Bingo! Tazzman hit the nail on the head. Made that same change and all works well again. Thanks tazz ...

Wilbur: I just got the "Invalid Redirect" message three consecutive times, but looks like it will let me post. When I log in, I get the "Invalid" message, but if I click on "New Posts", it shows the new-to-me posts and the top line of the screen then says "Welcome ReedG". Hope that helps in...

What is the meaning of some names in ALL CAPS and some Upper and Lower Case?

Not sure what fluting could do to make a barrel more accurate. It is an attempt to maintain the stiffness of a large-diameter barrel and reduce its weight.

Didn't see your last question until I had posted. Yes, a Light Varmint (LV) can compete in both LV and HV, but not vice versa, for group shooting. In IBS score shooting, the two classes of HV/LV are grouped together as Varmint for Score and separate records are kept for LV and HV but in the...

"Point-blank" Benchrest, 100-200-300 yards seems to be what you are referring to. NBRSA is probably chief organization of group shooting, IBS features score shooting (though both groups sanction both types of shooting), UBR (I think) does score only. In group shooting, the contest is to shoot...

I have Savages with both types of barrel mounting and have no experience or testing ability to prove one better or worse than the other. What appeals to me about the barrel nut mounting system is the ability to get prechambered barrels, sporter or competition, that can be easily installed...

Most of the sleeves I've seen are aluminum and the action is usually turned a bit to make a very snug fit inside the sleeve. I've only seen a few and all were glued in and could be removed. They do strengthen the action by increasing the stiffness and most sleeves have a much smaller opening for...

Vermont shooter Tom Benoit, in only his second BR match and using a Panda 6 PPC, won the 100-yard agg. of the Vermont State Championships today with 22 Xs. Mike Suhie (21), Allie Euber (20), Randy Jarvais (20), and Bill Sargent (19) for Top 5. 27 guns in VFS. In Hunter, Bill Sargent, 250/20...

Greg, I have a 6 PPC on a BAT SV action with a stock quite similar to this one. I really disliked it at first, but have learned to appreciate it. Mine is a "West 2000" and is about 3.5" longer than the usual stock. It is very thick in the wrist area, almost no grip and virtually impossible to...

Is this the end of Rachel's Glen? Sure hope not.

Rick, that mounting block looks molded. Is that something you offer? Reed

Link works fine, Boyd. Thanks for the heads-up. Just got a set of Rick's flags but wasn't aware of the box. Calvin, what's in the bottom of the box? Is there a set slotted crosspieces? Reed

Everybody has an idea. When my nephew and I built our flags (actually, rebuilt, as Mickey Coleman sent me a bunch of well-used flags that needed some TLC) we made Delrin pivots on my little Grizzly lathe. If you use a 3/16" shaft, the roller bearing off router bits are a slip fit and we...

Seeing as how I clean the bolt every time I clean the barrel I'm not convinced that a super-duper special grease is necessary. Every time I remove the bolt I apply grease on the lugs. When I clean the barrel, I wipe the bolt down, lightly oil it, apply grease to the lugs and camming areas. I've...

Hi Jim: Sorry to hear about the problem with your Leupold and also the coming surgery. I have a 45x45 Leupold on my 30 BR with nearly 3,000 rounds down the tube and never a blip or hiccup. I am a long time believer that Leupolds are a good scope and a good company so I hope they get it sorted...

Do you have uploading of pictures shut off? Reed

Thanks for the catch, Jerry. Can't believe I typed it four times and didn't notice.

Without pillars, any overtightening will compress the wood. One of the purposes of good bedding is to hold the action firmly and squarely in the stock. This can be accomplished with 20-25 in./lbs. of torque on the screws. I actually start at 15 in./lbs., shoot a five-shot group, go to 20...

I only officially score IBS Score targets, but the holes are always smaller than the bullet. 30BR holes clearly have a white ring around them when viewed through the scoring reticle; 6 PPC not quite as much, but still some. If you take a loaded round and push the bullet into one of the holes in...
