Tony, I had a Flavio Fare on a Vudoo I had built. Liked the trigger very much, but not the workmanship on the Vudoo, which I sold on. Currently shooting primarily a KK500 with a factory trigger, a 2500X with a Jewell, a Turbo Mk 1 sporter with a B&A and a Flash Turbo also with a Jewell. I have...

It would be a mistake to dismiss the XTSP MK22. XTSP confirms it can be set up as the same as their Kimber 82G trigger. It's all in the selection of the spring set. The shooter would have to contact them to substitute a benchrest suitable spring set.

XTSP has made an excellent match trigger for the Kimber 82G for quite some time. I like it as much as my factory KK-500, B&A and FF triggers, and better than the Jewells. They have recently begun to offer a Mod 22 target trigger. They are a 2 stage, 4 lever trigger for Remington 700 actions and...

Does anyone know how to date/decipher older Eley batch numbers like those in the attached files? The box is plastic, so it is later than plastic box introduction in the late '70's. I have some Tenex with the same style top label, but that carries a contemporary lot code starting 1005, so 2005...

Well the sporter finally got picked up from the FFL and made its first trip to the range today. Shot it with the duplex reticle FX-3 while waiting for an M-8 with FCH dot reticle. I have quite a way to go to apply all the advice provided and shoot up to the capability of the rifle, but was...

I appreciate all the info & recommendations. I'm digesting it and rereading some of the prior threads. I particularly appreciate the cautions about rear bag set up. I missed that my first time through and haven't seen any particular sensitivity in my heavier rigs. Another thing I am curious...

Tim, good advice! I am definitely looking for an alternative. Already found out Leupold has unfortunately shut down their custom shop from conversion work with no estimate for when it will reopen. Watching a Weaver CT-6x40 w/ FCH and dot reticle and a Leupold M-8 Compact 6x33 with FCH and dot...

Thanks for the feedback Kent. I am lucky to have found a used sporter with a proven track record in IR 50/50. So it's nice to know that I have a rifle I can have confidence in as I grow into it. It will start out with a stock Leupold FX-3 6x42 with the fine duplex reticle. Fortunately I have a...

I have recently purchased a used IR 50/50 sporter and want to compete regionally once I get familiar with it. I have read the Tony Harper posts about IR50/50 and sporters, and understand his point about the strategy of prioritizing the 10 ring first over the X. I also remember reading somewhere...

Longer drive, but there is an extensive program of RFBR club matches at the Rattlesnake Mountain Shooting Facility in WA. See https://www.tcsahighpower.org/ pull down menu for calendar & match descriptions.

I don't know what the cost benefit analysis would show, but in my gut I think this could allow top end barrel makers to identify how consistent their barrels truly are, and which elements of the tolerances they hold contribute most to accuracy. I read about makers and shooters searching through...

Does anyone know if any of the major barrel makers for BR (Shilen, Muller, Lilja, Benchmark, Hart, Broughton, Bartlein, Brux, Krieger, Schneider, etc) use this barrel inspection technology...

Like Pat I live in an area of the country that doesn't support IR 50/50 competition, but find the challenge of the sporter class fascinating. Coincidentally, I have recently set aside a 6x Leupold in hopes of eventually crossing paths with a sporter on offer. I have been shooting the IR 50...

Thanks... I hope it's just a change of priorities.

Has anyone heard anything from Bill Collaros about why Waltzing Matilda changed hands so soon after landing down under? In July he had posted on Rimfire Accuracy, "...had a few podium finishes at my last few comps and starting to bond well with it."

RFS: Haven't seen anything for 2024 yet Keep watching the Eley website or join the Eley Precision Club for free and then watch their Facebook page for updates. Phil

Tony, I don't think it is nearly so dire as the gent on the video makes it out to be. CSG Holdings is a big privately owned holding company. The CEO is the founder's son and has been in place for 5 years already. In all likelihood he has been well groomed, notwithstanding his age. If you...

Thanks Lee. Going to have to pray for some virtually wind free mornings, or step up my wind reading. Working on both!

20 finalists have been announced. Five of the top ten qualifiers are US shooters. One is an ARA competitor and four are club shooters from the same club in Washington.

I think it's more like a throwback to the barrel channel pads of cork or elastomer since it rides in the barrel channel of the chassis. My 1930's Dubiel build on a Springfield Model 1922 MI had a cork pad under the barrel at the front of the forearm, and the practice was still around when my...
