Welcome aboard Grant , Glad  to see your coming to Rosebud , always great to see new competitors getting into the sport, you will be in good hands with Rick, he pushed me down the slippery slope of real Benchrest shooting ,not just shooting from a bench a few years ago and Its been a lot of fun ever since ,  lots of great mostly untapped info to be found on this forum you just need to ask the questions, unlike some of the mainstream forums most on here actually do compete so you will get current info from real competitors,Since your just getting started maybe some info would be good, what kind of br are you interested in ? What's your budjet ? And what are some of your short term and long term goals? That will go a long ways in helping the people on this forum to help you on what ever path you take, it will save you time and money in the end. As rick said all the sanctioned stuff out west is group shooting , which is the hardest type of precision shooting there is. Also the most rewarding when you do it right.
As for scopes I'm with the other guys here who recommended the leupold and March scopes in 40 and up power. If budjet is a concern I think the 36 weaver and such can be found for about half the price
Good luck have fun and make sure to ask lots of questions ,good reading would be Tony Boyer's book and Mike Ratigans book , they have tons of good info.

Thanks

Rick deserves the credit , he does all the work to organize the shoots. Nice to see our numbers rising in large part to his efforts and the support of the club and it's members . Hopefully we can keep it going and continue to give competitors a nice venue to shoot at.
Thanks again

Deep pockets won't automatically get you a win. You do need competitive equipment . But it takes the whole package to win. That means being able to tune the rifle and read the flags . The best rifle with a hummer barrel won't win if it's poorly tuned and you make bad decisions on conditions , alternatively an average rifle will probably not win no matter who shoots it because about 10% of the rifles at the big shoots are wearing hummer barrels and are in the hands of good shooters .
Hope to see you at one of the shoots this year

Used to be most barrel makers were buying from crucible Since They got put under by one of the by auto  makers .barrel makers have been buying from two other steel companies , The general feeling is that the steel is not as good and seems to vary from run to run.(some barrels are going "off" in as little as 300-400 rounds ) the flavour of the day seems to be Bart's and kriegers with a few shilens for good measure, there are also some other brands but they don't seem to be as popular .  However we are always testing most of the brands out there at any given time looking for a winner .the deader the better is what you will hear a lot , meaning no weird stresses and harmonically dead . Lapping is also important as you said Bill . But the best lapping on a stressed barrel will not shoot . Stress relieving on the button barrels has also been an issue in recent times . Also a consistent twist rate on the button barrels varies from the hard inclusions  in the steel so where to cut them off is important. Cut barrels don't necessarily  have the twist issue the inclusions will show up as a possible tight spot  . That's where your dead on about the lapping on these Bill , good lapping helps them
Deep pockets won't

Sorry Bill , that may have been true fifteen years ago and I wouldn't know because I Wasn't shooting  br then,but today I would have to disagree with you . Having recently shot with some of the best short range br shooters in the world I can tell you these guys experiment and test and retest everything constantly and never stop looking for an edge no matter how small ,(bullets , barrels ,triggers, stocks, scopes, brass , powder you name it )  as for barrels ,the bottom line is  the reason you don't see any other barrel makers listed is because after all that exhaustive testing ,you take your best stuff to the big matches ( meaning the other stuff did not make the cut).these guys test batches of barrels now , just like batches of jackets the steel varies from run to run .consantly on the hunt for the best . There will be three br shoots at rosebud this year Bill it would be great to see you out there , the more competitors the better . And it would be great to meet you

One on each end ........ So say half a dozen rows .....that's 12 barrels so that means I have to shoot a little more as I'm a few barrels short and the wife needs those tomato stakes !

Sell them for cheap to a varmint shooter , or make your own varmint rifle , I'm going to do just that with one of my BAT's . (There a reason why they call them tomato stakes )

A big thanks goes out to those who have done all the work  and sacrifice to attend the previous worlds , I had a great time and really appreciate being able to stand on the shoulders of those who went before , I never thought it was a fiasco at all ,quite the contrary all the veterans helped us newbies feel right at home . it was great to meet George , Vera and Andy, looking forward to seeing them at the big shoots around the country this year,
as for the revised system of qualifying,  it was big of the WBC competitors from previous Worlds to step up and back the points system and for go any points for their previous input and commitment ,very classy.
I think we now have about as level a playing field as could be had given the circumstances.
we are all looking for the same thing in the end , to  travel around ,compete and try to finish high enough to qualify for the world team in ST Louis in 2015,if all goes well we should be able to field the best teams possible.
I suspect that this may only be a problem for the US worlds , but really it is a nice problem to have and hopefully by the time the new Zealand worlds come around
we will have even more competitors vying for spots on the teams to go there.
 thanks to the efforts of Rick P and other shooters/coaches out here, Bench rest is growing in the west so hopefully we can keep the momentum going and continue to add more competitors all across the country.
Hugh
