That would be interesting, may have to think about trying 100 instead of 50.I doubt Toman,Patterson and others will shoot the 100 yard match so there should be some interesting scores. Our match at Chickenfoot went well, only 11 shooters tho, guess it was all the beginning other range match's...
GeauxLSU, I personally don't know if this will help. I had a Suhl match rifle that didn't shoot very well after tinkering with it (bedding the action into the stock,trigger adj/multple attempts finding good ammo,etc) I happened upon an old post that shimming the bolt had helped others. I did so...
A few pieces of advice when shooting Rimfire Benchrest, Make sure your scope is zeroed in at 50 yrds, You can make allowances for longer ranges but usually all match's are at 50.Don't compensate by clicks on your scope unless shooting longer distances learn to hold of for wind variances by using...
Those are pretty good scores considering the conditions. I get what you mean on these type of match's. Most all of us shooting these rimfire match's used to shoot custom high caliber before and most all of us are far over the 60 yr age. Shoulders, legs, backs,flat worn out from yrs of working...
" If there are better facilities in the state, I'd like to know where they are. Serious question."
For strictly rimfire benchrest,it would be hard to beat the facilitys at Chickenfoot in Cedartown, Ga. We have an indoor 50yrd range (the wide pic below) as well as an outdoor. Both ranges have 25...
So how badly did you guys get slaughtered by the regular crowd? I'm thinkin pretty bad as the wind was up a bit today and the rifles you were taking to shoot. My money was on the guy with the Kimber 82 leading this group. Wasting money on match quality ammo only works in match quality barreled...

Great shooters deserve great recognition,but this man among men rarely liked to be recognized and instead put his efforts into keeping the sport/art of competitve shooting alive and helped to make it what it is in certain venues what it is today
Yes we are diminished as of late.Many of the greatest shooters ever are passing away.Augie Westergarrd who shot alongside Lones passed a few yrs back and I have one of his Winchester 52's on here for sale,maybe I'll just go ahead and keep it and look for one of Lones rifles to compliment it,Naw...
