Centerfire Discussions / Is it worthwhile owning reamers?
« on: January 03, 2020, 10:32:21 AM »
Hi all,

I'm curious, is there really value for a shooter to own the reamer in BR? 

(edited to fix a spelling mistake)

Centerfire Discussions / Things to look for when buying a used BR rifle?
« on: July 28, 2017, 03:44:49 PM »
Hi all,

I'm considering picking up a used BR rifle from a friend of a friend and I'm curious what I should look (or look out) for when buying?  For 6PPC barrel round count is important, plus weight so I am in the proper class (I believe the rifle is LV but not 100%).  Any other ideas what to do?

Thanks,

Off Topic / Twin City Rifle Range contact (and a question)
« on: March 26, 2016, 06:11:38 PM »
Does anyone know how to contact Twin City Rifle Range in Ontario?  I'd like to visit, perhaps sign up for a membership (or sign up to the waiting list for a membership).  Also, could any members comment on the range distances?  A friend mentioned 600m, but I find that hard to believe.

Thanks,

Centerfire Discussions / 6PPC - .262 or .269 (or to turn, or not)
« on: March 14, 2012, 05:01:55 PM »
Hi all,

So after far too long, and one economy related job-loss, I've saved up enough to seriously consider my first BR rifle.  At the moment I'm strongly considering a Borden-built Rimrock rifle.  Money is still tight, so I'm curious what you think about .262 or .269 necks.  The hundred or so saved by avoiding neck turning does mean more powder and bullets for me to practice with.  So as a newbie, am I doing myself a favour by choosing a no-turn neck chamber?

Centerfire Discussions / Neckturning

Hi all,

I was wondering what your thoughts/opinions on neck turning were?  I know there are no-turn necks out there, and I'll admit that's tempting for a novice, but the consensus seems that there is at least some benefit from the consistent necks that turning creates..

Centerfire Discussions / Canadian Benchrest Equipment Manufacturers & Suppliers
« on: August 08, 2010, 09:05:56 PM »
Some time ago I promised a list of Canadian Benchrest equipment manufacturers and suppliers that I developed in my search for equipment.. finally, here it is.  Additions?  PM Rick or myself.

This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all Canadian suppliers.  Only those who participate in and support the Canadian Benchrest community today will be listed.  The only possible exception is the action maker PGW, as Canada has so few action makers.

Centerfire Discussions / Benchrest + related supplies in Canada?
« on: March 09, 2010, 03:49:28 PM »
Hi all,

Are there any shops in Canada that regularly stock supplies for benchrest?  Rather than order from the US, I'd rather support Canadian shops.  I know Robertson Composites has stocks, as well as Stiller and Barnard actions, and that Alberta Tactical Rifle will import Nesika and BAT actions.  There are several benchrest-quality barrel makers, and that's great, but who and what else?  A few examples would be rests, bags, bullets, reloading tools et cetera. 

Thanks,

Centerfire Discussions / What can I expect to pay for a used starter BR rifle?
« on: January 21, 2010, 07:06:33 PM »
Hi all,

What should I expect to pay for a used BR rifle?  I'm considering either a 22 caliber or 6, PPC or BR.  Should I expect to pick up another barrel as well?  Is it typical for dies/brass to come with the gun as well?

Thanks,

-- Stephen
