    Cold Weather shooting

    Fortunately I have access to an indoor 100 yard center fire range, but if it is too cold, I just shoot handguns indoors. I guess if I ever start shooting at matches though I will have to consider what to do to keep warm. Not as easy as it was when I was a lot younger. Bob

    Skb rest Carrying case

    Mine came today. I was a little disappointed in that it was not in a shipping container and label were just pasted to the outside of the case and it was shipped that way. It took me some time to get all the labels and adhesive off, but at least it showed that it is capable of being shipped as...

    Getting Started

    I started with a Cooper Bench Rest Model (57-M) and have friends that started with H&R Model 12s. Work great for me at an attractive price while I had a custom one built. Bob

    BR scale recommendations

    Or Drummers "Thrones" - I have a Gemtech 250 which is surprisingly accurate against my FX, but is a little more difficult to get stabilized and weight checked.

    Bob White

    Bob's shop is closed until 02/15/19, so it would appear that he feels that he will be back to normal soon. I have reached out to Edna to get an update on how he is doing. Bob

    BR scale recommendations

    I have a FX120i and a Chargemaster with an Omega trickler. Used right, both set ups do an adequate job. The Chargemaster is also easy to set up for 12 volt battery operation. Bob

    Skb rest Carrying case

    Interesting as that is the seller I ordered it from, but yesterday I could only find them showing it as $49.95 plus $9.95 for shipping, but a great deal either way. Bob

    Skb rest Carrying case

    Thanks Todd, The second link is what I had found, $69.95 shipped free, but shows as Used. The first one is $49,95 , but shipping is extra, Certainly worth $60 shipped to me, so I ordered it. My SEB Neo is still in the crate so now I have an incentive to unpack it and put it together. Thanks...

    building

    Although still a newbie to short range benchrest, my 6PPC with one scope on it and a removable weight I have in the butts stock, can shoot in HV and with the weight out and the scope switched to a lighter one, it can make LV. Probably a bad compromise of each.

    Looking for advice/gunsmith

    + 1 for Gordon Eck, and it is good that you are having your stock done elsewhere as Gordon told me that he is no longer doing stock work. He is pretty particular on what components he will build with. Bob

    Gunsmiths Research in the North East

    I buy much of my Bench Rest loading supplies and equipment from Bob White at the Shooter's Corner. It is 47 miles from my apartment in Manhattan. Easy drive. Just give him a call in advance and make sure he is going to be there. Sometimes he is away at a shoot, or has other commitments. There...

    Luby,s Cafeterias.....you just lost my business.

    Unfortunately "Firearms Ownership" is not a Federally Protected Class like the 8 Federal ones, the 10 New York State ones and the 14 New York City ones. Fortunately my Cardiologist and my Oncologist both shoot with me.

    Refused @ UPS

    Long haul over the road truck drivers can make a very substantial income, if they are willing to be away from home most nights and rack up a lot of overtime and holiday pay. There is no such thing as free shipping. It is built into the cost or the seller wouldn't make any money. Take a look at...

    Refused @ UPS

    The franchise stores typically will not take a firearm or anything insured for more than $1,000.00. There is a high coverage rate form. I know the local FedEx and UPS Drivers that cover my area and sometimes even flag a truck down when it is out making deliveries. Give my package to the driver...

    Luby,s Cafeterias.....you just lost my business.

    With all my recent medical treatment I have also been in hospitals that have firearms related sites block as well as other types of sites. My ipad has cell service like my phone and I just use data through a cell tower when sites are blocked. My office network also blocks these sites. Their...

    Borden B or BR for HV Rifle?

    Jim made me a BRM action with an enlarge ejection port. Took some weight out while also allowing an unfired 6.5x47 Lapua to be removed unfired, without removing the bolt. Bob
