Hopefully not. I use it to hammer the feet on the rest down. Or sometimes to flatten out a spot for the rear bag so it's level.

Re: let's see your rigs

that bipod/stand thing looks like a tool used in surgery... lol

Re: let's see your rigs

2008 BCRA Int'l... the silver stuff is aluminum aircraft tape to keep (some of) the water out of the bedding as it had been just pissing down rain 15 minutes earlier.

Same gun, different 'pod, earlier this year... and a herd of RedTacGear bags

Re: let's see your rigs

the thing resting ontop of the barrel.. is that to reduce heat waves/mirage coming off the barrel?

[BradfromND]

Re: let's see your rigs

Here's my F T/R rig. I have to shoot in the open class though as my range only groups them in hunter and open class.

And my soon to be open rig. It will be going to Chad Dixon as soon as I hear back from him.

Is that a magnum metal front coaxial rest? If so, how do you like it?

PM if you would like. I'm kicking around buying one and would love some feedback.

 

[Killshot44]

Re: let's see your rigs

Eddie I'm pretty sure that rest is a Farley....

Photos?....... For F/TR this White Oak Match .223 makes a lot of .308s cry.

And for F-Open, a 6ARturbo40º...... Yeah, I like the Spacegun ergonomics.

Are you required to run Open class because this weapon is to heavy for Hunter or some other reason?

It's a 26" Kreiger, 4-groove, .236 bore, 8 twist.

So far so good. Sizewise it's between a 6BR and a 6Dasher. Shot several cleans at 500/600 and does well out to 1K with the 105 Lapuas or Berger VLDs
(does NOT like the JLKs for some reason). The 108 BTs shoot well, too, I just haven't had time to workup a load for them, just had the rifle built in March.

The "Hunter" class is basically for factory rifles. Savage target rifles are not allowed either. There really isn't anything factory left on it and the rifle weighs 17.4 pounds so weight for F T/R isn't an issue, it's just the ranges rules.

 

[280man]

Re: let's see your rigs

My rest is a Farley. I would highly recommend one if you can get one. Made in the USA and they are a very proven design that works great for both F-class and benchrest.

Yep... as an example, today the last string of the day started (for me) around 1500, and was unlimited sighters + 20 record shots in 30 minutes. I used five sighters and was done in under six minutes. The barrel was definitely 'warm'

Without a mirage shield or band, the heat coming off the barrel would have made things untenable after about 10-12 shots.

Here is mine. 5.56mm DTI 20" SS Bull Barrel, Stag Lower Bravo Company Upper, Wilson Two stage MTU Trigger, Bushnell 10X Elite, Caldwell 9-13" Bipod, Magpul PRS.

A real frankenrifle. But, I can shoot 1/2 inch groups at a 100 yds from the bench. They get a bit bigger from the prone position, but I can live with it. Looking for a scope with a bit higher mag to improve this a bit, but I can live with this as is for a while.

Re: let's see your rigs

why not.its the only rifle i have.i know recoil and cost are high but like i said it all i have.

 

[memilanuk]

Re: let's see your rigs

Because of the brake... not exactly compliant with the established F-class rules. Some places make exceptions (more power to 'em) and just squad the braked guns together away from everybody else. I'm all for shooting what you got, and like I said, it sounds like a sweet rig.

Re: let's see your rigs

Here is my F Open gun built by Tim Click. I waited long and hard for this one. Anyway here are the specs

Badger 2nd gen M2008 Action
Badger M5 DBM
R&D Precision RAD Latch
Rifle Basix trigger
Manners T5A in Todd Jackson Multicam (
26" Bartlein 7.5 twist MTU Profile Chambered in 243 win match
Fluted bolt by Kampfeld
Machine work, assembly, fitting, tuning, bedding, cerakote, etc

In these pics Its wearing a 3.8-22X44ERGO USO in MOA/MOA configuration. I recently swapped that out with a 5-25X58 TPAL in USO's OD green annodizing and added a uso fixed bubble level.

I have shot this one in 4-5 matches this year so far and done pretty well with top 5 finishes in all of them. Not bad for shooting a tactical rifle off of an atlas in open class. I wont win a match with it unless someone gets caught slipping but Im having fun and shooting my way.

Re: let's see your rigs

rwest, that is a fantastic looking rifle, i love the m2008 action and the multicam looks great on the manners

Re: let's see your rigs

My only LR F Class/Fullbore Rifle is a my original Ghost dancer, updated to what I call a Stage II Dancer configuration.

The original (call it Stage I) started as a factory Savage 10FP with the factory 24" 1:8" .260 Rem barrel. Yes, they did make some, and our SH Ghost Dancer project (compliments of Savage and LL) acquired three of the very last ones available back in late 2002. The rifle was upgrade with a McMillan A3 Tactical stock, painted Ghost Gray. LL's had an A4. The three rifles all had SSS Triggers and Recoil Lugs; and the final touch was a Ken Farrel 20MOA sloped base and Burris Signature "Zee" rings. Mine was factory pillar bedded, and shot some riproarinhot handloads very accurately at 1Km/1123yd.

The stage II upgrade was the substitution of a Lothar-Walther 28" 1:8" Stainless BR Grade barrel. Back when I could actually shoot the thing to near its potential, it was capable of successive strings of 3-5 X's at 1000yd. Nowadays, I don't venture far enough from home to reach a legitimate 1000yd F Class venue and the rifle is currently dormant. That is likely to change back (mostly) over the next few months.

For the present, my F Class activities are centered on STP's FV200 COF. It is essentially identical to the LR F Class COF, with the two exceptions of a 200yd distance, and a target size reduced to 20%.

My rifles for this discipline consist or a Remington 700VLS .223, and a 1970's vintage Remington 700BDL Varmint .222. The 223 may be reaching the time for a rebarrel, and the .222 isn't even bedded.

When 'my ship comes in', I am strongly considering a L-W prefitted Savage barrel chambered in 6BR; for employing the Dancer more efficiently in the FV200 discipline.The .260 is overkill for such an application. Such an addition would fulfill my original intent to employ the Dancer as a high quality generic switch-barrel rifle.

The .222/223's would shoot very adequately if I was not hagridden by a combination of physical issues and personal technique failures. While this situation is sometimes very frustrating; it's also certainly enough of a personal challenge to satisfy even the most jaded amongst us.

Greg
