Re: Ruger Single Six LR Cylinder

hozz: No, it's not okay. The rim diameter is different on 22WMR (larger) than 22LR ammo, that's why two cylinders are supplied on convertable revolvers. If a 22LR is fired, it may likely rupture the case rim, cause escaping gas, could injure the shooter, and do the revolver no good at all. You shou...

Re: How much magnification do you use?

Those of you that can recall for example the 6x Weaver .22 rifle scope will recall that most varmint shooting in those days was done with fixed power scopes, and while the classic 10-12x Unertl had more than enough power do the job with the average accuracy prevalent in box stock hunting rifles of t...

Re: Portable shooting benches

I have to agree that Rick's design is a real winner, regardless of who does the fabrication. I have had one for about 8 years and it still "sings." http://macsys.home.mindspring.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/260davec.jpg However, there is an argument for the home fabricated ve...

Glen, If the bullets are a buck a piece and you buy a box of fifty, you,ll have enough to check your zero and kill a critter each year for many years. You would pay $5 a year for bullets anyway so what's the big deal if you spend $10 for better performance. That's a very small part of the investmen...

I might be able to afford one if my rancher buddies would start paying me about a buck per sage rat I eliminate from their alfalfa......after a couple of seasons that is..... :?

Configure your own scope on www.usoptics.org

$$$$$$$$$$ :eek: :eek: :eek: Bad Dad: Yes USO scopes are not cheap. However, if you look at your gun safe, wouldn't you give something to have a little more room in that sucker? So instead of twelve rifles, you only need six. Other than a few odds and zodds collected over the years by accident, tha...

Oh, I've been there too. Note the white strip of masking tape around the elevation knob on the 6.5-30x58 SN-3. That white strip allowed me to put the snipers range chart on the elevation knob. Notes such as fence line, large PD mound, dirt pile etc were noted on there. PDs are big enough and general...

Yes, all very nice. However, haven't you ever like me been bother by all that cranking?

In my opinion, the MOA reticle shown here reduces all that hard labor too a mere shift of your left hand on the bag.

Re: Mueller

Don't believe anything you read about Mueller scopes. Every testimonial you read is nothing more than a commercial for these Chinese imports. Not even in the same league as a Leupold or Nikon, maybe comparable to those "other" Chinese scopes being hawked here. Now you shouldn't bad mouth ...
