      17hmr, 22mag or build my 10/22?

      Not lookin' to start a fight, but how many have you shot with one?. I've dropped them flat at ranges up to 140 yards using both the 20g and 17g bullets and killed prairie dogs out to 255. The laser-like trajectory and "zap" factor of the .17HMR cannot be denied. Anywhere from 400-500 fps over...

      Ruger revolver smith in the region?

      A .22 I've never seen before...

      Mystical accuracy. The finest, most accurate of its kind in the world. There's a reason olympic-level shooters use these. Too bad Hammerli's Trailside wasn't a little better thought out.

      Looking to get a new .22 revolver, options?

      Sounds like a new Smith is in your future. That said, I, too, was looking for a .22 caliber DA/SA wheel gun many years ago. I wanted something portable in stainless and settled on a Smith M63. Wonderful revolver. However, I've found that I shoot it in the SA mode 90% of the time, hence...

      Suggestions on first Tactical Rifle

      Sorry Jon5212, I made a poor assumption that you were inexperienced. Mea culpa. I think the Savage will serve you well.

      Suggestions on first Tactical Rifle

      If you're at the point where you want to "work on your aim," you really need to rethink your way-ahead. Let me elaborate: I'd really like to drop 6 figures on a McLaren F1 and run the Autobahn at 200 mph on a regular basis. However, I currently drive a Toyota Tacoma. I should probably start...

      AR build questions

      Depends. If you want supreme accuracy, match your chamber to your ammunition, i.e., .223 chamber, .223 ammunition. I fire .223 in my 5.56 chamber and get split shoulders and accuracy in the 2 inch range. If you're looking to shoot large quantities of bulk surplus, i.e. Wolf, Barnual, Bear...

      .22lr vs. .22 magnum

      You ought to see what it will do to a prairie dog! IIRC, the OP was looking to shoot "varmints and coyotes" with his rifle, i.e., vermin that you're not concerned with blowing up. I'd hunt tree rats with my HMR, but only with 20g XTPs and ONLY go for head shots. A solid .22LR bullet in a...

      AR build questions

      Rock River cuts a Wylde chamber in some of their barrels. Allows you to shoot both .223 and 5.56 and still maintain reasonable accuracy. If you're talking target/varmint vs plinking, you owe it to yourself to scrape and save for a Rock River National Match trigger. One of the single best...

      .22lr vs. .22 magnum

      Ahhh, the Mag. Grew up shooting an old Mossberg that my dad carried around in the truck. Must have killed a hundred coyotes with that gun. It's always held a special place in my heart. BUT....along came the HMR. I was all set to buy a CZ 452 in .22 Mag and found out they had it in the (then) new...

      Twist rates? Confused...

      Yep. My CZ 527 Kevlar has a 1:9 twist which is fantastic for prairie dogs using 40-55g bullets. I tried some Federal Gold Medal Match 69g fodder just to see how it would shoot, and it didn't shoot nearly as well as it should have, being world-class ammunition. Obviously the barrel twist rate...
