"Enter Me In The Quigley-Ford Scope Contest"

I got my first 22 CZ in 1980 and the only problems I got that the bolt needed striping for a clean every 100 rounds or so. Wore it out over the years and now have CZ .17hmr which is better as long as there is NO wind. Do the trigger job.

"Enter Me In US Optics Rifle Scope Contest" Just what I need

Great photos Len; any chance of a link to some hi res copies please. BTW that link a couple of replies above did not work for me, just an ad.

I stand corrected. Regarding shot placement. Friday morning I took three roe deer with my 22-250 tikka. The shots were about 180m and 3 seconds apart. Ammo was psp Magtec 50gn. First two dropped on the spot with no movement. The third went 8m (from blood blast to body). Nos 1 & 2 were as...

It would be nice if these velocity reticules were available in the first focal plane scopes; that would be REALLY GOOD and just what I' looking for!

t sounds like it's been close to 2 years since you physically were there and saw his business. I'm hoping this isn't the case but, maybe he's out of business and doesn't want to come clean...are you sure that what you saw was your rifle being built That is correct. It was then that I went...

I did not want to put a name up that will then stay there "forever", unless things get real bad. We were on holiday in Salt Lake and it was about a 3-4 hour drive north and west into the next state. If anybody knows him that should be enough. When I ordered it he said about a year, well now its...

I am from outside the USA and ordered a custom rifle to be made and exported to me (no problem with getting that done, it just costs). I visited the gunsmith when on holiday in Feb’08, was happy with what I saw and paid about 1/3rd the cost as deposit, being told it would be “ about a year”...
