We had a lot of fun shooting against Calfee rifles, When I sat down to shoot they were all down the line, Bill built some good guns for some great shooters, ANd Bill bragging like Mohamed Ali didn't help the situation. LOL But, it was all a lot of fun, and fun beating Calfee built rifles, He...

Tony, I enjoy the posts, and Mr Calfee deserves the honor and respect! I always enjoyed chatting with him when I got the chance. He knew how to make lead bullet guns work very well, and not many folks do.

Great story!

Very sorry to read this news, I always liked Bill, and his work. Enjoyed talking with him back in the day, Never met him in person but always wanted to, My condolences to his family,

Looks like you are off to a good start! And look like a bit of wind from the right hand side was biting you on rows 3 and 4. Work with it, you'll do fine!

Nice, I like the look of this. Has a bit of metal underneath for good bedding. Bedding is important. For a benchrest sporter should work nice.

A difficult question. I don't know the capabilities of your rifle/rest/rear bag set up. Let's assume you can see and have a proper scope. Some rifles are a lot more user friendly than others, meaning some shoot better when held lightly, and some go wacko, depending on how they're held, or not...

A bit before my time as well, but I recognize some names. I think I only shot a couple matches in 2003, then got into the game in 2004.

Great shooting Harvey! Congrats to all!

Congratulations! Well done!

I shot both RBA and IR5050 in 3 gun format. I was a MD for both for years. I enjoyed shooting both RBA and IR5050 as well. Dave Burton was president of RBA when I started, then Scott Hamilton was later, then Jeff Braun, then Bob Collins, then maybe Phil Dorman or Craig Young? As I said I enjoyed...

Nice thread Tony! Merry Christmas!!!!!!

I'd like to thank everyone for their comments. While I didn't say it, I was basically wondering about the newer equipment, i.e. rifles/barrels/scopes/etc.. But there have been many nice comments. I guess one thing that hasn't changed is wondering how to get more people involved in the sport, and...

Meaning? Thanks for your participation on the thread, but i don't understand the comment. Could you please elaborate?

Thanks to all who have contributed to this tread, it's been quite interesting. Initially, I posted the thread to find out if my 10-12 year old equipment would compete in todays game. I guess the jury is still out on that, based on ammo availability. LOL I've always loved shooting of any kind...

Gentlemen, interesting observations, and interesting reading. Thanks to all who have contributed to the thread so far. IR50/50 and RBA 3 gun were my games of choice back in the day. I enjoyed, and loved the Sporter class best of all. Those games seemed to have declined a lot.

Thanks George, I like 52 Winchesters myself, have several B's and C's. Ammo was always the hardest part of the game.

PedroS, very interesting observations. Thanks for contributing. Rimfire definitely isn't like anything else. It takes a lot of determination, among other things. It is a very specialized game, and not for everyone.

I watched some videos on PRS equipment, and the game. I won't take anything away from the game, but definitely different from rimfire BR. I watched one of the smiths testing a new build without wind flags, and as he shot, noticing the shot placements, I was figuring how the slight change in the...

Thanks Tony! I still have a stable of BR rifles, and sometimes wonder how they'd stack up against todays equipment. With the right ammo, I image pretty well. I always enjoyed the people in the game, and like you said all the different rigs. When I started out, I was shooting a 40x with a factory...
