What do the washers/ spacers do? Deaden sound further? Affect POI drop or grouping size?

I fully support your plan to provide a selection guide. Also would like your perspectives on how important it is to tailor the moderator to the caliber of the pellet, e.g., can a moderator designed for .25 caliber be nearly as effective as a smaller diameter moderator for .177 pellets? And why...

I am selling a like-new Minotaur Gen II 12-60x60 MFL scope, model SCOL-40. Price $180 delivered to CONUS. (I paid a sale price $272 delivered. List is $499. Current price is $399) I originally purchased this model from Optics Planet last December. It didn't arrive until February, but I...

Here are the numbers I got for the scopes I've used in Field Target, at 16x: ------------------------------------Degrees of parallax knob turn Scope-----------------------------10-55 yards-------------40-55 yards Sightron SIII 10-50x60 FT--------------225-----------------------13 Vortex...

I've tried 9 different slugs (but not NSA) with no success. My early model .22 Avenger loves JSB 18.13s more than any other pellet. Getting about 0.8 inch 5-shot groups at 50 yards (at 930 muzzle FPS, 35 FPE). I'll try the NSAs.

I switched to a shorter, stronger spring that has 1/8" free play about a year ago. I did it to reduce the very loud report I get from my unregulated shooting at about 1300 psi, where I get the best accuracy from my .20 LW barrel. It quieted a bit but is still louder than others' USFTs, and...

I think the poster was asking about head size measurement and sorting, as the Pelletgage is used for. I would love one of your devices for weighing (if it can reliably differentiate pellets withing 0.1 grain of each other), but weighing is much faster than determining which head size hole a...

How do the ranging of these for HFT (16x) compare to your Sightron SIII 10-50x60?

Look into the Air Ordnance SMG 22. No longer made but fun. Some come up on Ebay for high prices, but give them a low bid and you might get lucky.

What are the typical shooting distances on your golf course "safaris"?

I'm the opposite. I like reviews that show the CTCs of five 5-shot groups. Also would love for reviewers to report dB of every gun they shoot so I can get a comparison over time. Lastly, nobody reports on length of pull. So maybe at the end, put a slide that has key information like this on...

OK. But having the muzzle line up with the scope bell at a fixed distance (in the mirror) doesn't ensure that the erector tube is parallel to the bore, does it? Don't you still need to shoot at 2 (or more) distances to see if there is any x-axis shift with distance? If there is, should you...

What are the key variables/ adjustments that good shooters test to "tune" the rifle position on a one piece or two piece rest?

Your instructions are clear and this will align the reticle with the muzzle. But does this ensure that the scope tube is also aligned with the bore? If the bore is angled slightly differently from the scope tube, won't shots at various distances shift left-right of the vertical reticle? Is...

I hope it works for you. But it didn't for me in my benchrest accuracy quest. I've tried HBN, moly, tungsten, teflon, and graphite. Treated barrels and pellets. Most increased muzzle velocity. None improved accuracy/precision; in fact they mostly worsened groups. And all but graphite...
