    Sh00ter liked post by Hermitage On thread : Length of a rifle with welded on suppressor?
    The Lithgow model 1B that I plan on shortening currently has a 24" barrel. If I shorten the barrel to let us say 8 inches, I would expect to lose 100fps firing subsonic .22LR. I have read that the...

    Ftx325 liked post by Hermitage On thread : scope suggestions for 22 mag
    I just can't justify $1700 for a VX-3HD 4.5-14 with side focus. Go for a second-hand VX Freedom as many people do not seem to realize they are better than the Vari-x III, VX-1 & probably the VX-2....

    Well, I brought 4 packets of .22 ammo to try out: Aus Winchester subsonic 22 LR, Eley subsonic 22LR, Remington Green subsonic, and a pkt of CCI rapid-fire pistol shorts. I had to buy them at the...

    My four rifles were stolen when I was overseas. They ripped the security rack out of the wall but none of the rifles had their bolts in them. So I was left with a Howa 1500 bolt, a Tikka M55 bolt,...

    Some good advice here... thanks for that :thumbsup: Looks like I'll try one packet of Aussie Winchester 40g Subs to compare noise level. Failing that I will try Winchester 22 long Z. All shots...
