Cisco1, I should have ended that with a smirking emoji. I was being sarcastic.

I don’t post much on RFC. Do enjoy reading info on some topics. Mods do have a big ego problem. Hasbeen

Some good info on RFC, but also a lot of twits. Seems to have gotten worse the last couple of years. Not just the 10/22 newbs either. Pretty much gave up on it.

K22 nailed it. I've had the exact experience he describes. I asked a question about a new-to-me rifle, and received some incorrect information. Incorrect as in: "the rifle is right in front of me, I can look at it, and it isn't that way." So I corrected the fellow. Not in a confrontational way, but didn't sugar coat it either. Seems the fellow I corrected was a moderator favorite. The mod deleted one of my posts and actually edited the other, presumably to make his buddy look better.
The funny thing is, I had my question answered via PM by three or four members. This indicates to me that people are reading but not posting just to avoid the drama. No matter, I've learned my lesson and I'm done with them

K22,
I took your post as sarcasim, even without the 'moji.
No offense . We are on the same wave length .
I have stated my position on RFC.
Pussies dressing as shooters. I am done with this.......... RFC deserves no more attention.

The one thing that bothers me about Rfc is like when I thought it important for shooters to know about a city official proclaiming themselves in complete control of the city (including fireams), and it got deleted.
One thing about "rules" on some forums stifles our freedom of speech.

Been a member of RFC for a long time. Good place to find info on rimfires. Some jerks (just like here) but they are easy to spot and ignore.

You are right Paul and thank you for posting it.

1. Never tell everything that you know.

Over the years I have watched NEW members become Xperts in about 6 months on the site on any subject that is asked. I enjoy and still visit it daily BUTT don't take it too serious

RFC is alright, if you're not an azz. I've never had an issue there, and can learn quite a bit just by reading. Most of the time, I'm on the CZ forum there, it's probably the busiest sub-forum they have, and I have yet to see any of the fussin' and feudin' bitched about here. I've just not seen it.

I have bought & sold there, with minimal problems. Good place to keep up with the price of rimfire rifles !!!

RFC was bought out by anti-gun website controllers who are in it for the money - plus i'm sure they'll gladly turn any and all gun info. in to the govment if asked .
Myself i can take it or leave it - indeed some good people but way too most moderation .
That's the story of many websites - greybeard - same exact things - sold out to money grubbers .

Graybeard......almost forgot about him...LOL.
The 50 at 200 yds posts, is interesting, same for 22 WMR he did........but what relevance is it to me shooting 99% at 100 yds and under, IDK.
Sure see a lot of FPS Spread in the WMR.........but they seem to do the job needed in the field at common distances.

If you shoot enough 3 shot groups with most "junk" ammo, eventually you'll get one tight group. But by extending the target to 200 yards, and shooting 50 round groups.. you'll find out pretty quickly if that ammo has any inconsistencies. Whether or not that's relevant to you at 50 or 100 yards is up to you
