    How clean does the bore need to be?

    Applause for Gene Crisman in South Dakota

    The Dakota Benchrest Club in Tea, South Dakota held their first NBRSA registered tournament last weekend. Match director Gene Crisman, his son, and daughter in law did an outstanding job. They worked tirelessly in the heat and strong winds to allow us to shoot and have a great time. Always...

    2021 NBRSA National Score results

    Wayne, Thank you for all your work in running such a great Nationals. From a shooter's perspective, the match was flawless. That is due to the countless hours you (and others) spent in preparation. Not to mention, the prize table was incredible. I was a ref for the VFS. Out of all the...

    Better rifle setup and SHOOTER setup for load development from a bench?

    Mr. Gnitecki. I just finished up this write up and video (inspired by your original question and my non-answer). I hope you can find one or two things that you can apply to your current setup. Hope all is well...

    Better rifle setup and SHOOTER setup for load development from a bench?

    Hello. Just my 2 cents worth...and you'll probably give me some change back. All the things mentioned are important pieces to the precision puzzle. It is obvious that you care, which is a huge part of the battle. Don't lose that. As long as you care, you'll figure out the answers to your...

    A question for score shooters

    Hi Richard. Hope you are having a good winter. If you are planning on holding a registered score match - you will need to have a scoring reticle. Not just for world records - but for all scoring needs (X, 10, 9, etc) In terms of your 300 question; I believe the X ring is 3/16" = .1875 so yes...

    BAT Replacement Firing Pin Springs

    My apologies, my lack of proper terminology of mechanical parts leads to misunderstandings. I'll try to add some pictures to see if that helps. Looking at the picture labeled "on scale" = when you push down on the shroud the firing pin spring will not compress (break) until a certain amount of...

    BAT Replacement Firing Pin Springs

    It is pretty easy to check the firing spring poundage. I glued a thin pad to a small (3" x 2.5") block of wood with a hole in the middle big enough for the firing pin to fit in but small enough that the flat part can rest on it. (I don't know what the flat part is called) Take the firing pin...

    Savage BMag replacement trigger?

    Hello everyone. I have a Savage BMag 17 WSM with the factory accutrigger. I am wanting to replace this trigger. I really like Timney Triggers and they offer a lot of replacements for the accutriggers but I did not see one for the Bmag. I have also researched Trigger Tech with no luck. Does...

    Weaver scope repairs

    I use Sightron on my competition rifles and most of my hunting rifles. I have a 36X Big Sky (discontinued) that is a really nice scope. I also have a SII 36X that is nice - but the eye relief isn't as much as the Big Sky. Alan Orr at Sightron is awesome to work with when it comes to repairs...

    Greetings From Greeley Colorado At The NBRSA Score Nationals.

    Congrats to all the shooters!! The conditions were all over the board - keeping everyone on their toes. Many people shot well and it was a very tight tournament, but the fun part of Benchrest - there can be only one. A special congrats to Roger Tillery for winning the Hunter 200 and Hunter...

    To change a 10.5lb LV PPC into 30BR?

    I do not shoot 100% free recoil - but I do not come close to pinning the rifle either on my LV and Hunter rifle (actually my HV is this way also - that way I just have to learn one technique). I want my shoulder touching, but not influencing. The way I check this is by placing my shoulder...

    To change a 10.5lb LV PPC into 30BR?

    My first two score matches of this year I shot a LV 30BR. I am putting a new barrel on my HV and I do not have it tuned yet - so I took my LV rig. Here are my observations/experiences; 1. You do not get away with bad table manners shooting a LV rifle. Shooting a LV will magnify any flaws in...

    New guy from Nebraska and Benchrest

    Hi Bernie. I do not shoot rimfire benchrest - but there are quite a few that do in the Lincoln area. Check out the Lincoln Isaac Walton League East of Lincoln. They hold regular matches. Hope this helps Stanley
