Re: .45 "Marine Load"

I see that some shooters are using magnum primers in their .38 target loads. Has anyone ever tried using CCI #350 magnum primers in their .45 bullseye ammo? If so, how well did it perform for you? Was there an increase in accuracy? Is this a safe practice to follow with this round?

Re: Ring Torque On An Ultradot?

[quote="Rover"]Obviously, you haven't been using crap mounts, Snowbird.[/quote] Rover, Are you saying that Leupold Rifleman Detachable Rings are crap mounts? If there is some other product of a similar design that's better, please fill me in. By the way, what rings are you using? Thank you.

Re: Ring Torque On An Ultradot?

Rover,

I do appreciate your suggestion; will give it a try. Have a few more questions. Should I put that tape

only the ring bottoms? Only on the tops? Or is it best to apply it on both surfaces of both the front

and rear rings? Thanks!

Ring Screw Torque On An Ultradot?

I will be using a new set of Leupold Rifleman Detachable Rings to mount an Ultradot onto a .22 caliber pistol. The rings are 1" in diameter, horizontally split and made of aluminum in a Weaver pattern. Each ring top is secured with 2 screws. The tech at Leupold stated that 22 in-lbs. of torque ...

New Dot Sight?

Looking to purchase a new dot sight for a recently acquired Bullseye pistol. Have purchased a couple of UltraDots several years ago. Am still quite pleased with their performance so far. I went with this brand as it was the one most used by the Bullseye crowd. Is this sight still considered to be th...

Re: Spotting scope use

GunRunner wrote, " I've seen many set their scope up focused on the wrong target". Perhaps, these shooters would benefit from having two dot sights. Use one mounted on their pistol and the other on their spotting scope. LOL! Yes, people do make these kinds of mistakes. Speaking of errors, ...

Spotting scope use

I participate in a local weekly bullseye league. We shoot indoors on a range that is 25 yards long. One of the newer members in the group does not use a spotting scope at all. He does quite well, scoring regularly in the middle 280's out of a possible 300. Claims that he's able to rely on using the ...

Mystique of the S&W Model 52?

Have read in various sources that the Model 52 has a widely accepted reputation for being a rather "unforgiving" target pistol. Don't hear of this comment being leveled at any other Bullseye Guns, regardless of their make, model and caliber. Never fired a 52. Am not in the market for one e...

Re: Red dot return to zero

Isabel1130,

I misunderstood your earlier posting. Just like in rifle scope mounting, the lower an optical sight is mounted in relation to

a firearm's bore, the better the results tend to be. Thanks for the clarification!

Re: Red dot return to zero

Isabel1130, In your reply to "Xman", you had stated, "The shorter the base on the rings, the less dot movement you will perceive." I am a little confused about your statement. If one is using a 1 piece mounting rail, should it be as short as possible? Or should the 2 rings attach...

Iron Sights Again....?

After happily using UltraDot-equipped pistols for quite a while now, would like to try going back to shooting some of my other Bullseye guns that still have iron sights on them. I'm near-sighted and use single vision glasses corrected for distance. With them, I can see my sights clearly when at an o...

chiltech500, Have you considered trying Herrett's Stocks? They offer both standard and custom grips for a wide variety of different handguns. For the custom grips, you send in a tracing of your shooting hand to be used as a pattern. This way it doesn't matter if you have fingers that are short, long...

need iron sight advice for 1911 target use

fieldsj66, Isabel1130 suggested going to Walmart to find reading glasses that would help you to see your front sight clearly. I agree with this, with 1 thing to add. A lot of these "dime store" readers are really cheap and very fragile. Being small in size (like "granny glasses")...

Difference in .22 caliber Pardini Models?

For quite a while, Pardini had a pistol called the "SP New". Now I see that

they offer a version called "SP Bullseye". What are the differences/changes,

if any, between these two pistols?

Rumors are going around here that Benelli is coming out with a "new and

improved" version of their .22 caliber target pistols. Do any of you have

some info or knowledge about this? Tried searching the Internet, to no
