Re: Youth shooting opportunities in Austin Texas area?

Thanks for the tips! I've passed it all along to my daughter who has since joined the forum. She opted to join the Burnet County 4H group which was much closer to where they live. The shooting coach there is Guy Taylor who has been terrific in nurturing my grandson's budding interest. I bought him a...

Youth shooting opportunities in Austin Texas area?

My grandson lives in Austin, TX and is interested in getting into a youth program preferably AR but maybe small bore. He's only 11 years old but acts older and is very sensible. He was just visiting us here in VA and I let him shoot my Winchester Model 52 .22LR and Ruger Mark 2. My Pardini SP is LH ...

Re: Winchester Model 52 values

In my post above I incorrectly stated that the 52B I recently purchased was built in the 60's. That's what the FFL seller told me and I hadn't yet run down the SN which is 47502B. Winchester database online indicates a 1939-1940 build, but today I reached the 70 year son of the original owner who sa...

Re: Pardini SP Bullseye Edition ammo choice

I bought a new Pardini SP BE package in early December and have run over 2000 rounds of CCI SV and 1000 of Eley Target through it without a single hiccup. Before that I had a older SP and ran countless rounds of both types of same ammo with zero firing or feed issues. Not sure if it makes a differen...

New Pardini SP Trigger

I bought a new Bullseye SP package from Pardini USA about 6-weeks ago to replace an older SP. I loved the old gun and love the new one even more. Ive made numerous trips to the range since then and have run around 2000 rounds through the new gun without a single hiccup. Yesterday after firing 65 rou...

Re: Pardini SP vs RF

I bought a new SP Bullseye package from Pardini USA about two weeks ago. It came with rings for the Ultradot with a Match 2 and appropriately milled bases (rather than a picatinny rail). I had a 20-year old SP before this one that I loved—but love the new Bullseye model even more. The Rapid Fire Par...

Need a shooter's Optician

I'm a new member living in VA Beach very interested in Bullseye shooting. In recent months I've acquired a Pardini SP and Hammerli 208 and am having fun getting used to shooting both at a local indoor range. I've got a Ultra Dot mounted on the SP which works great with my 73-year-old astigmatism-pla...

Re: HK Elite..Any thoughts?

I had one but was disappointed. I was told that the Elite was more accurate than my HK Expert, so bought one. I didn't like the balance and my aging eyes didn't like the longer sight radius. It may just be me, but I wasn't impressed with the accuracy or trigger, so sold it after a few frustrating tr...
