why won't your rifle shoot in cold or hot

it's not rocket science but it is science and not old wives tales. friction and drag are the 2 culprits in extreme weather and the result is a timing issue when the round gets to the tuner. those without a tuner what do they shoot in biathilon? of course it's a faster round and why because of drag and friction a faster round offsets the affects of cold and when the round gets to the muzzle. if you want your rifle to shoot well in the cold tune it properly, that is good ignition, a good bedding job. good ammo and tune your rifle to speeds of 1045 to 1085 and it will shoot great. tune your rifle to one speed and suffer thru trying to shoot in adverse weather. it's not rocket science just common sense.
 
Jody, it all starts with varmint Al's web page and ends with a proper bedding by the best Alex Sitman. it's great when your rifles shoot in any temps.
 
Well i guess a book, is in the works?:rolleyes::confused:
You just can't keep all this valuable knowledge to yourself.:(
 
Martin

I'm sure its going to be cold Jan 9th and 10th at the Rocky River Benchrest Barn. Why don't you come on out and join us for the RBA Indoor Combo Nationals and you can show us just how well your rifles shoot in any temp.

I'll even let you time and tune my SPEC rifle.
 
jody jody jody

I bought your anschutz when you decided to sell and I am

VERY DISAPPOINTED

yoou dont want me to tune your rifle, I would bring some good stuff, never used before, even though I cant tune nuttin, I just listen to those accomplished ones and not the internet clowns at the local wifi circus outlets, probably located in the mall, just near the bathrooms and the exit

anyway any time you wish to sell another gun, I am here, waiting patiently

and martin , go to a match and lose for a year or so then spout off your knowledge,

If there is any off track betting I am in for a grand on Jody
(after all I need to make some money to get lots ready for my next purchase)

not trying to get under Jody 's skin, I just know he can shoot rimfire

OK use the biathalon comparision

how big is the target in inches and in MOA

how well do their guns group, NOT 1 BENCHREST GUN IN THE BUNCH of biathalon rifles, not even close,

that is the most ridiculous attempt at a comparision I have heard in years,
is it october 31st yet

Jefferson, Alex is in the process of bedding a jet black jtr stock. I'm sure that 40x cmp will tune up just fine. I'm sure you would like feed back from a customer.:D
 
DSCN0987.jpg I am so confident in this tuning system, the brown truck dropped this off 1/2hr ago and yes it was bought untested from Gene Davis and it will shoot lights out. can you do that with your spec rifle jody?
 
super tuner`s foot in mouth --again!

Never will take heed from spewing that unrequested bull ---- from that front lobe that your mom must have dropped you on when you were just a babe!!! Spare us !
 
Are you SURE Jody? You might be mistaken! I don't remember you winning more than maybe 5-6 big matches, maybe 7-8, not to mention winning 15-20 club matches a year, and all those pesky, junk 250-23X targets! How many of those do you have 3-4? All this bad shooting in the presence of a World, National, State Champion. Oh yeah, you are a TWO State, and Regional Champion yourself aren't you?

You might shoot better if you had a tuned gun, and set your parallax correctly............:eek::rolleyes::D;)
 
now I'm interested

These new methods could be just what my game is missing. Lets see Martin what Org. do shoot in. RBA ? NO! ARA? NO! maybe IR50/50, NOPE. O well Just go ahead tell us anyway. We are all ears.
 
marty shot in 2 matches last year. i'm not taking up for him in anyway. i'm hoping he shoots in many next year, but after all his chest beating i don't know if he will be able to show his face at a match in the country and be welcome.

he very well could be onto something and all this chest beating and hot air he is blowing could be hindering him from proving his point. he needs to stop stirring $hit and prove it to everybody first. then come back here and tell us how nobody but him can tune a rifle and set the parallex. till then he needs to stand back. he's simply making himself the fool of this site by not having the match wins to back up his ideals.


i shot in 5 matches last year and never came close to winning any of them. i'm a middle of the pack shooter and know my place. marty will find his place next year, but he may have to use a fake name to be able to shoot in a match anyplace in the nation!!!!

Marty's welcome at our range any time we have a match, we'd love to have him and everyone else who wants to shoot, and I'm sure these other guys would make the same invitation. Friend Martin is making matter of fact statements without adequate data in my opinion. I don't think he realizes how many bore sizes, and different twist and coutour barrels there are in RF benchrest . To make a broad statement and say do this and "guarantee" your rifle to shoot, well just won't hold water.
I don't doubt that he can tune his rifle, as can a lot of other folks:) I don't doubt he is a good shooter as well. A lot of the stuff he's exploring and getting excited about has already been explored by shooters on this forum in the past.

for Christmas i just want

him to go to a few shoots and then folks will respect what he has to say a little more,
and he will learn that a match does funny things to theories, even theories proven to oneself at home (breack into song home home on the range)

I apologize for being very harsh on him but dang it anyways,

we need more competitors that care and want to learn, (hate to see this wasted on theorizing)

In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath,
Runs the all-time loser,
Headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping --
Steam breaking on his brow --
Thank God, he stole the handle and
The train won't stop going --
No way to slow down
the train, it won't slow down
no marty just won't slow down...can't slow down:D:D)chill:)cool:

Click to expand...

the brake handle is pinned in on locomotives. has been for a long time. the sad thing is martin could put the air on and stop the train. he simply won't!!!
 
for 10 years everyone was told how a barrel vibrated. it was wrong! is it a coincidence that anschutz went a different direction? are their engineers wrong. I visit varmint Al's web page several times a week and not one time has any from the scientific community pointed to his work and said it's wrong. not once. not one from engineering or science questioning anschutz engineers. wonder why. everyone for 10 years chased the rifle maker who said a barrel vibrated a certain way and he was and is wrong. all work from that point forward is tainted. plain and simple
