Bruce: A scoring nightmare? Hardly. To the naked eye the difference between a 6 and a 10 is fairly obvious once you know how to look at them. Dropping a plug in is no harder than any other target being scored. If you can score an IR target you can score an IR target for the new game. For...

FWIW. I took my yards targets and scored them the "new" way. Results were; 247-14x scores 86-14x, 250-17x scores 90-17x ( I had a 10 on bull 17) and 249-17x scores 90-17x. My Friday night card was 98-18x and when traditionally scored is 250-18x. Same target, same technique, same plug...

Gordon: I'm in a similar boat to Ed. I shoot IR50 UL at Piney Hill for two reasons; I'm a dues paying member and it is only a 3.5 hour trip one way on a good day. That is my closest to me IR50 venue. Kettlefoot, home of IR50 is a not very pleasant 8 hour drive one way. I'll stay home rather...

Gordon: ARA shooters will shoot IR50 unlimited if it is available to them. Not all, but many. Vice versa not so much unfortunately with exceptions. I'll use Piney Hill as an example. As most know PH is the major indoor !R50 venue. Winter time IR50 is well attended. I host ARA matches at...

Hozzie: You talk about changing scoring, but you don't give specifics. What do you think needs changing, please? Bigger/smaller plug? 275 scoring? The process ie protests? I'm at a loss to understand your position. Thanks. bob ps for the record I stopped shooting 3 gun some years ago...

Greg: Build quality on either will not be an issue. Both are well made and in wide use. They are of different designs and only you can decide which you prefer. That can only be done by shooting off both so you have some facts in front of you. It will be a rare ARA match when both are not...

Let me try this again. The OP asked; "they also are on some rifles using a tuner on the barrel.how does this help ? what would be the barrel make that is the choice of the shooters and why is this so?" Not really a "tuner" but more accurately a muzzle device or MD. Its one and only job is to...

Most likely the best bottle cap gunsmith currently alive is Jim Peightal. He knows more about bottle cap winning rifles than any one I know. A chat with Jim will get you all the information you need even if you were to choose someone else to build your rifle. PM me if you want his telephone...

It sure has been quiet around here. I see we are doing both yards and meters Saturday 6-17. I just made a hotel reservation. Am I the only one going? Please someone confirm it is happening. bob

I have a pair of Comp 15-55x, both with a small dot. Superb scope for bench rest. I leave them set at 50X. Never an issue. indoor or out. One is one of the initial prototype(show and tell) scopes and the other was purchased upon general release to the public. bob

Pete: Do whatever you wish. That is why we have the UL classes. If it helps you win more often then brag to us about it. bob

Roger used to make them. I have one in my tuner box. bob

John: Not really. When I posted you were into April 1 down under. bob

I at one time was quite upset with near "real time" scoring being posted. Anyone could look and see I was at a match and surmise that my wife was home alone. I got over it many years ago as it is so beyond my control that to worry about it is a waste of time. Posting under ones' real name is...

If it has a 5071 trigger (or a modified 5018) raise the price by several hundred dollars. Anschutz decided they would rather sell rifles than triggers so all the older wing safety actions are stuck on the existing trigger. Parts to convert the 5018 for use in older actions are now unobtanium...

BTT for one last time this indoor season. bob

Mike: This morning I "discovered" where 2 3200's are available for sale from an estate. Not being advertised. PM me and I'll give you a telephone number to call. bob

You might want to also consider the Lyman Super Target Spot re STS. Same period scope with external adjustments. Similar price range as the 3200.....not inexpensive. bob
