Are there any factory sporter rifles which might do well in the new ARA Sporter competitions starting next year. For example: Anschutz 1416 HB, Remington Custom Classic 547, Weatherby Mark XXII,...

You mentioned you were allowing the barrel to touch the end of the forearm. That would seem to defeat the purpose of floating the barrel--to allow it to vibrate without the stock's influence. Also,...

A friend of mine had one of the earlier Hoehn/Harrell tuners--not threaded. He threaded it and now uses the weights or J&J Slide. The cylinder is the same, only the presence or adsence of threads...

I thought most folks had decided that the tuner settings and and addition of weights were used to effect the vibration such that the muzzle was still when the bullet left the bore of the rifle. My...

I have a 17 3/4 twist Benchmark 2 groove reverse taper barrel on my Anschutz 2013. When I shoot EPS ammo (Eley Match EPS, Club EPS or Biathalon--all EPS bullets) I get poor result until the...

There is also an UK forum which may or may not have some connection with the magazine -- http://benchrestdirectory.forumup.co.uk/

Both the magazine and forum are worth checking out.:)

The Hoehn weights have the same thread diameter so the one threaded on both ends can be placed between the tuner and slide. Roger's weights, on the other hand, have a different thread diameter...

With the "T" style benches, if a left hand shooter is next to a right hand shooter, it can get kind of crowded. While the "U" shaped benches are wider, you can put the benches quite close together,...

I started using the ARA plug last month and it is very much superior to the RIG plug, The ARA plug is make of a yellow metal which really contrasts with the blue lines. Add the magnifier and you'll...

I got a Gene Davis prepared Benchmark, two-grove, reverse taper, 16 twist barrel a couple months ago. It really hums. I'd avoid the slow twists as they seem to be very temperature sensitive. Gene...

John,

Don't forget us. I understand your the one who started the ARA matches in Sunnyvale, and we'd sure like to see you back with us. We've been getting 6-8 shooters each month, so there's...

I've found that SK Standard Plus is the best reasonably priced ammo out there. You used to be able to get it for about $270 a case or $3.00 a box, but hard times have driven the price to over $4.00...

Clips for any of the Wincher 52 rifles will work in the C model, even those made for the 52 Sporters made in Japan several years ago by Browning and a few years later by Winchester.

I like the idea of more emphasis on placement position and less on aggregate. On Saturday I shot an ARA match at Sunnyvale Rod and Gun Club. The condition were miserable, very high switching winds....

Dan Killough carries both the Hoehn tuner and the VonAhern weight system.

124600 was manufactured in 1973. 124699 was manufactured in 1974. To look up the exact serial number go to: http://armscollectors.com/sn/winlookup.php

Hope this helps.

Friend Bill,

At what distance were you shooting (25 yds, 43 yds, 50 yds, or some other distance); and what target (dimensions of the X and 10 rings). Thanks.

Your friend Larry

I picked up Remington 541X from CMP last year, and had Brian Voeker rework the trigger (he did a real nice job). The 541X's trigger, unlike the 541T's is not adjustable. Even once Brian gave me a...

Check the classified ads on this site periodically. Also, attend some ARA or other sanctioned matches--sometimes participants still have the rifles they started out with. Check GunBroker.com or...

BJ,

Just thought you'd like to know about another CZ benchrest rifle. About a year of so ago a friend of mine purchased a CZ benchrest rifle with a Lilja barrel. He proceeded to win most of our...

Bill,

I'm sorry to hear you'll no longer be writing for Precision Shooting. I had discontinued my subscription many years ago, but re-subscribed when you started writing for the magazine. ...

Isn't there a short section of the vibrating barrel, when the wave is nearing, at and leaving its peak, where the angle coming in and going out is shallow, and the barrel movement is at it's slowest?...

There may be wind conditions your flags aren't picking up. Where I shoot we have swirly winds. I've seen times when the close flag is blowing left with a bit of gusto, the middle flag isn't moving...

Shorty,

I agree that shooting bullets of different speeds will result in different POI; however, I don't think that negate the Calfee method of determining how much weight to put on the tuner. I...

Maybe with the price of rimfire ammunition skyrocketing Federal will think about coming out with a high end rimfire cartridge again. I sure miss their Ultra Match. At the end of Federals run, CMP...
