Try it with flags and different ammo. Factory match ammo has to match the rifle or it won’t work well Barrels and bullets have to agree with each other. 4 and ones are notoriously shooter error and you could be wishing it in but getting sloppy and not paying attention to execution.

Tried applying some heat with a soldering iron and it didn’t budge when I slammed It down on a block of wood. I will probably leave it. The only reason I want the ejector in is because it has an after market bolt stop in the side of the action and when you open the bolt back the little br case...

Jackie, I do not know if it is pressed in or epoxied. But that would be a good question. I will heat it up a bit and see if it will loosen up. If not, I do not have a mill handy. Maybe I can set it up in a drill press and start it with a small center drill. Thanks for the suggestion. John VM

This is sad news indeed. I met him 15 years ago at the Super Shoot and you could not meet a nicer guy. He was a great guy to know and shoot with. My condolences to Sue John VM

Years ago I bought a 40 x Remington that was customized with a match grade barrel in 22 br .243 neck and a mc Millan stock that was pillar bedded. When this was done they removed the ejector and plugged it with a metal plug of some kind and the retaining pin was put back in. I have removed the...

Vertical often shows ignition problems if shooting off known good rests and and known good components. Look for burrs on firing pin or roughness in the bore of the bolt or an oversized firing pin spring. This can all give inconsistent ignition. Also check your trigger and bolt to make sure there...

Why not do both, cut it down to 24" and turn the barrel down a .100. If it is turned down full length it should not change the dimensions internally that much. I had a barrel that had .100 machined off on the last 3 inches and it shot quite well. A Shilen barrel if I recall correctly. Just do it...

Are the Harrison matches all score type now or are some group? John

Looks like Joel is on a real hot streak this year. Congratulations Joel!!! Would also like to congratulate Bill Mitchell on his second place finish!!!!

Well I took up Rick on his offer and called him and you know what, he is not such a bad guy. He is quite passionate about this sport and has some great ideas. This does not mean other ciubs have failed because of bad ideas. I would recommend if anybody is looking for more ideas than you may want...

Rick, you should relax a little. Now focus and read the question and the reply. I am just giving an opinion of what I felt was wrong with the game and how it could be changed. While I remember some good times I am not advocating going back to the old ways. I do not plan to come back seriously...

Very few people know why we have 2 main bodies of benchrest, NBRSA and IBS, yet it still remains divided. There are not that many shooters that there had or has to be 2 governing bodies. But we are still split and it probably will not change. We hang on to the past even if it is to our...

Times have changed, priorities are different for many. The game has advanced till the rules are almost killing the sport. The classes are almost redundant with the lightweight equipment available. Look at pictures of the parking lot 20 years ago. Big name shooters lived in tent trailers, vans...

You need to yank that barrel off and install a quality barrel from a top name barrel maker like Shilen, Kreiger, Bartlein etc. There are many that are reasonably priced that are prechambered for the Savage rifles that will shoot right out of the box. You probably spent a large part of a new...

Sure looks good and should be another welcome improvement. Thanks Bob and Nancy.

Congratulations Tony, A remarkable feat at any age but especially at 78! Jeff, also is a southern gentleman deserving of a win, but you never have to hang your head if it was Tony who was the one that beat you. Great shooting Jeff! John VM

I have looked into another rifle. I have decided it is not the way I want to go as I have already went that route on 2 of them and these cheaper version rifles are great for plinking or for build projects, they are to hit and miss on if they are going to work right out of the box. PBike is...

Hi Francis, the barrel is 24" and I think it was a light varmint taper. I will have to check when I get back. It has about 3 -4 hundred rounds through it. Still shot well for a varmint type rig. Thanks John

Gentlemen, now that you mention it, yes it would be a problem at the shoulder. I was trying to think of the fastest easiest way to fix a problem. I guess it could be set back and rechambered. Will have to measure the barrel to see if there is enough material for a new shoulder after setting it...

Is there anyone in Mi that has the ability to chase out a 22 BR chamber to 22-250 in the next few weeks. I have a prairie dog shoot scheduled next month and my daughter needs another rifle, I do not have enough brass or the time to neck turn that many cases for the tight neck BR chamber that is...
