Great shooting Bruce.

Do other popular air rifles use this type of barrel set up?

Hard to wrap your head around how that could possibly be consistent day in day out.

Jan,

I'm so happy you have taken the plunge. I've been considering doing the same but now I will anxiously await your results.

Here is hoping air rifles can cut the mustard at 50 yards.

Kirk,

Thanks for posting the pics. Pretty special when a competition rifle is still around and kicking after 16 years.

It is even more special to have a son that still wants to shoot with Dad...

As Tim said I don't think anyone can give you a definitive answer.

Many have claimed that the shape of the lands such as the shilen rachet buck the wind better.

These types of rifling are...

I have posted this before but I thought it should be put in this thread because it has such an effect on this topic.

I have tried about everything over the years, but I just use Hoppes. It seems to work as well as anything if you use it regularly.

I also use a bronze brush and a Remington product called 40X bore...

I came across this thread on another site and I thought it so interesting I wanted give it wider coverage so I copied it here.

When I first saw this pic it took my breath away.

If anyone can bring this barrel back it will be Bill Calfee.

Here's hoping!

oldman,

Glad to hear you got your trigger set to your satisfaction. As I look out at the 16 inches of snow on the ground it will be awhile before I'll be shooting outside again.

You mentioned...

Pedro,

I'm not sure. I know there was a lot of talk about the international rules being changed to allow 8.5 lbs rifles, and 12 power scopes.

Do you know if these changes were implemented?

Pedro,

"I know that not so many of you shoot with front and rear rests, but for us in Europe, where a single piece is not allowed"

Nearly all competitive RFBR "sporter" shooting done in the...

Let me hitchhike off what Tim said.

Since we don't know what you hope to accomplish with the rifle it is kinda hard to tell you the cost.

With that said since this is a benchrest site I'm going...

Bruce,

Thank you so much for this post. It isn't often we see a shooter of your caliber provide this kind of insight into how you shoot.

Would you please copy your post and add it to the sticky...

I know you don't want to hear this but as good as those old BSA MK111 are they can't cut the mustard today. Too many better rifles available these days.

I don't know of anyone that could get that...

Jerry,

I was informed by Bill that he never jeweled TDX. He jeweled another rifle for me called King Kong.

King Kong was a test bed for big hit ignition.

The older I get the more forgetful...

oldman,

I feel compelled to tell you that the roller rest and your heavy trigger aren't a good match. Add to that shooting free recoil and you have a no win situation.

I've seen others use...

There are no dumb questions, just dumb answers. Perhaps, I'm about to give one now.

People are different and what makes them comfortable is different. I believe you have to be stable and...

Yep,

It was the same action. Bill must have polished the jewelling away.

TKH

Bill you are exactly right. There should not be anyone coaching anyone during the match.
Although I have seen shooters forget to shoot a target and were getting up when someone behind them told...

Fred you make a good point.

I'm not so sure that would be a bad thing.

I can't be the only person tired of the great ammo chase.

TKH

Jan,

Please post your progress with the FX Impact. I have also heard RTI has a couple of Air Rifles that may

have what it takes to shoot 50 yards Benchrest. I'm sure there are many that would...

Scotty Whystell will host a double IR 50 UL match/tournament at Piney Hill Saturday 12 Dec. 2020.

This Tournament is in honor of Larry Harrison ("The Legend") who left the range earlier this...

Coaching someone, anyone, to shoot rimfire benchrest (RFBR) is a difficult thing to do. Just giving advice on how to approach a target is difficult.

Everyone prone to shoot rimfire RFBR already...

Sorry to hear high end factory air rifles aren't going to be contenders in 50 yard unlimited benchrest, but I'm not surprised.

We know high end factory rimfires aren't able to successfully compete...
