    sapphire liked post by longshot On thread : Help rate these scopes

    I'll chime in with my experience, for what it's worth. I've done a fair bit of long rang target shooting, and a little bit of hunting, but to me they are almost separate interests that happen to...

    sapphire liked post by Beaker On thread : .22 is misfiring - empty shells are stuck in gun and crushed - any ideas?

    Martin Henry is onto it. I've had this issue occasionally myself. All I do is get a bit of gun oil in there to lube it up and no more probs. Only does it with sub's once in a while. Might help if I...
