I'm not much of a follower in general. But Calfee actually offers ideas that often seem to work.
What have you got?
I agree with this.
Whether or not they work, they're still ideas. Gunsmiths and shooters have stretched rifle accuracy to the point where we'll need to think outside the box to squeeze those groups even tighter.
Think about it... People must have thought the first person to rifle a barrel was an idiot and their followers idiots, but look at where we are now.
People must have thought the first person to make a synthetic stock was an idiot and their followers idiots, but look at where we are now.
People must have thought pillar/glassbedding was an idiot's idea, but look at where we are now.
Now we've got muzzle tuners, reverse-tapered barrels, bedding blocks, 2-oz. triggers, choked bores, increasing rifling rates, and etc. etc. etc.
The list goes on... my point is that to reach the highest level of precision, we'll need to try new things. Some will work, some won't. Experimentation is half the fun, the other half is winning.
Consider Calfee an idiot or not and the people that don't scoff at his writings idiots or not, but some folks may want to have a more open mind about these things. The only way they can harm you is by beating you in matches.
Personally, I will take advice from a man who has smithed a decent list of record-setting rifles. He kind of knows rimfire accuracy.
