Unfortunately due to COVID-19 we decided for the safety of all shooters we cancel the Bluebonnet Benchrest Match scheduled May 2-3. Due to all the restrictions on gathering in numbers we felt in...

I read this thread and I can say I agree with most every opinion here. Yes group shooting is on the decline with no real solution in sight. I live in New Braunfels, Texas and shoot at Dietz rifle...

Butch,

Grizzly web page shows a D1-6 camlock spindle with a 2" bore. I know Sam Duke uses this lathe and loves it. I have seen it run and really wish it was in my shop instead of Sam's:)

The Sako extractor did not reliably pull a PPC set up as a standard 308 bolt face. As you all know the difference in bolt face diameter between a 308 and PPC is about .032". I decided I needed to...

Sorry it took so long. Lightning hit our house and took out our electronics including my internet connection and computers. Attached is the overall Bluebonnet results. Great shooting by Gene B and...

Jonathan,

That is exactly what my old buddy Homer Strickland did to his 13" MSC (aka 'Prince') lathe. He removed the motor mount from the base and re-engineered it to be bolted directly to the...

Thanks for the pics. I get the weight thing and the split ring for clamping but I am not sure about the rubber? Is it for a better grip of the tuner or is it supposed to dampen? Just wondering out...

Glad I could help....too bad I had that weak spring. I plan to take the rifle out this weekend and see if the spacer helps. It was good to see you Duke's and tell Jason he did a great job pointing...

And a special thanks to Virgil for calling a great match. The Bluebonnet would not have run as smooth as it did without Virgil keeping everyone on their toes. Great Job!!!

In addition we had a...
