Gene Beggs and the SS

Gene shot pretty well at 100 yards but struggled at 200. He place 129th in the 2 Gun with an agg of 3733. Conditions were challenging

James, during the past few years, I have seen my competive nature slowly dwindle to zero. I love to attend the matches, visit with old friends and make new ones, check out the latest developments in equipment and technology etc., but I no longer have that burning desire to win that is so necessary to compete successfully.

My greatest satisfaction comes from developing new products and services, teaching others and advancing the sport of benchrest. I shot both my 220 Beggs and 6mm Beggs cartridges at the SS and both performed well, giving up nothing to the ppc's.

A great deal of interest was shown in my stock design and tuners. The tuners on both rifles enabled me to shoot the same load all day long.

I shake my head in wonder at all the contentious discussion of tuners here on the forum and at the matches. Often heard is, "Do you really think they work?" Of course they work! The biggest problem is, "Who do you believe?" Everyone has a different idea about weight, placement, thread pitch, diameter, method of attachment etc., etc. Many state their opinions as if they have spent years developing and proving what they say. I stand ready, willing and able to demonstrate my tuners and teach you exactly how to use them. They are standardized, predictable and repeatable from one rifle to the next. Here are the features and advantages over all the others:

1. By far, the lightest weight at only four ounces.

2. By far, the simplest. Two threaded collars that lock against each other providing rigid, simple attachment; also, quick and easy to adjust.

3. Standardization! CNC machined with 28 tpi which results in one revolution range from one in-tune condition to the next.

4. Machined from 303 stainless, which is unaffected by cleaning solvents.

5. By far, the least expensive of all the tuners on the market.

6. Easy to install.

7. Requires no cleaning and does not interfere with natural dissipation of muzzle blast.


Disadvantages? None that I'm aware of.

Tuner

The fact that I shoot the Prone Game (smallbore) and needing to get on board with a Tuner brings a question, do you make tuners that support a front sight (globe) or the addition of a Bloop Tube??

Clarence, my tuners are placed behind the muzzle and would not be suited for use as a sight mount. Depending on the diameter of your barrel, you might be able to use my tuner in conjunction with a bloop tube mounted front sight. What diameter are you barrels in the area about two inches aft of the crown?

Thanks for the reply

Gene, thanks for the reply and all the work you put into Benchrest shooting. Right now I'm not using a tuner, however I'll probably get a speeding ticket going to Brundidge Al as soon as they start winning the big matches. My desire for accuracy is still as intense as ever, however my health isn't at it's best.

I shoot every week at a local 100-yard range with some friends but I don't think I could hold up to a registered match physically. Gene, you are right being around old friends and making new one's is really what counts.

Good luck with your developments, you certainly put a lot into this sport and it is welcomed and acknowledged by many.
