Hovis that is a very interesting bit of information......does Tom have an email address I can contact him by? I have a Kelbly Klub that I got Kelbly's to finish and paint for me, they even bedded it for a Panda and the stock fitted my action like a glove so a wee bit of prep work and glue the...

+1 I have had one of the Sinclair premium neck turning tools (NT4000) for a while and I do like it, it's easy to adjust, although not as fine in the adjustment as the Pumpkin or Stiller. It is also a good size which makes it easy to hold onto and because of the mass soaks up a bit of heat. I...

While the NBRSA magazine maybe an improvement over the previous magazine as far as I know it's only available to NBRSA members and not all Benchrest shooters are NBRSA members. Precision Shooting magazine was available to anybody who wished to subscribe and so is Target Shooter, and neither of...

Glenn that happens here in New Zealand also.......I hate shooting when the flags aren't showing anything, you're just about guaranteed a big group......Ian

Lee, in Aussie they shoot a Fly competition with rimfire, they use the 500m fly target and shoot it at 200yds with rimfire rifles. From what I've been told the scores are similar to the 500m centrefire scores. You might need a 20moa rail for your rimfire rifle. I can remember when we used to...

I like the idea of one of those skyhook cranes to change the chuck on a D1-6, you say it mounts on the toolpost, have you got any pictures of this setup. There are a few things I like about the Hardinge HLV for doing standard BR barrels, the retracting topslide and the dog clutch on the...

I sold one of those a few years ago, it used to belong to a NZ shooter that gave up shooting BR and sold everything off. I don't see them come up for sale very often but have seen a couple of similar ideas, here goes a few links, and I'm pretty sure a few could quite easily make a retracting...

Lee I have 3 lathes that are D1-6, one of the ones at work I change the chuck on quite often..........must say that the 12" 4 jaw and 10" 6 jaw are pretty heavy but still manageable. Does anyone use a Hardinge HLV for chambering barrels? Ian

When threading imperial threads with a metric lathe you can't disengage the 1/2 nuts. My lathe is metric and 3 phase, so a flick of the lever on the Ifanger threading tool holder and flip the carriage switch to reverse, reverse to the start of the thread and flip the lever on the Ifanger holder...

+1 listen to Rod, a true Benchrest rifle even one built on a sleeved Remington is a good option, but one built on a custom action always has a better resale value. The advice of a solid front rest and rear bag is priceless as without these it is a lot harder to achieve the accuracy you are...

Good shooting Bart, just looking down the results and it looks like 60th place in HV100 was still a sub 0.300 agg, a 0.2956, and more than 30 shooters managed a sub 0.300 HV grand agg.......WOW......I shot the NSW State Champs last weekend and only 14 shooters managed a sub 0.300 agg in HV 100...

Would be a great database to tell criminals where they can get guns........Ian

John there is one answer to that........get the wife and family involved. My wife travelled to a lot of Benchrest matches with me not only in New Zealand but Australia and a few other places as well. Now I'm lucky she has taken up shooting as well:D:D.......Ian

Charles can you please explain what you mean by the above statement? You infer that the scope on a rail gun doesn't always point where the barrel points.......why not?.......Ian

Rob check your pm's ......Ian

Tom I have to agree with Bill........to me the 3 photo's you entered last year are so much better than the first 10 photo's you posted in this thread and I would rather have Dan's comments and to know why so I can improve.........and I am assuming that since you enter photo competitions you do...

Tom where was this photo taken? Ian

Benchrest is about unequivocal proof of the five/ten shot group.........which is why we have the moving backer system. How many groups on target look like one hole and only show 1, 2 or maybe 3 bullet marks. If we didn't have the moving backer would our groups mean any more than the reports of...

Phill I can't answer your other question but sure hope someone can answer the bit I highlighted in your post...........why are stocks, actions, barrels, bullets, Farley rests etc so hard to come by if the number of Benchrest shooters is declining??.......Ian

Are Farley's still making the coax front rest, I've emailed them several times over the last 3 months and have not received a reply. I'd like to buy a right hand one for my wife and I can only think of a couple of reasons Farley's wouldn't want to sell one and that is either they aren't making...
