Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What does 223AI mean?

Used to have one of those RL's, got stolen. That pup ever smile like Gracie?

Dan,took the stock off and the rear action screw pillar fell out when stock was turned on it's side. Looking where the pillar was, the crack extended about halfway down.

Not up to speed on pillar bedding but don't understand how a pillar would fall out if the job was properly done up front. Thought the pillars were supposed to be glassed in place?

Sonovabitch!

I know Dan, I know. More than a little embarassing. I was never good, but adequate, haven't practiced in a while. Adequate has become suckage....

That sucks! Type for a McChange?

healers are healers. heelers are heelers.....

I get lucky and get a clear one once in awhile .

Minor magician with a shotgun, hell, that's what I was raised with. Didn't start fooling with rifles seriously until the early '80s. It was a Ruger #1 I picked up in '93 that had some substantial mods performed which led me to start working offhand. The best part of it was the Keplinger trigger, a single set trigger. 2.5# off, 8 oz when used. Started futzing with offhand and figured I was getting somewhere when I whupped a Navy Palma Team fellow one day at the 100 yard line. 'Nuther ol' fart with a .300 Win in Model 70 format whupped me in the same match, but only 'cause I pulled a single shot out of 10. Group was running right at 2" until that shot, opened up to a hair over 3". Ol' fart went less than 2 MOA, so I figured there was something left to learn.

Weight forward and a very light trigger are your friends in offhand competition. With that said, the 77/44 I'm shooting has a pull of about 4# +/-, and is very definitely not favorably balanced.

Short version of this is every time you go to the range or wherever you shoot, save 5-10 rounds for offhand. It will have an effect quickly, just don't get discouraged. Offhand .22 RF guns at 25 yards are a good starting point. Move to 50 when you start feeling cocky. My opinion only, perhaps a personal standard, but 2-3" offhand at 100 yards is good enough for field work. Longer than that and you'll get a chance for a rest most likely.

Work it a bit and you'll quit screamin' SONOVABITCH!

You guys have completely lost focus on here as of late....a thread bearing a caliber chambering question and you take it to heart and start spouting off about rifles and builds and accuracy and trigger pulls and God knows what not....groupings and loads....geeeeeezus H! Sonofabitch!


Pull up! Whoop, whoop, whoop! Pull up! Whoop, whoop, whoop! Terrain warning! Pull up!

Elmer, that sounds a lot like Newton's third law. Just sayin'.

And WTF is this thread about? I mean what besides everything under the sun? It's already the AI of all threads in the known universe. You can't AI an AI.

What's does .222 AI mean?

They do that every now and then...it happens.

I like that.
Plus, I'm gonna take a sidekick.
