CZ 457, Bergara B14R, or....?
It all depends on what YOU want to do. You will NOT loose any MV with the short barrel For SOME, short barrels feel "whippy" or off-balance If you do a lot of offhand shooting, this may be a "con" On the "pro" side, short barrels, for the same OD are stiffer, and stiffer is better ALWAYS in...- Hector J Medina G

Spinners can be as challenging as you want, LOL! For "standard" practice (and that means unknown ranges, unsupported positions), I use: https://shootingtargets7.com/products/centerfire-mini-kyl-target?currency=USD&variant=41190265323700 Without a bench, or any other artificial supports (body...- Hector J Medina G

There are all sorts of designs and prices, from the extremely inexpensive SportsMatch / Vector Optics, through the WestHunter's, through the Eratac, and the Ivey would be the top. From $60 to $1,500 Some of them are good, even the inexpensive ones...- Hector J Medina G

I'm going to stray from the norm, and halfway be a heretic here. Perhaps it is something that comes with age and experience, but I THINK/BELIEVE that putting too much emphasis on the equipment is detrimental to good marksmanship. I'm the kind of guy that shoots "Production" or "Limited" in all...- Hector J Medina G

HTH, keep well and shoot straight...- Hector J Medina G

New to red dot shooting
Trying to solve TWO problems at the same time is hard. Remove the dot. Sight in with the irons Then remove the irons, install the dot Sight in with the dot. Given that you are not changing the barrel arrangement, it SHOULD shoot close and then minor adjustments can take place. I THINK that the...- Hector J Medina G

Gewehr 98 Question
I am really no expert in the Gew98, and the post WW 1 period is a peculiar period because of the quick German government changes. I found these two links that will throw some light: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gewehr_98 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vz._24 As you can read there, the...- Hector J Medina G
