    Front rest top... hard vs soft

    Trust me in the time that Benchrest shooting has been around, there has been someone that has tried all sorts of things, but the thing is if it worked people would be doing it. The old tried and true sand bag is the best thing out there. Even with a sand bag you don't want it packed tight, if it...

    Not rich, can I benchrest with any respectability

    This sounds like a step in the right direction. As far as the savage goes, look at the Model 12 LVPV, or if you want something a bit lower cost try the Model 12 VLP. Both of these guns will work right out the box, and if you do you part should be able to shoot average .5 size 5 shoot 100 yard...

    Not rich, can I benchrest with any respectability

    Well to start what is your definition of Benchrest? This site is desiccated to competitive Benchrest shooting, dedicated to rifles that meet specific rules, not just shooting off of a bench at the local range. From the way your questions sound it sounds like your wondering if you can improve...

    Just currious Thoughts on a new class "Nostalgia Benchrest"

    Rick the problem lies with getting this out on a broad scale. The main club match I shoot at has had a factory modified class for over 30+ years. Here is the problem it has been at least 15 years since anyone has shot in it. It is not just at our local club, I have gone to other match's in the...

    Just currious Thoughts on a new class "Nostalgia Benchrest"

    Jackie, It is more of promoting a class that would involve a lower cost rifle, and giving an incentive, or reward for other shooters to compete, in return opening the window for newer shooters to get involved at a lower cost. My question is how many shooters do you get in your club match's that...

    Just currious Thoughts on a new class "Nostalgia Benchrest"

    No, the sanctioning body is what is needed to promote this type of thing. We have local club match's that offer a factory Modified, and a factory class, and no one shoots in them. (There is no reward in doing so.) So when we do attract a new shooter there is no one for them to compete with, and...

    Just currious Thoughts on a new class "Nostalgia Benchrest"

    I am just curious about something. The big debate is that Benchrest need to attract new shooters. Many offer up a "factory" class as a solution. The problem is there is many different opinions what could be allow, or consider factory. A few match's have attempted to have a factory class that...

    Questions RE: Painting Stock

    1. The only person that could answer price is the person doing the work. Breaking an action loose and regluing it can be easily done. 2. Again the only person that can answer price is the person doing the work. It would also depend on the amount of detail, type and color of paint, additional...

    Break-in new barrels with tungsten disulfide?

    The thing is if your using a barrel that is hand lapped, it don't require a lot of break in. Some that shoot coated bullets prefer to break the barrel in with bullets that are not coated, as they believe that the coatings friction reducing property's hinder break in. On the barrels I have had...

    Firing pin tip repair

    The problem is that the firing pin must be the correct shape, and fit the bolt head, to work properly. Attempting to do this without an optical comparator is a waste of time.

    Amazing group shot by Paul Whitt

    Paul is one of the best shooters I have had the chance to shoot with. You think this is good, try shooting a 600 yard match with him, he can and will make it look easy. Great job Paul!!!!!!

    Poor boy needs advice on Savage choices

    Being a new shooter, the best advise I can give is don't re-invent the wheel. Go to some match's in the area, and see what classes they offer, what the rules are, how many attendance in that class they have and so forth. Then tailor your equipment to that match. If they offer a factory class...
