I believe Neal rolled up the carpet and locked the door. Mark

Question Are you more interested in maximum velocity, consistent velocity, or maximum accuracy? Is the barrel length for all three necessarliy the same? Mark

Congratulations Gene. I guess you weren't kidding when you said the pinned barrels worked just fine. I'm guessing it's not a stock barrel? Mark

You allow trolls across the bridge to shoot in your matches? Mark

I have seen them deep enough they hurt ignition. Mark

Best 22 for $500 Rich, If you could stretch the budget another $100 to $150, you could probably buy a used Anschutz model 64 off GunBroker. It would more than get you started. Mark

Good guess. A Noptel is a training system using a reflector on a target to measure your hold, shot, and follow through. Client software on a computer keeps score and allows you to replay each shot. The only bad thing is you can't blame poor shots on ammo or wind. :D Mark

John, Many of the best of the best 22 RF prone shooters use a wood stock. There is a theory that wood actually helps dampen vibration improving accuracy. I've been shooting and competing since college, but only became serious about outdoor prone last year. Perfecting the setup of my wood 1913...

Interesting, I see what you are saying. I have 3 and they have the spring piece and are clean, but rounds will still fall off to the left. Maybe they are worn; I'll check. I've seen others complain in posts about the same issue but never saw a solution. Mark

Let's be Fair The 50 yard prone is a gimme target. The 50 meter reduced A27 or International A50 would be a more interesting comparison. Mark

I think that about covered it..... Mark

Rounds also tend to fall to the left side of the ramp rather than sitting on top. It's one design element that could be improved. Mark

A friend accurized one and had to set the barrel back to get it square. Unless you want to collect CMP rifles or use it to plink, I'd sell it and buy a new or used Anschutz. Mark

There is a small metal channel/ramp that lays in the bottom of the receiver attached by a screw up through the bottom. I always feed the round into the chamber by hand to protect the bullet and wax, so I don't think you are missing much. Mark

Hmmm, it looks like loosing one hour of sleep last night has some folks more grumpy than usual. Everyone head out to the range for some trigger time. You'll feel better. Mark

Recoil Lug I think the problem is the nature of the question. With my limited knowledge I don't know of any conventional target or benchrest rifle that bolts into the lug. Many RF shooters do away with the lug. Where there is one, we work real hard to make sure the only place it touches the...

The problem is very noticable on the prone 50 yard or 100 yard target where there are 3 bulls stacked. Switching from the top sighter target to the bottom target or even the middle moves the POI. You can shoot a one hole 50-5X on the 50 yard bull but when you drop down to the next target it...

10/22 I've never seen one on the line at a prone or 3 position event either, which is slightly less demand of accuracy than benchrest. Having to single load one is a pain and could be part of the reason. I have seen a couple show up at club level silhouette matches but everyone I can think of...

Buy a 40X RF action and have Davis mount a Lilja tightbore barrel. You can use the same trigger, rail and sights as you do now. I'm pretty sure the stock should fit too (short action), depending on what you do with the recoil lug. I built a similiar 40X RF in a Masterclass stock with a Jewel...

Killer Book Bill, If you decide to write a book, consider wrapping the accuracy knowledge within your life story. Understanding how you gained your insights would be of great interest. Mark
