    Looking for a benchrest stock for an Anschutz 54

    SEB NEO vs Farley Coax II

    I looked at both the MM and the JAK. Both look great and are very cost friendly. I think I will call both and ask a few questions about their products. Thank you for your to-the-point reply. I appreciated your information. Dale:cool:

    SEB NEO vs Farley Coax II

    Shooters, I am trying to determine the quality differences between the SEB NEO and the Farley Coax II bench rests. Do quantitative differences exist when shooting 500-1000 yards with a 20 lb rifle? Both rests look quite good and I am usually a big fan of American made products. I would like to...

    Powder scales..........a new thread

    I have been using both the balance beam and the electronic. I found the balance beam when adjusted as very accurate. However I like the speed and easy read of a Vicon vic 123. It is a lab scale that measures in hundredths of a grain. It is easy to calibrate and I leave mine on to minimize excess...

    New Shooter Advice

    Manatee Range Bradenton Fl Spoke to several 1000 yd shooters and looked at the range. I used to shoot benchrest many years ago at 200 yds using a 222 Rem Mag built by Roger Schmill in Michigan. I have some experience at BR but not at 1000 yds. I have shot loads of 22 lr at 100 and 200 with a...

    New Shooter Advice

    Hello, I am interested in entering 1000 yd. shooting. I have done some research and like the 6.5X47 Lapua round. My question is where do I find a benchrest rifle in this caliber? Are they commercially available or custom-made? I would like to use Lapua brass and berger bullets that I will tip...

    Good .22LR for BR at 50Y

    Steve, just back from shooting. Recorded a .164 5 shot group at 50 yards bench rest with my Turbo. This is a great group for me. I hope I am calculating the group correctly - measure the widest point and subtract the diameter of the bullet, .221 for the 22 lr I believe. I need to take some wood...

    Good .22LR for BR at 50Y

    Steve, Just returned from shooting my Turbo. I was shooting groups at 50 yards with Tenex off sand bag rests. The best group was .1825". We also shot paint balls off golf tees at 50 and 75 yards. Paint balls are fun but you cannot shoot the golf tee. All shots must be clean. I shot the Turbo I...

    Good .22LR for BR at 50Y

    Steve, Dan Killough has the Eley ammo A good scope is a good question. You really need to look through some and decide what you like and what power to use. There are many to select in fixed or variable power. Fixed power scopes are lighter such as Sightron, Weaver, and Leupold. Variables are...

    Good .22LR for BR at 50Y

    Steve, I have just gone through the same process. I bought a used Turbo from Dan Killough. It shoots great with Eley red box ammo. However, you have overlooked one small component - a scope. Good luck, Dale

    Firing Pin strike depth & 6 vs. 12

    Variations are due to random chance If the variations are not significant, the conclusion is that they are due to random chance. For the test there appears to be no significant difference in the firing pin position. This makes perfect sense and the data supports the conclusion. The shooters...

    Interested in the functionality of a bore scope and what is recommended

    Hello, I am interested in purchasing a bore scope for internal bore inspection of both pistols and 22 caliber rifles. I would like to know if any of the benchresters use one and what is the best combination to purchase. I really don't need one but would like to have one added to the shop...

    resurrection of a 1965 Rem 40X 22 lr

    The .211 groups was for five shots. The BR target is, to the bets of my knowledge, 50 shots. I think a 242 is a bit optimistic. I am ordering some additional lapua and 6 bricks of Eley from Killough. That should keep me going for some time. I will ask at Killough if they have the targets you...

    resurrection of a 1965 Rem 40X 22 lr

    Well Gentlemen I just returned from a very successful shoot - at least in my book. I shot two really good groups of .2110 and .2345 using some brand new Lapua MidasL. I figured the group size by using my digital mic to measure the group at the widest point then subtracted .2235 for the diameter...
