Pete, is there a link to a site with further information on this? (Some of this is greek to this old newbie....) thanks, ed

ultrasonic cleaner Another approach is to decap the brass and then clean it in an ultrasonic cleaner, the primer pocket comes out nice and clean.

rules? I am new to the game, where can I find descriptions of the various classes and competition rules, targets etc? I don't even know what HV and LV mean.... :)

Jonny and blades are right, although having the proper T slot clamp is a must unless you are glueing up a permanent modification, which I would not want to do on my 602. I ordered one from Champion, it just arrived, it is an Anschutz piece which fits either Anschutz or FWB rifles. Very nice...

Newbie question: I just received my new (to me) FWB 602. It has a rail, but that forward portion of the forend slopes upward towards the muzzle, it is not parallel to the line of the bore. Is there a readily available wedge type accessory which will let me use this on a rest, or should I...

Not a benchrest rifle, but a very accurate and fun sporter is made by CZ, and the 452 is still available in left hand models. The 452 is generally replaced by the 455, and the older 452's are held in higher regard by most. Not expensive, you can get a new one for around $400. Ed

Roland, I celebrated my 72nd birthday on Saturday and shot my first F Class match yesterday, at 600 yds (all we have), in bright sunny but cool weather, with some nasty changeable gusty winds. This was right on the heels of a Springfield/Mauser match, shooting my Swedish Mauser model 96, so...

Since this seems to be a generalized thread, I will ask (as a newly qualified 600 yard shooter, newbie to F class), do you have to worry much about wind-drift with the .223 @ 600 yds? I have been told I should not even try using my Savage m.12 LRPV in .204 Ruger, because of the lightness of the...

I asked the Old Gunny who coaches the four position youth group at our club, how often they clean the bores of the Anschutz rifles they use, and with what, and his reply was "Never"! Just saying....

light duty (yellow) #4-6 x 7/8" anchors do well, even cycle thru magazines reasonably well. The orange colored plastic snapcaps do not hold up well in my experience, the light metallic blue ones do better, but are pricey. Don't remember brands, just how they look.:rolleyes:

Is use of a boresnake (clean) frowned upon?

Newbie followup questions; I assume you mean the Savage is better than the off the shelf Remington? I have a Savage 12 LRPV, LH port, which I really like, but it is in .204 Ruger, which won't cut it at longer distances with any wind, so thinking of adding a heavier calibre. Debating between...

Yes, I have reviewed those rules. And am still confused about the Savage F-class (open) butt design with its flat bottom, looks like it is ready to drop right down onto bench surface. As I read the rule, no contact with hard surface for butt is permitted. "A front rest may be employed for...

I have a Savage 12 LRPV, LH port, and like it very much, but it is in .204 Ruger, and I am not sure how far out that is good for if there is any wind. I have noticed drift at just 100 yards when it is gusty. I have looked at the Savage website, and am curious about that F-Class stock, why the...

Local shop has a couple of Remington 700's, a VLS and VSSF, both in 22-250. Is this an appropriate F-class calibre? Get blown around at longer distances? (PS- does anyone else find all the variety of different Remington 700 models confusing?) They also have a Savage 12-LRPV in .223 Rem., but...
