Wild River Air Rifle (Grants Pass, OR) - USARB Report Indoors December 23, 2015 We had some darned close scores this match! Several of us felt we made progress understanding what our rifles like. Others, well they are still scratching their heads. Note several close scores. Congratulations to...

Wild River Air Rifle (Grants Pass, OR) - USARB Report Indoor December 9, 2015 Sorry I missed the match. It was tough duty sailing the Caribbean for 12 days on a 100 foot schooner. Looks like Ron & Dick have their Thomas rifles running hot & heavy. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next...

Wild River Air Rifle (Grants Pass, OR) - USARB Report Indoor November 25, 2015 It was another full house today. Dick Strever brought son Russell, and Jim Benson made another whirlwind trip down from Washington to shoot with us. Tony turned in his best scores to date. Shooter Class Equipment...

Pellet Head Size Pete I expect you will be surprised to find that the pellets inside the tins will not be the size written on the label. Those of us that own an air gage quickly learned that dome shaped pellets from JSB and Air Arms tins are usually smaller than the size printed on the label...

Wild River Air Rifle (Grants Pass, OR) - USARB Report Indoors November 11, 2015 We almost had a full house for our first indoor match of the season! We welcomed Oliver back after a long absence, and he returned with a vengeance shooting a great score. As always we appreciate the sacrifice and...

Great Scores Peter, you and your EV2 showed us all that the Thomas isn't the only gun that is capable... of course I am biased as my LV gun is an EV2 and IMO I couldn't do better with anything else. Paul, another 750 with 60+X setting the bar so hard to reach; great shooting Paul. Congrats to...

Recovery Thanks David, I have had both hips replaced and now both knees replaced, next year I'll have my shoulders replaced. For me the hip replacements were not as painful. Had the left knee done on June 22 and went to our match on June 24th. I guess I'll be the new 6 million dollar man... I...

Wild River Air Rifle (Grants Pass,OR) - USARB Report Outdoors October 28, 2015 The turnout was excellent, and our last outdoor match of the season blessed us with very favorable conditions. However, not all our scores were reflective of them. The “Against All Odds” award goes to Mike (Boomer)...

Wild River Air Rifle (Grants Pass OR) - USARB Report Outdoors October 14, 2015 Conditions were most favorable today with constant wind speeds. Frank & Tony both shot their best scores to date. Our next match is the last outdoor match of the season and our last Scoreline entry. We especially...

Barrel Condition Try cleaning the barrel with VFG brass impregnated felt pellets for 10-15 strokes after the first card. This is a dry process so the barrel will only need a couple of shots to return to normal POI. Mike Aber

Wild River Air Rifle - USARB Report Outdoors September 23, 2015 We are learning that LV is a different animal. Conditions for the first 2 targets were very consistent. Target 3 was another matter for several of us. We always enjoy having Jim Benson come down from Washington State. Shooter...

Wild River Air Rifle (Grants Pass, OR) - USARB Report Outdoors September 9, 2015 Ron & I were at the National Championships. Ron got the medals & I bought a cap. Thanks to Tom for running the match in our absence. Looking forward to shooting at the next match. Jim Benson may be joining us...

Here is a link to an article about making airgun barrels written by Dennis Quackenbush you might find interesting. http://www.quackenbushairguns.com/Airgun_barrels.htm Paraphrased from Dennis Quackenbush's article "Making Airgun Barrels" " Button rifling is quicker than cutting the rifling...

IMO custom barrels are not worth the $300-$450 I've paid for them in attempt to get a great barrel. In the last 2 years I purchased 3 custom barrels with a combined cost of $1200. None of them have been significantly better than the run of the mill BSA, Lothar Walther, and CZ barrels I have on...

Wild River Air Rifle (Grants Pass, OR) - USARB Report Outdoors August 26, 2015 It appears that shooters Frank Kodl and Tony Farcello are becoming club 'regulars', and we are pleased to have them. Welcomed guests were Jim Benson from Lakewood, WA and Wayne Burns from Ashland, OR. Shooter...

Wild River Air Rifle (Grants Pass, OR) - USARB Report Outdoors August 12, 2015 Thanks to everyone for running the match as I couldn’t be there. Conditions (per Ron) were about average providing plenty of opportunities for a learning experience. We welcome Frank & Tony to the club and hope...

Wild River Air Rifle (Grants Pass, OR) - USARB Report Outdoors July 22, 2015 The focus for those headed to Oxnard is to find that “magic pellet”. We continue the search. Regarding barrels, how clean is clean? Patch Worms or rods & felts? Research continues. The Thomas rifles continue to...

Wild River Air Rifle (Grants Pass, OR) - USARB Report Outdoors July 8, 2015 We were honored to have Mike Niksch shoot with us today. As you can tell, several of us are now venturing into the uncharted territory of Light Varmint. Some did better than others. Shooter Ser. Class Equipment...

Google "Airgun forum" There are too many forums to list. This forum is dedicated to Air Gun Benchrest. Like most big bore and small bore benchrest forums most of the equipment discussed here is insanely expensive compared with Crosman and Benjamin products with a different customer base. I...

Brrels are Difficult Some of my best shooting barrels were Tomato Stakes in a different gun. Just about the time I believe I've learned what makes some barrels work better than others I discover I haven't learned enough. Boomer
