I picked up a Canik TP9 Elite SC yesterday at the Gettysburg gun show. It looked interesting and I got interested. I knew that Canik had a good reputation, but other than that I knew nothing about this pistol. I didn't realize until I got home and did a little searching that this is a new...

I just became aware of the Grand Power brand a few days ago. At my shooting range a fellow had an X-Trim and it looked pretty wild. I've done a little research on the .22 Long Rifle models and they seem to be well regarded, both the X-Trim and the less expensive K22S model. If any of you folks...

Hey folks, I've got the itch to get a new .22 pistol and am liking the new TX-22 and the M&P22 Compact. Both are light weight plastic pistols with the Taurus holding 16 rounds and the M&P22 holding 10 rounds. I believe the TX-22 is striker fired and I believe the M&P is hammer fired but not...

Some of you have seen my post about the Ruger M77 Mk II that I bought over the weekend. The barrel on that 20 year old rifle is not free-floated. Looking at the picture of the fore end it is obvious that it couldn't be. It has those two screws going through it (see picture below). So I was...

I have been thinking about getting another rifle for the fun of it. I certainly don't need another rifle. Been thinking about something in .243. I don't hunt, so anything I get would be used for punching paper. I don't shoot competitively so I don't need the most exacting of rifles. As a...

I am considering getting a bolt action .308, but I'm concerned about the amount of recoil. I don't know anyone who has one so I haven't been able to try one. I currently have a .22lr, a .17hmr and a .223. Almost forgot about the 20 gauge. I had a 12 gauge for a little while and let it go...

Can someone explain the difference between 'controlled feed' and 'push feed' bolt actions for me? I've already got a thread going about a CZ 527 American that I'm considering. Per CZ's site "the CZ 527 is a true micro length Mauser style action and features controlled round feed". It seems...

I'm looking at a slightly used 527 M1P (synthetic stock) in .223. I've been able to find some info on the 527 M1, but not really anything about an M1P. Anybody know what an M1P means? Should I not worry about it and just use the specs on the M1? The barrel is free floated, but is that...

Anyone have one of those? If so, what do you think? I have an MVP Patrol. I like the features of the MVP lineup. They have a Picatinny rail and they take AR-15 mags which is a real plus. The Long Range model that I'm asking about has an adjustable comb. The street price is around $820. Any...

I'm not new to shooting, but am fairly inexperienced with rifles. I'm looking to get a bolt action rifle in .223/5.56 for range fun, no hunting. I keep going back and forth between a T/C Venture in .223 and a Weatherby Vanguard S2 in same caliber. I see that the T/C Venture has a 1:12 twist...

I'm pretty new to bolts action rifles. I recently purchased a Mossberg MVP Patrol in 5.56. I really want to like this gun but the bolt action is proving to be challenging for me. After the rifle is fired, when lifting the bolt, that is apparently when the trigger gets reset. This is not a...

My LGS has a CMMG MK4 Multi that is being sold as used but never fired. This particular MK4 is supposed to be a discontinued model, according to the GS owner, and I don't see this model on CMMG's website. There are MK4s on the website but none that look like this one. The rifle has a heavy...

Is the Mini-14 about the only semi-auto in .223/5.56 that is not an AR-15?

The 3-9X32 UTG (Leapers, Inc) scope that came on my Mossberg MVP Patrol doesn't seem to be working at all. Turning the windage and elevation controls results in no movement of the reticle even though I can hear the clicking sound as the knobs turn. I know, I know, I should not have gotten the...

The other day I picked up my new Mossberg MVP Patrol in 5.56. I haven't gotten to try it yet, but I'm looking forward to doing that. This seems like a neat little rifle. I got the combo version with the scope attached. It came with quick release rings (nice). So it comes with the rail...

First let me say that I have very little experience with rifles and I'm not much of a gunsmith. I've been much more of a handgun guy. I do have a 10/22 and I'm getting a Savage 17 HMR. I'm also now thinking about a 223 bolt rifle and the Weatherby Vanguard is near the top of my list. I've...

I'll admit that I'm sort of obsessed with having a good trigger. I currently have a 10/22 that has been worked on some and has a Volquartsen trigger group. It breaks very cleanly at 2.5 lbs. I had this rifle built about 10 years ago when I had more disposable income than I do now. So anyway, I'm...

I finally got to the range with my new ISSC M22 Target pistol. I had wanted another .22 but also wanted something a little different. Something you don't see everyday. This surely is it. I had never heard of ISSC before and couldn't find much when trying to research. I thought I would take...

Just picked this up the other day. I had decided to get another .22 in addition to my Buckmark. I wanted something a little different. Something not everybody had. And I found it. Austrian made ISSC M22 Target model. I haven't gotten to try it out yet, but will post a report after I get to...

My recently acquired SIG 2022 has a plastic guide rod. Is there any noticeable advantage in switching to a stainless steel rod? Thanks for any input.
