I had 2 as I had what would seem to have been a 10, right beside the one that scored a ten, to the naked eye they looked identical, plug said different. Personally, I like the...

    How do you know if an Anschutz barrel is shot out?

    Clean both I would clean it completely. Both the barrel and the bolt. I do use Kroil and Seafoam Deep Creep, to clean my barrels, ( about everyone has their own secret sauce and method of cleaning). A bronze brush and Kroil will get the job done, few strokes with the brush, then patches...

    one really bad shot

    234 - 6X target, I assume it was a USBR target. The 3 at 11:00 could have been wind from right to left, the rest of the misses, are most likely from the ammo or any of the things Tim mentioned. Buy some different ammo and keep trying George

    Which front rest for barnyard 50 yds?

    I just use Bi-Pods, Harris or one of my own design. I think it works anyway. George

    ARA or IR50/50 which to choose??

    I have and still shoot both. I find IR to be somewhat a more forgiving target. When I have got my act together, I have shot 250s with 16 to 20 Xs, usually average 248, while in ARA I have shot 2400, but I am usually in the 2000 to 2200 range, this is shooting inside on both. Neither one will win...

    ammo

    If you know Bill Hinegardner, the one time owner of IR50/50, he may be able to help you out. I bought 5 bricks of UM 1 and 900 from him last year, at that time I think he had more. George

    50 Yards on these. Scoring will depend on the target being shot, some utilize a small center dot, referred to as a X while others use the highest score of 100 for the center. Some use worst edge scoring ( touching the next lowest scoring ring ) and others best edge touching the best scoring...

    Differences in rifles. The differences in a good BR gun and a off the shelf sporter type. CZ452 Trainer, this is the best I can do with it, except for the trigger ( now at 4oz) its bone stock. This was on a night that was not too windy. This is from a Remington 540XR target rifle, also bone...

    I would first see what the club is going to have as far as rules go. Some clubs will allow anything, while other are more restrictive. As in OEM rifles only, bi-pods or sandbags only, ammo limitations..... Once you have that figured out, spend yor money on a good rifle. Nothing wrong with the...
