The International Portuguese RFBR open match was held this weekend. Here are the results. Pedro shot a 1500 111Xs. That is getting it done. Congrats again on yet another outstanding performance. TKH

Frankr, You are not wrong for wanting rifles to look better, be easier to work on, or function better. We all want that. This being a RFBR site the first thing that most ask is will this or any change make the rifle more competitive. Our experience with 7.5 lb. IR 50/50 sporters tells us we...

I hate to show my ignorance but what advantage does this bottom metal provide? I thought maybe it was needed to stablize the rifle while shooting from random rest. But now seeing it I don’t see how it would help. I understand not having the clip sticking out below the stock. What is the purpose...

Frankr, I think the solid bottom action was more for centerfire because it added stiffness to the action. Don't think it make much of a difference to rimfire. I know the Flash Ebert Turbo sporters shoot just as well as the solid bottom models and so did the 10Xs. As for feeding from the clip...

I do recall that selling point. Using .22s as trainers for centerfires. But I don't know if many shooters are actually doing that. I would think when you pulled the trigger of the centerfire all of your motor skills learned with the .22 would go right out the window. On the other hand I recall...

What is it about the oversized mags that is special? TKH

I just saw Turbo is now offering the Turbo V 3 as repeaters. The previous Turbo repeater sporter actions were all two lug I believe. It has been a long time since they were available. Looks like they are back now updated and improved. Here is a video of one in action. Note not only is it...

I just saw a Calfee Spec Rifle for sale on Gun broker. You don't get many chances to buy one. Here is the link. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1051657593 TKH

Southfork Gun Club hosted their first ever IR 50/50 unlimited RFBR match 4/27/24. It was wet, cold and windy. Much like every other match we have had in Pa. this year so far. Surprisingly the scores were better than one would expect. The guys showing up for this match came to shoot. Seems...

When I get most of this info up I'll add some comments. I hope others will as well. History is very important. If you don't know where you have been you can't know where you are going. TKH

More info from the passed. TKH

I have a letter that was sent to me by Mike Poole and I would like to share it with everyone. The letter may take a little explanation. The tuner that Hoke is talking about was the Hoehn 4000+ tuner. This tuner was the first widely available tuner made for RFBR shooters. Up until it came out...

Mike Poole recently sent me some photos of some old info about IR 50/50 shooting in the old days. Some guys on these lists have passed on but they will be remembered. For those of us that have not, here is a trip down memory lane. We owe a lot to the guys on these lists. They led the way and...

Sure it is public info. The problem is I don’t know if or when these actions may come available. A lot of people are waiting. TKH

I brought this back up in hopes some of the owners would come on and tell of their experience with these rifles. I have only been able to shoot one of them and it shot great for me. It just had a feeling of quality you don’t get from just any rifle. Maybe someone will tell us more. TKH

Hunter, In some forums/threads if you gore someone's sacred cow even by accident, you will pay for it, so I'm gun shy when I make a long post that may do that. To test the waters or to demonstrate the point, I'm going to make a post here that may or may not do just that. If it does, please let...

If this post is not appropriate for this thread, please advise and I will delete it. My introduction to the extreme accuracy of the 6 PPC cartridge. Many years ago, I became interested in accurate rifles while stationed in Texas. I developed a friendship with a guy I worked with. He was a...
