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...

Results: I will post pics of the sheets I have and the rest when I receive them. I know some of these are hard to read but I will get better copies and post them when I can. TKH

This next set of pics will show some of the gear that was used. If you attended a Nationals 10 year ago you would have seen the same gear, we are using today. Actually, some of these rifles were competing at this level 10 years ago. TKH

Guys the problem is the IR 50/50 site doesn't show the complete data as far as I can tell. I can't find the Sporter Yards Champion. That would be the three yards target agg, winner. If you see it, please point it out for me. TKH

The Nationals this year was unlike any I've ever attended. I would first like to thank Fairchance Gun Club and all of their personnel that made the event happen. I would also like to thank the shooters that showed up and competed. I know the weather stopped many from coming and I understand...

Calfee did do many such conversions but that was in the days before the Turbos and other custom rimfire actions. Calfee's XP 100 conversions were the center piece of his famous pistols. In their day they were tough to beat, and many would still marvel at their accuracy today. TKH

Why would one want to do that? If you owned the action and was capable of doing the conversion it may be an interesting project. Might even save a little money. But if you had to pay someone to do it the cost could be more than the cost of a new custom rimfire action. Would the conversion...

It just may be better than you are hoping. I recall a guy with a Suhl 150 cleaning my clock while I was shooting an Annie 54 Super match. I also saw the first BR 1000 match won in Virginia by a guy shooting a Suhl. Good luck. TKH

Looks like Scott and I are posting the same info at the same time. Sorry if this has caused any confusion. TKH

As Scott said there have been some killer Suhl rifles. They have excellent triggers and with a good barrel they can run with most. If the price is right she just may give you a run for your money. But if you can shoot it before you buy it. You should always do that if you can. TKH
