Geoff, I'm not a gunsmith. So, I don't have customers. I'm a hobbyist that builds RFBR rifles for my own amusement. I end up building two or three rifles a year. These rifles are built with the very best components. Sometimes I use these builds to test different theories. For the last four...

Geoff, Have you had the opportunity to handle one of the SPEC rifles? Have you been able to shoot one? If the answer is no, then it will be hard for you to understand what I'm about to tell you. The difference is in the fit, finish, and attention to detail put into the overall rifle. As you...

PSPEC 6 Waltzing Matilda: I just read on Calfee's site the following: The torch has also been passed Down Under with PSPEC 6 Waltzing Matilda now in the very capable hands of Scott Kiddle. Scotty is a current Team Oz shooter and a good friend of mine, i wish him well on his journey with this...

Phil, I like your positive attitude and outlook. Hopefully, things will not change or maybe change for the better. But once decision making is moved outside our country history shows no one loves us like we love ourselves. TKH

I don't want to start posting news articles on the forum. This isn't the place for it. But I think we all have an interest in this news. TKH

Sam just check the numbers. They speak for themself. Don’t just check the traditional sanctioned unlimited matches. Things are changing and moving into new directions. We here in Pa. have had more matches and better attendance this year than we have had in the past 5 or more years. Look at all...

I wouldn’t worry too much about RFBR dying anytime soon. We have more matches and more shooters than ever. TKH

Glynn, Art won the 1948 Olympics shooting a Remington 37. There is a video on YouTube showing the actual rifle Art shot. Bill Calfee posted that video on his website. www.wwaccuracy.com/index.php?threads/why-is-tony-harper-the-greatest-of-all-time-rfbr-shooter-g-o-a-t.7259/#post-36206 Sorry...

I was on the testing team for the development of UM1. Federal would send me test lots nearly every week. I would shoot them at night under lights against Eley Tenex and Eley Benchrest gold. I was really impressed with how it performed. The cases were perfect. The rim thickness was .042 on the...

While we have brought up a very old thread about ammo. I want to add my 2 cents. I doubt there are many that remember the very best rimfire ammo ever made but just so you know the Russian Olimp-R was the real deal. It was as close to magic as any ammo I've ever seen. Never was commercially...

The key to shooting the IR 50/50 target with a Sporter is the black thick lines around the target. Those can be seen with the 6.5 X scope. If you have a dot use it and those thick lines just like shooting a peep sight. The ARA target doesn’t have any thick lines which makes it much harder to see...

Stuart, I agree with you. Shooting the sporter is the most rewarding shooting that I do. I wish I knew how to get more shooters interested. At one time guys/gals got into shooting sports because of the challenge. But now it seems the challenge isn't the draw. What I hear most often is "it is...

Would that be the outer edge of one shot to the outer edge of a second shot? Center to center would be a much smaller distance. It would be the diameter of the bullet difference. TKH

Take a look at this new product from Anschutz. It represents out of the box thinking. Would really like to hear everyone's thoughts on this new design. https://www.anschuetz-sport.com/en/produkte/22max/22max/?fbclid=IwAR3zCujZewav9K9dgBQs4UVMRM0Fdrg6k-SsuuFldxRcKWzLviyCodDSDRM TKH

Larry, As Tim said there have been several attempts to migrate RFBR to Air Rifle BR. Larry Brown the creator of BR 50 which is where ARA came from tried to integrate centerfire, rimfire, and air rifles into his BR 50 game. The idea was centerfire shot at 100 yards, rimfire at 50 yards and air...

Tim, Thanks for adding your remarks. The major components we use have on average improved across the board. All of our major barrel makers have proven they can produce high quality winning barrels. Many of these barrel makers are offering hand lapped barrels, at least one is offering...

Timo, Not to take anything away from PRS. It is a very challenging sport, but it is quite different from RFBR. One could say PRS requires great accuracy whereas RFBR requires great precision. Many of the guys and gals that shoot RFBR could not handle the physical requirements of PRS. Nor can...

I'll start by answering your first question. Lapua has been the only game in town since about 2014. If you recall Eley Tenex and Eley Benchrest Gold were the go-to ammo for a long time after the Lapua factory in Finland blew up. There have been some good to great lot numbers by Eley, but they...

Kent you have asked a very good question. When I have time, I'll give you my thoughts on the subject. Para phrasing the words of a great American. It's a damn shame what RFBR has come to, for people like me, and people like you. More later. TKH

Thanks George. TKH
