What’s your rifle to stay sharp between hunts?

[Breachandclear]

The one you actually grab when the season’s over but you don’t wanna lose your edge.

Plenty of dudes parade their glossy walnut wall hanger piece to the public range for bench-bro nods, and then there’s my setup: Bergara B-14R carbon fiber barreled action dropped into a Q Side Chick chassis, Q Erector can , Leupold MK 3HD in a Reptilia mount.

I jacked the whole build straight from the legend KB after listening to his Live Q or Die podcast. It’s been my range day go to for a couple years, and damn if it ain’t a straight-up cheat code for rimfire precision.

Lightweight, stupid-accurate, eats .22 like it’s free, suppresses like a dream, and absolutely control-alt-deletes yard grizzlies.No reciprocating bolt bullshit—just pure, quiet, fun that pushes you to stretch shots you’d normally save for centerfire.

Screw sensible, this is indulgence. The rig that sparks that fire every time you shoulder it. Not for spreadsheet guys. But for the man who builds excellence because he can and because it’ll give your next of kin something worth fighting over. Skip logic. Chase legacy.

Pros: Reliable, accurate, ultralight, packable

Cons: Q doesn’t currently make the Side Chick Chassis anymore

I have a Cz452 lux. Great little 22 target rifle. I have also fell for a Ruger 22 creedmore I built. A tack driver and a dream to shoot suppressed.

CZ rimfires are an incredible tool to stay sharp and have fun. This rifle was my therapy during quarantine.

Steyr SSG69 in .308, heavy barrel, late build, single trigger, highly modified with a new bottom metal that enables standard box mags versus the frail rotaries from the factory (cool, just frail), and a custom stock from Danny at Staffordshire in the UK, now sporting a Leupold MK 5 7-35/56 (VX5 in pic) - Spartan adapter and yes, probably needs the blaze orange version. I love to shoot this at the range to stay current, it’s a comfortable ride.

I don’t shoot far. In the PA mountains the furthest I’ve attempted a shot is 175 yards. Down a hill, with an excellent line of sight. There just too much brush you can’t see that might send your shot into a tree.

So, I shoot this Marlin 45-70. It’s easy to shoot it in the off season when it shoots sub MOA and is a serious hoot to shoot supressed.

She just needs a better scope and happy with it.

What scope are you thinking about for a replacement?
