I don’t know who made those rings but I bet Flavio made them. I’m still using Kelby rings but as you may know they aren’t making them anymore. Harrel’s still make some pretty nice rings. TKH

Tim, I have had very good result outdoors and indoors with the 8 grooves. I have fitted about 10 of these for different people and they seem to have the same results I have. It could be Paul is just doing them well but they work. I have a couple of 4 MIs and I’m going to try a test between...

I have just completed building and testing another new build. This one follows the format I've been using for a while now. Turbo V-3 action, Muller 8 groove barrel, Flavio Fare 2.1 trigger, Harrel tuner, and Rotex stock. I tested this rifle by taking it to the IR 50/50 Indoor Nationals. I...

Frank, As long as you are having fun you are doing it right. Some guys including me get caught up in the competition that they forget this is supposed to be fun. I’m getting better about it but it may take a 12 step program to cure me. TKH

Once you experience the new lighter triggers it is hard to go back. Some can do it, some can't. There is a place for the 1.5 oz triggers. But if you look at what is being used in RFBR matches it doesn't appear this is their place. Hence the saying "To each his own". Variety is the spice of...

Here is a short video of the Flavio Fare Whisper 2.0 trigger. TKH

You may be right. We could be missing out but let me ask have you ever shot a Flavio Fare trigger adjusted to 12- 15 grams that is in the 1/2 oz range. Once you get use to shooting those a trigger that is 1 oz or more seems way too heavy. I know one can adapt to most things but at this stage...

Thanks for the info. I haven’t seen a new one in years. I really thought they weren’t making them anymore. Thanks for the info. TKH

Did you buy it from Shilen or someone else? TKH

PNW Skipper, Thank you for your input. I looked up the XTSP triggers and here is what I found. https://www.snipershide.com/precision-rifle/xtsp-mod-22-two-stage-trigger-for-700-platform-rifles-review/ They are not benchrest triggers. We are shooting triggers in the 12-20 grams pull weights...

I still have two Shilen triggers. I don’t think they have been made in years. In their day they were good reliable triggers. Some thought the Jewell triggers were a little better. TKH

Old Gus, Thank you for your input. I haven't seen one of these, but they may be worth a try. TKH

Tim, I think you are right. The day of $200.00 benchrest triggers is over. Three plus oz. triggers will not cut it anymore. We have been spoiled. What I'm hoping for is an American made trigger comparable to Bix N Andy and Flavio Fare that carries American product support and is always...

I wrote the post below in August 2015. I was shocked at the negative comments I received. It seemed many were Jewell trigger fans, and I had gored the sacred cow. That wasn't my intention. But time has proven me correct. The new triggers competed in the marketplace for many years against...

For those that have not had a Benchrest rifle built I would like to share an example of what it can be like. This build was done by Bill Calfee quite a long time ago using what at the time was the latest equipment available. The build was for Jim Peightal. Jim is a gunsmith in his own rite...

South Fork hosted the last outdoor IR 50/50 unlimited match of the year yesterday. It was a nice fall day. Started out cold but warmed up as the sun came out. The shooting conditions were about the best we have had all year, and the scores reflected it. There were 15, 250 targets shot...

The 2024 IR 50/50 Nationals is now done. Fairchance Gun Club put on a great Nationals under some very bad weather conditions. Fairchance can be tough anytime but with the help of the remainder of hurricane Helene it was just plain awful. But as always, a few shooters stood out. Bruce...

Match reports for the IR 50/50 Factory Nationals. Note: The Factory class in IR 50/50 shoots the same target scored the same way as all others classes including unlimited. You will notice that the Factory yards Champion is missing. I will put it up when I can get the information. The website...
