If you only ran 4 lots, you didn't even scratch the data needed to find good ammo. Also, your advertised speeds are all quite high in my opinion. Have you ever tested lower speed ammo? Is there a...

Several things posted here piqued my interest in a reply. Lidgard stock, I have one on a 10.5 rifle, curly maple. Weighed more than the vendor thought. I called Brent and he agreed to work it over...

100% agree with post #2.

Scott

I whole heartily agree with posts 203 and 204. One thing I will add, is that I am slowly replacing my Harrells tuners with Stiller tuners. Better tolerances on machining and three lock screws to keep...

I guess I'm an idiot in your eyes Mr. Harper. You name the thread opener "Ir 50/50 (275)" and firstly bring up the subject you couldn't get support for last year. Then bring up a non-sanctioned money...

If you don't like the scoring, don't shoot it. The fact of the matter is that if you miss so far out you get a nine, the 250 is still valid. In most, if not all of the IR matches I have shot, the 250...

Yes Tim, 'new(ish)', but a student of the game. Also deeply enamored to what I feel is the true core of what IR is all about, 3-gun/Sporter. Also the scoring system.

Captive audience?.....I can...

Mr. Harper,
Not so sure about your comment about Slick 'pushing the envelope' so to speak. Slick promotes the game of sanctioned RFBR very well, IMO. It was a money match, not sanctioned, and we did...

Thanks Tim, good to hear he's doing well!

Scott

Keith and Tim brought up some good points, as well as others, above. To my point, long days, and back to back weekend matches.

There is a darn good reason an ARA double point club tournament has...

True story. I tried a little over a year ago. He was one of my 'bucket list' gunsmiths too. Just didn't get there fast enough.
Hope he is doing well in his retirement.

Scott

Absolutely agree with the above. Happy this may come to bare.

Scott

They can't get the dovetails for the rings/pic rails consistent either. Published as 3/8" or 11mm for a certain model, better measure first before ordering. Even one of the most popular accessory...

Bruce,
Thanks for the clarification. Almost everyday I learn something new about the game! Also, as we spoke at the first 'Iorn Man' tournament, eye strain is an issue when the bright lights of...

Good goal, my Leupold has 1/4 clicks. I can deal with it, but it's not optimal.

Scott

No frey, not really that desirable. I just looked up the FX3's specs on Leuplod's website, and they are not good with consideration of the current conversation here. Parallax is set at 150yds and not...

Tony,
Absolutely agree. I don't care what target you shoot, adjustable parallax is not just a 'want' on a target scope, but a necessity.

Scott

If at the time, someone actually made a fixed power scope in the proper X power with the features for Sporter use, I would agree. As far as I know though, those scopes were discontinued quite...

Pedro,
I answered this same question on RA, but since some here do not participate over on RA, I will repeat here.

As mentioned by Tony, weight at 590g, is a bit 'fat' for IR Sporters here in the...

This is a cool thread, thank you Gene for starting it.

I consider Gene a good friend of mine and shoot with him a lot during our outdoor season. I have also feared loosing him on the firing line...

Haven't been here for a few days, and here is something I not only find interesting, but something I am interested in! In my limited experience, you can build a 10.5 rifle quite easily if you have...

The Weaver, according to an old ad from Optics Planet, comes in at 17oz.

EARLM, don't know how close you are on weight, but if you want a variable, March 10-60 X 52's sit on both of my 10.5lb...

Well, not to throw fuel on the fire and I don't know how Joe would do with a J.C. Higgins, but.......Joe has been messing around with a Suhl recently. He 'DIY' modified the factory stock and I...

I really don't think the IR275 was a failure because of how it's scored, it was what it was. A money match held at the end of the practice day (a weekday) as a support match to the sanctioned matches...

Hopefully we will see it at the ARA Indoor Nationals. Almost a month for shaking it out should tell something.
