hey guys im new here, G'day from down under. Im a very new 204 owner (T/C venture 22 inch sporter 1-10" twist) I have found that this rifle is very accurate with Fiocchi 40 grain ammo, but there is a little problem, sometimes the brass has slightly raised primers. My only concern is the ammo...

G'day from the land of oz! Cautionary tale here gents, So a couple of years ago I purchased a sightron s2 4-16x42 scope. It was mounted on a 17HMR rifle carefully. The scope was always a tad sticky on the mag ring but nothing that made me too suspect. Well over the next couple of years the...

Nope its a new gun and havent dry fired it at all!

So my chiappa little badger just decided to start doing the click thing to me, I have put a fair few rounds through it, if i recock the hammer it goes off on the second strike. Can carbon buildup cause this?

So I got a chiappa little badger in 22 mag, Have tried 2 scopes, replaced the plastic rail with an aluminium one and lock tighted it down, everything is torqued to spec have tried 4 different kinds of ammo cleaned the barrel tried resting in different ways on bag best groups im shooting at 50...

Anyone had any experience with this line of optics, they look super nice for the price ($350)AUD

Was very mild mannered to it, maybe it was a loose mount or some such business?

So I got myself a cheap vortex crossfire 2-7 for a little badger single shot, seemed like an appropriate choice for a cheap rifle. But I cant get this rifle to group, how often are cheap scopes fluffed right out of the box?

Im definitely finding it hard to be precise with a 3-9x scope and a big kicker haha. I know excuses excuses.

What sort of accuracy can one expect from a light weight magnum rifle?

I kinda like a heavy hunting trigger

Yup my best group for the day was 1.5 inches at 100, I feel as though I could do a lot better with LOTS of practice.

coz im new to magnums, im gunna go with a 165grain sst with 68grains of H4350, which is AR2209 over here. Im not hunting anything too large so should be more than enough zip for now, also will let me adjust a bit to bigger kick.

Thanks for all the info, ill have to start loading some different combos up and see howa i go :D

Thanks for the advice guys, im new to magnums, i know theres a lot of me in why im not grouping 100% i was just thinking sporter barrels wouldnt yield good accuracy.
