I have both a Harrell and a Ezell. My opinion starting with the Harrell. It probably has more adjustment range and has the ability to add weight if needed. The disadvantages in my opinion are the groups hardly change even when changed several revolutions. Harder to tell when it's in tune. Both...

Dave you know all these people the police shoot were innocent and fine upstanding citizens of the community with nary a blemish or previous encounter with the law? The slain persons mother ends up on TV saying how their child has never done anything like this before and why did the officer need...

Not sure. Kevin Nevius sure likes them.

Reason for the question is I currently have my suhl getting a muller barrel chambered for Lapua installed. Was hoping to get more people who have tried this chamber. Evelio Mcdonald is doing the work. Hopefully this will work out. Plan on having it sent to Lapua for testing.

Thanks Keith.

With Lapua now having their own test facilities in the U.S and recent winners Joe Beshe and the Arkansas state winner shooting Lapua ammo do you think more rifles will start being chambered for Lapua? Does anybody know if Joe's rifle is chambered for Lapua or does it just happen to shoot it...

I am afraid as others have said it's getting time to move in a different direction. A shilen ratchet seems to be the way to go.

Thanks Mr. Pete. I have never been known for me patience. I was just wondering as Mr. Calfee seems to think that's the only way to go. Wanted someone else experience with them.

I have had a muller barrel back ordered for awhile. Was wondering for the people that have one or who have shot one,what is your opinion of them compared to shilen barrels. Any advantages or strictly up to the gunsmith performing the work. I have two shilens and was wondering.

No sir Mr. Eck. We did have a shooter Jason Lane shoot a 250 but not me. I will say the gun is capable as you were the gunsmith who built this turbo. There is no doubt that I am the weak link but I am getting better. Thanks for the excellent work on the rifle. It is a dream to own and shoot.

Eldolon, I have never been to a big time shoot. Mostly club shooting although we do have some excellent shooters. Recently had a 250 score on a usbr target. Never had the opportunity to watch big time shooters to see how they do it. That's why a lot of questions from my end.

I am using a Mwerks bore guide and a pro shot cleaning rod. Thanks for everyone's advice.

I personally don't run a copper brush on down the barrel. Only to clean the chamber area. I have heard so many stories of ruining barrels that I am reluctant to do so. A good friend overheard some top rimfire shooters at Firechance talking about getting the lead out by scrubbing with a copper...

As a relatively new benchrest competitor I have a question concerning cleaning. Does lead build up in the lands and grooves in the barrel. I understand keeping the chamber clean. A big time shooter said he cleans for lead regularly. How badly does it build up and how often do you clean and what...

Congratulations Scott. Great way to start your benchrest shooting. I have found in my short time, people are more than happy to help. It is fun to do well but the main thing is to have fun while making some new friends.

We shoot usbr at our club.You would be in the unlimited class if you're rifle weighs more than 10.5 pounds. It usually takes a score of 243 to 248 to be competitive although recently we had a shooter get a 250. From what I have observed and in my opinion your pretty close. A few more points per...

I recently received my Protektor dr. flat top rear bag. The bag itself along with both ears are rock hard. My previous rear bag was smaller and not nearly as hard. Does having it this full cause problems when benchrest shooting. Should I empty out some of the sand. Seems like it being that hard...

Those are some very good groups. I kind of understand your frustration. As a beginner a couple of years ago I asked a very good shooter for some advice. Never heard a thing. It was a little discouraging. You know what you can do. That's all that really matters.

At the club where I shoot we shoot the usbr target. Since most people use the ara, or the ir50/50 target. Was kind of wondering how the scores at our matches would relate to ara, ir50 scores. Does anyone have a method of converting the scores. Anyone have a idea what scores in the 245 to 248...

Thanks Mike,as always I appreciate your help. Yes you can have them painted them very reasonable. I am very lucky in that I have a very good local painter that charges less than 200 dollars for almost any custom paint job on a rifle stock. He has painted two for me that are stunning and...
