Happy New Year to all. Winters are long and its easy to find one's interest wandering in directions other than Benchrest. A good time to read books by great Benchrest shooters, review articles in "Precision Shooter, or watch videos on the topic. I recently took apart the fire control of my other Panda; a dedicated score shoot rifle. Cleaned things up and changed the firing pin spring. When done, it was operating much smoother than my "Group rifle". So I took the bolt apart on that rifle again today. It's only been a month or so since I changed the spring. The firing pin and spring were covered in rust. Everything had been polished and cleaned...BUT...I blew out the bolt case and components with compressed air from my compressor. I used the compressor again yesterday to clean some parts, and water was spraying out the nozzle. Cold weather and forgetting to drain the tank, could have ruined a day at the range. Or worse.
    For what its worth; if accuracy matters to you, tear down your bolt and trigger at least once a year. There some great videos by shooters much more knowledgeable than I, that discuss in detail, the importance of the "fire control" in a Benchrest rifle. Speedy Gonzalas shows how to "Blueprint" the various parts to reduce friction. I have done this mid way through last summer and carefully polished the pin and spring ends as well as relieve areas in the shroud. Areas of wear can be seen on these parts where binding occurs.
   Looking forward to spring when we can resume our quest for the small group.

Hi. I have all the items you mentioned in your post...except; the loading dies. Should be readily available I would think.

Thanks to all who replied. I did find one but should have been checking here more often. Thanks again.

Further to my comments below, I did get 4 recently from Badger Ridge. Just changed out a 2nd one a few minutes ago. Of interest; the 4 I received are Rem. 700 SA. About 2 weeks after changing out the first spring, the rifle was suddenly shooting messy groups. Perhaps defined as "globs". It is cold to be sure but this change seemed odd. I came home and using a scale I have designed solely for this purpose; the spring pulled 20-21lbs. Down from 23. I machined a small shim (about .050") and installed it. Pulls 23 lbs 3 weeks ago and 23 today. Rifle also shooting dots again. Perhaps Kelbly's springs might be a better quality.  One I had from Pacific Tool and Guage, was more tightly wound, slightly longer and nice quality.  Pulled 22-23 for nearly 2 years but really expensive for just one. Be sure when you are done there is no binding on the bolt and I polish the firing pin. 1000 grip or higher.

Kelly. I sent you a post outling my many errors in setup. A mentor can really help in this regard.

I just received 3 new springs from Badger Ridge Indistries. You can Google it. Really fine folks, fast delivery, and good comms. For Panda's;  Kelbly recommends yearly spring changes and min. .240" pin fall.

SOLD. Bought this bag off a table at the Super Shoot. Appears  almost new condition. Benchrest Standard sloped bag. 14mm spacing; 1/2" between the stiching. F-class or long range bags are flat. Located in Owen Sound Ontario for local pickup. $180.00 plus shipping.

Hello. I'm new to this great shooting sport and see that Rick has already offered some very relevant information. There are many reasons why the answer to your question is an emphatic yes. The benchrest actions used by serious shooters in this shooting sport are built to very close tolerances. So close in fact that every subsequent barrel you may need can be machined by  a good Smith to the tolerances specified by the manufacturer (without having your action in hand) and they can be screwed on and be correctly headspaced. They are often very smooth and tend not to disturb the rifle in the bags during the shooting cycle and return to battery. This allows shooting more than once before a condition changes. The better shooters seem to prefer Bat Machine but I was fortunate some of the Ontario shooters helped me out by directing me to used rifles and my light and heavy rifle have Kelbly Pandas. I have seen "Bat actioned rifles for sale on this website at least twice in the past year or so. They don't wear our and can offer very good service. One of my Pandas is 25 years old. Someone in it's past reprofiled the camming surfaces and it is very smooth with very little "cock on close" while maintaining pin fall. I'm working on my other one to be the same. If I were starting out and had the means I think I would follow Rick's advice. The only other thing I would want is for my action or actions be dual port for a faster next shot. If you're patient and lucky or go to a few shoots, someone may know of a used rifle for sale. Good luck and welcome to a fantastic shooting sport.

This scope is only lightly used and was mounted on my Panda for one match. There are no ring marks and it has its original packaging and the sun shade. I have found it clear with precise adjustments. So much so I'm replacing it with a 45X Sightron. I have lots of pics available should you be interested.  $550.00 plus shipping.

Thank you Peter!! This is certainly new to me and I'm hoping one of the bags shown in the pics of the one I've bought; is a 3" bag appropriate to our shooting discipline. Best regards: Stan
