Glynn, Art won the 1948 Olympics shooting a Remington 37. There is a video on YouTube showing the actual rifle Art shot. Bill Calfee posted that video on his website. www.wwaccuracy.com/index.php?threads/why-is-tony-harper-the-greatest-of-all-time-rfbr-shooter-g-o-a-t.7259/#post-36206 Sorry...

I was on the testing team for the development of UM1. Federal would send me test lots nearly every week. I would shoot them at night under lights against Eley Tenex and Eley Benchrest gold. I was really impressed with how it performed. The cases were perfect. The rim thickness was .042 on the...

While we have brought up a very old thread about ammo. I want to add my 2 cents. I doubt there are many that remember the very best rimfire ammo ever made but just so you know the Russian Olimp-R was the real deal. It was as close to magic as any ammo I've ever seen. Never was commercially...

The key to shooting the IR 50/50 target with a Sporter is the black thick lines around the target. Those can be seen with the 6.5 X scope. If you have a dot use it and those thick lines just like shooting a peep sight. The ARA target doesn’t have any thick lines which makes it much harder to see...

Stuart, I agree with you. Shooting the sporter is the most rewarding shooting that I do. I wish I knew how to get more shooters interested. At one time guys/gals got into shooting sports because of the challenge. But now it seems the challenge isn't the draw. What I hear most often is "it is...

Would that be the outer edge of one shot to the outer edge of a second shot? Center to center would be a much smaller distance. It would be the diameter of the bullet difference. TKH

Take a look at this new product from Anschutz. It represents out of the box thinking. Would really like to hear everyone's thoughts on this new design. https://www.anschuetz-sport.com/en/produkte/22max/22max/?fbclid=IwAR3zCujZewav9K9dgBQs4UVMRM0Fdrg6k-SsuuFldxRcKWzLviyCodDSDRM TKH

Larry, As Tim said there have been several attempts to migrate RFBR to Air Rifle BR. Larry Brown the creator of BR 50 which is where ARA came from tried to integrate centerfire, rimfire, and air rifles into his BR 50 game. The idea was centerfire shot at 100 yards, rimfire at 50 yards and air...

Tim, Thanks for adding your remarks. The major components we use have on average improved across the board. All of our major barrel makers have proven they can produce high quality winning barrels. Many of these barrel makers are offering hand lapped barrels, at least one is offering...

Timo, Not to take anything away from PRS. It is a very challenging sport, but it is quite different from RFBR. One could say PRS requires great accuracy whereas RFBR requires great precision. Many of the guys and gals that shoot RFBR could not handle the physical requirements of PRS. Nor can...

I'll start by answering your first question. Lapua has been the only game in town since about 2014. If you recall Eley Tenex and Eley Benchrest Gold were the go-to ammo for a long time after the Lapua factory in Finland blew up. There have been some good to great lot numbers by Eley, but they...

Kent you have asked a very good question. When I have time, I'll give you my thoughts on the subject. Para phrasing the words of a great American. It's a damn shame what RFBR has come to, for people like me, and people like you. More later. TKH

Thanks George. TKH

Has anyone tried any of the Ezell tuners? I think there are a number of different styles. If you have used one, please post your result and a pic of which style you are using. Thanks, TKH

It will be posted on the IR 50/50 website. The Champ of Champs sheet was the only one I was able to get before I left. If someone has a copy maybe they can post it here. TKH

Pedro Serralheiro has taken our sport to a new level. Everyone should have heard by now how well he and his team (Portugal) did at the World Tournaments. They are Champions of the World in Rimfire Benchrest Shooting. But have we all realized just what it means that Pedro shot a 1500 with...

No, There were 10 shooters that qualified for the Champ of Champs title. If you missed this event maybe you can make it to the IR 50/50 match this Saturday at Wilson's range in Indiana Pa. It will be an unlimited match shooting three targets. Basically, if you can drag it to a bench, you...

The IR 50/50 Unlimited Nationals was shot today at Fairchance Rifle Range, Smithport. Pa. George Donovan came out on top as the 2023 IR 50/50 Unlimited Champion. Conditions was tough, but George was more than up to the task. Congratulations George on another outstanding performance. Tony...

The 2023 IR 50/50 3-Gun Nationals were held today at Fairchance Gun Range, in Smithport, Pa. The overall 6 Gun agg. results are below. The IR 50/50 3-gun Nationals consist of 6 targets. The Sporter rifle shoots one target at 50 yards and one target at 50 meters. The 10.5 lb rifle also shoots...

Match was conducted in a professional manner. It came off without a hitch. The weather was great. Maybe a little hot. The wind, oh the wind. Momma said if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all, so I won't. The one match report says unofficial but it was confirmed...
