Well, here's the deal. As I recall the Shilen's are riveted together so I am wondering if folks take them apart, can they re-use the rivet heads ?

I read someplace to never use anything to lube a trigger, particularly lighter fluid. I have run my Jewels dry for a few years now without incident. Tigger's are a very simple mechanism and with hardened parts in them, they really don't need lube. The pivots don't get used a whole lot in the...

What brand trigger?

Is it possible to dismantle a Shilen trigger and reassemble it?

Nothing is lost in the magazine cut. There are plenty of great shooting Hunter class rifles. I bought one years ago from a guy who had shot a 25X VFS score with it. I had made up my mind that I wanted to convert to RRR rifles so I sold it. I had other rifles that shot as well

Also all the new games coming online is also forcing the price upward I think. Folks seem to like shooting at steel vs paper now a day .

I personally do not think the extry half pound would matter at all or a wider stock. What matters is the 6X scope. Hell, you could even pump it up to 13.5 pounds and the same would be true. Having given up on fixing existing defective scopes, I spent the " The Nursing Home's Money" on a couple...

It's the participants pricing themselves out. Too much money available in America today.

We are indeed diminished. My condolences to his family and friends

Only those who understand the challenge of the 6X and 10 pound gun can understand it. The numbers of those who like the 6X has waxed and waned over time but new shooters do come along from time to time. 6X shooting is the true challenge in Benchrest is 6X shooting.

I had the good fortune to attend Gordy Gritters Action Blueprinting course during the last week in January. A wonderful experience and a super place to learn a lot in a limited amount of time. I live only 1 hour from his shop so it was easy peasy. I highly recommend him and his school to anyone...

He used to travel with Roscoe Murray I believe.

Read my last post again.

A friend bought a used 40 and had an issue with it. They replaces it with a new one. Nice scope, from what I have seen with his at least. Pete

Work with published loads as you are getting started and you won't likely get in any trouble regardless of where you seat your bullets. This isn't really a Black Art.

Pretty much, its the powder one has to be concerned with, not the seating depth. You aren't plowing new ground. Stick with published loads and you won't blow anything up. I use as my benchmark the OAL of a loaded round, measured from where the bullet will touch the lands to the butt of the...

Barrels and solid scopes.

How many HBR shooters would pay $2500. for a bullet proof 6X HBR scope? That will tell the story. Pete. Me, I'm in for one and I'm almost 80 yoa!

A lot of factors come into play with rifle tuning. There are a lot of combinations that work, it's just a matter of trying different things until something remarkable happens. Me, I "Settled" on .006" into the lands measured from where one can just barely see land marks on the bullet. I then...

Two issues: 1. Adjustability and reticle choice. I personally can not live with 1/2" MOA and really need a very small dot and fine crosshairs, me. I have tuners on some of my HBR barrels. One has to take the weight out of the barrel though. 1 or two ounces will tune a barrel so it is easier...
