    Congratulations Paul Bendix !!!

    Two winners in the same car that traveled across the country to shoot. Well worth that long drive I'd say. Congrats to Todd and Paul. It was great meeting you both. Maybe I can make it out that way sometime and shoot with your group again.

    Home brewed rifle at the Nationals in Phoenix

    I was very interested in this rig. A great guy who loves to tinker and built up a good gun and shot non stop on the practice range for two days. I think he was the only shooter there with out flags. This gun had a lot of tuning and mods. The barrel is in tension with the Carbon shroud and...

    It's Over

    Awesome shooting! Congradulation to the people who won or placed. You all did a great job. I had so much fun and learned a lot, meet some great people in person and ate way to much. Benchrest puts a number on accuracy and shooting skills. Its humbeling to think you can "stack pellets", "one...

    Almost ready for the National's, just some finishing touches left......

    I am honestly going for meeting everyone. I dont have any expectations, Its Wedsday and I dont have my parts from the platers yet. They should be done later today. That gives me time to finish the front rest top plate. So if I get the guns together tonight I should get some practice in on...

    Almost ready for the National's, just some finishing touches left......

    Too windy to practice so I took everything apart and dropped the stocks off at the platers for a quick anodize. Hope to get some practice in on thursday or friday. Now I need to get the front rest top done. I have just been flopping the bag on top but I want it too rotate. If there is time I...

    Almost ready for the National's, just some finishing touches left......

    I started to make a new bottom in aluminum and noticed the bottom that is on it does in fact meet the rules. I must have had that in mind when I made it. My bag is a bunny ear and the boat bottom fits nice. I will still remake it as I want to add weight.

    Almost ready for the National's, just some finishing touches left......

    Yes, I am still working on the trigger gaurd. I was waiting for the grip to come in that I have a stock maker in Oregon making. It just came in the mail today. here it is, now I just need to fit it and make the trigger gaurds. And yes it does look like the HV gun has too wide of bottom rail...

    Almost ready for the National's, just some finishing touches left......

    They make weight and as far as I know there are wood, laminate, fiberglass and carbon fiber along with aluminum that I have seen shooting so far in matches. The forearm is 3" wide which is standard so I will think they should be OK but now you make me worry. Do you know something I don't?

    Open Grove Results 3-9-14

    I think Doug and Vipha need to get "Team Miller" shirts made up. Between Linzie, Doug and Tim giving me pointers and help it really made the shoot such a great outing for a first time. There are not many competition events where you see people give info and share equipment and pellets to help...

    Best Pre-charged .22 for under $750.

    Either one, the used AA 400 or the MRod would work out fine. I would say that the MRod would need a little loving to start though. Like previous poster said, a barrel and reg would be nice. Dan Brown sure can get them to shoot!

    Does a barrel tenon need an undercut at the end of thread?

    When I thread on my Prototrak 1630 lathe with conversational programing I run in full CNC mode and do not need an thread relief at the end of the thread. Can I just taper out the thread under the recoil lug and call it good. Or is there more of a stress riser issue this way and may be a...

    What 50 yard rimfire target to use?

    Thanks Paul, I forgot how many airgunners came from rimfire. I first bought a CZ 452 varmint and my airgun will beat it at 50 yards, I moved up to a Sako Finnfire Varmint and the airgun still wins. So now I have a Kimber on the way and will see how it does. So what is the deal with the two...

    What 50 yard rimfire target to use?

    I've just got myself one of those CMP Kimber 82's. I think I want to dable with some 50 yard backyard benchrest shooting. I want to scope it and try a target that is the most common standard so I can see where my level is at and if it improves. I looked here on benchrest central and see the...
