When my wife needed almost 24/7 care/help from Feb - July I didn’t shoot at all. Couldn’t leave her just in case. Then after I had the opportunity to start going again I chose not to go at first. Just sat around and did nothing. I finally got off my butt and started shooting again. I’m going at least twice a week. But then I was not reloading and not keeping up with my shooting so I started to run out of 9mm. And I didn’t pay attention until I was almost out. So I am working on making some everyday.

Just taking a peek down the “rabbit hole”.  The more I research the more scary it looks.  Bought a CZ 457 but my scope was damage during shipping so it’s going back for warranty.  Area 419 arca rail seem to be lost in transit (3 weeks since they shipped).  Of course there’s no ammo.  I’ll try the CZ for a while before I decide if I’ll spend the money for a Vudoo.

Ordered the arca rail, clamp, & scope base from Area 419.  22 seem like a lot of fun and challenging with the tradewinds.  If I can be somewhat accurate a 100yds then I'll ask a friend to shoot at his place...Maybe 200yds.  Is 200yds with the tradewinds even realistic?

I have no experience but some guys from rim fire central.

Rimfire Central is an every day forum visit for me. I hang out mostly in the High Standard and Ammunition Forums. Most everyone there is much more knowledgeable than I am so I mostly lurk and learn from the experts. 

Have someone put together a HS 106 replacement spring set and send it my way. 

Www.interarmstx.com owner’s name is Alan Aronstein. Call him if you don’t find what you need. He is THE person for HS parts and service. Hey, you know, he has some gunsmiths from the last of the original HS factory. Maybe you just want to send the gun to them to be cleaned and have the driving spring (and any others) replaced and just an overall checkup service. Alan and his gunsmiths are highly recommended.

I've learned long ago to stay away from all forums. I haven't gone to RFC in years, I was once on there constantly. I use to only visit this forum for the classifieds for a long time until these recent 22 threads. FML.

I am fighting all temptation about commenting on your precision rifle chassis and stock thread.

good choice IMO. Both rifle and Area 419 stuff. They make the best pic rail to dovetail adaptor.  My one negative about the CZ is that it isn't drilled and tapped. Don't look into Lilja Barrels for it, you might just slip and fall right into the hole without even knowing it.

200 yards is realistic even in this wind! I just had my first 200 yard session with my Savage Mark2 TR and am happy to report that even with the wind I got on this cowbell pretty quickly. Figure about a foot tall? That's with Aguila SE High Velocity and CCI MiniMags. The Aguila isn't great, the MiniMags are the one HV round my rifle likes.

This belongs on a new thread: There's an opportunity to do 50-200 yard rimfire shooting at Koko Head. Who knows the guys who run the show? Carl on the Silhouette side and Mike overall, right?

My 200 yard session was alongside the Big Bore match (3rd Sundays). Are there any events on the Big Bore side on 1st and 2nd Sundays? I don't believe so, but who knows. I'd chip in for plates and hangers. Set 'em up before the range opens and refresh the paint during the occasional cease fire.

Where else can one shoot 200 yards?

Have been eyeing CZ 457 Varmint and AT One lately. Both for out of box as well as other options.

Not much stock locally on 22 rifles, so been surfing online. There are a decent amount available online.

Going to sight in my CZ tomorrow.  Just got the 457 Precession Chassis MTR.  Hopefully I can at least shoot some decent groups at 50 yds.
