Thanks guys for the advice. There is no doubt that wood holds a beauty aspect that can't be matched by traditional fiberglass without painting. There is the problem of warping with wood but I was under the impression that a good pillar and glass bedding job eliminated that. Does the rifle...

Both of my competition benchrest rifles have fiberglass stocks. Having never had a wood benchrest style stock are there any advantages of wood. I have read that wood has better dampening properties. Looking for some opinions. Also does anyone know if there is a newer website for Don Stith stocks...

I decided to go with the bix&andy. Tried one at the last shoot I attended. Really smooth with very light trigger. Arrived yesterday and fit perfectly in turbo. Just have to wait for stock to get back from custom paint.

Yes sir. I read a review by Tony Harper at least I think it was him, that had a lot of good things to say about the Flavio trigger. As hard as the bix&andy is to find the Flavio is even harder to find.

If I was going to replace my current jewell trigger, what would be the choice between the bix&Andy or the Flavio. The price for both is relatively equal. To those who have tried both which do you prefer and why. Just looking for some information before I spring for that kind of money.

Hey Tim I am on your side on this one, but apparently there are some people that still believe that it helps. With middle and lower quality ammo I could see some possible benefit due to variations in quality control. I have to believe that in the upper quality ammo there is just not that much...

I have noticed similar threads on different websites. It seems that there are two sides in this. I guess there could be a placebo effect. If you believe that it works it works. Neither side is going to change their minds so I think we will just have to agree to disagree. Personally I think with...

I could be wrong about this as I am relatively new. The tuner is used to tune the ammo to that barrel. It does not matter what brand of ammo is used. The barrel itself and the chamber will determine which ammo it prefers. That just requires some testing. If you are trying for precision stick...

Thanks Mr Tim. It is a little tougher being a relative beginner as you haven't made the contacts and friends within the game who can sometimes help your advancement and answer your questions.

I would like to offer my apologies to Mr. Tim. It has come to my attention that Mr Tim is indeed a first class shooter,in fact in one organization a hall of famer at the gold class level. We did not get off to a good start. While we still have our differences about the ammo situation, I have...

I'm out!

You didn't get a call from a damn soul. I am such a small fish they don't even know who I am.

Your right the trolls do come out. You see one every time that you look at yourself in the mirror. As to my shooting ability, I am learning but I did place 1st in sporter, 3rd in factory unlimited, and tied for 3rd in unlimited but was beat out on X count. Do I still still have something to...

I admit that I would love to have a range. While there are some things you can only learn on your own, there are some things that can be passed to others to help shorten the learning curve. I have been very lucky to have had some these people help me out. Those who have helped know who they are...

I also have only been at this about two years. It's amazing that instead of trying to be helpful to newcomers there are some that discourage others. While I do find the ammo chase chaotic I have no intention of giving up with or without anyone's help. I will keep testing and I suppose that the...

Thanks Tommy, unfortunately I am more than aware of Tims reputation for being a know it all. Maybe someday when some of the people I talked to get out of the sport they can tell the truth without fear of reprisal. Even then with first hand testimony people like Tim will still refuse to believe...

Mr. Tim I am not going to engage in a pissing contest with you. I am also not going to name shooters and gunsmiths I have talked to. In my short time in rimfire benchrest I have already seen how easily it is to be ostracized if you disagree with the crowd. I would love to have sent my rifle off...

I did get on the pre order list from Killoughs. Didn't make much difference. It was already gone before I could get it ordered. Mr. Tim I have done more than my share of investigation. I have talked with national competitors who have won Ara, Psl, and Ir 50/50 events including the unlimited...

I was wondering what does it take to get a fair chance at some of the best ammo. When distributors and gunsmiths are passing on information to team shooters or friends, the best is gone before the average person ever sees a ammo list. Is it based upon past achievements? The insiders seem to...

Amen, I saw a nice Gordon Eck build that had just shot a 248 on usbr target change hands at our last match.
