Kevin and Tim, Yes, I do remember seeing pictures of the Turbo aluminum stock. For the last several years I have traveled a bit all over and shoot both major sanctioning bodies. I have never seen one at a match, big or small, ever. While I do not know of one ever winning a match, never seeing...

Wayne, that's interesting. Mine is bedded in from the top and you can't really see it as it's bedded over for the action. You can see part it of it from the bottom/top of the trigger inlet though. You say it's made of steel? I guess in 11 years, Mark made some adjustments in how he does things...

Hey Tim, the rifle shoots good. I have won a couple of matches with it. It has 2 barrels and I have mostly shot it in the Unlimited configuration with the .900 on it and a heavy variable scope. Scope change (fixed power) and using the .850 makes 10.5lb. I have not worked or tested enough in that...

Okay, now you have tipped your hand a bit, as in more information. I have not heard of anyone making a bedding block for the 2500X such as Whidden is doing and just offering it to the public. I looked at Whidden's site and yes, they make bedding blocks, but it seemed to me only for factory...

Edit: Tim got to it while I was typing, but I'll leave my post as written.....only because I agree with him! Well, I have one, but it was custom made by Mark Penrod. It's in a McMillan HV Straight Line Edge stock and Mark did the entire build. I seriously doubt if he would make one and just...

The above reasons for lack of replies here are reasonable. Benchrest competitors shoot scopes of the type that Tim has mentioned, myself being one of those, and you have posted on a benchrest forum. SFP scope reticles do not get finer as the power goes up, they stay the same. FFP scope reticles...

Thank you Bruce Hornstein! Bruce, several members wanted you to repost in this sticky, myself one of them, and I am happy and thankful you did. Thank you so much for explaining another technique in dealing with the Sporter class rules. Whether it works for others or not, 'class act' by you to...

Excellent post and explanation Bruce. I will echo Keith's thoughts as to seeing it explained in writing has given me a better understanding than the conversation we had. I would also like to see this post added to the sticky section. Easy and quick way to reference it in the future...

Bruce, when we spoke at the UL Indoor Nationals you shared a Sporter tip with me. Is what you are referring to here have to do with where you position the reticle on the target? If so, I'll let you explain it. Scott

After reviewing the rules for both IR50/50 and ARA, I have only found one rule mentioned as to coaching during a match. It was in the ARA Junior rules stating a Junior could not be coached during the match. There are rules in both sanctioning bodies as to disturbing the line during the course of...

Hey Dean, I don't feel telling a fellow shooter they missed a bull is all that outrageous. I have had it done for me and have done it for others. In the case of coaching during a match between the shooter and someone not shooting the relay, I thought it was forbidden by rule, could be wrong. I...

Tony, things ware out on all kinds of things, rifles included, as you are well aware. I like George's thoughts, keep the old barrel and put a new one on the rifle. I would also, if mine, retain the name. It would not be the first time that has happened.....for sure! If, as Tim mentioned and is...

Minimum depends on conditions. On my three primary scopes, I run 60X if the conditions allow. I have had to go down as low as 20X indoors to battle mirage. Usually outdoors, never less than 40X......usually, but not all ways.

Glen and Hozzie are correct. Only thing I have to add would be an answer to the 'what was wrong' question. I have 3 B&A triggers and two of them failed. The fact that two of the failures were in Trident actions had nothing to do with the action, as already mentioned. I took both apart for...

Todd, Yep, berms......the scourge of the RFBR earth!! My club has 15' right and left berms on a narrow 9 bench range. 4-1/2' berm at 50, same at 100, same at 150 and then a dogleg out to 200 with a steady slope up to about 80' feet for the 200 back stop. Topographical nightmare. I hate to pick...

Now that is some critical information there! Excellent post Todd. My club, not a match club, is very much a B**** to shoot a good card at. I only do serious testing and tuning there very early in the morning when the wind is almost nonexistent. You wait too long when the wind picks up, and 4-5...

Hey Tony, Correct you are, Glen's rifle is a thing of beauty! I remember the first time I saw it, 2016 Iowa State ARA tournament at Voelker's club. Could hardly keep my eyes off of it. Hope to see you in Pontiac later in the summer. Later.....Scott

zanemoseley, It's 4 threads down from your new thread. The OP in that thread bought Ray Hill flags. You should too!

Sounds good.

Hey guys, just having a little fun! No harm, no foul....Lol! Mark, glad you got a good chuckle out of my post. Mike, the Muller barrel test sounds interesting. I'll look forward to seeing how that goes. I have a couple of really good barrels, with track records. Couple are Shilen, rest are...
