I'm moving to the Albany, OR area and looking for a range or gun club that does rimfire benchrest matches, any info would be great, TIA.

I read a bunch of old threads on crowns, most seem to say a flat, recessed, or 11* crown makes no real difference, but they seem to be split on leaving the bore to crown sharp with no burrs or putting a chamfer in the bore to transition the bore to the crown. Currently I have a sharp bore to...

I cut my first crown today on a old heavy 10/22 barrel I had laying around for practice before doing one of my .22lr benchrest guns, and had a couple questions, will polishing after cutting do anything for accuracy or just appearance, and is the transition from rifling to crown sufficient with...

Thanks, you make some very good points, I will probably just stick with my Lapua

Has anyone tried the Eley Standard Premium 500rd bulk pack ammo 07100? I have not shot much Eley yet, mostly Lapua Center X and Midas +, it would be nice to use something that's 8 cents a round for practice. On that note, is it practical to practice with good ammo that is not quite as good as...

Is anyone here familiar with the Sako Finnfire series P94S .22lr varmint rifles? I specifically would like to know if they were offered in a single shot version, or were all magazine fed? Thanks, Tony

I'm new to benchrest shooting, I'm going to shoot my first match in a few weeks, I went to the range and practiced for the first time the other day, shooting like this is new to me and all the equipment is new as well. I'm using a Bald Eagle BE1004 and a Protektor #13 rear bag. I noticed...

It looks like it's the extractor, I looked at it and compared it to pictures of a new one and it looks flattened and there is brass shavings stuck in it, it will be a few days till I get a new extractor, I'm going to clean the crap out of it, put in the new extractor, lube it up good and see...

I have a Remington 700 in .223, I had the bolt sent out to be cut and threaded for a larger knob and now it is having extraction issues and occasional failure to fire from light primer strikes, currently using a spent casing it is not extracting at all have to push the casing out with a cleaning...

I'm looking into a custom rifle, how can I tell makers marks? They say it has a Shilen barrel? What marks can I look for? Thanks. Tony

Thank you, I found exactly what I was looking for at PMA tool, Davidson style scope ring bases for 1.350" round actions. Thanks again, Tony

I have a time precision s22r action, I'm switching to a 30mm tube scope and need to change out the base and rings to accommodate it, the bases I took off are Tasco steel probably 20 years old like the rifle is, there is no part numbers on them, hole spacing is same front & rear 0.860" which I...

So the used benchrest rifle I purchased came with a Leupold 24X that dated back to 1994, you could see a white ring around the lens when looking thru it so I sent it in to Leupold for warranty repair, they told me the reticle has been modified by Premier Reticle and that they cannot perform any...

I was looking at the offerings from different manufactures most of which are out of my price range anyway, but I noticed Leupold, March, Nightforce, & Sightron, offer very few fixed options even in their benchrest categories. So fixed power for less chance of inconsistency after making a...

I did a search and looked thru the archive on fixed vs adjustable magnification, other than fixed power being lighter weight than variable power it's not clear to me what the advantage or disadvantage between the two is? Thanks, Tony

I'm also new to this and this thread has been helpful. I'm considering the Bald Eagle BE1005 or BE1006 how important is the weight of the rest with a 10-14lb .22lr, the cost difference is negligible, it's 12lbs vs 21lbs without a bag on the rest.

I did hear back from Time Precision, was told it was originally built with a shillen barrel approximately 20 years ago so around 1998 give or take a few years, thanks for the info on the smith, I picked this up in Lawrence, KS, and yes I do know not to dry fire it I have snap caps. I was hoping...

It has a Hoehn 4000+ tuner on it and McMillan stock, I found their website and sent a E-mail but I think your right it looked like they had not updated the site in a while. I think I'm going to have alot of fun with it, I have been shooting a Kimber 82g and this popped up and I couldn't pass it up.

Thanks for the info, I miss spoke it does pull the casing out of the chamber so the extractor works, it just has no ejector, I can live with having to knock the case off the bolt. I can't find any manufacture markings on the barrel except 22lr R. Smith OP, KS 66210 the barrel does have a...

I'm new to benchrest and picked up this used .22lr custom benchrest rifle with out knowing much about it since it seemed like a good deal. It's marked Time Precision New Milford, CT, and S22R is the model of the action, I can't find much info on this action or the manufacturer and had some...
