Browning T Bolt- excellent rifle and fun to shoot. I really enjoy this one. It’s got a Jard trigger 16oz, if I recall correctly.

Keystone 722- I was actually surprised with this rifle. It looks really nice in person, shoots quite well, and I love that it’s made in Pennsylvania. It’s a sleeper for sure. For a stock trigger, it’s pretty good. This rifle is absolutely underrated. It’s definitely an accurate rifle. Granted, there’s no real aftermarket for it, at least none that I’ve seen.

The last one is a CZ 457- excellent rifle as well. It’s got a Timney 12oz trigger in it, wrapped in an Oryx aluminum chassis. Obviously, the CZ reputation holds true with this one.

All three are extremely competitive at 50 and 100 yards. One doesn’t really outshine the other in these three rifles, on paper at those distances. I’m limited to 100 yards on my property. Could they shoot further? Absolutely.

If I had to choose only one, I’d probably choose the Browning. I really enjoy the action. The wood looks nice in person. The Jard trigger only made the rifle even better. I do run suppressed with it as well.

I like the Keystone wood the best (CZ came with the wood stock as well). The CZ is just an all around excellent rifle with good aftermarket support and the reputation matches the rifle.

Anywho, I felt like sharing.

Got a great deal from my friend for this Vorquartsen straight pull bolt action .22 w/CF barrel

Bought this used on a whim, recently started upgrading it. Might fuck around and put a match barrel on it to take it from 1 MOA down to about .5

Tippmann M4-22 Pro

Leupold 3-9

Triggertech adjustable trigger

Monadnock Firearms Pack .22 (Mask clone)

Magpul bipod

Does anyone else live in Northern Cincinnati or Southern Dayton area that shoots at Spring Valley Shooting Range?

This is my favorite range that’s not members only. In case you don’t know it is a Ohio State Park Outdoor Shooting Range. Year fee is $24 year.

SHOOTING RANGE
Rifle/Pistol, Shotgun, & Archery Supervised Trap & Skeet Range; Unsupervised Hand Trap Range

I try and go weekly based on my schedule. You will not really find me at the 25 / 50 Yard range with my Benchrest set up.

My primary choice is my Howa M1100 22lr. I’m not shooting competition or anything else just like to shoot and achieve the tightest groups I can with what I have.

Only thing they are missing is a 200 and 300 yard range.

If your in the area and have same interests and want meet some time drop a comment below. Or if you happen to live in the area and have your own farm range I would really like to test my skills at a longer distance.

I've been putting a lot of rounds through my Beretta 71 to the point where the rifling is starting to dull, so I'm looking for something else that can be the workhorse. I'm looking for threaded PISTOL options (since it will only by shot suppressed), however I hear from folks that some choices like the 502, 22x, TX22 etc are popular but not the most accurate. I don't care about FRT abilities, accuracy above everything, mag capacity isn't really an issue but I won't be opposed to more. Are my only options going to be from the MK IV or 22/45 family/ecosystem?

Put back together after getting the barrel chopped down to c-length. Ready for the next Steel Challenge match.

A question was raised about the length of one of these three rifles. They’re side by side for comparison.

I tossed in a Ruger 10/22 for reference because it’s a common enough rifle that people can relate for size and length.

Top to bottom:

Browning T Bolt
CZ 457
Keystone 722 Varmint
Ruger 10/22

The three top rifles all shoot a similar enough pattern at 50-100 yards that you can’t differentiate which rifle shot which paper, and it’s dependent on the ammunition for each rifle. With the right ammunition they’re all very equal. I only have a 100yd lane at my property to shoot on, so beyond that distance, they may start to show differences in precision.

The Ruger shoots like any other 10/22. Nothing that spectacular about it.

I've seen online a tool with a notch, to compress the slide and remove the guide rod without forcing or bending. It was from a rimfire central user or something like that...
It seems discontinued and abandoned now, anyone has the measurements to avoid reproducing it by trial and error?

For precision shooting out to 200 yards is there one you’d prefer over the other? Is it worth it to get one of these over a CZ 457 because of the 10/22 magazine compatibility with both the Ruger rifles?

My club recently started hosting a bowling pin shoot for 22lr. My first thought was my High Standard Supermatic Citation. What are you reaching for from your safe?
