Sounds good! That is a dramatic improvement, and I have no question some of that improvement was your new setup. Glad to see another having fun shooting RFBR! Scott

Congrats on your 100yd and combined wins Doc! Scott

piper, the best place to find out about a sanctioning bodies rules are on the website of the sanctioning body. Not on a forum. Between Larry (Rimfireshooter) and myself, you got lucky with good information because we are both experienced in the RFBR games. That's not always the case though when...

In the post above (#4) is the place to go to for IR50/50 rules. To further the conversation, IR Factory and ARA Factory are miles apart. You can really use true factory rifles in IR without having to navigate a bunch of rules. Rifles that were built from the factory to do some kind of...

As Tim posted above, they were never dark, black, or shiny. If you are used to German made ammo, SK, Lapua, RWS, you will see darker shiny bullets. Most likely it's the lube. Eley uses beeswax/tallow for lube and the above-mentioned brands use petroleum distillate which darkens the bullet and...

Well, that's a good low budget start and a better option than the rest you were going to borrow. Pretty much exactly what I started with many years ago. It's difficult to drop a large investment in equipment on something new when trying to get one's feet wet. There are several threads on RFC...

I would strongly suggest upgrading your setup. I looked up the rest you mentioned and it's not much better than shooting off a front sandbag, but it would be a start. With the number of shooters you mention and most of them shooting adjustable front rests, it would be hard to believe they are...

For sure! Scott

Thanks Doc, appreciate the shout out! :) Scott

Unfortunately, I doubt you will find a scope in current production that 'clicks all the boxes'. Sporter 'stuff' in general has become difficult to obtain lately, but proper scopes have been cast into the used market for quite some time now. Scott

Repairing a factory stock rifle that does not function properly is totally different than modifying a rifle for better performance in competition. I referred you to the sanctioning body already. You said you have emailed them and they didn't answer you back. I would try the sanctioning body...

If you are 'strowbridge' on Rimfire Accuracy and talking about ARA, your question has already been answered. If another sanctioning body, then go to their website and read their rules. For as long as I have been shooting sanctioned you would not believe how many questions I have seen just like...

Hey Cecil, thanks for posting these results. I was at the club Sunday to pick up my buggy and trailer and wondered if you would post results, as you weren't there. Very happy you did post, and also happy for Merv when I saw his 200yd victory! First time I have seen the inner workings of a...

Thank you gentalmen! I appreciated your comments and your support of both of the clubs mentioned above. Without participating competitors such as yourselves, I wouldn't have the opportunity to serve either club. Again, sincere thanks for the kind words! Scott

Another windy day with switches on the second match. Scores reflect conditions as seen below. Our next matches will be August 2nd and first match will be a Club Tournament (double points). Hope to see you at the range! Scott
