Ok, rimfire benchrest shooters, imagine this if you will: 9 Sporter Targets shot at 2 different venues, over a 2 week period. Result, 8 - consecutive 250s in a row. 2248 out of 2250 points over 9 targets, with a sporter and a straight 6X scope. Yes, he did it again! Ed Hosier shot another...

Bob Griffin is the new match director for Wawarsing Rod and Gun Club and Wawarsing will hold IR50/50 matches this season. I expect the match schedule for this season will be posted soon on the IR50/50 site once everything has been finalized. Thanks Bob for joining the Wawarsing Club and taking...

Due to travel plans and other commitments, I won't be able to run IR50/50 matches this year at the Wawarsing Rod and Gun Club in Wawarsing NY. So far, no one else from the club has stepped forward to volunteer to run these matches. It doesn't look good for sanctioned BR rimfire matches at...

For awhile I've wondered how much does our equipment vs skills contribute to benchrest success. Everyone agrees you need a combination of both to succeed but how much is attributed to good equipment and how much is acquired skills. I have a buddy visiting me, up here from NC to do some deer...

It was a strange day indeed. First dealing with the sadness of missing our dear friend Ed Longo and then dealing with some very tough conditions that just got worse as the day progressed. Despite everything, we did have some winners and an occasional decent score here and there. Conditions...

It is with profound sadness and regret that I pass along the word that Ed Longo (known here as Team Windsor) has unexpectedly passed away. Ed was truly one of the bright lights of rimfire here in NY. He had a true passion for our sport that all who read his posts here could easily see. He was...

Soon to become THE most famous rife in RFBR history. I humbly present to you "The Un-Calfee" [/IMG]

For those of you who have been following my spearminting with an Un-Calfee rifle, (A rifle incorporating all those things that make for an inferior rifle: Stiller 2500X SAP 2 lug action, cut-rifled barrel, angled buttstock, conventional scope mounting, Jewell trigger), I submit the following...

I was out today shooting the Un-Calfee rifle. I just can't figure it out. I feel like Don Quixote - dreaming the impossible dream and tilting at windmills - and somehow succeeding. The Un-Calfee rifle is my new Stiller 2500X SAP action, a Rock Creek 5 groove cut-rifled barrel that was rejected...

Today at Gordon Eck's range we shot both of my 10.5 lb rifles to determine which one shoots better and will get the nod to open up my shooting season in Easthampton MA next month. The competitors: Turbo Mk 1 (old) RBLP, Muller Non-MI 6 groove barrel, Edge Stock, Jewell trigger, Sightron 36X...

If you were to set out to build an Un-Calfee rifle, what would it be? That is to say, a rifle built against Calfee's tenants of what it takes to build a winner. Well, I have my version. I posted here a couple weeks ago about testing Stillers 2500X at Gordon Eck's shop and how well it shot...
