Cartridge very stiff to eject

So Im having issues with ejecting cartridges after shooting my .22 rifle. I had to use unusually much pull on the bolt to get it out. I usually clean the bore after about 250-300 shots with Boretech rimfire solution. So Im guessing this is so called carbon ring buildup that makes the spent cartridge...

Timing

Interested to hear your strategy to train timing your shots in prone. I guess we can break it down to the last second before the shot goes off. Ive heard some like to hold it still over the 10.9 ;) but others like to train to fire the shot while still on the move towards the center. Whats your perso...

Life of a match barrel

Gidday

Im choosing between Bleiker and a Kk500.

What is the approx barrel life of a 22LR match barrel?

Does the Bleiker have to be shipped to Switzerland for maintenance (barrel swap) or can a local gunsmith do it?

Is the Success ratio 90-10% ??

Success depends - 90% on shooter 10% on rifle/ammo combo.

Your opinion and why...

Buttplate selection ......

Hello
Im looking for a prone buttplate 50m smallbore. I tried the oldschool armadillo buttplate Anschutz had back in the day and liked it. But they dont make them anymore. So what modern style buttplates do you like?

Re: Problem with LIGHTing on Scatt Basic

Sorry to hear - but Im on the same boat. Scatt is definetely not guaranteed to be a plug and play thing for all as I was hoping. Bad for a pricey training aid. Just like to mention I also DONT have any selection for “indoor/outdoor” lighting on my Scatt. Just the Auto/50/60 selections. Interested to...

Re: Problem with LIGHTing on Scatt Basic

Thanks for asking. No Im standing, 10m air rifle (actual distance 5meters). It would be perfect to train like that at home...if I can get it to work.

Re: Problem with LIGHTing on Scatt Basic

Yes I did. I was adviced to keep target well lit. I have tried all kinds of lights, lamps at home - also bought the same LED recommended above. So far its very unreliable, so much so I cant really use it for training. I did update firmware/software today (again). Actually a friend of mine bought one...

Re: Problem with LIGHTing on Scatt Basic

If I had to rate the Scatt purchase Id give it medium/poor rating....so far. I managed to get it working at the range but I really bought it to use at home. I just cant get it to work there. Ive spent hours trying. Maybe some of you get it to work but not me and I have read similar testimony from ma...

Problem with LIGHTing on Scatt Basic

Hi shooters

Have some of you found solutions with the sensitivity of the Scatt sensor? Mine is having hard time “finding” the target due to too much/too little light.

Any solutions (led?)

Thanks
