Sad news. RIP.

Sad news, thanks for posting this.

Greg, a couple local shooters bought several used Trophys from a deceased shooters estate. A couple bolt handles have fallen off, and I haven't seen one rifle perform well. They certainly look like a Hall clone, but looks don't make it shoot.

That explains it, don't do fake book.

I have not seen this, where?

Steve, I have not heard this. Sad news.

Sorry to hear this.

I thought Ron Hoehn was doing that on Sightrons at one time.

I don't think there is any design approved or disapproved. Some older ranges still have wooden benches/legs. If benches are not stable, shooters would probably not show up, or spend their day b!tching about them.

Graf's has N130 in stock as we type..... So does Precision Reloading

Hal Drake died March 22, 2023 from his on-going struggle with kidney disease. He was a serious competitor, he will be missed.

In my opinion, there aint a better benchrest scope available if you can work with the weight, which usually isn't a problem for a HV score gun.

I bought Bore Tech rods when they came out, and after a short time the coating came off. I called them, they would not replace them. Never again. I have a pair of coated Dewey's that are close to 30 years old and the coating is still there.

I shot a 6.5/06AI in long range for a while, and I used 30/06 brass. Necked them down then ran them in the 6.5/06AI sizer until I had a snug bolt close. Then fire formed.

I'll have to agree with GeneT, the rebar I have turned was the crap-y-est steel I've ever seen. Maybe in the NW they make it better.
