Played hooky from work today and went to the range... Remington 700 .223AI 75gr ELD’s Bartlein 1-7.5tw Timney SWFA 16mq Built by shooter71 (shânè) Group 1) .688-.224= .464 Group 2) .834-.224= .610 Average .537 Nice shooting, are we allowed to use that type of front rest now? I believe they made m1919 re-shoot the black rifle challenge when he used the same type of front rest.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

What m1919 used is made for BR shooting and can pinch/hold your stock. I can assure you what’s in the pic is far from steady. Quite frankly it’s a POS and I usually prefer to stack a bunch of sandbags up for a more steady rest.

Now do it with a sling, bags, or bipod.

Cool, I will reshoot then and use this as with that bag it won’t pinch on my Coopers and I will take off the side bag stabilizers. Guarantee it will help as at least I will have finer height adjustment which I didn’t have with a block of wood and a sand bag stapled to it, or stacked sand bags. 😀

Holy Schidt!!!
Of all the underhanded, dispicable, rotten, detestable things a rifleman could do...
Pulling out that fine piece of precision gear for shooting tiny groups like those bench rest guys use has got to be up there at the top!
Somebody get ahold of Alyssa Milano, I think she'd wanna hear about this.

#goeatsomepudding LOL.... I can personally attest to that front rest being a rickety POS that gets made fun of often Short of your rifle being locked in one of those 60lb $900 benchrest setups.. who cares??? Just shoot the damn challenge and have some fun
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...? She's gone shootin..

F-Class....I'm not a bench rest shooter....but I assume that stands for Fu%$# POS rest?
Mucho credit to shooter 71 for the build and to rob for the trigger work

Real shooters just throw it on top of a range bag What we cant see is the mechanical front rest inside the bag . All jokes aside, I made one of my longest shots off my day pack. Hunting in the deschutes canyons. That shot was 648 yards. 1 shot, you know the rest of the saying... sorry I was confused about the front rest. That made my day, if they are allowed. I've been fu cling around with these damn sandbags, thinking the front rests were not allowed

From page 1 post 1 The rifle can be shot from any position as long as the shooter is supporting the rifle. Bipods, slings, and rear bags are ok to use. NO bench rest, lead sleds, or machine rest may be used. My bad if I misinterpreted.

Great shooting Robert!
Looks like it just got Real...

Count it, Don’t count it... no sweat off my back.
That front rest is hardly what I would consider to be a benchrest or machine rest. Comparing a $25 rest like mine to a $150 Rock BR... may not be the best angle.
Best advice I could give is to send schane an action, stock, and barrel..... go down to Big 5 and get a $25 benchrest and *poof*! 1/2” groups all day long!

It started with the same rules as the black rifle challenge and it allowed bulls bags so I really don't care.

Just like elementary school. People making fun of my name and nobody can figure out the rules to the stupid game.
I’m going back to the brass thread.
