Today's "Sporter" class rifles have about as much in common with a true sporting rifle as a NASCAR "Stock" car has with it's production brethren (the ones before the car of the future came on board that is). Just my $0.02. RG

I had planned on attending my first IR50/50 match (first competition actually) but could not get up there on Saturday. It sounds like everyone had a great time. I might be able to make the WI state tournie this year and hope to make all the Gopher matches next year. Congrat's to all who...

http://www.bench-talk.com/oldboard/6932.html http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek039.html The pictures in the top article are what the current rests look like. I have not used the hart or Sinclair rests so I will leave the comparisons to the others here. I have heard the windage top on the Sinclair...

With all the .......... "lively" discussions lately, I thought it would be a good idea to reflect on why we are all here. Please play the slideshow and see if it doesn't make you feel better. It did for me. http://rba.benchrest.net/album/photo.htm RG

I believe Steve Boelter just got some in from Federal and will be testing it shortly. RG

Please give my condolences to the family. They are in our prayers. God Bless, RG

Can someone give me recommendation as to what Protektor rear bag to get. I will be shooting a stock Cooper Custom Classic 57-M in IR50/50 this year and have everything lined up except a rear bag. I've decided on the model 13 (rabbit ear) but want to know if the heavy bottom (13A) or the heavy...

If I get bored enough I might just sort the other 3 bricks as well. This will give me many more data points and increase the sample size of the outliers. As Concho Bill suggested, I will group the low and high outliers together and see how they shoot. I will then compare that with those that...

That's exactly what I intend on doing..........once it warms up enough :D. Cheers RG

Sorted Some Master-M Last Weekend Weight sorted some Lapua Master-M (X-Lot) this last weekend and here is what I found: 1000 rounds sorted ≈ 20 rounds between 51.65-51.85 grains ≈ 400 rounds 51.6 grains +/- 0.05 grains ≈ 560 rounds 51.5 grains +/- 0.05 grains ≈ 20 rounds between 51.25-51.45...

I here ya! Not bad up here today though (around 30°). Some shrimp and crawdads sound REAL good to!

Why not contact the ranges directly. I understand this could be somewhat bothersome if you will be shooting at 20 different ranges but it beats waiting around for the cows to come home. I will be shooting IR50/50 for the first time this year. I wanted to start making plans and saw the...

Wishing you a quick recovery Bill. Our prayers are with you, Inez and the rest of the family. RG

I wish you a speedy recovery Hoke and all my best to Carolyn and the rest of your family. RG

Thanks gentlemen. I thought you could but never saw mention of it in the rules. Thanks again, RG

Those pictures do not do that stock justice. I've seen it and it is much better looking in person. Probably the flash/lighting. It is also VERY professional looking. This kid (can I call him Kid? - I'm in my 40's) did a phenominal job on that stock. I could not imagine what he could do with...

Can you use spotting scopes in IR50/50 competition? I plan on shooting the Sporter class this summer and was wondering if the 6.5X scope setting will be enough to see exactly where I'm hitting on the target. Thanks, RG

Charles Scott is selling what's left of the 2007 Midas-M for around $10.50 a box. I bought some in October and it shoots very well. It was procuced on Lapua's new "X" machine. Champions Choice is selling Midas-M for $11.00 a box (maybe cheaper by the case). This is also 2007 ammunition but...
