My very first prone match was in 2002, and I shot a 502. My second match was a 483. These were with a Marlin 2000L which was a little small for me I guess. Once I switched to the Winchester 52E and practiced, practiced, practiced, I managed to shoot a 562. I guess what I'm trying to say is that a 52...

Final Finish System

Has anyone used the Final Finish System that David Tubb sells? I see that they have a .22 version, but was wondering how it works.

I tend to eject them after a couple of "shots" as like you said they get pretty battered. If they get too battered, twisting them might not be a bad idea. Here is a similar thread on a different board. I hope it helps. http://www.smallbore.us/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=4&thread_id=3...

EuroSimulator

Does anybody know how to adjust the "sights" on the advanced rifle on EuroSimulator.com? It is an interesting program, and FirearmsID.com is running a shooting contest with prizes. Anyway, when I try to adjust the rear sight, all I end up doing is shooting the sight adjustments, if that ma...

Avanti Rifles?

Does anybody know what happened to the Avanti Trofeo #XT10 or the Victoria #XV20? These look like good precision rifles.

Beretta U22 Neo

What is the general opinion of the Beretta U22 Neo? There has been a lot of talk recently about the Browning MkII & MKIII. Has anyone used the U22? Are there aftermarket parts available for it like the Browning?
