Re: bench rests
Rick thanks for the tip I dont plan on going to BR shooting (at this point). Dad also was a avid wood chuck hunter and as a kid and he would take my sister and I out with him and we always were excited when Dad nailed one. Shaky, completely understand. We've probably overwhelmed you with ideas of g...

Re: General information re: 204R of mine.
Great seeing how this sport brings folks together to make some great memories. We need to keep sharing the fun of this sport so more youngsters get involved with it instead of letting it die. Copy that, Shaky! Our group shoots include friends, dads and sons, even a couple of grandpa's. It's always ...

Re: bench rests
Shaky, if you feel your rifle is not either recoiling freely in the bags, or if you prefer less friction, consider what I've seen at BR matches and have read on accuracy dedicated forums..... Experienced BR match shooters frequently use talcum powder on their bags to give better 'free recoil' charac...

Re: Ruger Hawkeye Predator .204 (~$1100) or Savage 110 Predator .204 (~$850)?
In regard to using CLR for the removal of carbon, there are many opinions on using this on rifles, especially on stainless steel. Here's a link to a number of posts over on Accurate Shooter in regard to CLR many may find informative and interesting: https://forum.accurateshooter.com/search/977608/?q...

Re: Help with my Contender
The method I've used for years is below. Zero range is always 100 yards. Use your ballistics program for your chosen load and make up a 'come-up' chart for the scope's ocular lens cap. I use Sierra Infinity program. Get your actual velocity via your chronograph at 100 yards. Then input all environme...

Own pic. Sorry I wasn't clear If you're using a photo hosting site, you can change the size there prior to posting. I consider a hosting site to be the best way to post pics. I don't use this site to use pics from my computer, so can't comment if that's the method you're using....sorry. Perhaps Ski...

Re: bench rests
Lookin' very, very good there, Shaky. :wtg: I found out some years ago that the bench support for the rifle was critical to top performance at the target. Glad you're on the way to a better bench experience. Here's hoping that 204 you've got shows similar upgraded performance. Tiny groups put a smil...

Re: bench rests
Secret, your humility is duly noted. Despite your dabbling, the end result of your rest is still impressive, and I'm sure it works very well for getting above the grass and weeds in great fashion. It sure looks great to me FWIW. I'm not a BR shooter either, just rats, but I've been accused of the sa...

Re: bench rests
Secret : Nice job there, sir, very well done! :wtg: I'm assuming you are a dedicated BR shooter by the looks of your design, also a skilled man in the machine shop. When it comes to our passion, nothing is considered 'over the top', and your example of front rest shows both your interest and skill....

Re: bench rests
Well Shaky, lot's of options on this one. My setup is what has evolved over 50 years of live varmint shooting. Not the panacea by any means, but I've used about every conceivable combination of bench and bench rest setup over that time; laying on the ground with a bipod, off the truck hood, from fix...

Re: 20 BR anyone
Barrel makers are people too, they have to stay in business or we're outa luck next time a barrel goes south!
After all, think about all the fun a guy has burning out that barrel!

Re: 20 BR anyone
jsh, glad to hear you've reached your goal with your 20BR...nice when a plan comes together.
Question: What is the intended purpose of this rifle now that you've found 'the' load? Seems like it would be a great chuck rifle for extended range shooting. Inquiring minds and all that.....

Re: My New rifle and new member
In all my rat rifles, I use the Remington 7-1/2 primer. As Skipper notes, it has a thick cup to resist the high pressure of the 204R and other high intensity cartridges. As K22 mentioned, it was specifically designed and intended for the 17 Remington, a high intensity cartridge. To that end, there w...
