Tim: Thank you for your input. My current full finger glove is a 3 month old Gehmann that I purchased new. I really don't like the tightish fit around my wrist as its a PIA to put on and take off. I have to agree with your point about the HS 'issue" of the directly under the bore. Mine does hav...

Fellows. My current handstop on my H&R M12 is "killing" me. Its a cylindrical unit, approximately 1 1/2" in dia and about 2" long(tall). I shoot strictly prone with the gun and after 20 minutes or so the web of my hand (thumb to pointy finger) hurts like heck. I've got a &quo...

The DFW area is HUGH. Where in the area do you plan to relocate to? As for SmallBore shooting.... for that matter any of the Known Distance type shooting there is very, very little in the way of competitive shooting. The Terrell Rifle and Pistol Club is the ONLY club in the ENTIRE DFW area that hold...

Thanks Fellows.

"Tempted" to set up my H&R m12 with a scope. I'll be shooting it in NRA Prone. Any recommendations about scope power? And reticles? I perfer the German #4.

No sir. The forward screw is 1/4" diameter and the rear is smaller.... perhaps 10/32". I'm not sure what the torque should be on those screws. I chose 30" pounds out of the air.

Fellows. Wind died down here in the DFW area this AM and I finally got to the range to try some different ammo out. I shot at 100 yards, prone off sandbags. My go to ammo when I shot SB 15 years or so ago was Federal 711b. I've got 3 bricks of the same lot. This ammo I shot first up and after shooti...

Fellows: A update. Nothing "exciting". I pulled the barreled action from the stock. When doing so I found that the receiver screws were a bit loose. Um...... I removed the oily film I found on the bedding and the area that the receiver contacts the bedding and reassembled the rifle. I torq...

Fellows. Its my understanding that some of the 40x smallbore stocks featured 2 adjusting screws that were/are located near the foretip of the stock that were set against the barrel and used to mitigate barrel vibrations. Long run on sentence I know. I'm I correct about these "damping screws&quo...

Tim S. Thanks. Im thinking about getting to the range this Friday if the weather is... nice. I'll look at my position again. Perhaps your on to something. I've got 2 more m12 rifles that are bone stock original. I might try them out and see if this sight "issue" carries thru to them. Seems...

Thanks again Fellows. As Tim S mentions about recoil being a quick flip up then down....its not that. Nor is it muscular tension as this "wiggle"... vibration ONLY occurs when the gun is fired. Its as if the front aperture is loose.... I just check and found it and the aperture tight. Perh...

Thanks Fellows. Perhaps "bounce" isnt the correct term. I shoot NRA HighPower so I'm familiar with the recoil we face with the "big" guns. This front sight movement is more of a "wiggle". The bull will stay inside of the front aperture its just that the front ap sort of...

Did some smallbore shooting the other day with my H&R M12 at both 50 and 100 yards. I noticed that when I fired the round the front sight aperture "bounces" around the black bull. The front sight and its apertures are secure. The "bounce" isnt much.....perhaps more of a light...

Fellows: New to the site. I would like some suggestions for shooting glasses. I shoot NRA XTC, Mid-Range and Long Range matches. Thus I am shooting from the standing, sitting and prone positions. As a 62yo I am in need of shooting glasses and would like some input on what others would recommend for ...
