Unertl scopes were on Model 70 sniper rifles https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/the-military-model-70-a-forgotten-sniper-rifle/

That Unertl is a 20X , 3/4” tube, adjustable head. The glass is very good. The trigger is a simple double set trigger. I don’t know who made it, it is set at about 4oz - very shootable.

Looking for results of the Sniper King matches I came across this, Rod Janson was Sniper King in 1959 and 1960. And Steve Kostanich was Sniper King THREE Times! The last in 2016. Wow! Pretty nice shootin Steve! Odds are better that 37 Rangemaster’s rifle won the 1960 match. Sniper King names…...

I’m glad to get the info on that super cool rifle. Internet researching is a pastime, it’s like a puzzle. Here’s my Wasp in a shrine I made for it. Yeah I’m ok as long as I take my ….

Well there you go, more likely your rifle was from Rod Janson and likely was shot in the Sniper King Championship. Now gotta find the records from the Sniper King Championship at Tacoma to see if Dr. Janson shows up.

Being interested in your rifle I did some googlin. I found Timkin steel was used in Douglas barrels and there was a Dr. Rod Janson who was involved in the early days of Benchrest shooting when those heavy bag guns were being shot in matches. Could be the Janson who built your rifle. “ For...

Very cool rifle. I have a 1960’s 25 lb Taylor and Robbins 219 Wasp bench rifle. The big guns were known as unlimited bag guns, I believe they shot against rail guns. The Wasp is a great cartridge, mine consistently shoots bugholes.

I’ve barreled 4 Savages with Shilen prefits. I used an action vise held in a bench vise, barrel nut wrench turned with a torque wrench, go gauge and with cellophane tape to make a no-go gauge. Yep, easy, practical and the results were very small shooting rifles. This is a target from my...

I can only attach pics I previously posted here, can’t load new pics to post

Tony Boyer puts the fuzzy side of stick-on Velcro on his stop. I read his book, …. I put the Velcro on my stops, maybe more consistent bump in. It didn’t hurt. Lots of good ideas given here. You might try varying the distance to the front stop. Front bag squeeze can affect. And I’ll echo a...

In that 1986 edition Seely Masker describes the method he uses to break-in a barrel.

If that’s what it is it will be difficult to remove. CAN YOU REMOVE DURHAM'S ONCE IT HAS DRIED AND HARDENED? Removing Durham's can be difficult, but if you get it wet and let it absorb some moisture it will not make it soft, but may help in getting it out. You will need to break it up or dig...

I shot Lapua Polar Biathlon and Biathlon Extreme today at 60 up to 65*. About 1 in 10 rounds from both had high velocity “Cracks” - supersonic. the listed velocity for the biathlon ammo is 1106; CenterX is 1073, explains the “crack”. And I’m shooting at 8000 ft elevation. Neither shot as...
