I just registered on rimfirecentral.com. For whatever reason every time I try to log on it won;t let me. Are any of you guys registered there, and would have any ideas why I can't get logged on.

Thumbcocker: You are not missing much - bunch of arrogant turds over there (just like the jerk known as "gunswizard" is here.
You CAN live without rimfire central - believe me.

They are very sensitive over there. A guy posted a item for sale and said it was for sale on gunbroker. Told everyone he would sell to highest bidder either place. I told him once a bid was placed on GB that the bidder owned said item.
No matter high high or low the bid was. Got in the doghouse with admin over my comment. Hasbeen

Funny how different the experiences are from my experience over on RFC. I have found most of the guys on rimfirecentral to be extremely helpful and generous when I've had questions or wanted to discuss any particular gun, repair, stock making info, needed a part, etc.... '
Just like here, there are a few you are better off ignoring, but for the most part I have some very good friends on that site that have helped me develop my rimfire collecting hobby very well over the years... there are days when I wish this site would practice a bit of the regulation they use over there when things go sideways....

Yep, they are a wealth of knowledge over there. It is much tighter than here with the BS. But if you want to find out about your Martini and many others a very good place to go. S&W forums are the same, even tighter on things. Have several "points against me" But if you want to really know your S&W models etc. That is where you go.

RFC is a much more civilized forum than the 'Fire, no chit slinging azzclowns like VarmintGuy, no repetitive posting attention w hores, no guys feigning alcoholism nor being a deacon. Guys on RFC are much more grown up, don't act like a bunch of pimple face adolescents. No keyboard commandos hiding behind their computer screens hurling insults back and forth for multiple pages.

I've been a member there for a shade over 20yrs. Back when I joined there were men on there, not so much now. I hardly frequent the place. Still have a few friends over there.
Not much they will tolerate on that site any more.

Once upon a time I spent a fair bit of time at RFC. Never had any problems with the rank and file, but one of their admins is a king sized Richard. Haven't been there in a long while, won't be headed back in this life.
I am..........disturbed.

I like RFC and don't have any trouble signing in, as long as i remember my login password.
I go there a couple of timers per week and don;t think that there are any more asswholes there there are here.
Come to think of it, if you want good rimfire information and discussion, RFC seems like a much better venue than 24HCF

Varmint Guy,
Exactly right ! On all accounts.
There can be found a bit of info from the " Clique" the flinty old "Know it all Basturds" ....but don't try to contribute if you ain't one of the Nazi mods' favotites.
Especially the nazi Sophia.
Good place for those that can keep their opinions in their gullet .
I reckon it is alot like kicking through a garbage dump ....you will probably find something.
I don't know much about firearms .....but what little I do know did not come from RFC.
What the hell good is a gun forum that does NOT SUPPORT the 2ND AMENDMENT??????

I learned a hell of lot over there when I first started down the .22lr road and still check back if I need to learn about a new pistol etc... For the most part it's like other forums, heavy on the know it alls and posters that just repost info from posters with high post counts as they think it makes them sound knowledgeable.
Ride well, shoot straight, and speak the truth.

It's funny, I don't have any issues on RFC, in fact, I visit it a lot. I learn a lot there, too. I do a lot more reading than posting, but I post fairly regularly.
VG brings a lot of grief on himself wherever he goes, GGVG, 204 Ruger dot com, etc. If he just kept his yap shut and read and learned from other's experiences, it would be really helpful to him, but that's not how he works. His loss.

RFC does NOT believe in the 1st or 2 Amendments.
I don't expect to get whacked for repeating what the favs have posted.......
So, I don't have much respect for the mods or their attitudes.
I especially find it humurous that you ,ratty, follow VG around from forum to forum.....makes you kinda special.

You got it wrong there, cisco. He'd already been ejected from GGVG by the time I got there (though the stories about him were amusing), and I was already a moderator on .204rugerdotcom when he waltzed in trying to push people around. He got banned from there pretty fast. I've been around here a long time, I don't know when he came along here, but I've never followed the putz around, ever. He just seems to show up and be stupid everywhere he goes. .

I’ve been a member for 8-10 years. Don’t go there that often, but have gotten good help when I needed it.
Like all forums, there’s a few members that I just ignore.

It has been a long time since I registered with RFC, but make sure you verified your email at registration. If you did not receive a confirmation email, try to re-register, if you did confirm your email, try to use the change password or forgot your forum name link.
RFC has some good information but just like all gun forums, you have the self proclaimed experts on all topics and are compelled to let us all know.

If you prefer the keyboard commandos and buffoons here then don't visit RFC, moderator(s) at RFC do a much better job ridding the site of riff-raff. I'm not that sensitive and I'm certainly not an emotional thinker. Much of what you call riff-raff that the mods. ran off over on RFC were very knowledgeable and great persons. There a few of the old crowd left over there, but few is the key word. Most of the really great knowledgeable ones are gone now. The problem these forum have, and RFC is big one with the problem, is if someone gets their feelings hurt because a member chose to speak clearly, then the feeler bunch do to that member what they accuse the clear speaker of doing. Then Free Speech is tossed out the window in favor of Democracy.........majority wins. Anyone has the right to say whatever they want, when ever they want. Others have the right to rebuttal or simply move on. Unfortunately political correctness is the deal of the day and Freedom is kicked to the curb. As I was taught, plain talk is the easiest to understand. Many can dish it out, but few can take it. The underlining issue on RFC is the advertisers. Their money controls those forums. Don't believe it? Link to a manufacture who has a great product but is in competition with on of RFC's paying advertisers. That is just one for instance. Obviously we disagree on the new structure of RFC and that is fine by me. You are allowed your opinion as will as me. I good with that.

What is really hilarious is, if he would have posted that on RFC, not only would he possibly be banned for a period, the secret police would have deleted his entire post and no one would have known he even said it. There are those who say they are in favor of socialism until they have to live in it.

It's pretty simple really. If you don't like RFC, don't go there, and obviously, this is THE PLACE for you. When you sign up at RFC, you agree to abide by their rules (just like when you join any other private club or organization). Some here seem to have the deluded notion that if it's on the internet, YOU should be allowed to do and say whatever you want on someone else's site. Maybe you didn't spanked enough, or too much, when you were growing up?
I go to RFC a lot and find it an easy place to be. I visit here a lot less, but show up once in a while.
I have no interest in reading pages of pissing contest between a few twisted knicker individuals. I like facts, problem solving solutions, gun lore/history and good natured banter without a lot of know-it-all bluster. I find a lot more of that over at RFC than here. Everybody's different, eh?

(Satire) I love it when a person self rationalizes being condescending, snotty, mean or just an arse wipe to another person because of they feel superior.
Give a person power and watch how they behave - if they do that, you won’t learn much from them reguardless how much they know, because they really don’t care about others at all.
This is probably where KARMA emerged - when those people you step on regularly have a chance to help you, most of them just walk on by,
I know a couple three guys like that at RFC... it’s still a good forum beside them, but who ever runs the site and puts Admin’s in power that doesn’t get this least of human traits... it is what it is.

gewehrfreund,
You are one of the lawyers for RFC.
One signs up and agrees to the rules.
Alas, the rules are interpreted by the moderators.....who always , always favor thier favorites and the clique.
I have been in contact by a number of RFC members that have a lot to offer, but have been subjected to the ever changing rules as interpreted by NAZI mods such as Sophia.
RFC does not support the 1st or 2nd Amendments.
If you are not in the clique or not a lawyer for RFC.....youn can't post without getting whacked .

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.

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.

RFC is a great forum with lots of knowledge. They are pretty civil there.

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

I am still shocked by the velocity spread on some loads. I'd really like to see tests where the shooters buy a brick and sort by weight and appearance. I wonder what that would do.

No doubt you can see trends....and perhaps use to 'extrapolate' info. Yes Paul, Shocking was the word for me as well. Now sorting....who has time for that? Remember the good old days, buy a $10 brick of Fed Lightning and off you go! Lol.

Go over there and say how good your rifle shoots with Remington Golden Bullets.......
or say you shoot anything other than a 10-22 or CZ. or hunt anything other than tree squirrels..... Laughable, at best. I've found there are some of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met on collecting rifles of all makes, identification of models of different rifles, dating , slight model variations, values, ammo information, and whatever you want to talk about... I think if you go over there with an attitude they won't give you the time of day- which should probably be expected.

Varmint Guy,
Exactly right ! On all accounts.
There can be found a bit of info from the " Clique" the flinty old "Know it all Basturds" ....but don't try to contribute if you ain't one of the Nazi mods' favotites.
Especially the nazi Sophia.
Good place for those that can keep their opinions in their gullet .
I reckon it is alot like kicking through a garbage dump ....you will probably find something.
I don't know much about firearms .....but what little I do know did not come from RFC.
What the hell good is a gun forum that does NOT SUPPORT the 2ND AMENDMENT??????

I find it interesting that such opinions are shared about Rimfire Central. That forum is deeply eroded by a "clique" of Admin Favorites. Frankly, it's a forum that could have been good but has been converted to absolute trash. The way they treat newcomers is completely inexcusable. There is a handful of members who behave like complete a**holes. They are totally and completely enabled by Sophia, the Chief Administrator.

"Again, this is all fact. Think about it. Be careful WHAT you post and WHERE you post it. ALSO remember: Just because it's on a forum does not make it factual, except for this post right here."  As a previous poster said . . . .laughable. More than a few "issues" at play here . . . . . Somebody got there butt hurt at Rimfire Central. If HPC1989 thinks this place is a place he won't get his balz busted, he's gonna get an education. Let's hope so.

Well back to original topic, I’ve been an active member there for some time now. I’ve gotten answers when I needed them and I’ve learned a ton from there as well as here on the fire. I try to ignore the critically ignorant in both places.

I just realized this thread was already a year old and I couldn’t figure out why I hadn’t seen it back last spring. Then I realized while this thread was originally going on, I was laying on a slab in a coma for three weeks. Sorry I came late to the party.

My issue with RFC is a minor one. I can't log in. I was a member for a bunch of years, now when I try to log in my old password doesn't work, and requests for a password change go unanswered. Been like that for a couple years now, so I've given up trying and merely lurk.

I just registered on rimfirecentral.com. For whatever reason every time I try to log on it won;t let me. Are any of you guys registered there, and would have any ideas why I can't get logged on. Did you get it figured out?

It was my email blocking the forums emails, like they did with Gunbroker emails.

I am a Die Hard Rimfire ADDICT and can say that there are a FEW members on Rimfire Central that are very knowledgeable and a WHOLE bunch of WANNA BEES. Always seems to be a "Newbe" asking for direction and in a VERY short time they are XPERTS on all Rimfires.
Having had my own home based shooting range I can and do give Real World experiences on my 60 + years of Rimfires. As with most sites the members get on the BEST rifle kick seems like no matter what blog weather it be Winchester,Remington,Ruger etc when someone asks about accuracy about a particular model some WANNA B comments GET A CZ
From my 'REAL WORLD" experience there are several rifles both current and previously Manufactured comparatively price rifles that are every bit as accurate and as well made as the Current CZ's
Kinda Like the guy that KISSED the Cow on the BUTTTTTT 2 each his own TASTE

What I'm hearing in this little bitch session is if you go over to rimfirecentral and treat it like the toxic site this is, you probably aren't going to last long over there. They just won't tolerate it and I'm glad they don't. It is much more relaxing discussing gun stuff over there than on this site- which has become so toxic I have to take a long break from it from time to time....
However, they are somewhat limited in the subject matter they discuss at times- they have very little hunting discussion, and the scope knowledge compared to here is pretty limited IMO...
Another thing is you have to remember that they discuss subjects pretty much by forum separated into separate manufacturers or specific subjects. If you go into a Kimber forum for instance, even by mistake by opening the "New Posts" header, don't expect to get reasonable answers about a Mauser Loudenboomer, or something similarly off topic for that forum.
But then, it doesn't take much for some guys to get butthurt and come running over here to whine about it....

There are some OK posters there, lots of dipchits too.
As w any forum, reader beware.
IMHO they do tend to protect the tards.
Think one can avoid most of them just staying off the 1022 subforums. Also think it geezer and boomer polluted overall.
So visit but dont stay too long LOL

No, there is a toxicity to the forum. If you don't see it, maybe you're part of it. They will get to railing on someone and they will not stop. A handful of guys question just about everything that's said. The forum is one of many owned by an anti-gun corporate establishment. There are other forums that are the same way. There are forums that are not that way. I find it saddening, because RC could have been such a great rimfire forum, but many people that join don't remain active because of the prevailing "Look Who's Smarter" attitude.

RC's experiences and tips can be very worth-while. The toxicity comes from the constant complaining about some companies or some members. My advice would be: Listen to the tips concerning the guns and shooting. When they bash, take that with a grain of salt.

Anyone who is getting way defensive about Rimfire Central may just be one of the "Chosen Ones" who kiss Sophia's feet and get away with about anything.

Anyone who is getting way defensive about Rimfire Central may just be one of the "Chosen Ones" who kiss Sophia's feet and get away with about anything. I did point out previously the following: (Which this is all verified information. It's not difficult to access on Google) -Rimfire Central is one of MANY firearm-related forums that WAS American Owned, but was purchased by a Toronto Company called "The Vertical Scope". -"The Vertical Scope" is in a partnership with the extremely liberal and anti-gun "Toronto Sun". -"The Vertical Scope" and "The Toronto Sun" are both owned by 1 corporation called "TorStar". -Taking JUST "Rimfire Central" as an example, they generate approximately $600K annually in advertising revenue from gun-related companies. -"Rimfire Central" has 3 paid employees, one of whom is the Head Administrator Sophia. -You can check out THIS link that spells out quite a bit: https://www.canadaland.com/torstar-owned-verticalscope-runs-dozens-of-gun-forums/-Here's another link: https://www.indianagunowners.com/th...ng-dozens-of-american-gun-forums.453348/-Here is a list of gun-related forums owned by anti-gun Canadian "The Vertical Scope/Toronto Star/TorStar" 1911Forum.com 1911Talk.com 68Forums.com 700Rifle.com ACRForum.com AirSoftSniperForum.com AR15Forums.com ArmsLocker.com BersapistolForum.com BlowgunForum.com ColtForum.com DefensiveCarry.com FloridaConcealedCarry.com FNForum.net GearHog.com Glock.pro GlockForum.net GrayBeardOutdoors.com GunBlog.com GunBoards.com Gunco.net GunForums.net GunHub.com GunnerForum.com GunListings.org HandgunForum.net HandgunsandAmmunition.com HKPro.com KahrForum.com KeltecForum.com KimberTalk.com M14Forum.com MarlinOwners.com MassCops.com MP-Pistol.com NationalGunForum.com PistolSmith.com RimFireCentral.com RugerForum.net RugerPistolForums.com ShootersForum.com ShootersRealm.com ShotgunForums.com Sigarms556.com SigTalk.com SlingshotForum.com SmithandWessonForums.com SniperForums.com TaurusArmed.net TheAKForum.net TheFirearmBlog.com UtahConcealedCarry.com WaltherForums.com XCRForum.com XDTalk.com” So, manufacturers advertise on these forums, the profits go to Canada (who HATES the fact that we have guns), and the money is ultimately used to fight FOR gun-control in the United States. The gun-related companies advertising on these forums are more than likely financing their own demise. Check it out. ....and yes, Rimfire Central is toxic, biased, and lacking in knowledge in multiple areas. If someone is among "The Chosen Few", they can say literally anything about whatever company or person and it will NOT be removed. If the attacked company tries defending themselves they will get booted. It is literally a form of "Social Media Bullying". If you are an intense Rimfire Central member, you know it's going on; you may justify it, but you are aware of it. I have seen 2 "smallish" companies literally driven into oblivion due to their continuous railing and complaining. Yet Rimfire Central has a "No Vendor Bashing" rule, which is a huge laugh. I own a small business. I know how hard it can be. When I see Rimfire Central members doing things like this and the Admins allow it, that's inexcusable. It is actually VERY sad that Rimfire Central is the way it is (Chief Admin and RC Employee Sophia being the chief-cause) because there is a great deal of content that's outstanding on that forum! There are friendly environments. But when "The Chosen Few" or Sophia pop up, things will go south pretty quickly. The other above-mentioned forums generate advertising dollars. I would say TorStar makes out VERY well on this venture! I'm just thinking that a guy might want to be careful regarding WHAT you post. Due to the ownership, who knows what this information is being used for. Also, on any forum, take "bash-a-thons" with a grain of salt. Sometimes people just want to be part of a crisis. They'll pile head-first into a problem without even having one. Mole hills can get turned into mountains pretty quickly. This quite interesting. When I first joined RC it was a different site and run by a different bunch. Do you know if they also were owned by The Vertical Scope back then? Just curious . I joined back in 2002 and used to post quite bit back then, but in recent years I didn't like the way the site was being run and very seldom post now.

How in the hell am I supposed to know which ones made you so butthurt you just had to run over here and tell us? I am not defensive about it at all. I don't understand it, because I haven't seen it. Gauging from your posts here, we have different styles of communication. I can understand why you'd be more likely to end up in a confrontation that finds your feelings hurt.

HPC, tell us on this teddy bear where the big bad Sophia person touched you.... on a level of 1-10, how bad did it hurt? Would you like a binky or a blanket to help you calm down?
Your continual ranting is getting more and more childish as it goes along. It is apparent you had a run in with somebody over there and you didn't like how they responded... so let it go and move on. No need to continue whining here about RFC- most of us have had great experiences on RFC for the most part and I must be missing the forums you have had problems with because I've never seen the activity you are claiming...

They will get to railing on someone and they will not stop. Give me a link. You should be perfectly capable of finding them yourself. I will not be held liable for sharing links their links on here. Anyone who is getting way defensive about Rimfire Central may just be one of the "Chosen Ones" who kiss Sophia's feet and get away with about anything. I did point out previously the following: (Which this is all verified information. It's not difficult to access on Google) -Rimfire Central is one of MANY firearm-related forums that WAS American Owned, but was purchased by a Toronto Company called "The Vertical Scope". -"The Vertical Scope" is in a partnership with the extremely liberal and anti-gun "Toronto Sun". -"The Vertical Scope" and "The Toronto Sun" are both owned by 1 corporation called "TorStar". -Taking JUST "Rimfire Central" as an example, they generate approximately $600K annually in advertising revenue from gun-related companies. -"Rimfire Central" has 3 paid employees, one of whom is the Head Administrator Sophia. -You can check out THIS link that spells out quite a bit: https://www.canadaland.com/torstar-owned-verticalscope-runs-dozens-of-gun-forums/-Here's another link: https://www.indianagunowners.com/th...ng-dozens-of-american-gun-forums.453348/-Here is a list of gun-related forums owned by anti-gun Canadian "The Vertical Scope/Toronto Star/TorStar" 1911Forum.com 1911Talk.com 68Forums.com 700Rifle.com ACRForum.com AirSoftSniperForum.com AR15Forums.com ArmsLocker.com BersapistolForum.com BlowgunForum.com ColtForum.com DefensiveCarry.com FloridaConcealedCarry.com FNForum.net GearHog.com Glock.pro GlockForum.net GrayBeardOutdoors.com GunBlog.com GunBoards.com Gunco.net GunForums.net GunHub.com GunnerForum.com GunListings.org HandgunForum.net HandgunsandAmmunition.com HKPro.com KahrForum.com KeltecForum.com KimberTalk.com M14Forum.com MarlinOwners.com MassCops.com MP-Pistol.com NationalGunForum.com PistolSmith.com RimFireCentral.com RugerForum.net RugerPistolForums.com ShootersForum.com ShootersRealm.com ShotgunForums.com Sigarms556.com SigTalk.com SlingshotForum.com SmithandWessonForums.com SniperForums.com TaurusArmed.net TheAKForum.net TheFirearmBlog.com UtahConcealedCarry.com WaltherForums.com XCRForum.com XDTalk.com” So, manufacturers advertise on these forums, the profits go to Canada (who HATES the fact that we have guns), and the money is ultimately used to fight FOR gun-control in the United States.

When I first joined RC it was a different site and run by a different bunch. Do you know if they also were owned by The Vertical Scope back then? Just curious . I joined back in 2002 and used to post quite bit back then, but in recent years I didn't like the way the site was being run and very seldom post now.

Gauging from your posts here, we have different styles of communication. I can understand why you'd be more likely to end up in a confrontation that finds your feelings hurt. I wouldn't say we have different styles of communication. I would say that I live in the Real World, I just presented many facts that SHOULD concern you but they clearly don't which is fine. Butthurt? I would strongly recommend treating me with more respect. I have no time for "Hide behind the screen tough guys". I have presented facts. You are simply a blow-hard.

As with anything on the internet, you take what helps and you leave the rest... just remember that there are far fewer experts in the real world... it doesn't take too long or cost too much to become an online expert, but in the real world it takes investments of time, dedication and money to become an expert. As far as RFC goes, I have definitely observed bullying and snobbery perpetrated on members, particularly by the CZ fan boys (and GIRL, if you know what I mean).

Oh my god; give me a break!! It has nothing to do with gender! I have been a member of Rimfire Central for years! I saw this thread where the unfair dealings with Rimfire Central were mentioned and I threw in my 2 cents. Sophia is NOT "even handed". Personally? I haven't had problems, mostly because I quit posting on there long ago. There are roughly 10 old farts on there who jump on people about not posting pics, riding newcomers, it's one large Urination Competition and those in "Sophia's Circle" get by with it. Regarding their rules, THEY don't follow their rules.

HPC,
Is right on target !!
There is a nest of favorites / know -it- alls. If one says anything that differs from those boys ....the F U C K I N G NAZI SOPHIA wiil whack you.
I don't post any more . Have had my fill . I have gotten a lot of emails and PM's from members at RFC that I respect and feel the same way.
There is no traction in the classifieds either. Cheaper than here.

HPC, tell us on this teddy bear where the big bad Sophia person touched you.... on a level of 1-10, how bad did it hurt? Would you like a binky or a blanket to help you calm down?
Your continual ranting is getting more and more childish as it goes along. It is apparent you had a run in with somebody over there and you didn't like how they responded... so let it go and move on. No need to continue whining here about RFC- most of us have had great experiences on RFC for the most part and I must be missing the forums you have had problems with because I've never seen the activity you are claiming... 1) First of all, I did not have a "run in" with anyone. This is based on my observations and I'm clearly not alone. 2) I'm not ranting, I am simply replying to what others are posting. I stated facts. Your replies have mostly been sarcastic and highly smart-assed; and I'm childish??? 3) I am not whining. I am stating facts. 4) Regarding your "teddy bear, where were you touched, how bad was it on a scale of 1-10" comment. You went way out of line there. Speaking as someone who has a daughter that had to go through that because of some disgusting puke, if you ever address me like that again I will track you down. Count on that. My ears are literally ringing right now. With all of this bantering, I haven't been upset at all. We have simply been exchanging opinions, whatever. You have crossed the line. Big time. You are a disgusting son of a bitch that I hope isn't around any children. What you posted is exactly the kind of attitude that Rimfire Central allows, but shouldn't. Evidently, this forum is also a mess. I am out of here. -Harold C.

Harold, you go right ahead and track me down.... don't be surprised at the results buster.... if you are so thin skinned you keep harping about Sophia and don't expect a response you are blindsided by your rage and can't recognize how your repetitious bitching sounds.... And if you want to twist what I said to make it sound like it had anything to do with your daughter, then you have lost all sense of objective sense and need to cut back on the caffiene, at the very least.... sounds like you have some personal problems to work out that have nothing to do with me, or Sophia, or RFC....
Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.

You are behaving butthurt and you are here whining. If the truth is disrespectful, you will struggle to get along here too.

I am not too regular over there. I have been a member for over 10 years or so. I can't recall seeing any contentious content. Is it in certain sub-forums? Who are those boys?

If any content shouldn't be allowed it's that crap. What kind of emotional midget gets worked up over a harmless comment like his and threatens to track someone down? I hope you are a person of your word, and you are really "out of here." Yours Truly, Blowhard

WTF is a “Sophia”? I used to scan it quite regularly but now it’s once or twice a year.

I just registered on rimfirecentral.com. For whatever reason every time I try to log on it won;t let me. Are any of you guys registered there, and would have any ideas why I can't get logged on. I used to go over there quite a bit. I’ve had the same problem - can’t log on anymore and don’t know how to fix it.

Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose.
It was written to limit the power of government over the individual

Varmint Guy,
Exactly right ! On all accounts.
There can be found a bit of info from the " Clique" the flinty old "Know it all Basturds" ....but don't try to contribute if you ain't one of the Nazi mods' favotites.
Especially the nazi Sophia.
Good place for those that can keep their opinions in their gullet .
I reckon it is alot like kicking through a garbage dump ....you will probably find something.
I don't know much about firearms .....but what little I do know did not come from RFC.
What the hell good is a gun forum that does NOT SUPPORT the 2ND AMENDMENT?????? I lasted a short period prior to telling a bitch mod to stick the site up her f ucking arse.Knowledgeable but prissy.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Not nearly as many to ignore on RFC as in this kiddie romper room. Not many rude insult hurling clods either. What you mean is that you are not challenged there as you are here.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Did anyone ever go to Benchrest Central rimfire forum back a few years when it was very active? Talk about a site that could get nasty, but the thing is if you wade thru all the personal stuff, there was a lot of good info about precision rimfire shooting. When I was competing I was very active on there. Now that I've retired from active benchrest shooting and do more informal .22 shooting I tend to go to Rimfire Central more often. There are some new shooters there that are seeking info on how to shoot better. I can help them with that. Sure you have those less experienced who don't know, what it is that they don't know, but think they do, that will argue with those who have been there, done that, and taken home the big trophies. I try hard not to engage the armchair experts but sometimes you have to when they are giving out bad info to those truly seeking precision or want to win matches. However, there are some very experienced and accomplished shooters who post there that truly know what they are talking about. As in every forum, since Al Gore invented the internet, you have to separate the wheat from the chaff. That's the reader's job; to figure out those who really know from those who think they know. And even those accomplished shooters can and will disagree at times, as they have their own experiences and different paths to success.
I try not to get into personal issues anymore. That stuff just takes you down a truly toxic rabbit hole. I really don't care about who owns what, it's the information that I'm interested in. This winter I've been playing around with an old 10/22 that I have and have been upgrading it and those people over there with experience in such things have been mostly helpful. I've had to ignore some BS but that's not a problem. I've gotten pretty good at figuring out who knows what they are talking about and who doesn't. This site will give you lots of practice doing that. ps I don't post there under the same forum name as here.

That is one, just the wrong one.
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose.
It was written to limit the power of government over the individual

I have been a member there for a while and have found good info and haven’t had the problems some have reported. I found them extremely helpful while looking for a Cooper .22 last year

I began to wonder about RFC when they lost Sarona Gun works. Dennis was their expert on Ruger Mark pistols.
He supplied all their drawings and tips to repair. Also answered almost all questions regarding these pistols. I use the term expert lightly. Dennis did not treat the snow flakes lightly. He said things as they are. RFC and Dennis parted ways. RFC’s loss.
I’ve sent 3 pistols to Dennis. Very happen with him. Hasbeen

Call out one of them for posting false info and you'll get a pm from the top floor at the very least. Or you may get a 30 day time out like some of us did. In the old days it was ok to call out bad info no matter who posted it, but hey, I mainly just skim the site from time to time and move on.

I recently asked a question about sights for a MK II. Few responses. Years ago the thread would have rolled. I found the info that I needed and went on with the project.
A year or two ago I asked a question about a stock project, an adjustable butt plate. There was some good feedback but then a couple posters going back and forth on a tangent issue.
Again, I received the info that I wanted but left that experience with the realization that the site really doesn’t have a sense of good community any longer. It’s a shame when you know what the site used to be known for.

I think party what has happened at rimfirecentral is what happens to a lot of forums. Each individual manufacturer owner wants their own forum and when that happens you end up with so many subforums that the discussion gets narrowed down to the point very little can be said that hasn't already been said. When there are fewer forums they can have the same discussions because a lot of issues are common to more than one manufacturer or user IMO.... I find that I get more out of the RFC site when I go to "New Posts" and scan all the different discussions going on and pick and choose what looks interesting. Before, I would just hit a few forums for the things I was interested in and missed the rest of the site.
If I remember correctly and I'm sure someone will correct me, I think RFC started out as a 10-22 site and expanded slowly to the point it is now. I have found certain forums on RFC to be more problematic than others and especially the 10-22 specific forums tend to have more juvenile attitudes toward guests than a lot of the forums I follow like Winchester, Remington, Kimber, Optics, Stockmaking and repair, etc....

Subforums in the classifieds would benefit this forum.

Bob That is correct Bob. The site was beginning to form into other rimfires when I started following it. Heck, the banner they used back then was outstanding. RFC was a favorite site to go to for me so I hope it can recover and become that again.

You can still get informed responses to specific questions, especially about vintage stuff (mauser 22's, single- shots), and they generously share in-depth reviews (CZ and Browning rimfires. But no question the traffic there is reduced from even 5 years ago, much less 10.. There's only so much interest one can generate with 10/22's...

I have noticed some of the older posters who I was developing some rapport with and had actually bought some items from, including a couple rifles, have disappeared . Ken Seatem (?) and several others who were regular posters and very generous in sharing info have disappeared from the site. A real shame as they were really easy going fellas who shared lots of info in a manner that could be understood and taken to a match the next Sunday and actually worked.. can't address the 10-22 sites except for a very few times I have peaked into them and was pretty turned off ... never have been much of a 10-22 fan in any case...
But the complaining we here over on this site regarding RFC is, I believe, pretty self inflicted at times. I have never found the moderation over there to be overly strict and I also find it laughable that someone from this site, which has basically no moderation at all and can become a dumpster fire at the drop of a hat, would complain about anything on another site. :0 .... All sites go through change and trust me, this one has changed at least as much as most- I've been here since this site started and I've seen the changes. It's up to the membership on any site to be self policing for the most part...

Sheister,
Your reply regarding RFC complaints being self- inflicted is pretty ignorant of the facts.
You may want to re-reread the comments.
Of course you learned all about Winchester 72's over there ..........so must be great site.

HPC1989 changed his name to 38 Special. That's an interesting course of action for someone who is "out of here."

You assume an awful lot for not knowing me at all... if it was so bad, why has no one posted a link to all the mean threads that hurt your feelings? Then we could make up our own minds on the matter. I've been there quite some time and never run across the issues a few here are complaining about... Bob

I'd like to see an example.

I've noticed that the more specific forums tend to go the way of RFC. I read on a few of them. They all have their 'duty experts', and tight control of opposing points of view, experiences, or opinions.
Here at 24HCF the forum is really quite a wide variety of interests. It can be a 'mosh pit' at times, but at least free speech is respected.

RFC would be billed more accurately,as DFC(Dumb Fhuqk Central). Hint.
It is a gathering of Blue Haired Knitting Ninnys swappin' Wives Tales and gross misinformation,so for the Oblivious Humor Quotient...it tends to be rather "impressive". Very fhuqking FEW there actually shoot and the Safe Queen "Adventures",are rather fhuqking HILARIOUS! Hint.
Crying Karens NEED "rules",to "save" them from their own STUPIDITY. Pretty funny schit!
Hint..................

Sheister,
I know enough about you . F U C K I N G pain in the ass.
You jumped on my post for a rifle I had for sale with a lot of made -up bad info.
As for RFC Big Stick gets close ...but only F U C K I N G close . Hint Hint Hint.
RFC does not believe in the 1st Amendment.The only thing they shoot is , like you Sheister , their mouth.
As for you , Barnard, I quit posting there a long ,long time ago . I don't have examples for you.
I skip through their classifieds in about a minute. Every once inna while I buy something.
If you like yer RFC you can keep yer RFC.

Yep, you still whine pretty good for a guy who sells crap that isn't what he says it is and won't admit when he's proven wrong.... I'm wondering if this is the same reason you are whining about RFC also?
I hope your 72 made somebody happy and they don't realize they bought a misrepresented piece not worth what it was advertised as....

RFC is not someplce I go often. When I have, I have gotten some good info. If you think RFC is bad you obviously have not frequented .22 Firearm Owners on Not-to-Your Face book.
