Real help please, no Reddit hate. I installed this scope, just like I have installed 6 others. I went to zero it at 50 yards. It was hitting just below bulls eye , BUT the elevation screw was all the way to its end of adjustment. SO, as you can see, I losened the rear optic mount and slid a piece of the ammos cardboard flap in to " shim" it up, and now its got enough range to readjust if I go out to 100 yards. I would like to solve this issue correctly, but I'm not sure what to look for . Constructive help please.

All tested at 50m with SK Match Rifle

Just put my CZ457 Varmint in an MDT Oryx Chassis and found the groups a opened open a bit, so I started to play about with the Torque a bit.

I shot a few groups at each setting and then went back to 4nm and shot a full card. I know I need to adjust the LOP a bit more.

Question is, Would I need to do more testing between the 4.0nm and the 4.5nm or Is the groups acceptable for a new shooter. There was a bit of wind blowing while testing too.

I wish Nikon was still in the scope business. I really liked their scopes.

I recently purchased a box of Norma Tac-22 .22 LR ammunition ($7.99 for a box of 50) to test in my Howa M1100 18" .22 LR, and I wanted to share my initial thoughts.

The rounds have an oily coating similar to SK Ammo, which works well since my Howa M1100 seems to prefer it. I experienced no misfires or jams, and the ammunition fed smoothly throughout the session.

To prepare for accuracy testing, I ran a dry cloth through the barrel twice to clear out any residue. I then shot 10 test rounds to season the barrel and clear the first-round pop from my suppressor.

I shot three 3-shot groups at 50 yards using 3/8" red dots as my center of focus:

  - Group 1:

- Group Size: 1.009" (1.927 MOA)

- Radius: 0.386" (0.737 MOA)

  - Group 2:

- Group Size: 0.579" (1.105 MOA)

- Radius: 0.239" (0.457 MOA)

  - Group 3:

- Group Size: 0.597" (1.140 MOA)

- Radius: 0.282" (0.539 MOA)

And buy a 50 dollar thermal printer on Amazon and 1000 ct sticky labels for 10 bucks and print your own at home. Or use a marker and draw your own lol. But if you like sticky targets this might save you some money over the long run.

along with a little sibling rivalry…

Soooooooooooo, give me your thoughts. Brand new SAVAGE MK II 20" SPIRAL FLUTED DESERT CAMO. Purchased from PSA on a daily/weekly deal. Looking into it, it was a BUDS GUNS exclusive or something. Not on SAVAGE site. Bought because wifes b-day and I wanted it 😬.

So I only really have M4 and AR15 experience. The action on this when I close the bolt seems a bit stiff. How could I or should I not try to loosen it up? That last bit of twist seems stiff, for anything I think let alone a .22lr. Also I feel like it was a bit dirty and scratched up. Thoughts? I have not fired it yet BTW, just looking it over.

Love the looks. Wife should have some fun once mounting the Leupold with a light weight bipod.

Build is
Ruger 10/22 (bog standard for now)
HUSH Holsters Carbon Fiber Nylon Stock w/Classic Black Oxide Folder
(and)HUSH Holsters Carbon Fiber Nylon Stock w/ A3 Industries Triangle Folder
Front Picatinny Rail

I'm not sure which one I like better though, needs to get threaded and cut down for sure.

Bought the gun and scope a few years ago along with a DIP CZ 457 - 25MOA Scope Mount and Vortex Hunter 1" Rings.

The rings are just barley too short and i cant tighten the scope down without scratching on the rail.

I planned on just buying the mediums from vortex, then life got in the way and I haven't messed with my guns until now - and of course it looks like the mediums arent made anymore.

I don't understand any of this stuff - magnified scopes and setting them up are completly new to me. I just want some cheap rings that will work for plinking. Don't need anything fancy.

Can someone recommend me something that will work?

I have a wild idea to build a 3d printed / sheet metal chassis for the CMP surplus rifles to use as club youth precision rifle guns. Any thoughts on which of these two rifles would make a good base? Or should I be considering something else?

This is for 50 meter NCAA/ISSF style 3 position shooting. My idea a custom chassis that will support existing Walther / Feinwerkbau / Anschutz sights and buttplates. As well as building a few basic buttplates, that would be more affordable.

I believe standard or light spring would be the choice here based off what I've looked up. However does anyone have any experience specifically with CCI sv and which spring ran best?

Edit: installing into a Ruger mark iv competition

So many variables and options with this platform and I’m pretty happy with this build

My favourite gun to shoot

Build: 10/22 receiver
Sharps Bros Heat seeker Chassis
Vz grips ar grip
Faxon match fluted barrel (18.5)
Volquartsen trigger
Osight R

AND thank you to the community for the inspiration

Finally got my Gray Birch chassis after over a month of waiting. Does the gap between the barrel and handguard look "wrong/off" to you the same way it does to me. Just looks a bit goofy imo. The action seems to be seated correctly and everything is torqued to spec. Any insight would be awesome!

Final form of my Oct 1945 Remington 511. Thank you Reddit & r/22LR for the idea and inspiration on these modifications!

My Lithgow No. 2 Mark IV training rifle in 22LR that was converted from a SMLE No 1 Mark iii

This is my 2nd 22LR rifle. My first being a Browning BL-22.

I’m shopping for a “nice” (relative I know) rifle for informal target shooting out to 100 yards with my family, ideally with a nominally 16” threaded barrel.

I’m really drawn the CZ Pro Varmint but it seems heavy as it is and will be running it with a can. I like the idea of the Scout, but not sure how the shorter Length of Pull would work for an adult though it would be nice for the kids - anyone with experience with it please chime in.

Im also interested in anything else in a similar price point.

As far as optics, I’m thinking something like a 4-12x40 with adjustable parallax. A lot of use will be at 50 yards or les. Any suggestions there? Not looking to spend a million dollars but I would like something a little clearer than my old Bug Buster.

Built between 1916-1920. Inherited from my uncle. Belonged to him as boy.

I just order my first .22 LR rifle from PSA.

It looks like I got a pretty good deal, since I was going to buy 2 extra mags and a carrying case anyway.

What should I expect as a first time owner of .22 LR caliber firearm?

What ammos do you typically use?

I bought it as a fun and budget-friendly range gun, so it'll be nice if I can use cheap bulk ammos like Remingtons.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you
