I watched that too the other day. The whole thing appeared ridiculous to me. It seemed like a great show for people that know absolutely nothing about shooting, but for people in the know it will drive us crazy...

If you're speaking of the Volquartsen, I'm sure they are excellent. I have not personally used one, but everything else that they produce seems to be top notch. From my brief reading about them (they were never really in my price range so I didn't do too awful much research about them) they...

I recently modified my 10/22 with a new barrel and a few other things. If you head over to RimfireCentral.com there is TONS of information. The entire forum is basically dedicated to 10/22 mods. From my reading when I re-barreled mine the Tactical Solutions barrels are not the most accurate...

Everybody, pics are more than welcome :D

Alright, you all have helped quite a bit. After reading through all of this I have just about made up my mind on the Savage. While there is definitely a case to be made for the Tikka, I definitely tend to have a case of tinkeritis! When I purchased my first center fire rifle I decided I...

I've read that article, and while he does bring up a few good points, his extreme bias turns me off. He makes note of things like free floated barrels being solely a method to reduce costs. While possibly true, if it did not enhance accuracy it would not have caught on like wild fire with so...

Long time reader, first time poster here... I'm in the process of deciding on a new rifleto purchase. I finally decided on the .270 Win so now I'm just down to what platform I should choose. This rifle is going to be used primarily for pigs and deer, nothing outrageous. This is going to be...
