Thanks for the pics. I get the weight thing and the split ring for clamping but I am not sure about the rubber? Is it for a better grip of the tuner or is it supposed to dampen? Just wondering out loud because Gene has forgotten more about accuracy shooting than I will ever know. I tend to...

Let me start by thanking everyone who showed up to shoot our Hunter/VFS match this Sunday Aug 21st. We had a good time and some good food. Thanks to our club match volunteers for helping out with the targets. A big thanks go out to Dick Cunningham for grilling up sausage wraps with all the...

Congrats to all the winners.....Question for Jackie Jackie, How did Jerry's electronic wind flags do in that windy condition? I know he and Tommy shot well in New Braunfels in some horrible wind conditions. Just wondering what your thoughts are now you have seen them yourself. Kris

No problem Sam Glad I could help....too bad I had that weak spring. I plan to take the rifle out this weekend and see if the spacer helps. It was good to see you Duke's and tell Jason he did a great job pointing that ugly orange gun;) He is going to be one tough competitor. Kris

Last round of pics And a special thanks to Virgil for calling a great match. The Bluebonnet would not have run as smooth as it did without Virgil keeping everyone on their toes. Great Job!!! In addition we had a lot of help from the trenches....the boy scouts did a great job running targets...

More Pics Here are a few pics from the Bluebonnet this weekend. More to come. Kris Whitman

Bluebonnet group picture What a good looking bunch.:cool:

Saturday was breezy but fairly mild for Dietzville. It did get hot and the conditions got worse for the afternoon. We shot 100 yards LV and SP on Saturday. Sunday (today) was windy and gusty....did I say windy....I mean WIIIIINNNNDDDDDYYYYYY with tons of push behind it. What a way to shoot...

We can cut a 18 thread if the half nuts stay closed...thanks Ian. We used just number one on the thread dial when testing the cuts at 18 TPI - thanks for the suggestion Jerry. I am assuming either the diagram is incorrect for the change gears for a 18 TPI or we have the incorrect gear on the...

I have a friend that just purchased the same G0709 Grizzly lathe. I find the machine a great value for the money. We are having the exact same issue threading. If you set the machine up using the gears on the chart and thread at 16 TPI where you can use 1-8 on the thread dial it works great...

That is a good looking machine Jonathan. I can see chips flying already. Let me know when the level needs to come for a visit....I might even bring old Arnold Jewell. He is an expert at supervising people working;) Kris

Now that hurt Joe..... I would never mess up the paint on a new lathe......but I would drool :) Have fun jonathan....and let the education begin. Remember chambering is a very sensitive and interesting topic on benchrest central....five gunsmiths will have five different methods. Just don't...

Any time you shoot multiple 0's and 1's you are living right....much less in Midland Texas!!! To accomplish what you did in the conditions you had to shoot in...that is just unbelievable. You showed us your true colors with that performance.....record or not!! Awesome job Jackie..... Kris...

The short version is no they are not the same. With a little modification you can get the bottom metal from a detachable magazine to fit but you have to also cut the sides of the stock to allow for the magazine release. The bigger issue is with the action itself. A standard ADL/BDL action is...

I agree with Butch... If you are not going with a Jewell then a Shilen is next (IMO).....

New Braunfels hosted our first registered VFS score match today. We had 19 shooters show up and face the Dietzville wind and mirage. It started out slightly overcast with mild winds working up to sunny, hot, and enough mirage to drown the rings right off the targets. In the late afternoon our...

Here is how it went down. Saturday LV100 / SP100 and Sunday SP200 / LV200. Saturday was very windy and switchy. Sunday morning was very calm with the typical Dietz wind picking up after lunch. Arnold Jewell always comments his name never shows up on the postings....well here he is... :D...

stock taper I have a benchrest stock that is also tapered on the forend. It drove me so crazy I restocked the rifle. It was a bruno/mcmillan. Otherwise I liked the stock but could not live with the taper. Pushing the stock up after a shot it would "grab" in the front bag. I had to use a...
