F Class F Class is shot from a rest or a bipod, not with a sling: "What is F-Class competition? Well, it is sort of a cross between Palma-style shooting and conventional benchrest. You shoot from the ground, like Palma, but you use a high-power scope, front rest (or bipod) and rear bag, like...

Then, I do not understand this: The Lefty AR Upper from Keystone Accuracy by German Salazar, RiflemansJournal.com "This upper would be a good choice for many right-handed shooters using the AR for F-Class as it allows loading with the left hand while the right hand remains on the pistol grip...

On Another website where I am active, I described the technique and advantages of shooting from the "wrong side". Another member challenged me to name a single right handed competition shooter who shoots a left handed rifle in BR competition. As some of you know, I am not an experienced...

I must confess, the reason for every component of my left handed BAT action rifle is simply that the builder(Russ Haydon) used BAT actions and recommended every other component, except the Kelbly HCFB stock, which was my choice. The choice to have it built for 222 Remington was a collaborative...

Absolutely! When I had Russ build my short range BR rifle, we went with a BAT SB action, Krieger barrel, Jewell trigger and a Kelby FBHC stock. Add a Weaver T-36, a Protektor rear bag, a SEB NEO front rest, a Haydon arbor press, Wilson hand dies Then add all of the other brass care and...

No rimfire ammunition will ever be made to the tolerances that a centerfire hand loader can get. There is also no option to change bullet depth or powder charge to account for humidity, temperature and barometric pressure, like a centerfire hand loader can do at the range. I have a standard...

That would not be a good idea unless I want to blow up my rifle. Many centerfire shooters still use cast bullets to great effect. My belief is that the manufacturers of rimfire ammunition have gone way overboard in pricing, especially the competition quality stuff. I still have quite a bit of...

That is probably why I have two varmint rifles, one in 204 Ruger and the other in 222 Remington and no rifle in 6 PPC. When Russ Haydon built my BAT action 222 he assured me the Krieger barrel, with that cartridge would give me tens of thousands of rounds, rather than hundreds or merely...

As it was explained to me, "Centerfire shooters start with the finest rifle they can afford and then tailor the ammunition to the rifle. Rimfire shooters also start with the finest rifle they can afford. Then they buy the best ammunition they can afford and finally, tailor the rifle to the...

I see. What you are referring to is having the ogive (the place on the bullet where it first reaches full diameter) jammed against the lands hard enough to mark (engrave) the soft brass. Yes, that is what I meant. With a hard jacket, there is no engraving but the principle is the same. I...

Engraving? While, as a reloader of centerfire ammunition, I am quite familiar with such concepts as jamming the bullet against the lands as opposed to allowing various amounts of 'jump' to the lands, when pressing bullets into the brass. My only experience with rimfire rifles has been with...

Find Experienced BR Shooters Near You as Mentors Before going out and spending any of your hard earned cash, on equipment, find a local club with experienced BR shooters. It will save a lot of dead ends and wasted cash. You need to learn about the different classes and styles of BR shooting...

100ths of Inches Can Mean A Lot The answer is simple really. With tenths and even hundredths of inches mattering very much to me, I re-set my parallax every time I shoot a target for score or group. I also pull out my torque wrench before sighting in, to make sure my scope rings are properly...

My Mistake! Oops! I assumed the scope was a fixed 15X with a 55mm objective. If I could afford to buy Nightforce scopes, I would probably be more familiar with the different models. If I cannot afford, I don't look too close, it just depresses me. If I could afford that scope, I would be...

You just supported one of the points I have been arguing for the past several years. That is, you see better through high quality glass at lower magnification than through lesser glass at higher magnification. One of the most important purchases a shooter makes is the scope. Too many shooters...

222 Rem Held the 100 Yard 5-Shot Record For 40 Years. 6PPC Did Not Beat It One more thing: 1. The world record 5-shot record (.009") was set back in 1973 by Mac McMillan shooting one of his custom built rifles in 222 Remington. 2. That record stood for 40 years. 3. No one has ever been...

Nice looking rifle and nice looking groups. Do you have measurements of those groups? It can be a lot of fun shooting the "obsolete" cartridges, though I do not see 222 Rem. as obsolete. Being cash poor, I had to sell my Martini Cadet in 218 Bee a few years ago to buy another rifle. Now I am...

It isn't just the gun. Shooters skills still matter. All of my shooting with my 222s has been at my home range 'Tacoma Rifle and Revolver', (about a mile from the now infamous Chambers Bay golf course). My neighbors would certainly call the police if I started shooting in my back yard. Both...

No CZ 527! Bad new. A call to CZ USA yesterday resulted in finding that the left handed 527 will not be made this year. Now I am looking at a Ruger 77 Hawkeye. In my most recent research, I have also found a left handed Tikka T-3 Hunter (at europtic.com) and a Savage Model 10/110 Predator...

Why yes, I am left handed. It has been quite an adventure searching for high quality left handed rifles that I could afford. Many fine rifles that I would like to own are made right handed only. I am a member of another site (Rimfire Central) that has a lefty sub-forum. In that sub-forum we...
