    223 Wylde

    My PSA Upper with 18 inch Barrel in 223 Wylde Chamber has arrived. I'm waiting for the AR 15 lower to arrive so I can install the Vorterx 4x12x40mm scope. Then it's off to the range I go and zero it in as I will hunt with it.

    22LR Bolt Action rifles

    I have a CZ 455 American Combo rifle with 2 barrels. It has a 22LR barrel and a 17 HMR barrel. The rifle is very well made and it is very accurate. I really like the rifle and it's a fun rifle at the range and a change from the semi auto 22LR rifles.

    H&R Ultra 301 Rifle in 25-06

    The H&R Model 301 is a rare rifle as H&R didn't make that many of them. The Model 301 had a Mannlicher stock and this one is a 25-06 with a commercial FN Mauser action. It’s an excellent shooter and it is very accurate and I was lucky to find it.

    S&W Compact M&P 22 Question

    Does the M&P 22 Compact take the same magazines as the full size M&P 22? I thinking of buying one and I already have the full size M&P 22 so it would be a plus if they did use the same magazines.

    Wood Rifle stocks

    I read an article yesterday on the internet that stated that wood rifle stocks will be a thing of the past as more and more manufacturers are dropping them from their line up. I'm 72 years old and I grew up drooling over beautiful rifles stocks until I could start buying rifles. All of my rifles...
