I went with the Shilen, 24 inches, .900
I opted for Ace. I will give a report when I get it.What's everyone going with in the barrel? What's the general consensus? I know the shilens have a good track record...but man my Ace on my repeater is an absolute laser.
Keeping in mind 16.5" is said to be the peak velocity of a 22 lr, wondering if the longer length would consistently slow the bullet to subsonic prior to exiting.That’s the R0 contour, correct? Also, is 24” the current thinking on length? I’ve seen the debate over the years waffle from 20” (even 16”- 18”) up to 26” and every length in between. Just curious because 24” is what I was thinking as well.
What lengthI opted for Ace. I will give a report when I get it.
Btw, I am so close to ordering one of these I can taste it. One target with impressive groups would put me right over the edge. Just sayin.
No rifles in the wild yet. Only two rifles exist, and both are not in their final configuration.
Thanks Mike.
I have a question maybe you can answer off the top of your head. Jill and I have been talking about the new Ridgeback stock for the single shot. Do you know if the forearm width will remain at 2.5 inches as the current model?
Mike, thanks for the update. I little info from time to time will keep us satisfied. That's a fine looking rifle. Is that the McMillan F-class stock or some other BR stock?Ok, I realize you guys are anxious, and with good reason, but this stuff takes time and we're literally burning the candle at both ends right now. Yes, there are reasons I've not been as vocal and I know it doesn't make sense to some of you, but there are big things happening. On the other hand, I appreciate the confidence many of you have voiced as it relates to who we are and what we've been doing for a while now.
So, without further delay, a few pics of what we've been up to. I believe there are some amongst you that will see how serious we are about the BR game; frankly, we're not screwin' around. There will be real data posted here as it relates to what's pictured, so don't keep beating me up via PM about data, this is unfolding in an incredibly detailed manner, as should be the case with our BR plans. As far as we/Vudoo are concerned, there's only one way to do things and that's the right way. No anecdotal information or sniveling about SAP or PAS; no claims about passing tests that we designed and not sharing the protocols....this is new, this is better, and we believe you guys will appreciate what we're doing for this community as it relates to Re-defining Rimfire.

So if I wanted to order the full build, will Lisa know what it's called? Or can you tell us what to ask for? Thx for the response!Thanks RF99. That's not a McMillan, it'll only be available as part of what will be the full BR builds.

Is that a reverse taper barrel? Can't tell from the pic.
Mike,
I'm just glad you are going to bring a BR/F-Class rifle to market that doesn't require a degree in black magic (unlike most other high end .22's in this league) to have built by a ".22 specialist" gunsmith (lots of special "secret sauces", most of them).
I hope it will bring in MANY new shooters to enjoy these disciplines, which have been hampered (or scared off) by all the secret sauce and hocus-pocus.
I also think it will make the ammo companies step up their game as they realize MANY MORE people will be willing to shell out $10-20 a box for .22 ammo.
I just hope an American Company will do this.

Is it usual for a benchrest receiver to have the port on the left side?
What is SAP and PAS?
I may never shoot much benchrest but the stock is most pleasing. I presume no problem removing the barreled action from the benchrest stock and then reinstalling it. So up the ante for a full build.
Since some tout rigidity of the stock/chassis increases accuracy, why aren't chassis universally used for benchrest shooting?
Holy hell! That is gorgeous!Ok, I realize you guys are anxious, and with good reason, but this stuff takes time and we're literally burning the candle at both ends right now.

When I ordered my complete rifle, Jill told me the stock that they recommended was the McMillan Kestros, now there is the Burgess BenchRest Stock . I realize that there are constant developmental changes going on.
Which stock is now recommended? Also there was a distinct possibly mentioned of a delay in supplying the rifle due to availability of the McMillan. What will be the expected time of delivery of the BBRS vs McMillan?
H:Rick,
And to further clarify, the "Pin" is the firing pin.
The left port just makes it easier/faster for a right handed shooter to single load the ammo, and ejection works out better on that side, also.
You may need to shoot fast to catch some changing conditions, and this lets you use both hands to speed things up single loading.
Mike stated any bolt/port combo desired would be available.
For example, a left handed shooter would probably want a left bolt/right port combo.
A wood stock dampens vibrations better than a more rigid stock (at least that is the conventional wisdom).
I won't claim to be knowledgable but the information contained on an accurate shooter thread might help you.Could someone knowledgeable comment on what advantage, if any, the new Kestros ZR stock has on the Kestros?
Per Ivanhoe’s post, “It is called a BBRS, Burgess BenchRest Stock and we make them ourselves.”What stock is pictured in your pics of the prototype above Mr. Bush?
