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...

I’m a little late to this thread. IMO the majority of people who are shooting benchrest with fluted barrels are doing it for the reason that Earl is because of the weight savings on a gun that’s too heavy with the scope they want to use. I have an old horizontal mill that all I’ve ever used it...

I have a copy of the autobiography of Billy Dixon. What is really surprising is how little space the Billy Dixon shot with his Sharps takes up in the book. About a paragraph is all.

I just ordered cores from Charlie last week.

Congratulations, Bob. Way to shoot. You did extremely well in tough conditions against a pretty tough crowd. Thanks, Richard for putting on the match. I’d have loved to have shot the complete match. I got about 5 hours of sleep and made it home a couple of hours before the funeral. It was...

Email me at bryantcustom(@)gmail.com. I don’t want to put his phone number on here because of spam phone calls.

I hate to hear this. Wilbur was a good friend to all of us that knew him. It’s been quite a few years since I saw him at a match, but he was definitely one of the great ones of benchrest. Maybe not so much at the top of the leader board, but he definitely had a heart for the sport. He will be...

Richard, we still have land lines too as our cell phone service is spotty. Sometimes being out of range of cell phone towers is a blessing.

Richard, yes, put me on the reserve list. I tried texting but the phone number I have must be a land line.
