Re: My first ever 250 benchrest target score today

Yeah, they aren't cheap. I just took early retirement and wanted to start a new hobby of benchrest shooting, so I joined the local gun club. My absolute outside budget for a benchrest rifle setup was $2,000. So, I did a lot of research and ended up with the new Anschutz 64 Benchrest rifle, a Weaver T36 scope, Anschutz rail and rings, and a Harrell tuner for a total investment of $1,950. I'm 100% happy with this combination for my type of shooting. Over the month that I've had the rifle, I've bedded it, tuned the barrel, and tested numerous ammo types. The ammo testing continues, and I also want to test for action torque variations in accuracy next.
Cordially,
Blanco
