You need to look into a Farley Coaxil rest with a joy stick. They're expensive, but they're worth every penny. Getting back on target is soooo easy with the joy stick. Check them out.

Re: Small Caliber Posted Results Shoot 2024

Peace brethren. I intend to offer at least two classes of rifles. I always listen to your opinions and they are welcome. I'm not sure about offering classes custom tailored to suit each individual's needs though. Perhaps we could offer a handicap for various known disadvantages. I said this before a...

Re: Small Caliber Posted Results Shoot 2024

"Last time" I knocked myself out for a competition that was not very well received. Let's just say the participation level was paltry at best. I'm not willing to continue going down a dead end road. You don't need this forum to go shoot groups or rats. You can do that on your own. I come h...

Re: A new hope-

Someone keep me from straying, please. Just to be clear, 204R cases are supposed to be 1.850 from the base to the end of the neck according to SAMMI case diagrams. I haven't found any available new brass that is near that long. If you have please, let me know where I can find it. The dilemma is that...

Just think if the criminals started putting red tips on real guns. That might turn the proverbial tables making you think they're harmless.

Re: Small Caliber Posted Results Shoot 2024

I have already developed a new target for this year. Not going to post it till necessary. You know how devious I can be. :twisted: I AM determined to make this an online type contest though. Just too much trouble for the meager participation number of the past. Separate Factory and Custom classes wo...

Re: lets talk powder.....

My PCP air rifle looks better every day. Watch out! Those are just as vulnerable to the lefties as any other thing they won't tolerate. It just makes sense to save every firearm you own versus selling them. That way you have something you can pass down to your children. Even my daughters have been ...

Re: How do the best shooters in the world resize their brass?

The first one interviewed was Speedy. He's in several other videos from Erik Cortina. Also notice that Speedy said that "we" are the ones that invented the S Die. Meaning the bench rest shooters. When Speedy speaks, you should really listen. He casually imparts wisdom like it's nothing. He...

Re: Small Caliber Posted Results Shoot 2024

I like the idea of at least two classes of rifles in this shoot-off, although it does complicate things somewhat. One a bone stock (or at least as close to bone stock as the rifle existed when it first came from the factory) and a second class of either modified or full-custom. Perhaps just two... ...

Re: How do the best shooters in the world resize their brass?

I have been using this method for case prep since I ran across it years ago. This is my Bible when it comes to case prep, especially for my bench rest 204R. Not so much for my Remington XR 100. I specifically remember Silverfox scolding me for posting this method. That's alright I'm a natural born t...

Re: lets talk powder.....

I've used Vithavuori N-130 and N-133. Started using it because of rave reviews over on 6mmbr.com. I forgot to take into account that they were shooting 6mm BR or PPC. My rifle was 204R. Got much better results with Benchmark or Reloader 10X.

Re: The plunk test

It's funny that you say you'll never own another Remington. The Remington 700 action is one of the most reliable actions I have ever known. I still have several. Of course they are at least 20 years old. Remington actions were used by the military extensively years ago. The good ole farm boys from t...
