Hey. I’m the proud owner of a new Ruger PC9 carbine. It is fun to shoot. But, I think I need some training, if I want it to be anything more than an expensive plinker. I have experience hunting and bench shooting, but no experience with tactical shooting. I live in Ulster county. Any...

I recently upgraded my CZ 455 22LR with a CZ 22LR heavy barrel and Boyd's thumb-hole stock. I'll make a proper range report when after I do some ammo testing and have broken in the barrel a bit. I still have less that 250 rounds through it. But, the results have been very encouraging. I'm...

I feel like I’ve been neglecting my duties. First 3 of the season. I actually shot one with my Henry on opening day. But, I forgot the photo. My Ruger 10/22 is a squirreling machine.

Over the last few months, I have been focusing on my Rimfire rifles and my 308 because they perform the bulk of hunting uses. However, I realized I had been neglecting my 223. The rifle is a Savage Axis II XP 223 with Boyd’s lightweight thumbhole stock and Nikon Prostaff 5 scope. I...

I’ve been spending the last few weeks getting the new Henry dialed in. Today, I had an opportunity to show some love to and old faithful. I recently swapped the existing scope rings on my Ruger 10/22 for Vortex low-rise rings. I needed to re-zero the scope before taking it into the field. I...

Early squirrel season is here. I bought the CZ455 last winter, so it was first in the rotation. I took one squirrel about 20 minutes after sunrise. The weather was cool and the wind was calm. I saw two other squirrels, but I didn't have a good shot. CZ 455 American 22LR Bushnell 4-14x40...

I noticed that Henry Classic Lever 22LR were on sale at Dick's for $299. I've always wanted one. So, I proceeded on full impulse. I want to get it into the field as soon as possible. I'm wondering what accessories I should get. I'm thinking about a nice 4x32 Rimfire scope. Something small and...

I grabbed two boxes of 22LR ammo on the way to the range today. RWS Target LRN 40 gr. $10 Aguila Super Extra High Velocity Copper-Plated RN 40 gr. $5 I thought you guys might like discussing the difference in accuracy in high-velocity and standard velocity ammo. The rifle was a Ruger 10/22...

I haven't had time to reload, so I took three 20 round boxes of Norma Tac 233 FMJ to the range. It shoots better than any other factory ammo in my Savage Axis 2 XP. I walked out of Davis with an 800 round box. I think I need my head examined.

For about six months now, I've been loading cartridges for my Savage Axis 2 XP 223. For each iteration, I load 45 rounds and shoot 15 3 round strings. I measure each group and compute an overall average. From that I score each load with an average MOA score. I have been pleased to get score...

After months of shooting in ideal conditions at the Range. I decided to take my Savage Axis II XP 223 into the field for some test shooting. I visited our favorite shooting spot near Napanoch (you know where). I built a small wooden frame and hung a 6 inch round plate from it. I...
