Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Like Dwight says, the weed eater line seems to work good for us. If I am RO'ing and a rimfire guy is shooting....I am fine with him showing me an empty chamber, inserting some type of OBI, and bagging it. Keith
  2. Our club uses Pocket Pro II's. The guys I usually squad with use a personal one adjusted to the max sensitivity. The rimfire handguns are never a problem. The rifles....you definitly have to pay more attention to the timer position. About the same height (or a tad lower) as the ejection port and out of the shooer's way seems to work. I put a comp on my Nordic Precision AR upper (.22 rimfire) to make the report a little louder. I run a TacSol 2211 comp on that gun. We actually did a test comparing with and without the comp. We can stand 3 foot further away using the comp than we can without it. Not that we DO stand farther away it just seems the timer is more forgiving when the comp is used. We tried this test with CC Mini-Mags and Blazers. We were very deliberate teasting this and I'm convinced it does help. This years State Steel Match I shot a 10/22 factory barrel in Iron division and a tricked out 10/22 in Open division. Both have no comp's and never had to reshoot a string because the timer didn't pick up. Keith
  3. All of the local clubs we shoot at allow it. Keith
  4. My son and I run 8moa c-mores on all of our SC guns. I thought the 4moa dot on my FastFires and Aimpoints were a little small. It would be nice if you could see a couple different sizes compared before you buy. Keith
  5. Thanks guys. I had hoped there was ....but knew better. We did shoot the Ruger Rimfire Challenge last year in Alabama. My son took Top Junior shooting OPEN guns. I will check out the Sportsman Team Challenge. I appreciate your replies. Keith
  6. Hey guys, Are .22 rifles (both IRON and OPEN divisions) shot at anything other than a local or State level? I usually shoot these in local and State matches here in Georgia. I have also shot a few in Alabama but would like to try some other states as well. I checked out the official SC website. I even emailed them twice but they didn't respond either time. Thanks, Keith
  7. Wow, you guys are TOUGH! dshooter3,I have noticed that too with .22 ammo. I shoot Blazer in my Nordic Component rifles and 10/22's. I have shot 29,000rds through just my Nordic match gun. They have the same POI as mini-mags and cost less. BUT....they are pretty nasty. They lead up my Buckmarks (factory and TacSol barrels) and Glock Advantage Arms conversion so badly that after about 190-200 rounds accuracy goes south. We can get through a match OK and they get cleaned after every range session anyway. All, Thanks for the responses! Keith
  8. Yup, it's all relative. The flip side is I have shot in 104 degrees and about 80% humidity. That's an extreme but, I'll take the heat over the cold any day. I think about 75 and overcast is about a perfect shooting day for me. thanks, Keith
  9. Here in Georgia, the coldest I have shot in was only down to about 50 degrees. I'd assume you guys up north really deal with some crazy low temps. I dress in layers and it's not that big of a deal. Sometimes I will even wear thin gloves until it's time to RO, shoot, or paint. Stories??? thanks, Keith
  10. I got a bad box of the bulk Blazer (say that five times, fast). I don't know if the lead was too soft or the coating was bad but they would heavily foul the barrel after 50 or so rounds. This happened on two different pistols. I think what you experienced is more the norm than a bad box. My son and I shoot Blazers for steel. It has got to be the nastiest .22 ammo I have shot over 40yrs of shooting. BUT...it always goes bang. I have over 24,000 rds through my Nordic Component rifle. It doesn't seem to lead up too badly but the chamber area and receiver get filthy. When I shoot it in one of the BuckMarks or Glock .22 conversion it leads the barrel to the point of being ridiculous. I can start with a clean HG and shoot about 200rds (which gets me through a match) but accuracy goes south pretty quickly after that. When I use a chore boy and kroil it pushes out slivers of lead. I have found that Mini-Mags also always go bang and accuracy is very good. Keith
  11. I pretty much do exactly like Toolguy does. That crud is some stubborn stuff but this method seems to work OK without messing up the finish. Keith
  12. Does anyone use a protective cover for their c-more? Seems like someone would make a cover but my search-fu is coming up short. Anyone??? thanks, Keith
  13. At today's Steel Match, I made the mistake of looking at one with an 8moa dot. It got shifted in to the"gotta get one" category. Being on a tight budget I need to get the best deal. Where is the cheapest place to order one? thanks guys, Keith
