Centerfire Discussions / Old issues of Precision Shooting magazine - online
« Last post by Kelly N. on January 15, 2024, 08:45:21 PM »
I'm hoping it's okay to post a link here, the site is a collection of old editions of Precision Shooting Magazine, as well as some others. The collection is being put together by a fellow by the name of Stu Redman on the Accurate Shooter forum. He's looking for missing editions of the magazine, maybe some of you here have some?

Club Events / Mission - January 2024 Benchrest Score Shoot
« Last post by mdumont on January 08, 2024, 10:22:07 AM »
Our January match attracted 11 shooters, our best turnout in quite a while - Thanks to all who participated. 

Weather was better than forecast, with mild conditions and a bit of sun. 
 
Once again, Denis showed the way, winning the Agg for the third time in a row, the proverbial threepeat.  Nice shooting Denis!  Denis also took the 100 yard in a tie breaker with Art and Allan took 200 as well as second in the Agg. 

Pete and Vlad organized the targets while Art wrangled them to and from the frames.  Art also took care of the scoring.  Allan took our money while Joe called the line.  Thanks to all who pitched in.   

Next match is February 4, 2024 where we'll shoot Score again.  Hope to see you all there.

...and this month's results - 100 Yards:



200 Yards:


 
...and the Agg:

BR Equipment + Components / Re: Remington 700 S.A firing pin springs.

Happy New Year to all. Winters are long and its easy to find one's interest wandering in directions other than Benchrest. A good time to read books by great Benchrest shooters, review articles in "Precision Shooter, or watch videos on the topic. I recently took apart the fire control of my other Panda; a dedicated score shoot rifle. Cleaned things up and changed the firing pin spring. When done, it was operating much smoother than my "Group rifle". So I took the bolt apart on that rifle again today. It's only been a month or so since I changed the spring. The firing pin and spring were covered in rust. Everything had been polished and cleaned...BUT...I blew out the bolt case and components with compressed air from my compressor. I used the compressor again yesterday to clean some parts, and water was spraying out the nozzle. Cold weather and forgetting to drain the tank, could have ruined a day at the range. Or worse.
    For what its worth; if accuracy matters to you, tear down your bolt and trigger at least once a year. There some great videos by shooters much more knowledgeable than I, that discuss in detail, the importance of the "fire control" in a Benchrest rifle. Speedy Gonzalas shows how to "Blueprint" the various parts to reduce friction. I have done this mid way through last summer and carefully polished the pin and spring ends as well as relieve areas in the shroud. Areas of wear can be seen on these parts where binding occurs.
   Looking forward to spring when we can resume our quest for the small group.
