hi, my browning ambush 60 is very accurate to 60 yards and the sight pin sits right on the left edge of the arrow if you look down the arrow at full draw.

p99 is by far the most comfortable pistol for me, it comes with 3 backstraps so it could be for you too. Glocks are butt ugly, IMO. Thers also a site out there that did 200 yard+ tests with the p99 (9mm, DA) and it almost outshot a full body 1911, beat the crap out of a glock 27, not quite what youd use it for, but my p99 is on its way and i should get it soon.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst, welcome to the club! You will enjoy high power rifle shooting!\n\nMost rifle competitors are not opposed to varmint rifles, we know their limitations, and because of those liitations, most varmint rifles are not suited to high power rifle competition. To better understand this, you need to be aware of the games.\n\nNRA High Power Rifle -\nCourse of fire:\n200 yards standing - 10 or 20 shots, 1 minute per shot.\n200 yards rapid fire - standing to sitting -1 or 2 10 shot strings, 50 seconds per string\n300 yards rapid fire - standing to prone - 1 or 2 10 shot strings, 60 seconds per string\n600 yards prone - 20 shots, 1 minute per shot\nTypes of rifles: Service Rifle (M1, M14/M1A, M16/AR15) or Match Rifle (Bolt action rifles, semi-autos, or service rifles beyond criteria for service rifles [i.e.: the "Space Gun"])\nSpecial criteria for bolt guns ... the ability to rapid reload with a 5 shot stripper clip.\nSights: Micrometer adjustable metallic sights only.\n\nNRA Long Range Rifle -\nCourse of fire:\nPalma Match\n800 yards - slowfire prone - 15 shots in 15 minutes, \n900 yards - slowfire prone - 15 shots in 15 minutes, \n1000 yards - slowfire prone - 15 shots in 22 minutes. \n(Above course of fire fired with micrometer adjustable metallic sights only - with Match Rifle or Service Rifle)\n\n1000 yards - slowfire prone - 20 shots in 30 minutes\n(Above course of fire fired with Service Rifle [iron sights only] or Match Rifle [iron sights AND any sights (scopes permitted)]\n\nWhy "Varmint" rifles are typically not used! \n1. Most varmint rifles of current production do not have their receivers "cut" to accept stripper clips, necessary for rapid fire stages of matches.\n2. Varmint rifles (of the .22 genre ... .222 Rem, .222 Rem Mag, .223 Rem) have rifling twists of 1 revolution in 12", which is too slow of a twist rate to stabilize heavier bullets necessary for longer ranges (to 600 yards or beyond)\n3. Varmint rifles capable of being used for Long Range matches are really limited to the .308, which can reach out safely to 1000 yards, all other varmint cartridges can not safely be kept at supersonic velocities out to 1000 yards, which is necessary to stabilize the bullets at 1000 yards.\n\nRifles better suited to NRA High Power and Long Range competitions:\nService Rifles\na) M1 Garand - most competitors started with the Garand. It can be purchased for between $300 (no wood) to $550 from the Civilian Marksmanship Program (see CMP link, below). Depending on whether you do it yourself, or you send it out, the Garand can be made competitive for between $600 to $1500 above the cost of the rifle.\nb) M1A [civilian version of the M14] can be purchased match ready, out of the box, for about $2100 from Springfield Armory (see SA link, below)\nc) AR15 or its variants, can be purchased match ready, out of the box, for about $1000 from Bushmaster or Armalite (see link for Armalite [AR], below). NOTE: the AR can safely be used to 600 yards, if you have a barrel twist of 1 in 7" or 1 in 8". The AR with the same barrel could be pushed for 1000 yard shooting, but NOT safely!\n\nMatch Rifles:\na) The AR15 based "Space Gun" can be purchased or built for between $800 and $1500 ... requires metallic micrometer adjustable sights. Complete rifles and components can be purchased from NUMEROUS suppliers and dealers. The space gun in .223 is NOT a safe consideration for 1000 yard shooting!\nb) Varmint Rifles from Remington, Winchester, or other suppliers in .308 Winchester or larger .30 chamberings. Base rifles can be purchased for about $700. All would require, at a minimum, the following modifications and/or upgrades:\n1) High comb "marksman"-style stock\n2) Micrometer adjustable metallic sights and bases\n3) High quality target scope with long range base\n4) Target grade/quality trigger\n[All of the above modifications could run $1000 to $2000, plus cost of

I have a number of .22s and have owned many more. I normally shoot target with larger calibres, but for teaching beginners and just for plain cheap fun I always bring a couple of .22s along. \n\nWhile the Ruger 10/22 is OK straight out the box, it's not the greatest either in operation, accuracy or ease of disassembly for cleaning. The really great thing about the Ruger is the number of aftermarket parts you can find to make it a real tackdriver. A numer of modifications overcome all its shortcomings, but you will wind up spending $200 or more on a $175 carbine. \n\nIf you really have to have a 25 or 30 round magazine, the 10/22 is the way to go. Be advised that these mags are not easy to load up, so what seems like a time saver may not actually be. No .22 rifle uses "clips"....you are using that term incorrectly, it's a "magazine". The two are not the same despite Hollywood's incessant misuse of the words. \n\nContrary to a previous post, the US law that limited magazines to 10 rounds on rifles expired several years ago thankfully. That's only for handguns now. \n\nFor sheer accuracy, you'll want a bolt action. But they just aren't as fun as a semi for rapid fire, are they?\n\nMy best .22 semi rifle ever?  The Marlin Model 60, without a doubt. I've had maybe 20 different .22s, many more expensive, but the Marlin is a champ. I would recommend one to anyone looking for a good .22 that's affordable. Since the 1950s Marlin has sold millions of this model, making it one of the most owned .22 rifles in history. \n\nI've never bought one new either. Of the four M60s I currently own, all came used from either a gun show or a pawn shop with prices ranging from $50 to $125 for a perfect 1970s model with a good scope, sling and case. \n\nNOTE: The 1960s and 1970s models of the 60 held 18 rounds of .22 LR. I'll bet you $100 I can load and shoot 50 rounds in my Marlin with the tube magazine faster than you can load a shoot 50 with the Ruger!\n\nThe used market for 10/22 is hot. They are hard to find used and the prices are usually near retail, if you can find one without serious mods, in which case the prices are outrageous.\n\nCheck out   www.rimfirecentral.com. Join the forums and read all the posts for different manufacturers, etc. This site is all about .22s and the folks that love them. It's also a great place to get all kinds of advice on rifles, mods, ammo, etc. Don't be afraid to post noob questions, they're good people and won't be too hard on you!   \n\nGo to www.sportsmansguide.com and type 10/22 into the search box. These guys are usually much cheaper than Cabela's and have more gun stuff. \n\n\n\nWrite to me for any more advice...audnorge

my SKS had a fixed 10 round mag.  i bought a 30 rounder.  there was no way that the 30 would fit into the 10.  so i gave it to another guy.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nI have a Derek Martin trigger in my AR match rifle (I am not suggesting that you get one). The way he, and the Marine armorers that checked/adjusted my installation adjusted the trigger pull was to bend the "legs" of the trigger spring ever so slightly, not the hammer spring!\n\nGood luck!

Bound's hubby here:\n\nYour VSS should be a very accurate rifle. I have read a number of articles over the years about how high powered rifles could be shot with cast loads to shave the shooting costs. It was not until I started casting my own handgun bullets (especially for magnum rounds) and bullets for my BPCR loads, that I fully understood the dynamics of cast bullet shooting. \n\nWhen I shoot my 700 Varmint for 1000 yard matches, my 175 gr. Sierra MatchKing trucks along at about 2550 fps. Your cast bullet should move along no faster than about 1100 fps if the bullet is not hard cast and not wearing a gas check. If the bullet is hard cast and wearing a gas check, you might be able to push the velocity to about 1600 fps. Do not even expect the cast bullet to be on paper with the same sight settings as your jacketed loads ... just isn't going to happen! Expect your cast loads to be good for about 50 ft of accuracy (to 50 ft in distance, not 50 ft. groups!). \n\nOne thing I would do is to check your bore ... if it looks like the barrel turned to silver, and there is not noticeable rifling, you have filled the rifling with lead and need to remove it! This would be because the bullets were not hard cast, and were too soft! A very long and tedious task! If this is the case, you have saved no money with your practice rounds!\n\nFor the rare occassions when I get to practice with my Varmint/Target rifle, I load up surplus 147 grain FMJBT bullets. As you know, the bullet is the largest expense in reloads. You can get the 147s real cheap (make sure they have lead cores, not steel cores).

Try a Springfield XD in 9mm. I have one in .45 acp and love it. I have put 4000 rounds through it in a month and hasn't failed yet. I have tried every type of round I can get my hands on and have yet to have a failure to feed or a misfire. Springfield has several different combinatios, 3" subcompact, 4" inch and 5" inch barrel lenghts. Every one has a built in accesory rail. In which many other manufatures cost extra for that feature. Just a little advice. Gunbroker.com has several auctions for they many configurations for under $500.

I use a .243 myself.  It's light and there's not much recoil, but travels well and will put one down.

It's a Montgomery Wards / Western Auto Stores rifle. There's no collector interest at all - strictly a shooter with value based on its condition but somewhat less than the "parent" gun it's copied from.  If it has a solid top and ejects through an opening in the right side of the receiver it's a (more-or-less) Marlin 336 and if it ejects through the top of the receiver it's a (more-or-less) Winchester 94. Value of either in very good condition is probably no more than $200 - perhaps a bit less.  Hope this helps.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nRemington does not have an on-line serial number/date of manufacture registry. However, if you contact them at the link below they should be able to answer all the questions you have about your rifle. \n\nGood luck.

Unhappy.\nHowever there are many different and important factors to keep in mind. The 556 is a small round. Its actually a 22 caliber round.  It is very light weight. Much less then the 7.62x51 (308 winchester). However the 556 is meant to be fired at full auto. The 7.62x51 (by which i will refer to as the 308) is much heavier much more powerful and has too much recoil for full auto. The 308 is still used as a sniper round, even though several others are much better, such as 30-06, or several other (e-mail me and i will tell you why they use the 308) and the 308 is the ammo used for the M240 light machine gun. the 208 is the perfect round for the light machine gun. Say any different and my brother will mix words with you. \nWhatever the government says, the 556 was designed to penetrate soviet body armor. It mushrooms when passing through body armor and actaully has more shock value (due to increased surface area) despite going through the armor. It takes too many hits to take down an opponet and wastes too much ammo. Its really a shame, because there are civial loads of 556 (teachnically 223, because they are on the civilan market) that have much heavier bullets and have far greater stopping power.\n\nthe 6.8 is too dangerous.  Say you are a Marine Force Reacon guy, or Amry Ranger and you are shooting these great 6.8 bullets and killing every enemy. No problem, right? But wait.... You have run out of ammo. you can not resupply from friendly troops, and no one has 6.8 anywhere. You are screwed.  \n\n6.8 is battering M16's to death too. its way too powerful for the gas operating systems and the recievers.\nIf we had new guns built to stronger tolerances then 6.8 would really be great.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst, before you do anything ... is the rifle loaded?\n\nSecond, it sounds as though the bolt body may be bent or damaged from a previous round fired (perhaps an improperly handloaded round?), and the bolt started to collapse. This is not a receiver problem! A gunsmith should not have to "re-mill" the receiver. And, don't use WD-40 ... I have had bad luck with it and guns.\n\nYour wisest move is to first call Browning and talk with them ... they will suggest that you send the rifle to them for inspection and repair. Take the rifle and its packaging to your local gunsmith for shipment back to Browning ... you can no longer do this yourself! \n\nAs an aside ... I had a similar problem with a Remington 700 ... and they replaced the bolt ... plain and simple. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer!
