    Bergara .22 opinions

    BD1965 If you are still listening, I rescind my previous comments on the Bergara (not the Ruger). My search for a replacement 22 came down to Tikka T1X, the CZ 457 or the Bergara BMR. I have a Tikka T1X in 17HMR and I really like it....with one exception....it's on the heavy side. What...

    Shot Placement w/ Bergers

    Blacktails I aim for below, behind or in front of the ear depending on angle of shot. Hogs I aim for neck just behind the head. I use Bergers in 88gr .243 and 70 gr .223. Never had to track a wounded animal and I get all their meat. However, I've never shot past 400 yds at any animal. Your...

    Inertia Puller

    Bergara .22 opinions

    FWIW. I was just looking at the BMR last night by watching some review videos. I was getting a little bit excited until I saw they use a Ruger magazine system. While I think the magazines are/were a great Ruger innovation, I think Ruger blew it when they changed the magazine ejection system...

    Where are the powder and primers?

    Okay, here's the secret..... Covid kills.... Gun owners are conspiracy believers so naturally they don't get vaccinated.... Look for estate sales to find cheap powder, bullets, ammo. ;)

    New scale

    Basketball in the reloading room? Well, if your son is still alive....I guess you will have to reward him for the chance to upgrade your equipment. To wife, "It was an accident Hon!" To son, (Wink, Wink!) I have a Lyman electronic scale my wife bought me a few years ago and find it to be...

    Leupold Reticle Recommendations

    I have used Holland's ART for several years now on a VX3 4.5-14X. I don't dial for distance and find this quick and easy. I didn't buy my scope from Holland, I sent my scope to Leupold and they installed it for me. https://www.hollandguns.com/advancedreticletechnology.html
