Anyone Shoot Rimfire Benchrest? - 07/20/15
I'm looking for info from those members who shoot rimfire benchrest. I've been researching benchrest as another way to play and am trying to learn more about the rifles used.
I see very few people shooting Anschutz rifles, which I've always assumed were the best option, and instead are shooting a variety of custom actions from Hall, 10X, Stiller, Turbo, etc...
Recently, there was the first Triple Crown match at a local range. The match incorporated IR50/50, ARA and PSL. I didn't get to attend the match but from what I have heard, there was a wide variety of actions used.
It seems like there is no clear cut winner in terms of barrels, but the stocks are a little easier to choose. Optics seem to range from Weaver T-36 on the cheaper end to Leupold Competition and higher to Nightforce Competition and March.
Does anyone here shoot benchrest? What rifle combo did you use to start?
