I picked up a CZ 457 Jaguar, from my LGS today. I had ordered it about 6 months ago, after some delay, it arrived. I had forgotten how long the barrel is, I’m not thrilled with the name carved into the side, I think it looks rather cheesy, but it is what it is. I’m going to the range tomorrow...

About 6-8 months ago I ordered a Bergara B-14R Carbon, a carbon wrapped threaded barreled 22LR, with a fiberglass stock, with an adjustable check riser. It was back ordered again and again, I basically given up on it, Friday the LGS, called and asked if I was still interested, I said yes, they...

Yesterday I ventured to the LGS to pick up my parts order, what came home was my order and a new Ruger PC Carbine and 500 rounds of 9 mm ammo. This is the first centerfired firearm I’ve ever bought, scads of 22LR based rifles, no pistols, and the first one I’ve fired in about 40 yrs. The...

Yesterday I went to the LGS to pick up my order, on the used rack was a very good looking Remington Mohawk 10C, 22LR rifle, it came with multiple mags. It was part of a estate clean out. the owner sold it to me dirt cheap, so it came home with me. I downloaded a manual and a few articles, so...

For quite a while, I’ve had a Henry AR-7, but I’m hardly impressed by it, it works and I find it pretty so-so. Last week I ordered a Tactual Solutions Owyhee (Oh-Wah-Hee) bolt action 22LR takedown rifle. It uses a Ruger BX-1 rotary mag, a threaded aluminum barrel with a steel liner, a modified...

Over a year ago, I bought a slightly used S&W MP 15-22 Sport, dirt cheap. I bought it partially in an attempt to entice the younger 2 grandsons into shooting and as a fun plinkster. I shot about 1-2 hundred rounds, while fun to shoot, it’s hardly a target rifle, at this point the mag spring...

It’s 40* outdoors and was roughly 24* indoors, darn chilly. I got here early, knowing it was going to be cold and would need warm up time I took an iPad to keep up with goings on. I got there about 7 am, the range was completely empty, I was alone until about 10 am. By 11:30 I was alone again...

Yesterday I bought one of the #57039, the larger of the 2 gun safes sold by Harbor Freight. After the usual Friday Chinese Buffet Day, and some great weather, I got the safe moved into the house, with some help from the other diners. I spent the afternoon, getting it in place and loaded up.

I was torn between going to the old hometown range, 60 miles away in Camden, with a heated indoor range and driving 6 miles to the unseated indoor range. With the daughter’s family battling Covid, which ruled out any visiting, I decided to shot locally. According to the car, it was 11* outdoors...

At about 9:30 pm, this evening I headed to the range. It was about 5* outside and about 28* indoors. The whole facility was empty, not a soul anywhere. Tonight’s rifle was the #4 example of the Christensen Arms Ranger 22. The ammo used was the CCI HP mini-mags The new CAR 22 was perfect, not...

After a 1/2 box of Fruit Loops for supper, I ventured to the range. It’s 28* outside and 28* inside, but no wind or snow. It was cold. I had to stop twice and warm up the finger tips. Not a soul anywhere to be seen in the indoor range, the indoor archery range was packed. Today was a Savage...

Got up early drove the 60 miles to the old home range to meet up with a couple of friends to shoot. Apparently there was some serious miscommunication, as I was the only one who showed up. So what the hell, I shot by myself. Indoor range was about 60*, weather outside was 24*, with occasional...

Woke up earlish, packed up some stuff and headed for the range (Camden) about 60 miles from me. In my old hometown (maybe future hometown). The plan was to shoot and to visit the daughter and the grandsons. About 10 miles from the village my daughter called, one of the boys has dome kind of flu...

A while back I started to use CCI AR Tactical because I got a deal on a damaged case, basically a solid nose mini-mag with a different shaped copper washed bullet. Who’s main purpose was to solve feeding issues in AR based 22LR rifles. I found it works great in all of my semi-auto and bolt...

Between leg/back cramps and nightmares, last night was total crap, I was up and about permanently at 3:30 am, at the range by 4:15 am. Due to the early hour, not a sole was anywhere to be found, I had the whole facility to myself. Today was a Christensen Arms Ranger 22 day, I brought the 3 I...

Woke up this morning and looked at the clock, it was about 10:30 am, massive over sleep. Got up ate a pack of Pop-Tarts and went to the range. Today was a Savage day, Savage BVNSXP-SR (Wal-Mart Special #3) Savage Mk II BV-SR Minimalist (#3 green) Shot CCI AR Tactical and Federal Auto-Match...

I had to look over a potential property in my old home town (Camden), maybe a possible future home for me. After looking at 2 properties, I went to the old home town range, to shoot some targets. Today was a CZ day, I shot both of my CZ 457/KRG Bravo combinations. I shoot between 400-500...

A early and quick range day, early enough to be alone, for the first 2 hours. Today was a Savage Mk II Minimalist day, I brought all 3. I shot only the Federal bulk range pack (blue box) ammo. All of them shot fine, I did have a feeding issue with one of the 10 shot mags, I have, either a weak...

Originally in September at the gun show at the NYS fairgrounds, I bought a CZ 457 At-One Varmint, a 16.5” threaded bull barrel in a Boyd laminated At-One fully adjustable stock. The Boyd stock was horrid, rough as a cob, poorly finished, I even got slivers off of it. None of the adjustable...

In the league I shoot in, my current rifle is a Ruger Precision Rimfire. It’s been my league rifle for over 3 years, in those 3 yrs, I’ve finished 2nd, 4th and 3rd in the final standings. The RPRF has been a very reliable and accurate rifle. It’s the 22LR version, with my customary open/iron...

For a while now I’m been on The Holy Quest For The Perfect Sub $900 22LR Rifle, its a burden I must bear. After many multiple Saveges, Rugers, CZ/Brnos, Christensen, Winchesters, Remingtons, Mossbergs, Tikkas, Bergara and others, with interesting results, but the quest continues. I got...

I had read about it on the net, so I went to the Wal-Mart in Central Square, NY, to buy a Savage BVNSXP-SR, a Mk II model, 22LR with a 20” threaded heavy barrel, an Accu- Trigger, in a Boyd At-One style, fully adjustable laminated stock, in Kawasaki green with a inexpensive Weaver scope, so as...

I post a thread about a new Savage rifle and it disappeared

Hi, my name is Jack, I’m retired industrial boiler service tech, who shoots 22LR, in a 50 ft open/iron sight bullseye league. I’m currently deciding on using my Tikka, CZ, Bergara or a Ruger Precision Rimfire, for my league rifle. It’s good to see fellow NYers shooting. I live in Camillus, on...
