It was truly a pleasure to have known Jack for the short time that I did, I first met him at a shoot in Phoenix probably 3 years ago.  In September, 2025, I attended my first NBRSA group nationals in St Louis and knowing I was new at this he would regularly come over to my loading area to check in on me to see how things were going.  He'd give me short little bits of what he taught in his videos we've all seen online, it was great.  The BR world truly lost a great ambassador for this sport, thank you Jack for what you've done for all of us.   TJ

Rifles / Bat lv 3lug
« Last post by M.POLLEN on October 01, 2026, 05:05:29 PM »
Hello,
Have a bat 3 lug in a Scarborough stock.

Jewell trigger, action wrench and bore guide as well as an extra weight and cap for the stocks weight system. Tall rings and bases included as well.
Stock has a paint chip on the back of the buttstock as well as a few other small dents.

Has a 269 13.5 twist barrel with around 450 rounds on it.

Would like 4200$ but can negotiate taking the barrel off or even selling as a stocked action to save money if you have barrels and a spare trigger at home.

Should have pics up by tomorrow.

I met Jack last year at the Tack Driver match and was pleased to have done so. He dropped by Dave Tooley's fire barrel, where we were socializing after the day. What an entertaining and likeable guy! I was looking forward to seeing him again this year and am sad that won't happen. Bill

Thank you for letting us know Rick. It's almost a shock to hear this as he couldn't have been that old. Trying to learn and understand more about Benchrest shooting; I watched his many videos that were on YouTube. And I mean over and over again. It seemed it was almost a mission for him to help others develop in this sport. I only met and talked with him once in Kane, but I remember in the evening going up to the benches just prior to the shoot the next morning and he was surrounded by a crowd of folks and they were sure having a good time. I'm sure he is going to be really missed by many shooters. Make every day count! Stan.

It is with great sadness I report that Jack Neary passed this morning. Jack was at the shoot taking place at Shelby County this weekend.

For those who didn't know, Jack was a terrific friend to BR shooters in Canada. Not just a friend but a tireless mentor and promoter of all things BR. No matter how bad a shoot he was having or you might be having he could always see the bright side and offer words of encouragement to keep you going.

Hard to imagine how big a loss this is to the BR community. We are surely diminished. My thoughts are with his family and the hundreds, if not thousands, of friends he had made.

Attached photo is from the World Championships held here in Calgary in 2019.

does your budget include optics?
i would look for a rem 700 chambered in 308 win, with hs precision stock. have an extra nut put in few inches back from the front sling swivel so you  can run a bag rider during competition.
will be a 9 lb rig depending on your optic choice, which won't be pleasant to carry in the hills for long, or long strings of shooting on the bench; but sacrifices that will have to be made to allow dual purpose usage.
my .02 cents, but this advise cost you even less than that; so take it for what it's worth............good luck.

You are kind of describing a rifle that most of us on this board might find somewhat interesting but would be unlikely to buy or use. there are numerous reasons for this but mostly that we carry specialization just a little further. We all load our ammo and strive for precision over all else. In other words, while we may find the level of accuracy provided by rifles such as you describe, interesting, it's unlikely we would be involved to the extent that we could make recommendations. There are some shooting sports which overlap into the hunting fields, but benchrest isn't one of them.
I should mention, I don't believe you can legally hunt elves in Canada. ;) Bill.

Well worth the road trip to the Hat. The Medicine Hat Rifle & Revolver Club is a super nice facility. A big thank you to Dennis , Kelly and the other members that organized a great shoot that ran like a swiss watch. A nice supper and awards followed. Hospitality ++.
