I wouldn't buy anything made in China, even if I had to buy something of lesser quality made somewhere else in the world.

I see 39-A stuff for sale all the time on Ebay~!

I had some sear work done years back and it helped the trigger a lot. I just found A Rifle Basix trigger for a really good price and I'm expecting that will really be a big help. I also have a magazine article from way back with lots of photos showing how to modify the stock trigger to make it...

Just acquired a Rifle Basics trigger for my M-77/22. When added to my post #124 I'll still be WAY under what an Anschutz would cost.

Haven't had to deal with many die issues, but I had a problem with a Forster 'Bushing Bump Neck die'. When I called them I was ready for a fight (over the typical recent year's responses). Instead I talked to the most courteous rep I could have wished for, and the part was received quickly...

Sad but so, so true. I had a favorite spot that I used for years until I was transferred to another state. After 4 years I came back, When I went to my favorite shooting, spot it looked like the city dump. Propane tanks, soda. beer, and soup cans, a mattress, black garbage bags, you name it...

I really like everything I've real about the 6 ARC. But I've yet to see a rifle or ammo for sale at any the the 4 different shows I attend on a regular basis. It doesn't look like that caliber is going to "catch fire" any time in the near future, and it seems that the lack of availability will...

Agreed BUT, I have yet to see a 6mm-ARC rifle or any ammo being sold at any of the 4 gun shows I go to regularly. I looked for a while and decided that ammo availability was going to be a problem.

I love all these stories. I'm 83 years old, shoot left handed, own mostly .22s, single shot 1885s in .38-55 and .45-70 and no ARs. I'm looking forward to a hunt with my retired Marine son in heavily wooded southern Arkansas and am thinking about buying an appropriate rifle and caliber...

Too bad you live so far away. I you were to shoot my .223 M77 with the Timney trigger you would surely change your mind. I've found a really competent smith and I'm going to take my 77/22, some schematics and articles to him to work in its trigger. I"m looking for a clean, crisp, no creep, 1...

If you search around you'll find several articles on cleaning up that trigger and reducing the weight of pull. I also have an M-77 in .223 in which I had a Timney installed. The smith also reduced the lowest adjustable pull on the Timney to about 1.5 lbs and that has made it an extremely...

Agreed~! The 77/22 is just a great .22RF in stock form. Some of the criticism here are valid, one being the trigger. But that's not a real expensive fix. I've seen and saved several diy articles on cleaning up the trigger, and I have an older article with photos on how to make a fully...

Hearing loss is really a terrible thing. I've been shooting tor 54 years and always had really good hearing. Four years ago I was treated for throat cancer and the radiation took a heavy toll on that ability to hear well. You won't ever know what a blessing it is to hear well. I haven't been...

Only shot 3 rounds after sighting in my Winchester 1885 low-wall by Miroku. Norma TAC-22 at 25 yards.

I really dislike cleaning the small bore of a .22 caliber rifle whether it be a Creedmore, a 22-250, .22 Hornet, or any other flavor. What do you suggest in .25 caliber for shooting Yokes or hogs~?
