Oh, you just haven’t ventured as deep as esk. . .  ;D

Ohh esk is very deep down the rabbit hole. I lost sight of him years ago.  :geekdanc: :geekdanc: :geekdanc:

It really is pretty interesting to see many shooters evolve through their journey in rimfire. esk went from 10/22s and CCI SV to the holy grail of rimfire in a matter of a few years. When the bug bites, it's like a pitbull it doesn't let go.

At the end of the day, I could be spending my money on far worse things. I've always said "The richest man in the graveyard, is the biggest fkn loser". I'm competitive AF I don't like to lose........

You have a pretty Gucci rimfire rifle if I recall correctly.

CMO is more LV than Gucci.

Kaleo arms is great. I've ordered from them a few times, various calibers. Jennifer is always very helpful.  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

They have been staring to send pallets again recently. Ammo is slowly coming back across the 48s. Things should be back to sort of normal in a bit. Reality prices will never be the same IME

Bushido has his own targets that take a great deal of accuracy.

I found these Pelican 1040 micro cases work really well to hold either 5 or 6 boxes of 22LR.

Hard plastic and sturdy - no way ammo gonna get squashed.  The botom of the case has

soft rubber and the sides are scalloped for a good fit and acts like a bumper pad.

Many have KYL (Know Your Limits) targets. I call mine HYF (Hurt Your Feelings) targets. 1/8" swingers. Let's see who can walk the walk. This ain't shooting groups and we not shooting from no bench that's for sure.  :geekdanc: :geekdanc: :geekdanc: But for real if anyone like try, LMK. Always looking for more to venture down the dark rabbit hole

Yes. 50-100 at various distances in between. If you got access to private land LMK. I have targets, rifles, ammo and a bad attitude.  ;D We shoot as small as toothpicks and playing cards sideways at 50y.

I've been using 1050s for decades while Ulua Fishing to keep phone, cash, keys dry. I clip a floater to it in case a swell takes it in the water although it by itself will float. I have 1020, 1030, 1050, 1060 that i use for various ocean activities like SUP surfing, fishing, etc... I use to carry 22lr magazines in the 1020s but now i use nylon zippered pouches instead, easier to store in rifle bag. Same with 22lr ammo I stop using Pelicans, I bought an off brand dry box because it's a lot bigger than a 1060 and it has all my wind calls and wind holds stuck on the inner lid.

Who makes these rifle rests? Picture grabbed from Anschutz limited edition rifle thread.



The Caldwell rests seem to have their own set of deficiencies, the biggest being the weight. Need a new rabbit hole in the pursuit of accuracy.

The front rest is a John Loh JJ-Industries rest.  Real smooth, precision threads, and well-made.  Unfortunately, John Loh passed away in 10/2019.
I was looking for extra parts/accessories, but none available. Sometimes a used rest is on sale on benchrest.com  or  rimfirecentral.com
Google "john loh jj-industries" to read more.

The rear mechanical rest is from Chacon at ABRA.  I don't see it for sale on his site, but Killough's Sporting has a Holeshot version for $275 !
I got mine from Chacon for $150.....

If you like the elevation & windage screw-type of front rest, I would look at the Randolph Machine (Fulghum) rest.   http://www.randolphmachine.com/front.html

A rest costing a little less but very good is the Sinclair Competition Rest sold by Brownells.


Joystick rests are different, but I like the (1) SEB Neo  or (2) Lenzi.

http://www.sebrests.com/products/neo          SEB is a BR standard
https://www.pmatool.com/lenzi-front-rest/      Looks like the Italians took the SEB and made it look better


"The Caldwell rests seem to have their own set of deficiencies, the biggest being the weight. Need a new rabbit hole in the pursuit of accuracy."
           
                 Beware, all these rests weigh much more than a Caldwell.  JJLoh is heavy.  SEB looks heavier.

You will also need a box to carry the rest.  How are you carrying the Caldwell now?

The JJLoh rest and the carrying case weigh a lot.  Needs a HD handcart to go up the Kokohead slope.

Looking for your experiences and recommendations on .22 lr bolt action rifle.  I've long wanted a .22 lr bolt action, or even a 10/22, but never got around to it.  When my centerfire bolt action comes in, I might as well maximize my time at HPD, so .22 lr bolt actions seems next on the list. 

I've shot Savage BA .22 lr a lot over the years.  Seems like a very solid rifle, readily available (in normal times), and very fun to shoot.  I've shot some others over the years, but none that stood out. CZ, Ruger, etc. 

Was going more research lately and read that some have issues with the Savage trigger, or something not to their liking.  I thought the Savage .22 lr BA rifle triggers were ok, or at least didn't notice anything bad about them.

Anyone who has been in the market for .22 lr BA, how available are they locally as of late?  I should run down to LGSs and check them out.  I'd want to try to buy one through a LGS as first choice, but I'm ok with ordering online.
I have shot quite a few BA .22’s and my favs are Anshcutz and in the lower price category I would say the CZ’s are about the best for the buck. The Savages and Rugers are all nice as well. The Ruger Precision Rimfire is nice but a little unrefined. But of course the price is good. I don’t have much experience with the Savage.

Are you looking for more of a plinker or are you wanting to do serious target work? If target, if you can find a nice Anshcutz I suggest you try it out if you can. You may never want to go back to anything else. If just for plinking any of the .22’s on the market would be okay. If you want something older a Model 52 cannot be beat for smoothness and accuracy.
