Very difficult, if not impossible. Just get used to the double triggers, they're WAY better than a single trigger, faster to get on, and just what's happening. A conversion, if possible, would...

Need a bit more info. Mauser made several different rifles before and during WW II.

If it's a front dovetail, Brownell's will have a substitute, but for an original, you'll have to look...

The issue is case length, as a .22 headspeces on the rim of the case. Used to when .22 ammo was corrosive, it would pit the chamber at the case mouth in firing shorts, but that's been a LONG time...

There weren't enough of them made to make it profitable to make ammo. I've never read a range report which makes me believe most folks don't shoot them for ammo reasons.

I'm a .22 LR guy myself, and something of a .22 nut. There are few .22s that aren't pretty good rifles, at least none I"ve seen, so in a way whatever you buy is going to be a good rifle.

I wouldn't think it would hurt one. I've shot them with varying degrees of success. I've heard the rifling kinda gathers the shot in patterns that aren't condusive to accurate shooting. Plus the...

I've shot lots of 40 gr. bullets out of a .223, never blue streaked one yet. I think the Ballistic Tip bullets are designed to blow up around the hollow point (which is filled with a plastic tip.) ...

There is a good on-line article by John Barsness, a gunwriter who is knowledgable and tests his premises, on the 9-twist .223s. A lot of rifles are going that way with the heavier bullets. It's on...

I suspect it is a cost-savings move, but on the other hand, the aluminum housing now isn't anything to write home about. So it could be a net gain.

Have you tried any other cap? They aren't universal, but a lot of them will interchange.

My other suggestion would be go to a range, either indoor or outdoor, and check with the propieter. I lost...

I'll also reccommend the compartorer. But if you only have one rifle and you don't want to spend the cash of a comparator, you can probably make a workable substitute by drilling a hole thru the...

Most of them were arsenal rebuilt, and have great bores. The ammo is corrosive and will mess up the bore if you don't clean it soon after shooting.

I didn't even think about that possibility! I almost never buy factory, and reload my own stuff (except for Mil surp ammo.)

I load for mine with a 150 gr. bullet at about .300 Savage levels or...

Well, a lot of them were marked.308, but that civilian ammo is quite a bit hotter than 7.62 NATO, although they're identical dimension-wise, or near about. I wouldn't shoot .308 ammo at all.

Got to disagree with Dillinger on the .308's max effective range. The MER of the M 14 is about what he said, but that's with iron sights. The round in 168 gr. BTHP is well above supersonice at even...

Could it be that you shoot a group with an unsighted rifle, place the pointer on the group and then adjust your crosshairs to the point of the black pointer, and thus sight it in?

Depends on your budget as for rifle. But for caliber at those ranges, a .308 would work fine. Savage offers a very accurate but inexpensive rifle.

If it's a Ranch Rifle, someone put a folding stock on it. I think. The Ranch Rifles I've seen had a conventional wooden stock. I think you can mount a scope on a ranch rifle, but not on a regular...
