I am finally ready to start back to benchrest.
I thought I was a couple of years ago but it didnt happen.
No in getting ready to build a gun I have to choose an action.
Years ago when BR was getting started the goal was strong shot action.
Thus they sleeved the Remington action.
We have had many innovations and instead of a tight small action with small holes trying to make it stiffer we have actions with openings everywhere.
Left port right eject, the drop port and others.
How is it these actions are better or stiffer when we have all of the extra openings in them.
I look at the equipment list and it seems that Bat was on 96% of the winners guns. While I know some of this can be more like a fad or follow the leader cant argue with what works.
That being said is it due more to the barrels bullets powder and other components that we use now more than just the action?
Wonder how some of the greats would shoot with a trued up xp-100 action?
Any help would be appreciated.
