Dear Green Day, Here is a
Dear Green Day, Here is a song for you to record.
Love Always, Paul
Hey dear, the individual Mafia is here
You didn't know? Well god bless your ears
Don't follow that crowd except to a concert
Where you can hear some great music monsters
But let's not call it a Mafia or fear
just a mindset for tunies, gravitations to hear
Independence means they don't rule your interior!
Feel that music just ride where the waves went.
Hey guess what?
It's time to learn
About what makes
The world burn
The careless thoughts
The mind you brought
To the meeting with all your screaming
Over butt you have no place
In helping us or my personal space
Teasing controlling imitating lame
Because I have a stance that has
Some train of thoughts that lead a lot
Instead of your useless cynical thoughts
Wht's your transaction?
Why are you here,
Just to make this place
Uncopeable space
You parasite with government might
Who ignores the laws
That should protect my rights
To be the better thinker I am here in spite
Of lame assed fags in the FBI
I'm the individual who garnered no crew
I'm only one man and I'll tell it straight to you
I carry ideas of true independence
Where your free to be crafty idealistically
Making words that sing about beauty with bite
Black widows are friends if you don't molest them
I've done it all with only one friend and that's wise of myself
So fuck you Amen
Can you please come back to
Can you please come back to new zealand! You have so many fans! :)
What happened with Mike's
What happened with Mike's photos? Has he sttopped using Instagram? :(
Well! You guys are just
Well! You guys are just awesome! You know well how to entertain even the fags around the world! Your true fans have great expetations and you always prove yourself! Just please tell me if you really read all this! I mean if you do, I would be the happiest motherfucker around cause I love you and billie joe!

My Favorite for Important Notes and Lists
By vtemia
from Miami, FL
I have the large Circa notebook, and I have full-size to-do sheets, which I use regularly. I use the task pads as bookmarks with important notes on them - I like to leave a little of the task pad sheet sticking out the top above the rest of the pages to remind me what I have to look at in all my notebook sections.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Task Pads

Best.Levenger.Accessory.Ever!!!! A must have for every notebook.
Great Customer Service!
By DebiDeb
from McClellanville, SC
The items I ordered were for a Christmas gift. Two of the three arrived in time, but the third did not. I received notice from Levenger that the item would not ship until Jan 2. They changed the shipping address on the final item so that it would go directly to my daughter and not to me and would avoid re-shipping it. I hated that one of the gift items will be late, but I really appreciate that Levenger notified me and helped me get the gift delivered in the best possible way. Things happen to delay orders but the true test of a company's customer service is how the delay is handled. Five stars to Levenger for such good Customer Service!!
Great ourchase
By Nursexc

Great organizational add-on

A handy organizational tool. Great for to-do lists, key meeting take-aways, and much more.
Amazing Little Pads!
By Glagan91
from Medford, OR
If I were to rename these pads, I would call them "Memory Pads", "Reminder Pads", or "Tracking Pads" because that is the way I use these pads -- to remind me of a task, a new word or phrase, a phone number, an idea, a thought, or to maintain a list of items I either need, or to keep available a fast and simple mini-inventory of items I have already acquired for a particular project.When I originally purchased these pads, I used them sparingly because of the cost. At some point, I realized that whatever it was that I wanted to address at a different time had a value that for me was far in excess of the 9 to 11 cents of each sheet. So, now, instead of carrying post-it type pads with me, I simply include 2-3 sheets of these in each of my Circa Notebooks, ready for use if I need them and not taking up disc space if I don't need them.
My little lifesavers!
By Kris
These are literally my little lifesavers. During meetings I can easily track task items while I am taking notes. No flipping to another section of my notebook or going back to my notes later to draw out action items. I simply keep one of these pages handy and jot "to do" items as we go along. Then it easily transfers out of my meeting notes and into my "to do" section. I keep a pad in the car, and in my purse for notes on the go! Now if they only had a cover fit to size and different colors! 3 pack - 3 colors! Blue, pink, yellow maybe?
By Miss La
from Memphis, TN
I love these, but I don't quite know why. I use them in and out of the notebook. They're great for writing little notes to myself. To use the other side all you do is flip it over. Blue is not my favority color, but every now and then I like iving on the edge.
great product
By Anonymous
LOVE these...works great with different size notebooks if you use more than one size...wonderful addition to the Circa line...please make them in different colors! (~10 yr Circa user)

Alternative Press are streaming the new ISLANDER album Power Under Control, a day before its release. "I've never been so honored to be a part of music," confesses frontman Mikey Carvajal. "I truly believe this is the album that the world needs right now. The youth are tired of bands not writing their own songs and they are tired of no one speaking up for what's really going on.

WELLSVILLE - Officers from the Wellsville Police Department descended on Joe's Bar and Grill and the adjacent Howie's Drive-Thru Friday morning, armed with a court order to shut the businesses down.
"The reason we're here today is to board it up and take inventory," said Wellsville Police Chief Joe Scarabino.
A local locksmith was present to give officers entry into the building and to change the locks on all of the doors at the bar and the drive through business next door. Police also brought a load of particle board, which was used to cover over all of the windows on the basement, first floor and second floors of the building.
A large box truck was provided for officers to take inventory from both of the businesses. Scarabino declined to specify which items were going to be taken and would only say that it was part of an ongoing investigation into the businesses involving investigators from the state Division of Liquor Control and Wellsville Police.
"A lot of investigative work went into today's activity," Scarabino said. He thanked the Columbiana County Prosecutor's Office for their efforts in making it possible. "We were able to present them with enough evidence that they felt that this place was a nuisance," he said.
County Prosecutor Robert Herron was on hand watching the operation unfold. He complimented Scarabino and his officers for their work in providing the materials that made the process a success.
The evidence presented at the hearing was distilled from 160 reports from 2009 to the present involving complaints to police or requiring police intervention at the bar and drive through. Herron referred to the array of reports as being "primarily drug-related incidents, but anything ranging from loitering to gunplay."
The nuisance motion was filed in common pleas court on Thursday, resulting in a temporary restraining order from Judge C. Ashley Pike authorizing police to close the businesses and take control of the buildings. Herron said a preliminary injunction hearing is scheduled for Feb. 19, at which time he will ask Pike for a court order closing the property for one year.
"At the end of the year, we'll ask for it to be permanently closed," Herron said.
The property is owned by Joseph Pappas of Riverside Avenue. Scarabino said Pappas was informed of the operation prior to its taking place.
When asked if charges were to be filed against Pappas in court, Herron replied, "This is a civil action. It is a civil action to close the operations of the site where the nuisance exists."
The closure of the bar included the two apartments located on the second floor of the building, leaving the occupants of those apartments a few hours to pack their belongings and find other places to stay.
Jade McKinnon said she and her neighbor above the bar had no warning that the building was going to be closed. "We just woke up, and they just knocked on our door and told us that we had to get our [stuff] out," she said. McKinnon began crying, saying that she and her three children had nowhere to go.
"It's unfortunate, but it's just the way it is," Scarabino said. He stated the court order specifies the need to shut down and close up the entirety of 1501 Main St., which necessarily includes those two apartments.
Also very upset was Tammy Williams, the mother of McKinnon's upstairs neighbor, Kristen Barnes. "I can understand if they want to shut the bar down or shut the drive through down, for whatever reason, but to put three families out up there? The children?"
Williams' husband, Wellsville Police Officer Howard Williams, was involved with the businesses at 1501 Main St., including the eponymous Howie's Drive-Thru and the bar, which is still listed on some internet search sites as Joe's Bar and Grill, but is called Howie's Bar on other sites.
Neither Pappas or Howard Williams could be reached for comment.

"I feel a lot of pressure, and I want to feel a lot of pressure," Smith said. "I told coach, 'If you want to put me in that position, I want to do it.' I like being that clutch player in the dire moments, either trying to stop a goal or trying to get a goal, I want to be that guy."
Great prospect we have on our hands.

There was one word that dominated new Penn State football coach James Franklin's comments when he discussed his recruiting plans with the media at Beaver Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
That word was "dominate."
"Our recruiting philosophy, we are going to dominate the state. We are going to dominate the state. We are going to dominate the region," Franklin said.
Later in the press conference, Franklin offered a reminder.
"I don't know if I've mentioned this before," he said, "but we're going to dominate the state. That is the first thing that we're going to do."
Franklin helped turn around Vanderbilt recruiting by landing a level of prospect the Nashville campus had rarely seen before in its football program's history. At Penn State, Franklin is poised to do more.
"I've worked a lot of different institutions that tried to compete in recruiting against Penn State University, and it was always an unbelievable challenge because this school has everything that young men are looking for; this school has everything that families are looking for," Franklin said. "That is going to be our plan."
With his boundless energy and vitality combined with the track record of his accomplishments at Vanderbilt and the reputation as one of the bright up-and-coming coaches in the country, Franklin seems to be in a position to make good on his promise. Bill O'Brien's staff had received 19 verbal commitments before he left for the Houston Texans, and it looks like most of those players are planning to stay on despite the staff turnover.
In fact, five recruits already are on campus and set to start classes on Monday. That number includes North Carolina receiver DeAndre Thompkins, who cited the presence of now-gone receivers coach Stan Hixon as a reason he committed to Penn State in the first place, and Canadian four-star quarterback Michael O'Connor. O'Connor seemed likely to wait to enroll if not choose another school, but he was recruited by Franklin before choosing Penn State, came to University Park with all his stuff and decided to stick by his decision to enroll after meeting the Lions' new coach, according to BlueWhite Illustrated's Ryan Snyder.
"It's pretty solid. All these kids are appeased by it. They're happy with it. They know what he did at Vanderbilt," said Greg Pickel, who handles recruiting for FightOnState.com. "Most importantly, they know he can coach both offense and defense."
With O'Connor and Thompkins in the fold, it looks like Penn State's weakest threads now are with New York defensive tackle Thomas Holley and New Jersey tight end Mike Gesicki.
Both Holley and Gesicki are four-star prospects and might be the two highest-ranked players in the 2014 recruiting class. Holley's commitment seems to hinge upon interim head coach/defensive line coach Larry Johnson's future with the program. According to an interview during the coaching search, Gesicki had been enamored with another candidate, Miami's Al Golden, although Gesicki did make a positive comment on social media Saturday night.
"Finally talked to the new boss at Penn State, Coach Franklin. Went well. #WEARE," Gesicki wrote on Twitter.
Although Penn State might only have four more scholarships to give out in this class, Franklin seemed to indicate he was prepared to honor all the previous staff's commitments.
"We're going to reach out to those guys right away," Franklin said. "One of the things that's kind of unique and interesting is a lot of those guys that we had recruited in the past, so I have a relationship with some of those guys already."
Among uncommitted players, Penn State has been high on the list of Florida safety Shawn Boone, Maryland guard Jared Cohen and Virginia defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi. Both Boone and Cohen have indicated they are still very interested in the Nittany Lions even with the coaching change.
In addition, Vanderbilt commits Trent Sherfield, a defensive back, and K.J. Carta-Samuels, a four-star quarterback recruit from California, have said they'd be open to Penn State if Franklin recruited them. Late Saturday, Ohio offensive lineman Chance Sorrell and Kentucky defensive end Lloyd Tubman announced they were switching from Vandy to Penn State, becoming the Lions' 20th and 21st recruits.
With ties in both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and plenty of coaching connections from his time at East Stroudsburg, Franklin has made locking down Pennsylvania his first priority and said the Lions also would continue to work its traditional base of New Jersey, New York, New England, Virginia, Delaware, and, presumably, Maryland very heavily. But, in what must have been golden words to those who followed Penn State recruiting over the last couple of decades, he didn't intend to stop there.
"We'll recruit nationally as well," Franklin said, "because I think you sell yourself short when you don't do that."
Franklin said he was looking to maximize the few remaining available scholarships for 2014 and seemed eager for the future.
"I really wish that we had 35 scholarships in this class, because I think we can put together one of the top recruiting classes in the country," Franklin said. "But I guarantee you those are coming. Those are coming."

What does everybody think ? $300.00 budget for a rimfire rifle (just the rifle) . What is the most accurate size rimfire cartridge(.22 , 22mag , 17 hmr etc..) for 100 yd bench shooting ?
If you enjoyed reading about "Most accurate rimfire" here in TheHighRoad.org archive, you'll LOVE our community. Come join

I'm gonna vote Savage in 17 HMR... I don't own an 17, I do own a 22 mag. But for bench shooting I think the 17 would do better.
November 28, 2012, 11:42 AM
I agree with Alman that the 17 HMR is the most accurate at 100 yards and that the Savage is a very accurate rifle.
However, if you intend to compete, be sure that the caliber qualifies. Many matches are for only .22 LR.
November 28, 2012, 11:48 AM
I had a Savage 93G in 22 mag , loved it & the price it came for . It was the most accurate rimfire I have had personal experience with . I never shot a 17 . I agree , you cant go wrong with an accutrigger .
November 28, 2012, 11:48 AM
Take a look at Henry h001 series lever action. Very accurate gun.
I own one in .22 and am very pleased with it.
November 28, 2012, 11:49 AM
Not competition , just want a really accurate fun gun .
November 28, 2012, 11:59 AM
I've never shot the .17's or the 22mag, but with some decent match ammo, 22lr has potential.
I shot a 10 shot 1" group at 100yds with a 22lr cz452 using wolf mt target ammo last time I was out. put 5 rounds into a ragged hole at 50. federal auto match will put 10 inside 1" at 50. And it has nice lines and a fabulous trigger with just a little work. ($20 yodave kit and done) And I am not a great shot.
November 28, 2012, 12:16 PM
At 50yds a good .22LR will give a good .17 a run for the money. At 100yds, the .17 will beat it every time. The .22LR's accuracy just begins to unravel at around 75yds. A half-MOA at 50yds rifle quickly becomes a 3/4-1MOA rifle at 100yds. `Tis the nature of the beast. However, most view the .17HMR as strictly a field round. It is highly accurate but I really don't see the point in buying one for paper punching only. Frankly, it's quite boring. The .22LR is much more of a challenge and offers a lot more opportunities for tuning, trying different loads and experimentation. Shooting half MOA with a .17 is no big deal. Shooting MOA with a .22LR is an accomplishment.
November 28, 2012, 01:40 PM
.17 can be very accurate.
November 28, 2012, 02:09 PM
.17 is also a LOT more expensive than .22LR. So for a budget minded solution I'd be looking at the Savage in .22LR as well. If they are primarily for target shooting the paper won't care.
We're using the single shot peep sight Savages in my club's Jr .22 program. I'm amazed at how good these rifles can be. Price aside they are a good shooter. And when you toss in the fact that they are generally priced less than the equivalent competition you've got a budget winner in my books.
If the lowly .22LR is more affected by wind and other conditions then what of it? It becomes good practice for reading and compensating for wind and in general becoming a better shooter.
November 28, 2012, 02:14 PM
For bench shooting, trying to stack round right on top of one another - .17HMR.
FWIW, though, my range has bolt-action, .22LR Savages (MkIIFVTs). While they aren't *as* accurate out to 100yrds, the difference if you're using a fast .22lr round might not be substantial enough to justify the difference in cost.
Your call, but just sayin'. This past weekend my son was breaking clays with his Marlin .22lr at 100yrds. I'm sure he missed some he 'should' have hit because of the round's performance, but it was plenty fun (and cheap!).
But, if your application is *strict* accuracy, buy the .17HMR and feel no remorse. :)
Good luck with the new tool, either way.
November 28, 2012, 04:04 PM
There ya go, I have an anschutz pistol that is more accurate than any rifle I have ever shot. From a rest it will group five in under a half inch at 100yds. They make rifles too, I just can't afford any of the super accurate ones.
November 28, 2012, 04:16 PM
Most accurate rimfire I have shot is my 50-some year old stevens buckmark in .22lr. At 50 yards I can put 5 rounds of blazer .22lr in under a penny. I have shot so good with it that I actually started shooting pennies for fun. The barrel is heavier than most barrels on newer .22's. Not bad for a $60 rifle. I am sure I could do under an inch at 100 yards. Look at some older rimfires, they will surprise you. They are made like everything else from many years ago, with pride and longevity in mind.
November 28, 2012, 05:42 PM
When you look at the absolute BEST accuracy in a rimfire bench rest competiton, 22LR is the most accurate, even at 100 yards.
When you look at what "production" rimfire rifle that wins more matches than any other, it's easily the Anschutz!
The most accurate rimfire "for the least money spent" is Savage... Then you start working on it to make it the most accurate it can be!
November 28, 2012, 06:01 PM
My 51 year old Remington 512 shoots 1.5" at 100 yards with federal bulk. It gets SCARY accurate with RWS Target, but I've never shot the stuff at 100 yards. Time of flight probably best measured with a calender. It will shoot one hole at 25 yards and nearly so at 50.
I've only shot Winchester dynapoint and CCI maximag in my 597 magnum, but with those, it shoots 1.5" at 100 yards. That's plenty good 'nuf for anything I'm gonna do with it.
November 28, 2012, 06:04 PM
When you look at the absolute BEST accuracy in a rimfire bench rest competiton, 22LR is the most accurate, even at 100 yards.
I've never seen or heard of a .22LR that costs $400 and shoots half-MOA at 100yds. Some even better.
Nobody said anything about high level benchrest competition or Anschutz rifles.
November 28, 2012, 06:07 PM
Walmart stocks a bull barrel marlin for $200 in .17hmr. No sights on it though.
November 28, 2012, 06:35 PM
I've never seen or heard of a .22LR that costs $400 and shoots half-MOA at 100yds. Some even better.
Nobody said anything about high level benchrest competition or Anschutz rifles.
.5 MOA at 100yds for 22LR is pretty impressive, but I can regularly get .8-1.2 MOA 5 shot groups out of my Savage. That is a $200 used rifle, with a no-name bipod in front, a sock filled with cat litter in the rear, a $25 used eBay scope and CCI SV ammo ($25/brick at Dicks sporting goods). I have no idea if it would do .5MOA, but I am pretty sure that with a decent quality front and rear rest and better ammo it could do better than the .8 MOA it does now.
No $300 rifle is going to be competitive against better rifles in benchrest, but the one advantage of 22LR is that you can buy cheap ammo when you want to just plink, and better ammo when you want to get more serious. Your ammo selection with .17 is much more limited.
November 28, 2012, 07:01 PM
A lot of BS gets thrown around when the discussion is how accurately a .22LR shoots at 100yds. For a bit of perspective and note the rifle used.
November 28, 2012, 07:05 PM
Also keep in mind cleaning the 17HMR is a pain compared to the 22.
November 28, 2012, 07:07 PM
If I were to bet on any rimfire it would have to be the Savage 17HMR with 17gr TNT HPs mine shot bug holes over and over and over again. One hole groups is awful small with a .17 cal! I miss that gun :(
November 28, 2012, 07:18 PM

Is that 22lr? If it is I would really like to see your setup.:)
November 28, 2012, 10:01 PM
Yeah it is a .22lr scary accurate. I will try to get some pictures up, but it resides in my dads safe for the moment. I live in the city, and he has a bit of varmint problems and really likes the handiness of the pistol. Best group I have ever done without the home made ransom rest was around 1.2" at 100yds just shooting off bags.
November 28, 2012, 10:15 PM
I would get a CZ 452 Training rifle in .22lr while they are still available new...They won't hold a candle to some of the claims made in this thread. However, they will easily shoot well under 1" ten shot groups at 50 yards using bulk ammo and will usually shoot groups about half that size using better target ammo.
November 28, 2012, 10:34 PM
Lots of good input & opinions here . I would agree a Savage 17HMR is an option . Anything CZ would also work although they can get pricier than $300in a hurry . I own 3 rimfires currently . Marlin/Glenfield 60 for semi auto fun & not to shabby as far as accuracy goes . Marlin 883SS in 22mag , also accurate to a point & a Marlin XT22VR . Not sure im going to achieve the accuracy Id like with the XT but I'm not done "tweeking" it . Just thought I'd get some opinions . Would really like a rimfire that will outshoot me . I think if I shop smart I can get where I'd like within my budget .
November 28, 2012, 10:45 PM
If you live near one of the CMP stores, go look at the "rusty" Kimber 82G's. Surplus, unused, target 22 RF rifles for $425. Granted a bit higher than your budget.
Most of the "rusty" Kimbers have virtually no rust and what they have cleans up nicely. But I would not trust the luck of the draw these days. You really need to inspect the rifle first.
The "rust" on mine was more like some kind of red dust.
Mine came with target sights and a scope could be mounted without drilling and tapping.
November 28, 2012, 10:47 PM
dried out grease can look like "red dust". hope you got lucky on that one, cfullgraf.

Yeah, that.
November 28, 2012, 11:08 PM

Mine cleaned up nicely, no "rust" after cleaning. It just had a couple of knife scratches in the stock as indicated in the description on the CMP sales site.
I did buy mine at the south CMP store.
One big problem with going to the CMP stores is it is very difficult to leave with only one rifle.
November 28, 2012, 11:42 PM
I use a 17, my friend use a 22mag, my setup is a mossberg 817 with a barska 4-16x40 on it, my friend uses a savage 93, 3-9x30 nikon prostaff, at a 100 yards my rifle shoots a tighter group, only because the five bullets i put through one hole makes a smaller hole then his five bullets through one hole
i recommended he get the 22mag, its a little more powerful, you get a wider variety of ammo, and it bucks the wind better, when the say a mouse farting can throw off a 17 shot, they ain't joking
single stack
November 29, 2012, 08:12 AM
Thank you CraigC for the published accuracy data.
Of course I have a Cooey single shot .22 that drives
Brads, not tacks at 100 yards.
November 29, 2012, 08:45 AM
Have to pick Savage if we stay under $300. If I got an extra $100 for Christmas I would go for a CZ 452. I have owned three and all of them shot as good as my 52 Winchester.
As for caliber I have to go with 22lr. When you compare ammo cost it is easy to see that you can shoot 2 or 3 times as many 22lr's as the others.
November 29, 2012, 09:18 AM
You want good accuracy at 100 yards then the 17HMR would be the best choice. They will shoot little bitty groups at that distance. I've been very impressed with the Marlin that I own. I really enjoy shooting 22 rf at 50 yards. The 22 long rifle at 50 is about as accurate as you can get and a lot less expensive than the 17. At 100 yards the accuracy of the 22 is way off from the 17. The 22 mag, I own one and don't care for it, is pretty accurate at 50 yards but goes seriously lacking in that category at 100 yds. I know I will catch some flack here but I thing the 22 mag is worthless.
November 29, 2012, 09:47 AM
I've never seen or heard of a .22LR that costs $400 and shoots half-MOA at 100yds. Some even better.
Nobody said anything about high level benchrest competition or Anschutz rifles.
And no one said i couldn't use those as a "benchmark" to compare to.
Knowing what is ALREADY working gives you something to compare to, the choises you are considering.
It always helps me when considering something new, it doesn't mean i have to buy the best, but i AT LEAST like to see what the best is like, and compare my choise to it. And, in this case, for a production gun, Anschutz is at the top.
November 29, 2012, 10:15 AM
Your post was misleading and irrelevant. Because the .17HMR and .22Mag are not used in benchrest competition. So how any banter about Anschutz rifles and $3000 benchrest guns is relevant to a discussion about which $300 rimfire to buy, I have no idea. If you read my link, you would see that it took a $3000 Swiss target rifle shooting expensive match ammo (much more expensive than .17's) to match the accuracy possible with a $350 Savage or CZ .17HMR.
When you look at the absolute BEST accuracy in a rimfire bench rest competition, 22LR is the most accurate, even at 100 yards.
How many benchrest competitions are shot with the .17's???
November 29, 2012, 11:03 AM
If one wants to try both the 17HMR and the 22LR, the CZ-455 comes in a two barrel combo for both calibers :-)
November 29, 2012, 06:20 PM
Lots of discussion about .17 vs .22lr here, but for a $300 rifle I think it could end up a toss up, but it depends on the particular rifle.
.17HRM - all rifles and ammo in this combo are likely to be pretty accurate, but selections of both rifles and ammo are a bit limited
.22LR - rifles in the $300 range may be anything from mediocre to outstanding with respect to accuracy. The problem is that two rifles of the same brand and model may not shoot the same, it is a bit of luck at that price, even with match ammo. One thing is usually true though - almost all .22LR rifles shoot better with better quality ammo.
All $1K+ .22LR rifles shoot well, but some $300 .22LRs come surprisingly close, but you do not know if the one you buy is a shooter until you get some time to run different brands of ammo through it.
November 29, 2012, 09:31 PM
How many benchrest competitions are shot with the .17's???
And that's my point! They shoot what is most accurate!
Do i really have to "splain" everything to you?? :banghead:
OK, have at it, i'm done splaining here... lol
November 30, 2012, 12:34 AM
And that's my point! They shoot what is most accurate!
Let's see, smart guy, if a $350 Savage shoots half MOA at 100yds and it takes a $3000 custom target rifle to shoot that well in a .22LR, what do you think that means??? The .22LR does NOT shoot more accurately than the .17 at 100yds and it is silly beyond words to believe so. They don't shoot .17's in benchrest because it would be unfair for them to compete against .22LR's. Not the other way around.
Pete D.
November 30, 2012, 07:15 AM
We are talking about two related but different things here. Accuracy of $300 rim fire rifles and accuracy of two types of rim fire ammo, the .17 and the .22.
Easy to get sidetracked since the efectiveness of each one is dependent on the choice of the other.
.5 MOA at 100yds for 22LR is pretty impressive
Yes, it is....it is for any gun and ammo combo.
A few years ago, at a small bore prone match in PA, I had the privilege of shooting next to, and scoring the targets of, a young man who was shooting for the US Naval Academy. It was a 2400 match.....a game of Xs. One of his targets, shot with aperture sights, no scope, prone, no bench, was a ten shot group a half inch in diameter. Literally one ragged hole.
He is not the only shooter who can do this.

When you look at what "production" rimfire rifle that wins more matches than any other, it's easily the Anschutz!
Actually for true bench rest shooting you rarely see an Anschutz win. People use 40X's, Hall's, Turbo's, Suhl's, and a few other brands in bench rest shooting. If you check out the equipment lists for the ARA nationals you are lucky to see more than 2 Anschutz actions in the top 100.
There are plenty of things an Anschutz can do if you get the right one. For local matches they are likely to be right at the top of the field. But on a national level look for something else.
BTW they are certainly far more than the OP's listed $300. We're talking about 5 times that much for a really good one. For $300 get a Savage in whatever caliber you decide on. CZ's can't be bought in that price range either unless you get really, really lucky and find some new old stock somewhere. I knew where to find some about 2 years ago but they are long gone now. I could have bought a 452 for under $300 back then. Now they're at least $400. And my CZ won't shoot as accurate as my Savage.

November 30, 2012, 05:34 PM
I have had excellent results with a Remington 597 in .22 LR. I almost went with the .22 Win Mag and I'm glad I didn't because they ended up have problems with that caliber in that model. The .22 LR has been great. I took it to a competition at the Rod and Gun club I belong to and for kicks took it up against rifles costing $3,000 to $5,000. Some of the expensive guns were shooting 18 to 20 out of 20; my gun cost $169 and came with a fixed power scope. I ended up shooting 17 to 19 out of 20 with my little Remington. I have to swear by that gun! We were shooting metal silouettes at ranges of 25, 50, 75, and 100 yards, with 5 targets at each different range.

November 30, 2012, 07:48 PM
The difference in accuracy between rifles is usually not that great Mr. T. My Marlin 60 has shot very tight groups at 100 yards. It doesn't do that every time but it does it often. But it is NOT as accurate as my Savage MkIIBTV or my CZ 453. The difference is in the consistency. It's true that a lot of semi-auto rimfires will shoot tight groups. But if we talk about "most accurate" then we have to talk about the bolt action rifles because they will shoot the best groups time after time even though it's only a slight improvement over other rifles. It takes a decent shooter to get the accuracy out of a gun too. 9 times out of 10 the difference between two people shooting is the result of the people making mistakes and not the rifles having problems.
November 30, 2012, 08:01 PM
Personaly,, I would choose ruger, marlin, anshutz, remington.... but I would never trust another savage,,, had a savage bolt pistol, in .223,,,, brand new from the box, and had nothing but problems,,, mostly a bad trigger mech. almost shot my dad with out even touching the trigger,,, a few times it would fire as soon as the bolt closed. I took it back to the gun smith, whom I purchased the gun from, he tested it, and determaned the trigger mechanism was faulty, but after my experiance I chose a different option,,, I wound up with a taurus 686 in .357, with a 6in. barrel, boss compensated...... except for the grips, it was the best pistol I've ever owned.
November 30, 2012, 08:08 PM
^^^ That is one of the first bad things I have ever read about Savage. Never had much knowledge about their pistols. Sorry to hear about your bad luck.
November 30, 2012, 08:37 PM
Seems like I have it narrowed down to a Savage MkII heavy barrel in one of many configurations available . I also concur with CAPCURT , if Santa drops a couple extra bucks in the kitty I would go with one of the CZ offerings . As I stated earlier in the thread I have 3 rimfire as is & am happy with all of them . .17 HMR seems attractive untill you get to the part where ammo is just as expensive as feeding an AR . The 883SS in .22HMR fills that niche already . I'm of the opinion the more rimfires the better . Always fun to buy , tune , restore , shoot & trade it for the next one . Some become fixtures that are "untouchable" . I know for some reason I have trouble with the Marlins , when I get my hands on a nice specimen I tend to keep them .
Again , thanks for all the input ,

Well, I'll throw in my $.02. If you don't already have an accurate .22lr bolt action, definitely get one before you get a .17 HMR. If only for ammo that costs 1/4 that of .17. You'll get way more trigger time on the .22 per dollar than the .17, and spending around $8/box on .22lr (around the same as a regular box of .17) will get you some nice match ammo that will shoot well under an inch at 100 with a Savage rimfire. With my Savage Mark II BTVS, I can consistently get 3/4" 100 yard groups with Eley Club ammunition.
December 1, 2012, 12:59 AM
...I would never trust another savage,,, had a savage bolt pistol, in .223,,,, brand new from the box, and had nothing but problems...
One has to understand than one guy with one problem gun is statistically insignificant. Experiences folks have with Savage and their rimfire boltguns in particular, is nothing less than stellar for the dollars spent. I have two and would not hesitate in the least to buy another. I've had three dozen Rugers of various types over the years and only one that had to be sent back. Should I judge all Rugers by that one problem gun? No.
December 1, 2012, 01:07 PM
I dont know which gun is the "most" accurate out there. I can tell you that my CZ 452 American is very accurate. It groups exceptionally . One day on my back porch I cut an inch thick tree sapling down with it at about 40 yards. It took a few shots but very few. I purchased the gun a few years ago after researching for weeks. I think I paid like $379 for it.
December 1, 2012, 02:46 PM
I have a CZ 13 , 2 Ruger 10/22s , Marlin bolt action, all are capable of one hole 25 round groups at 25 yds but all open up a bit at 50 and a bit more at 100 but still moa or less dependant on ammo and wind. So in essence all are very good or better accuracy wise. People expect so much out of so little. Most high dollar cf rifles are only guaranteed 1moa with match grade $2/round ammo.The 17 is very good but not very good at 100 in the wind and not allowed in most matches.

If one wants to try both the 17HMR and the 22LR, the CZ-455 comes in a two barrel combo for both calibers :-)
I almost bought one of these combos before I reviewed the barrel swap procedure and realized I'd rather just leave a 455 set up for one caliber. Took the wind out of my sails.
December 1, 2012, 07:44 PM
If it simply doesn't have to be a new gun, I'm sure you can find a used CZ in your budget range. I do a lot of rimfire shooting at extended ranges, thousands & thousands of rounds. At one time I owned a Savage 93, now I don't. However, I currently have the use of several CZ's.
December 1, 2012, 08:01 PM
Many fine choices in .17 and .22 cal. One I have is a Marlin .17 M2 caliber that will shoot almost perfect dead shot each time. It is me that has the problem just getting old and between eyes and shaking hands just happy to hit the target. I just picked up a NIB Marlin XT Series .17HMR that I am expecting excellent results from, comes drilled and rail mounted, along with a very nicely finished BULL barrel, one 4rd mag and one 7rd mag. Selling point for me is the adjustable trigger, I have set mine at 3lbs and the trigger has not noticeable creep, it is smooth and crisp. As I said I am expecting better results shooting from my bench rest. Price on it was $249.-- out the door, the gun dealer I bought it from said Wally World might have them cheaper but that was not the issue, if I have any problem with it I can go back to the dealer rather than dealing with all the red tape and crap from Wally World.

Go pick up a 10/22. With a few minor modifications that have nothing to do with the action, you can have it outshooting a Volquartsen and your competitors shooting $2K+ rigs scratching their heads.

I have a Ruger 10/22 and a 1952 Marlin bolt action DL81. If I was to buy another 22 in the $300 price range it would be the Henry H001. Those little lever actions are beautiful, and the smoothness of there action is second to none.
December 1, 2012, 08:58 PM
Henry H001
Don't know how I forgot to mention the Henry, especially since I have one sitting in gun cabinet behind me.

I'm a big proponent of the 10/22 but that's more than a bit of a stretch.
December 1, 2012, 10:06 PM
I would agree a used CZ 452 , 455 or even a trainer would be at the top of my list . Unfortunatly I see no used CZs in my neck of the woods and a gunbroker purchases sight unseen seems risky to me .
Walker ,
I have a new XT22VR heavy barrel getting ready to live in a Boyds RVT stock . Im not sure it will be a tack driver but it sure is pretty . Did I mention I have a soft spot for marlins ? :D
Rider , Walker & others that mentioned the Henry1001 ,
Great , fun little gun but not for this application .
For those who mentioned the 10/22 ,
Fun little .22s & great platform to "tinker" with . However its been my experience a Marlin 60 will out shoot a 10/22 right out of the box . Money must be spent on the already pricier Ruger just to keep up with 60 .
Anshutz ?
I wish .
Love this thread & everybodys opinions . Could go on forever on this subject because just about everybody owns a least one rimfire rifle .

A Message from President Dennis J. Murray
I am pleased to present this comprehensive report on Marist College's efforts to make our campus cleaner and more environmentally friendly. Marist has been a longtime leader in preserving and protecting the Hudson River Valley, and we are very proud of our commitment to sustainability. This report outlines the College's significant environmental accomplishments over the past years and provides ideas for additional actions that can be taken to protect our planet. I urge you to pay particular attention to the section on what you as individuals can do to make a positive impact.
It is important for all organizations to be concerned about our environment, but colleges and universities must take the lead in educating people about the issues related to sustainability, as well as setting an example of environmental stewardship. We must also ensure that we address issues based on good research and sound science. Marist is justifiably proud of its record, and I thank you for your support as we continue our efforts to find sustainable solutions to today's environmental challenges.
To ensure that Marist is doing everything that it can reasonably do, in 2007 I established the Campus Sustainability Advisory Committee (CSAC). One of CSAC's first tasks was to review the environmental work that Marist had previously completed and to suggest items that should be on our agenda going forward, both at the institutional and individual levels. The following is a summary of our major initiatives.

Safety First: New Personal Protective Equipment Policies
The ALS has been working to adapt Berkeley Lab-wide policies regarding the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in laboratory areas for application to the ALS's unique experimental areas. The result is a three-part approach that designates certain technical areas and/or activities for which various forms of PPE are required.
Red Floor. The first technical area consists of all parts of the ALS experiment hall where the floor is painted red. This encompasses essentially all space under the dome in the facility, including the beamlines, accelerator tunnels, and pit areas. The PPE requirements for this area are closed-toe shoes and long pants or equivalent. Note that the nonpainted perimeter walkway and the designated pedestrian walkway used for tours are not covered by this requirement.
Yellow Border. In addition to the above requirement, within the experiment hall, certain smaller, limited areas exist where chemical and/or biological materials are used or stored. This also includes areas where open containers of liquid nitrogen may be found. These areas are identified by floor mats with a yellow border. All individuals who enter these areas (i.e., step on the floor mats) must wear proper eye protection (typically safety glasses) in addition to the closed-toe shoes and long pants.
Chemical use area at Beamline 6.3.1.
Liquid Nitrogen. Finally, when pressurized liquid nitrogen cylinders are being manipulated, an environmental hazard to the eyes exists. Regardless of where this work occurs, anyone within a radius of 3 ft must wear safety glasses. This is reinforced with signage at the cylinders. Note that this environmental hazard does not exist when the cylinders are not being manipulated, and safety glasses are not required just to walk past a stored gas cylinder (such as exists at many loading docks, etc.).

Bilayer Graphene Gets a Bandgap
Graphene is the two-dimensional crystalline form of carbon whose extraordinary electron mobility and other unique features hold great promise for nanoscale electronics and photonics. But without a bandgap, graphene's promise can't be realized. As with monolayer graphene, bilayer graphene also has a zero bandgap and thus behaves like a metal. But a bandgap can be introduced if an electric displacement field is applied to the two layers; the material then behaves like a semiconductor. A team of researchers from Berkeley has engineered a bandgap in bilayer graphene that can be precisely controlled from 0 to 250 meV. With precision control of its bandgap over a wide range, plus independent manipulation of its electronic states through electrical doping, dual-gated bilayer graphene becomes a remarkably flexible tool for nanoscale electronic devices.

Hybrid Rotaxanes: Interlocked Structures for Quantum Computing?
Rotaxanes are mechanically interlocked molecular architectures consisting of a dumbbell-shaped molecule, the "axle," that threads through a ring called a macrocycle. Because the rings can spin around and slide along the axle, rotaxanes are promising components of molecular machines. While most rotaxanes have been entirely organic, the physical properties desirable in molecular machines are mostly found in inorganic compounds. Working together, two British groups at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Manchester have bridged this gap with hybrid rotaxanes, in which inorganic rings encircle the organic axles. The hybrid architecture greatly increases their range of useful physical properties, such as the magnetism based on molecular magnets that may make them suitable as qubits for quantum computers.

ALS Multimedia Stars Help Educate the Public
How do you explain the science at the ALS to those without a science background? Emma Floyd, an undergraduate journalism student, created two videos to try and answer that question. "What is the Advanced Light Source?" gives a brief look at what the ALS is, who uses it, and how it works. In "The Big, The Small, and The ALS," viewers get an idea of the scale of the science done at the ALS with a quick look at some of the incredible numbers and measurements scientists use daily.
Have you ever wanted to ask a scientist to define a term in lay language? The Berkeley Lab Public Affairs Department thought so, which is why—with the help of scientists all over Berkeley Lab, including the ALS community—they have put together a video glossary , prominently featured on the Lab's homepage. Among the terms defined are photons (Ben Feinberg), synchrotron radiation (Mike Martin), protein crystallography (Corie Ralston), surface science (Miquel Salmeron), and free-electron laser (John Corlett). Entries are added each week, some of which are prompted by viewer suggestions.
For the user runs from July 14 to August 17, the beam reliability [(time scheduled – time lost)/time scheduled)] was 97.2%. For this period, the mean time between failures (MTBF) was 33.5 hours, and the mean time to recovery (MTTR) was 56 minutes. There were no significant interruptions. (This period includes two-bunch operations from August 5–16.)
During this period, a new record was set for continuous hours of light provided to users in a single week of operation. For the period from July 14–19, 120 continuous hours of light were provided to users in top-off mode without any interruptions.
More detailed information on reliability is available on the ALS reliability bulletin board, which is located in the hallway between the ALS and the control room in Building 80. Questions about beam reliability should be directed to
Long-term and weekly operations schedules are available here. Requests for special operations use of the "scrubbing" shift should be sent to Rick Bloemhard (

West Seneca
The town wants a spot at the table of the Erie County Industrial Development Agency's Board of Directors.
If it doesn't happen soon, town officials say they're prepared to start an IDA of their own.
"I just feel that West Seneca should be given an opportunity now or a promise that somebody will be appointed in the not too distant future," said Town Board member Eugene P. Hart. "If it doesn't happen, I'm ready to push ahead and form an IDA of our own."
Hart suggested that Town Supervisor Sheila Meegan should be appointed to the county agency alongside other current town supervisors, Anthony F. Caruana of Tonawanda, Mary F. Holtz of Cheektowaga and Barry Weinstein of Amherst.
Hart said both he and Meegan were recently told by Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz that there was not a seat for West Seneca on the 19-member board, chaired by former Rep. John J. LaFalce.
"I really think we need a voice," Hart said. "We have to look out for the taxpayers of West Seneca."
Hart, and other members of the West Seneca Town Board, last week charged Attorney Shawn P. Martin with researching how the town could go about forming its own agency. Martin was given 60 days to report back to the board on his findings.
Clarence, Lancaster and Amherst – which also is represented on the county board – have their own IDAs, so going it alone is far from unprecedented. Given his druthers, however, Hart said he would rather Erie County "give [West Seneca] a voice."
Also coming up:
• Town Hall will close in celebration of the Christmas holiday at 1 p.m. Monday.
• The Charles E. Burchfield Nature & Art Center, 2001 Union Road, will hold a Holiday Open House from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday and Sunday.
The free family event, sponsored by Friends of the Burchfield Nature and Art Center, allows visitors to "enjoy the simple pleasures of the holidays" with crafts, refreshments like cocoa and cookies and demonstrations.
Also included are walks in the park, games, stories and bird-feeding. Visitors also are invited to send holiday cards to veterans.
• The "People's Choice Award" will be presented to the photographer who received the most votes in the Burchfield's Photo Contest at the center on Saturday. The contest exhibit is on display at the gallery in the center through the end of the month. Burchfield officials invite viewers to stop by and vote for their favorite photograph.
• The Town Board will hold a reorganization meeting to start the New Year at 2 p.m. Jan. 3 in Town Hall, 1250 Union Road. That will be followed by a regular board meeting at 2:30 p.m.

As the clock ticks down on the automatic spending cuts that will kick in on March 1, tempers in Congress are flaring and cracks in the Republican Party blame-game veneer are becoming more apparent.
On Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner—who has been front and center on impugning the president for the problem by telling President Barack Obama he already got his tax cut and he won't get anymore—made this statement to reporters after a closed-door meeting:
"We have moved a bill in the House twice. We should not have to move a third bill before the Senate gets off their ass and begins to do something."
But critics say that misleading the public is something that will come back to haunt Republicans in coming elections, because the fact is that Senate Democrats have offered spending-cut bills, including one last week with $110 billion in deficit reduction, but it wasn't palatable to the Republican-controlled House because it contained $55 billion in new tax revenues by cutting loopholes and adding a tax on millionaires modeled after the Buffett Rule.
Republicans have quickly forgotten that Obama's so-called tax cut was, in reality, an agreement not to extend the Bush tax cuts any further for people making more than $250,000 per year.
For weeks, Republicans have done nothing but hold their line in the sand on blaming Democrats and the president for not being willing, in their view, to come up will a bill to their liking. Grand Old Party members have even floated the idea that deep cuts in government spending won't be a bad thing for national security, dismissing warnings of defense cuts that could make the country more vulnerability to terrorism as nothing but "scare tactics."
GOP lawmakers say they have no concerns about repercussions if $85 billion in automatic cuts goes through, because they view it as the best way to reduce government spending, even if jobs and the lives of real people are negatively impacted while Republicans sit in their bubble on Capitol Hill.
The party is getting plenty of support in their obstinate position from special interest groups like the Heritage Foundation.
"If (Republicans) don't shy away from this, if they don't run from their own shadows and they don't buckle at the last minute, I think it's a battle they can win," conservative Heritage Action spokesman Dan Holler was quoted as saying in The Hill.
For weeks the president has been taking his message on the road to the American people that spending cuts without the balance of additional revenue would be bad for the country, and Republicans don't like what he has to say or that his poll numbers continue to rise as the battle wages. They have tried to use it against him by saying he should "stop campaigning" and go back to D.C. and work with them.
Always good at labels, Republicans are now calling Obama the "road show president." But he also met with governors at the White House on Monday, as they convened at their annual meeting.
Republicans may be shrugging off the devastating impacts spending cuts will have on the country, but the obnoxious implication by Boehner that Senate members are doing nothing but sitting on their asses does reveal a sign that House Republicans may be sweating bullets in those closed-door meetings.

Each Teaching the Arts feature presents an in-depth look at artworks in Mia's collection from the point of view of a monthly theme.
These activities for self-guided groups are designed to be used by a teacher or chaperone to facilitate a conversation about artworks with students. Alternatively, students can use these individually to guide looking and study as long as the chaperone remains with them at all times.
Reservations are required for all school groups. Please be sure that you have reserved your self-guided tour by completing the online request to assure space is available for your group.
These experimental lessons are created by members of the 2013–14 cohort of the Twin Cities Teacher Collaborative (TC2), an urban teacher residency that prepares mathematics and science teachers for the classroom. TC2 residents incorporated artworks from the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection into original lessons that can be taught in your classroom; some can also be taught in Mia's galleries. Where relevant, the lessons include Minnesota academic standards and the benchmarks they support.
Mexican Prints at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Obra Gráfica Mexicana en el Instituto de Arte de Minneapolis) provides a close-up look at fourteen prints from the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) made by a selection of Mexico's leading artists from 1890 to 2010. This resource is designed to be relevant to visual arts, social studies, English language arts, Spanish language, and interdisciplinary lessons for students in grades 6 to 12. Guiding questions and activities encourage students to look closely at, analyze, and communicate about each of the works of art using various methods ranging from discussion and writing to art creation.
These materials are not designed as a curriculum of sequenced lessons. Instead, the components are intended as springboards for you to integrate into your curriculum or use as a discrete lesson plan to challenge your students and meet their curricular needs. We have provided a list of Minnesota state standards that can be supported by using these materials.
