There are probably prescription drugs that will help to alleviate this type of abberant behavior.

You really cached this? Is there a doctor in the house?

Don't lubricate it. The oil is probably freezing and bonding the follower to the magazine wall.

That was why I suggested he trade off for a double rifle. He surely can handle a magazine on a double rifle,no?

Jim,

Your browser caches pages as you stomp through the Internet; as I had not yet closed my browser, it was a simple thing to hit the back button repeatedly until his post re-appeared.

It's not like I saved the page to my hard drive, although maybe I should save that clip and use it in some sort of instructional capacity, i.e., how NOT to work a bolt.

It is not lubricated.I don't think I have this issue with my second Ruger Lott.

Okay, that is a 1:39 I'll never get back.

George,

Might want to refresh that cache more often, lest material such as this infect your computer. Having something like this inside your system would be akin to a hard drive brain tumor.

Glad to hear tha as the reason. My top two theories pending your response were:

1. You were a secret Shootaway admirer and closet Shootaway groupie;

2 You were a huge Three Stooges fan and cached contemporary examples of full blown stooge behavior for posterity.

Good to hear it was a software issue....

I'll try to get another video or two when my arm,shoulder, back and foot heal(in a day or two).Finally getting to the point of shooting the Ruger and CZ offhand,more often and comparing the two.

Try to be a bit more limber when you fire your artillery. A stiff locked up position will punish you dramatically. Give with the recoil some. If you don't fear it, you will eventually over come it. Don't shoot with a rigged locked back. As you know it hoits a bunch, could cripple you. RELAX. Another route to go is roll your own and start out with the mildest load you can find in the book. Work your way up and voluae, you are shooting dinosaur loads. It's called familiarity.

If anyone wants to see one of the nicest 375 bolt action rifles,check out the new rifle on the Martini and Hagn website,the first rifle in the "newly finished projects" section.It's not mine but it's owner must be proud.I was told all the work was done by Ralph Martini.I shouldn't do this if I ever want to see my project finished.

I was at the range again today and had another try at firing my lott offhand.My arm is still sore and shooting the thing is still uncomfortable,as you can see in this vid.If I can keep from shooting it for at least a month,my arm should completely recover and shooting it will be much more pleasant.If you remember last time I talked about the follower getting stuck and although I do have this issue with the rifle,it was not the cause of the loading issue in this and my last Ruger Lott vid.The reason for my issue is simply that I was trying to stuff 4 rds in the 3 round Ruger magazine.Here is the vid from todays practice session.I am shooting the Ruger Lott at full power at 100yds.]Ruger Lott 100yds

George -- you seriously need to load rem 405 at 2100 fps and shoot that for 6 months, nothing else.. You have a HORRIBLE flinch and you act as if its someone else's rifle, everytime.

Look up Rob or I giving people advice on HOW to shoot a big bore.

Frankly, George, your antics make "a couple amatures" from my website seem like 2 guys shooting 22 olympic rifles for world records.

"My arm hurts" .. that's because you don't DO IT RIGHT.

Beside, we know it's not you.. no tutu or helmet, you big bore ballerina (emphasis on the A) you

jeffeoso,I don't have a flinch.I have a sore arm and shoulder.If I had a flich,the bullets would not hit the bulleye as a couple did at 100yd in this vid.

After viewing the former videos and the last video also, what is in the tunnel or overpass in the down range part of the video? Does vehicle traffic use the tunnel for access to the range? Inquiring minds want to know!

300yds+ targets.It's just a space in the dirt mound that can be closed off.

I recall a post in which you said you did not like the work of M&H, that they did not meet your high standards.

I was wrong.BTW,that Ruger is one hell of an accuarte rifle.That trigger is very reliable and the sights are excellent.I will continue to shoot both the CZ and Ruger offhand and get a feel for them.The arm is getting better and my shooting should improve next time around.I had my Win mod 94,30-30 along and had some fun shooting that.These two last shooting sessions taught me that iron sights need to be held really secure with all screws tightened as hard as you can to prevent shifts in the point of impact.Screws that at first appeared tight were just not tight enough.Loose screws on iron sights show up on the target as perfect groups side by side only spaced apart.The same could be said for guard screws on the big kickers.Loose guard screws show up on the target as a sudden lowering point of impact and large groups.

You say your screws are loose?

No promotion yet, still a commoner. Did I miss the New Year's Honours List this year?

Good news though -- none of my screws are loose.

Could Shootaway actually be the demented spawn of ScottS?-Rob

I got an email yesterday saying that the first two of the three parts of my Zim hunt are ready.I should have some video to post soon.

What confused me about the whole thing is that the Ruger mag will easily accept four snap cap rds and I got used to putting four down.

Thought I'd post a vid (and decorate my thread) of my skate on the riviere de l'assomption this afternoon.I should be at the range back again tommorrow.I've been playing some ice hockey and scoring alot of goals.I've been told that I have more energy than a energizer battery.]ENJOY

Fantastic, outstanding. Did it cost you much to make that video?

CZ 458WM.]100yds offhandI was out shooting my rifles again today and noticed the mild humid weather messed up both their point of impact.After a month of cold dry weather,we got some warmer,moist air and noted that it caused all the screws on the rifle to loosten up.I made sure they were tight right after the last time I was out and they loostened up since.These rifles are expertly bedded.After weeks of maintaining the exact same point of impact,things all of a sudden shifted by nearly a foot in both rifles.I never had such an issue in lesser calibers or medium bore rifles.I once again had an easier time of picking out a difficult target with the deep V-notch sights on the CZ compare to the Ruger sights.Ruger Lott]Lott Offhand 100yds

Now I know we've been had.

Is this guy for real or is he just smoking something green?

we need to call him "flinchie"

I think the forearm screws on both rifles,that pull the barrel down on the forearm,is what causes a large shift in the point of impact on big bore rifles with changes in humidity.After cleaning these rifles,side by side one sees that CZ barrel can't come close to the Ruger barrel in smoothness and accuracy.I believe that Ruger barrels are one of the most accurate barrels,if not the most accurates barrel ever.

Ah, i found a hidden cam of flinchie inspecting his new pistols

That is why I specifically told my gunsmith not to put a screw into the barrel recoil lug of my 458 Win mag!

"I believe that Ruger barrels are one of the most accurate barrels,if not the most accurates barrel ever."


Can you post a 100 yard target of a group less than .25 inches C-T-C? Maybe done offhand?
