Another thing I have noticed is those who think they have all the answers never seem to win a big match and never improve and those with an open mind who are constantly looking for way to improve...
In some countries it is hard to get ammo but it places like Australia we have reasonable supplies of Eley, RWS and Lapua and over the years I won nationals and international medals with all 3, I just...
There is no hard data but if you look at results from around the world for about the last 5 year or so, that is the trend that is showing up.
But if a lot of match result isn't a way of judging...
If you look at results world wide from the last couple of years there is a trend with which brand of action works best with which brand of ammo. But as with all things rimfire there is always...

The electronic scoring in the US tells you how close to the the edge the shot is and on a ARA target I had 3 in a row all .001" out and all plugged and were still out. These days I think I'd...

I wasn't there yesterday but on the first day with 2 of the LV targets shot there was not one thing protested.

PS Australia winning the team gold medal.
One thing to take into consideration is the angle on the outer edge of the firing pin tip. You are pushing a wedge shaped tip into the brass and deeper it goes the more it pushes brass out of the...

Having played with a few Hall bolts I can say for a fact the only way the firing pin can touch the barrel is if the firing pin is too long and any weights on or off would make zero...

It's about 33hour trip for me to get there and a fun match on the Thursday to blow out the cobwebs would be appreciated, so count me in.

The 180 available benches for the Triple Crown have been spoken for since March and there is a bit of a wait list too. Even has a few international shooters on the list of nominations.

The ranges in Europe are all the same and use a big vice, you put your action in a cradle and the cradle goes into the vice. The problem in Europe is they don't have cradles for BR actions....

Of the top 3 day 1 in the individual match, 1st and 3rd are using the same Falcon/octagonal built by Brett Wilson in Australia I don't know what ammo.
Richard Lightfoot in 2nd place I think...

When RBA started in Australia in 2004 it was run by Western Sydney Rifle Club and was part of the US RBA using the US targets that have smaller scoring rings. You'll find national winners from...

Who ever wins in France will be the 2014 world champion and whoever wins the teams match are the 2014 world champion country.
As they say, your only as good as your last match, so the rest...

Plenty of good gear outside the US these days, Craig sold the Duke, it's now in the UK. I have 2 new Turbo's one with 3 Gorham fitted ratchet barrels that Dan Killough tuned in his tunnel my...

The short answer is, not a lot of interest in representing their country overseas with US rimfire shooters. In contrast the top 9 qualifiers in Australia all want to go to France.

Norma is RWS in a Norma box. Some of the lots of Norma shot better than R50 but when Winchester Australia became the importer they didn't seem to want to sell to it shops and you don't see it much...

You need to talk to Sully he is the Australian agent.

Those who are getting beat will always say it's all about the gun, those who are picking up medals will say it's more about the the shooter.

That could be what they call the slave stock, looking at it it seems to be a return to battery setup. The base looks to be clamped into the vice the bit above slides and black piece on the front is...

Some of these Müller/RC barrels are getting out of the US, I've got 2 of them, so it can be done.

Brett Wilson was talking about bring in some of these barrels into Australia.
There is also a few of those barrels Gordon Eck fitted to our Turbo shipment that should be here next month,...

They are looking at reducing the rimfire program at world championships and one thing they looking at is dropping is sporter. Nothing will be decided until there vote in August so most people...
I think it comes down to how your brain translates the information from the flags and our brains all work differently.
In my case on a day when the wind is dancing around everywhere I’ll hold an...
