By no means did I mean to insult or put down the Hall action. I have no experience with it nor do I have any reason to think that it can't make an excellent rifle. Earlier this year there was a decent amount of talk about the "flaws" of the Hall action and why it wasn't used more often. I was at...

I remember talking to you at the Triple Crown about you harvesting some wood yourself. It's just as beautiful as you said!

Oh wow! I've always had my eye out for a Suhl for Silhouette. I know they are great shooters even with factory barrels and come with a fantastic trigger. I've just never seen a deal like that! I would have snatched it up right then. In the mean time, I'm shooting my 541-T sporter in hunter and...

I didn't really mean to imply that anyone should think poorly of their Halls. I've just seen some general discontent with that particular action and the equipment lists seem to reflect it. I personally would be tickled pink with one.

Ah but "shooting" is a relative level of success! Now whether the wide claim of Halls not shooting has merit, I cannot say, but what I can say is I guarantee you 100% of the BR actions, Halls included, can be made to outshoot my off hand shooting. I'm just waiting on someone to really think...

A Hall action with its faster lock time seems like a very ideal Silhouette gun.

I've had no issues.

I've personally never liked the aesthetics of seeing a barrel channel large enough to encompass two barrels like I see on many benchrest rifles. I always chalked it up to them wanting absolute clearance no matter what barrel they swap to and that made plenty sense to me. I suppose it could be...

Why is that? Heat?

If you take into consideration that there is shrinkage in the material when drying, thicker applications will likely experience a larger degree of shrinkage impacting the bedding fit. I would think the thinnest, functional layer would be best.

I'll be limping from the whipping I took in Virginia!

I figured that was you. Hate I missed yall at the May match.

Where do you shoot?

You were one of the ones I wanted to make sure I had an opportunity to speak to at the match. I'll just plan on it at the next one. :cool:

I think it depends on your perspective. The first time I ever saw and shot the IR5050 target was at the Triple Crown in the first relay of Sunday. It's a feel good target if you are looking for a target that is "easy" to get a perfect or near perfect composite score (Xs not relevant here) of...

I wish they were. I think they would, at minimum, make an excellent silhouette rifle.

If and when I rebarrel, that's absolutely the direction I will go. When I bought this 40X, it was barreled this way. I had the larger area of the barrel bedded and it does shoot very well right now, but it's always been in the back of my mind that the majority of rimfire BR rifles I've seen do...

What about a barrel with a really large diameter right in front of the action like on a 40X? Would you bed that or leave it floating as well?

Took me a bit to find it, but I think this is the thread. Thanks for the heads up! http://benchrest.com/showthread.php?89328-Common-Benchrest-Faults-and-Fixes
