Club Events / Mission - December 2023 Benchrest Score Shoot
« Last post by mdumont on December 04, 2023, 11:15:13 AM »
Our December match attracted a great crowd of 9 shooters, including Don Ells who joined us as a guest from Vancouver Island.  (A quick reminder that guests are always welcome at our monthly shoots!) 

Weather was variable, starting calm, turning switchy as a front came in followed by steady rain and mist for the 200 yard targets. 
 
Denis Lapierre showed the way, winning both yardages and hence the Grand Agg as well.  Don also made a good showing taking second in the Grand Agg as well as at 200 yards. 

Art and Pete wrangled the targets in the rain.  Art took our money and did the scoring as well while Joe called the line.  Thanks to all who pitched in.   

Next match is January 7, 2024 where we'll shoot Score again.  Hope to see you all there.

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

FYI....I just received 3 new 700 S.A Rem. springs from Badgeridge industries. Very fast shipping, nice folks, and approx. $50.00 Canadian to the door. This is for 3. If you shoot a Kelbly action, they work well and will pull 22-23lbs when installed. .240" of pin fall and 23 lb pull on the firing pin; are essential to good ignition sequence. I Change mine at least twice in a season
Stan,
Thanks for the heads-up. I just ordered 3.
Cheers,
Colin

Looking for an Edgewood rear bag.

Do you know what model you are looking for? I have one I would let go, I believe it is a mini-gator with the slick ears. I only used it a few times, then bought a BR rifle that came with it's own bag.

It doesn?t cost anything and there is no harm if you change your mind later about qualifying. rickpollock@shaw.ca

Club Events / Mission - November 2023 Benchrest Score Shoot
« Last post by mdumont on November 05, 2023, 06:24:07 PM »
With the cooler weather we had a smaller than usual crowd of 5 shooters to compete in fair weather despite a pessimistic forecast.  Conditions were quite mild, although some challenges emerged (as usual) at 200 yards. 

After a long absence, Denis Lapierre returned to show us all how it is done, winning both yardages and (of course) the Agg.  I guess only the experts show up in the winter, a mere 6 points separated the field at 200 yards.   

With Pete away, Art and Vlad stepped in to run the targets.  Joe took our money and called the match while Art did the scoring.  Thanks to all who pitched in.   

Next match is December 3, where we'll shoot Score again.  Hope to see you all there.
