A bit before my time as well, but I recognize some names. I think I only shot a couple matches in 2003, then got into the game in 2004.

Great shooting Harvey! Congrats to all!

Congratulations! Well done!

I shot both RBA and IR5050 in 3 gun format. I was a MD for both for years. I enjoyed shooting both RBA and IR5050 as well. Dave Burton was president of RBA when I started, then Scott Hamilton was later, then Jeff Braun, then Bob Collins, then maybe Phil Dorman or Craig Young? As I said I enjoyed...

Nice thread Tony! Merry Christmas!!!!!!

I'd like to thank everyone for their comments. While I didn't say it, I was basically wondering about the newer equipment, i.e. rifles/barrels/scopes/etc.. But there have been many nice comments. I guess one thing that hasn't changed is wondering how to get more people involved in the sport, and...

Meaning? Thanks for your participation on the thread, but i don't understand the comment. Could you please elaborate?

Thanks to all who have contributed to this tread, it's been quite interesting. Initially, I posted the thread to find out if my 10-12 year old equipment would compete in todays game. I guess the jury is still out on that, based on ammo availability. LOL I've always loved shooting of any kind...

Gentlemen, interesting observations, and interesting reading. Thanks to all who have contributed to the thread so far. IR50/50 and RBA 3 gun were my games of choice back in the day. I enjoyed, and loved the Sporter class best of all. Those games seemed to have declined a lot.

Thanks George, I like 52 Winchesters myself, have several B's and C's. Ammo was always the hardest part of the game.

PedroS, very interesting observations. Thanks for contributing. Rimfire definitely isn't like anything else. It takes a lot of determination, among other things. It is a very specialized game, and not for everyone.

I watched some videos on PRS equipment, and the game. I won't take anything away from the game, but definitely different from rimfire BR. I watched one of the smiths testing a new build without wind flags, and as he shot, noticing the shot placements, I was figuring how the slight change in the...

Thanks Tony! I still have a stable of BR rifles, and sometimes wonder how they'd stack up against todays equipment. With the right ammo, I image pretty well. I always enjoyed the people in the game, and like you said all the different rigs. When I started out, I was shooting a 40x with a factory...

Thanks Tony, I value your opinion, as you're been fighting in the trenches for year, so to speak. I still have an interest in the rifles and the game, and enjoy discussing both.

I haven't shot rimfire BR over the last 10 years. Got old and bad health caused to to have to quit. I notice some great scores, and I used to build some good rifles. My question to the experience shooters is, what has changed in equipment, barrels, and ammo over the past 10 years. I do watch the...

Great info, I'd heard ammo had really changed. Thank you.

Tony, I just cleaned up and oiled my old lathe, contemplating on a new build for a friend. I sold him a barrel that I had on hand, and ended up telling him that if he absolutely couldn't get anyone else to do the build, that I'd consider it. I'd like to discuss chambers and present day ammo with...

Interesting posts. I don't recall ever being worried over a "Named" rifle at a match, but I was always concerned the other guys might have better ammo. I always felt that my rifle was good enough for the task at hand. But, I digress, I'm falling back to the ammo post. LOL In a way I named my...

I always saw chasing ammo as part of the game, if you wanted to be competitive. Most years I bought between 8 to 12 cases, and sold off what I didn't need. However, chasing ammo was the worst part of the game, and most expensive. I don't compete any longer, but I do watch the results and scores...

Tony, Nice post. Those are some fine looking rifles, for sure! Sometimes I miss building 'em and testing them.
