Jerry, It will not make 10.5 lbs. in that stock. It may just barely make 13.5 lbs. Those Rotex stocks are heavy especially the high model. The action was made well after March 2023. It is the latest iteration of the Turbo V-1. It has the crescent shaped firing pin. It is such a pleasure to...

Not a dumb question. In most events there is an overall winner for a Match or tournament. But in IR 50/50 at State matches we have a Yards State Champion and a Meters State Champion. But at the Nationals we have what is called a 6-gun Champion. This adds all six targets together and the person...

Win it all at Fairchance??? Not likely, but wow if it actually happened. I have said it before "ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN AT A RIMFIRE MATCH" Show up and shoot you never know it could be you! TKH

Bruce, that is exactly what he thinks. Told me straight up he hasn’t heard any complaints about anything other than one or two about the HoF points. TKH

As recently as this week I have been assured by a Jason that HOF points will be brought up to date and stay that way. Yes I know, we have been waiting since 2022 but hey some things take a little longer. He also said the single complaint he currently has is with the HOF points so that is the...

My first post covered what you need to know so now I'm going to add some things you may want to know. The classes: I realize this is old hat for many readers but perhaps there are some that do not know about IR 50/50 classes. The IR 50/50 Sporter is the most evolved RFBR rifle we shoot today...

They are actually thermos bottles. Double lined and all. Found them on an internet site. TKH

Jerry, I think that Hall sporter was built for Paul Wilmouth. He was the match director in WV that used to have the pig roast shoots. TKH

You can just show up and shoot. But it would be nice to know how many are coming for planning purposes but no one will be turned away.

The IR 50/50 Nationals will be held at the Fairchance Gun Club in Pa. Fairchance Gun Club is located in Smithfield , Pa. The Nationals this year will consist of 4 Primary Classes. Sporter, #-Gun, Factory, and Unlimited. Basically, if you have a rimfire rifle you can come and compete in at...

The Bill Calfee I knew (part 7) Bill wrote many articles for Precision Shooting Magazine. In those articles he stated his thoughts on what it took to build RFBR rifles. He also used the magazine to showcase his Remington XP conversions, his pistols. Most of the readership of the magazine were...

The Bill Calfee I knew (part 6) Bill lived alone for a great portion of his life and that caused him to become super focused on things that interested him. He had many interests. He loved classical music, drawing, painting, but his primary interest was Rimfire Benchrest rifles and pistols. He...

The Bill Calfee I knew (part 5) I had the pleasure of visiting Bill and watching him work in his shop. I will admit it was quite an experience. Looking at his old machines I could not believe he could turn out work like he did using them. But after watching him for a while I soon learned how...

The Bill Calfee I knew (part4) When I finally got Bill to build Tack Driver I was over the moon. It shot like a house on fire. Eley was in its heyday of producing quality ammo and matches were scheduled everywhere. I would just pick a place and go shoot a match nearly every weekend. But...

Bill Calfee built many more rifles and pistols than shown here. He once told me he had built twice as many SAP action guns as he did PAS action guns. These pics will bring back memories for many. When we lost Bill we lost a lot. I'll get back to my story in Part 4. If you are still reading, I...
