Steve In the first place I didn't know you were in Canada, now with that information I am sure you are correct. It is just plain hard for many Americans to think of Canada as a foreign country and with different rules, even though I know that is true. Roland

"My concern is the type and quality of equipment we all use and the time to put a rifle together. Right now a barrel takes about one year to get and bullets are about the same. How do we attract new interested shooters if it is going to take a years plus planning just to get equipment and...

So many choices in custom actions, ask 10 people and you will get 10 answers to which is best. I own both a Stiller Viper and a Defiance Rebel actions. Both are very fine actions and are up to most jobs. Defiance's lead time is pretty short, I believe they are turning out a action from order to...

XTR, I hear what you are saying and I also don't agree with this policy. However with that said it is a "Very" common practice in other shooting disciplines to have to belong to a State Association to shot the State Match. Never made sense to me but I guess it is just another way for them to...

"Viper" F-Class rest. The Viper Rest

Here is a link to the UBR ( Ultimate Benchrest) web-site they are the sanctioning body for these shoots. Gallatin is listed there and there is a schedule as well. There next shoot in Gallatin is this coming Saturday. UltimateBenchrest.com | Ultimate Benchrest Shooting Roland

As has been mentioned there are a few places to shot in Tennessee. I would add to that Oak Ridge and Tullahoma (AEDC) are two of the best shooting facility's anyone could hope for. The folks in Oak Ridge go out of there way to make a new guy feel welcome and they are glad to see you there. Jim...

If we are talking on the local level ( where 98.7% of all F-Class matches are shot) and not on the National or International level, then I don't see the Big 7's eaten alive all of the smaller cartridge's. As a matter of fact I believe and someone correct me if I am wrong, but our National...

If you are wanting to know what some of these rests weigh. My Benchrest rest ( pictured on here) weighs 61 lbs, while my F-Class rest weighs 29 Lbs. RS

I am using a older design Edgewood bag. I was able to get into a group buy and Edgewood reproduced this bag for this group. It is little taller at 5 1/2" and you were able to spec the space between the ears. RS

JBD, His a lucky guy then, The man's name who makes these rest is Bob Pastor, he does a hell of a fine job and the rest's themselves are a thrill to shoot off of. You actually wouldn't have to have to separate rest like I do. The benchrest model would work very well at F-Class just...

The type of rest you use is going to be a personal thing, and what fits your shooting style and technique. I do not like any type of Joystick rest, it's that personal thing. Just another gadget and more to go wrong. If you set your rifle up correctly and it tracks like it should you don't need a...

We will just have to agree to disagree, I stand completely by my statements. Catcoop, The 6.5x47lapua is a great round and I for one would encourage you to give it a try. I still shot a 6.5x47 in quite a few matchs and really love that cartridge. You do understand that will put you into...

Very nice looking Rifle, but it is not a dedicated F/TR rifle. Looks much more like a nice Tactical Match Rifle. As you know it cannot be shot in a registered match with the brake, so in this configuration you will not be able to compete for the match. The Magazine also is something of a...

There are many match's in and around Northern Alabama. I would be glad to discuss some of them with you, drop me an e-mail. Roland [email protected]

This is one of the best threads ever. I will add to this seemingly long list, The ---------- Well I guess not as every thing possible must be here already. RS

Don't over look Bill Shehane at Scope Us out.com. Bill builds one of the best Long Range prone stocks in the country, good guy as well. Roland

It looks like the OP has kinda abandoned this thread, I would like to address his questions and maybe offer a comment or two. XTR, makes an excellent point about the wind and the .308 and then wanting to get the biggest bang you can to compenstae for the ballistic's of the .308. We all live in...

Release triggers have been a life saver for many Trap Shooters, I know at least a dozen guys using them who would not be able to shoot at all without a release trigger. For those who have not heard of them they are a form of recoil control. Now with that said they "CAN" be extremely dangerous in...

Killshot, I have heard of this before many, many times. I do not have a clue if that explanation is correct or not, but I have heard it before. Today I shoot all custom actions and they have no need to have the fireing pin hole bushed, but I have witnessed blown primers blanking Jewell triggers...
