Take 1-11/2 coils off and learn how to trim it flat and try again.

Largely….no

Put a variable on it and shoot it UNL. Been done before without compromise…..honest. Besides, you can then beat the bushes and get something going in IR.

Either he got a big offer or reality did not meet expectations, either or both.

Any chance, for the holidays, you publish a "Casey to English" translation guide?

Tony, still got a few boxes of Moscow Olimp. Right behind it, or along side some 2012 6 machine match. I actually talked to a couple Federal guys back then that explained one of their design parameters was to cut substantially barrel time for the slug, I suspect related to the higher fps.

That bolt/spring/pin is wild. I’d suspect that sight extension incorporates a tuning function as well.

With all due respect Pedro, you are wrong, at least as it applies to this country. Here, the RFBR demographic is substantially blue collar and guys make sacrifices to participate often. The other primary demographic is retirees, fixed income guys, recently fighting through 9% inflation. With...

Pedro’s post is pretty accurate. I would add one thing. I have seen changes, more so in IR50/50 which struggles for many reasons. I have shot this from the early days and unfortunately have seen dozens drop away. Age, no doubt, but largely many, many shooters simply tire of shooting mid pack...

Not TKH but since I followed this closely…..it was tried and more or less failed due to lack of interest from the air guys and the realization that the guns struggle in real world wind often, mor than RFBR guns The best of breed don’t even shoot pellets per se, they shoot custom swaged slugs...

Tony pretty much got it. I have a small addition FWIW. While top ammo has gotten absurdly difficult to source these days, on average, it’s better. Top lots probably not but average, probably. The best barrels are a bit better but the average match barrel seems a fair bit better. The average guy...

Assuming your bbl is .900”, I would spend a fair effort between 200-225, probably closer to 200.

I’d guess expense is a big factor, for three gun you need a good sporter, often requiring it’s own favored ammo. Your cost just went up 2X, plus with the majority of shooters getting older, many cannot shoot a 6.5x scope well. Also, IMHO, a series of bad management, including current, primarily...

Your gun does not say Sinclair Intl, it says Sinclair Inc. Sinclair Intl, did not really develop until Fred stop building guns, after a lawsuit. That said, he was as good as it got in his time, my guess is he put a Hart barrel on it, probably early/ mid 1990’s Biggest liability is that it’s an...

Yep……and you are sure right about Fairchance. First time I shot there my heart was in my mouth for a long, long, time. Jerry, planning on shooting all three. Tim Simbari

Lee, That’s why I said first/cold. Barrels vary, but also well known, it is wise to know how long your barrel can wait between shots and still shoot to established POI. If you wait more than a bit for a condition, it’s wise to throw i-2 sighters before next record shot to reestablish a...

Lee, in this case it is a no lube/cold lube issue….well known, zero to do with tuner.

I believe so. They were clones of Malsby’s which were clones of the Remington BR bullets.

That is where the state mates were, complete with their 30’ tall windflag poles. We shot a night UNL match there before the state 3 gun…. First time I met Denny Antonious and Wendel. Denny spent entire match under a blanket at bench, just the muzzle sticking out. I won the 10.5 lb. Until...

You could not have tried too hard. He shot only at Haggerstown and not in sanctioned matches. Chet was all about learning about what made RFBR rifles run and building them. He never went anyplace else because of major heart issues that finally caught up with him. Even when Gary Loughnot and I...
