Come shoot your rails Saturday

I was sending a shooter to Neil Jones for a benchrest group measuring tool. Neil passed away April 4th of this year. https://www.rosefh.com/obituaries/neil-jones

That's as close a finish as I've seen between Bob and Jeff in the UL grand. It would be tough to get beat by 0.0001". Congratulations Bob and Jeff. t

7 seconds between shots is a non starter for me as to using it to measure targets at a benchrest match. It's not that hard to have all 5 shots on the record target in 15 to 20 seconds or less. In 20 seconds, you can pause for your flags to finish a group.

I know this is an old thread, but just saw it. My Young rail gun is identical to yours same color with the integral block in the I beam. It may not shoot any better than the bolted on barrel block but it makes sense and would be a bear to make on a manual mill.

Or press them in with an arbor press if you have one which most benchrest shooters do.

Two gun hopefully

I’m getting the same thing Joe did when I try to post photos of the match reports. Too large a file. Jerry Kloppel won the VFS grand with a 500-33X. I was second with a 500-28X and Ed Bernabeo was third with a 500-17X, there were three 500’s, the next 7 had 499’s, the next ten had 498’s to...

Dave, good thing you’re a big guy to pick it up. ;)

I guess it depends upon the sponsoring organization. With the NBRSA, there is no longer a rule that the rifle has to be able to be lifted out of the front rest. Edgewood started offering a front bag that folded over the top of the stock somewhat after that rule was changed. Current front sandbag...

I really enjoyed the video. Great video of a good friend I've known for a long time. Videos like this do more to promote benchrest shooting than anything that we can do. Jimmy had planned on going and had decided to back out. I did a little mapping and it wasn't but a couple of hours to go...

Check the date on this post. This thread was from 2012. I’m surprised this post was still even around. The Super Shoot match starts on Monday, May22-25th at the Benchrest Club of St Louis. The Best of the West match in Raton is coming up the next weekend on May 27 & 28, 2023.

Just enough convex that a straight edge will rock on the forend is all it takes to be legal.

Look at neiljonescustomproducts.com. The web site at that address is working.

There are no telling how many 700 bolts I’ve sent to Dan in the past several years to fix the lack of extraction camming that the RR serial numbered actions had. When I get them back from him they are right. With earlier 700 actions, you could make truing cuts on the bolt and receiver lugs and...

Congratulations, Jeff. Way to go!!!

Just my opinion, you'll find very few who traveling by air to the WBC who will be shooting anything other than a 10.5 pound rifle. Most people bring one rifle and maybe an extra barrel, but that's about it as far as what they bring rifle wise to the the WBC. A weight limit of 50 pounds was the...

Bob, it depends upon what type of stock you have on the rifle and the weight you need on the barrel. If a barrel is going to have a tuner, I generally measure the barrel at the muzzle where I have the diameter that I need and mark the muzzle there then mark back 22” and figure out what the...

Al, it’s been so long ago that I don’t remember who was involved or not or the details of even what was being discussed. There were a few people in some of the discussions who seemed to want to argue about anything. I know you’ve seen those posts in the past. I’ve talked to people at matches...

Jim, I think some of what has happened here was caused my conflict between posters. The my way is the only way attitudes instead of people realizing that there are different ways to get to the same result. Plus a lot of discussion has moved to Facebook for good or for bad. Easier medium to use...
