    Looking For a Suhl Stock

    Back in the day, Tim McWhorter re-stocked a bunch of them for Jim Williams. One may get one from either McWhorter or perhaps Jim Williams.

    Prayers for Manny Garcia

    I, like so many in the BR community, have been treated by Dr. Manny. He is very compassionate and skilled doctor and is always willing to help fellow shooters. My prayers are with him during this time. Get well soon Dr. Manny. James Mock

    Question about SR benchrest stocks

    I am lucky to have a Leonard stock made early on by Terry. It has the carbon fiber layers plus it is wrapped in fiberglass and finished with 2-part epoxy. I don't know when Terry stopped using the fiberglass and epoxy. He was a true artisan and will be missed by the shooting community.

    More sad news

    We are surely diminished. Terry was a quiet artisan and very nice man. He will be missed.

    Book on Reading Wind Flags 100-200 yards Please

    Walt Berger taught Eunice to shoot Benchrest and he used a camera to show flag position when the shots were fired. She learned real quickly and went on to win the prestigious Super Shoot. Eunice Berger was a great person and when we lost her, we were diminished. Walt set the camera behind her...

    New 45X x 45mm Sightron with ED Glass

    Sorry about the missing picture, but the site would not accept my picture. I tried several times but to no avail. The picture is found on the 6mm BR webste however under the scope/optics section. Good shooting....James

    New 45X x 45mm Sightron with ED Glass

    I just received the above scope for testing and am impressed so far. It is light weight (20.5 oz.) and passed my initial "square" test with flying colors. As a matter of fact it was the best in this test of all scopes I have tested. Below is a picture of the 5 shots taken (with 40, 1/10th MOA...

    The Benchrest community is very diminished.

    I just read on Facebook that Faye Boyer passed away Wednesday afternoon. She was in Canada supporting her husband Tony as he competed for the USA. Faye is one of those persons whom everyone loved. She was the only woman to earn Hall of Fame honors in short range Benchrest. However, she was never...

    Unfamiliar chambering in old benchrest rifle

    Butch Lambert may be able to shed more light on such a chambering. His friend, Red Cornelison (Sp /) shot a 23/40 which was a .223 with 40 degree shoulder. Yours is probably a .223 with 38 degree shoulder. I guess the cast will show you more. Good shooting...James

    Rattlesnake Match: Aug 17/18 @ Raton, NM

    Raton is a great place to shoot, but there seems to be a thunderstorm every afternoon. If you are lucky, the match will be over before the rain and wind come. There is a large loading shed and unless it is a very large number of shooters, there is plenty room. Good luck and good shooting...James

    R.I.P. Sid Goodling

    Sid was truly one of the good guys. Not only was he a great gunsmith and shooter, but he was a great man. We in the shooting community are truly diminished.

    Left the Range - Dick Wright

    My heart is very heavy as I receive this news. The ten years that I wrote for Precision Shooting would not have been possible without Dick Wright. He introduced me to Dave Brennan and helped me get started. Not only am I diminished by his passing, but the entire shooting community is. Rest in...

    Mr. Walter Womack

    Mr. Womack was a legend in LA and elsewhere. Although I did not know him personally, I did once own a rifle that he built. It featured a pre-war Model 70 action (1937) and a Timken steel barrel by Douglas (in very heavy contour). It had a laminated wooden stock and a 6x-24X Bausch and Lomb scope...
