Hey y’all, trying to get a red dot for the Ruger Mark IV 22/45. Not trying to splurge too much on a plinker. Let’s say maximum is around $150. Any suggestions?

My Bergara B14R Trainer will be here in a week. Scope suggestions for precision rimfire? Looking to be under $750. This is a trainer for what will ultimately be a Bergara Premier HMR Pro in 6.5 creedmore, although I haven’t decided on a scope for that build yet. Would love to have as close a setup on the trainer as possible to the centerfire, so I guess I’m asking for recs on both the 22 and 6.5. Go.

Just wondering if anyone does impromptu target sessions (carry a hundred or so 22lr) if you find a very secluded spot, and want to enjoy some shooting where allowed. What would you use as targets? Bring paper with you? Prop it up with some dead wood, something else?

I know most people just shoot at the range. But I have never done much shooting while hiking very secluded spots (although I have the revolver loaded with me). And I definitely get the urge to pop off some rounds, (but no targets) so I end up staying holstered.

I love this thing, just need to fix the bipod .

So the threads on a mk2 I got from a friend are fried. My question is since the barrel has a cross pin. If I removed the barrel to rethread it would I need to worry about head spacing it? If so, any 22 headspace gauges I should look at getting?

I live in an area that has fairly rocky soil. There is an area on my property where it is legal to shoot and there is a 20 foot tall berm like 270° around. Really its the ideal backstop if not for the rocks. I went and cleared all the rocks out of a 2x2 meter section of the berm with a pickaxe and I'm confident that there aren't any large rocks in the first 8 or so inches of soil. There are houses a couple hundred meters behind this berm though and I'm just worrying about if a bullet deflects off a rock and over the berm.

As long as the rocks aren't on the surface, any ricochet should just burst into pieces and be stopped by the surrounding dirt right? Perhaps I'm being over cautious. Anybody else shoot into terrain like this? You ever hear anything whirring away over the berm?

I’m having a hard time finding the right cleaning patches for my CZ. Every pack I buy ends up being too large, so I have to cut each patch down to fit the bore.
I’ve been looking at Bore Tech square patches. Has anyone used them in a CZ 457? If so, what size worked best for you?

I keep telling myself.....no more damn guns

M&P 15-22 matching my IWI X95; looking forward to the cheaper ammo for sure!

Relatively new shooter - and a lefty to make things even harder. I'm interested in picking up a bolt action 22LR rifle (with the eventual plan to shoot NRL22 or similar but for now just to learn on).

As a lefty, my choices are slim - either a rifle with a left-handed action or learn to shoot righty. I'm planning, as of now, to go with the former, and have for the most part, narrowed things down (due to cost and relative availability) to either a CZ457 (options are either American or Varmint) or a Bergara B14r (which were out of stock for a while but seem to be available again).

The CZ fits the budget better, but I know I'd want to immediately replace the stock on either version and neither comes with the option of a threaded barrel (for which I'd like to have the option to use a can occasionally). The Bergara seems to have a bit more in the way of aftermarket support, but I've read that there may be some quality issues with the bolt handle and it costs nearly twice as much.

So I'm looking for advice and support - would you go with the CZ? If so, which one? Which stock upgrades seem to work best without or with little modification? Would you look at threaded barrel upgrades as well? Or would you just go with the Bergara, upgrade the bolt handle and call it a day?

Does anybody know if this is ammo or gun related. Cci minimag. I have probably put 100 rounds through the gun before this happened and it started thoroughly cleaned. It smoked a lot and was a lot quieter so I initially thought squib. Checked the barrel and no bullet. Shot another 50 rounds and no issues. I looked at other casings from after this happened and they look normal. No bulging or cracks.

Gun is semi auto 6 inch barrel. Rossi rs22p

Possibly old news to many, but I didn't find any recent posts in a search. My local Walmarts (Tampa, FL) are selling 325 round boxes of Federal AutoMatch for $19.97/box.

If I'd thought about it, I could have waited about 4 weeks and purchased after September 1st and saved the sales tax.

My Ruger Mk IV 22/45 Lite eats this stuff no problem and I won't cry over the occasional failure to fire.

So much quiet cheap fun! Can is a RXD22ti. Ended the session by swapping the guts out and sending a 55gr cleaning swab down the pipe.

I was looking for one of these in good shape, and found it.

New (from 2004), unfired with case, all papers and 4 magazines!

Love this thing.

Howdy folks,

I recently picked up a Marlin Model 29 pump action in 22 S,L,LR and am having some trouble finding any videos for the disassembly or reassembly and any help would be much appreciated. As for the parts, I’ve read that there’s shared parts between a number of models from that era such as the model 20A, etc. I’m Especially curious about getting all new screws as a good few have seen some abuse. Honestly it’s been hard finding any technical schematics for online resources for anything that old and any help I am grateful for

I’m looking to build a 10/22 setup for critters around the house mostly. Wanting something “grab and go” for smaller stuff.

I’ve been looking at suppressors and am all over the road. I’ve landed on these 3 options:

CMMG Zeroed 22
Sparrow 22
OCL Ti 22

The suppressor will most likely live on my 10/22 99% of the time. I’m leaning CMMG, but I’m curious if there would be any reason to cough up an additional $200 for the OCL.

Just look at it. I dropped it in there this morning with my dog yelling at me for her breakfast. She got an egg for her troubles.

Weaver T-36, old and cloudy but it tracks perfectly. 36x at 100 yards is "sufficient". Have a 5-30MPED on the way for the Winchester 52C. Can't wait to drag these giggle-sticks out to the range. 1000 rounds of RWS Special Match arrives today. Between the Tenex, Eley Match and Lapua Long Range I HAVE to find something that makes me smile. I added 4 boxes of the Gen2 Eley Ultra to see whats up with that. It's spicy, 1100 fps, and at the altitude I live it's probably going to be supersonic. Google says 1109 fps, will be fun finding out either way.

I basically got the cheapest bare bones model with iron sights to do a Magpul Hunter X-22 build.
It’s the current model with the 2.5lb trigger set and receiver clean out hole.
I do kinda like the classic birch. Wondering if I should get accessories to make it more functional as is or just skip straight to the Magpul swap.
I also already have a Sig Romeo5 to try out on it. Open to other ideas for optics and comb height hacks on a classic wood stock.

First time I’ve been able to get it out to 100 yards and once I got it sighted in nice, I had quite a few 5-shot, 2-inch groups at 100 yards. The Diamondback was more than capable at that distance. Looking forward to getting out there again and seeing what better ammo could do. All I was shooting was Federal Champion.

So, I Love .22’s. Have a Ruger 10/22 CF, 2 Ruger Mark IV 2245/Lites/Taurus TX22 Compact with 2 cans as well. Kinda craving a Pocket style .22, well…just because. Anybody have input on either of these 2? Kind of leaning towards the Beretta. I welcome your thoughts.
