I'm moving on to other gun games, 10.5# Myers 40x, 10.5# ULA, and 7.5# Sako/Jewell sporter with NEW Benchmark sporter barrel installed by Bill Myers is on the classifieds. Also some flags and windicators & a SEB Bigfoot bag. Cheers, Ben

Rimfire pistol or carbine at steel matches is pretty fun. I guess it is tactical, maybe. Kinda. I dunno. I never wear BDUs for it.

It takes two.

Random chance is the bugaboo that I worry about most in this.

I'll take the best beer you've ever tasted, and put it up against the best beer I've ever tasted, and mine will be better. Hell, I know some beer drinkers who like your beer, and they don't even pour it in a glass. There may be good beers on both sides, but you can bet your ass that mine is...

I rather enjoy hearing of $5K pony ups, and necessary changes thereafter. Sucker for a spectacle, I guess. Next thing, I'll be reading the soap opera summaries. Is one coming on the market with a very SPECial barrel?

Mac, it is absolutely beautiful. Sunny, green, and cool. Summer and fall in Oregon is especially fine. How'd it treat you in in your town? What's the town name, Tickbite, AL? Dryhump, AL? Can't remember. ;) Ben

Whoa, that caught my attention! "...remove the receiver filler and the ejector/loading block and clean all the accumulated crud out of the rec..." How is thsi done, or is there a source that tells me how to do this? I disassemble and clean my bolt every 6 mos or so, but never knew a thing...

6-card match, 4 shooters. The match started with excellent conditions for the first 2-3 cards. We had a 3-way tie for highest card, with Dennis, Jerry Snider, and myself all shooting a 2250. I had a stinkeroo card, and Dennis kept his performance up, despite testing ammo, rest and guns...

On Sundays I have to go beg forgiveness for all the things I say at BR matches. ;) Ben

I'd send either Myers or Davis a blank check, with instructions to send back the best 10.5# rifle they can make, when absolutely ready and not before. The barrel would need to perform in cool weather. It would arrive completely tuned with whatever doohickeys they found necessary, with 2 cases...

They wouldn't be so disturbed if Ken wore pants when doing this. I wish my neighbor would.

Low cost for newbies: Spend some time playing Jim's free benchrest simulation game "BR Mania", with the setting at your actual measured average group size. http://users.sisna.com/jbross/showsec/update.html

2 questions, one serious, one not: "Next was the water test, this is shoot three rapid shots, the third round just pull back the bolt enough for the empty case to clear the chamber, not eject, then close the bolt on the empty round, then wait at least one minute, eject the empty, insert the...

Lynn, I was post # 35, and I'm not sure if you mean I was persecuting Mr Calfee, or not. My intention was to provide a humorous anecdote about how differences in the testing situation from the competitive range can bite one (me) squarely on the ass. There are a myriad of variables in this...

Testing conditions: Last year I tuned my sporter indoors at 60 feet indoors, adjusted the action screws, tested different ammo, found the combo that produced the best, roundest, smallest holes possible. I confidently took it out of state for a state or regional match and it sprayed like a...

Nice looking scores, fellows. Mac, I'm looking for good things from you in sporter now, can't let that Fiddler run it all the time. Cheers, Ben

We had a small tourney, with 5 shooters making it out. On the first 2 cards I thought there were some vexing, invisible conditions. Dennis thought so. Jerry and Wes thought so, too. Fred did not. After a bad first card, Fred tightened some wheels and gizmos down, and then shot pretty...

I wonder if some sort of integral sliding rail would fix all my problems....? ;)

I may have to get one to fit my Myers rifle. Very nice, Bill. Any idea when production is available? Ben
