A scope for a deer rifle

Posted on September 26, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Don’s Winchester 70 in .270 gets just under 1MOA with his handloads. It seemed appropriate to top it with a better scope than the scary optical contraption it had originally. Now Bambi, Bambi’s mom and all other relatives are in … Continue reading →

Shooting well at age 11.

Posted on September 24, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Went to the range with friends today. Tried their guns and let them try mine. Fond out, for example, that .223 soft points don’t feed well from GI magazines but work just fine from PMags. (Firing on clays set up … Continue reading →

Canned goods and ammunition.

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Many people who grew up during the Great Depression hoard food. Those who grew up during the 1994-2004 ban on modern firearm features hoard magazines. They also treat magazines as durable rather than disposable parts. With that in mind, Black … Continue reading →

Steady does it.

Posted on September 22, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Ten year old Ayn is too small to fire this rifle off-hand, but she can handle it supported. On her visit from California, she mostly shot suppressed .22s, but she just had to pose with an AK…after all, it matched … Continue reading →

Range report…tomorrow

Posted on September 22, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Went to On Target (turn off speakers before clicking — loud sound effects on that site) range today. Shot indoors for the first time in a year and it was a nice experience. Friendly and helpful staff, good ventilation and … Continue reading →

I need more spare time

Posted on September 14, 2011 by Oleg Volk

I’ve had this rifle for almost three months now. I have yet to shoot it myself… Anderson Mfg. sniper rifle (20″ barrel, .223Rem) with 3.5-15x Nightforce scope and YHM BUIS.

Adults shooting kids’ rifles

Posted on September 14, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Last weekend, I finally zeroed one of the Crickett rifles I have, the left-handed version. I zeroed it at 25m and then tried firing for effect. From prone position, I was able to hit 12ga shotgun shell hulls laid out … Continue reading →

Ambidextrous rifle from Rainier Arms

Posted on September 13, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Nice rifle, pity it isn’t mine. The Samson forend is quite small in circumference and very light thanks to careful skeletonizing. Magpul UBR stock, grip, sights and rail sling attachment. AXTS receiver has all controls duplicated left and right. Rainier … Continue reading →

Best tools for riot control

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Oleg Volk

A single lawful person with the will and the means to open fire would have stopped the UK pogroms in seconds. Mobs seldom loiter once repeating firearms are heard nearby…casualties among the rioters would have been instructive to their cohorts … Continue reading →

I wonder if Brady Campaign would now joinVirginia Gun Owners Forum…

Posted on August 22, 2011 by Oleg Volk

VGOF is giving away an AR15 rifle the person who posts the 100,000th post on the forum. Since the anti-gunners are so concerned about the proliferation of small arms, would they now feel obligated to join the “enemy forum”, post … Continue reading →

Big Boy

Posted on August 22, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Henry Big Boy: ten rounds of .44 Magnum. The original in .44 Henry had only about 35% of the power of .44 Magum, the traditional 44-40 that descended from it a little less than half. Felt recoil is still negligible … Continue reading →

Rainier Arms rifle

Posted on August 21, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Built on AXTS receiver, it uses a medium weight barrel and the light, thin, skeletonized Samson forend. The balance is awesome. Not sure what to think of the 45* safety — it’s faster than the 90* but all my training … Continue reading →

Survival rifle

Posted on August 18, 2011 by Oleg Volk

M6 as a survival rifle confuses me. .410 is hardly an effective shotgun round, while .22LR is efficient but the rifle comes with primitive sights and a rather odd trigger. Switching from rimfire to centerfire is somewhat awkward, so the … Continue reading →

Aguila SSS 60grain ammunition

Posted on August 17, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Carteach and I just tried the same ammunition, Aguila SSS. His results were not positive — poor accuracy with bullets not even stabilizing. My results were a result of considerable research and quite positive. I tried SSS in a couple … Continue reading →
