The snow is just starting here in Kenora this morning. As Calvin knows, this week end we had to cancel our first Score match of the season and its tentatively rescheduled for Sunday June 12th.

Off Topic / Re: So you are interested in Benchrest and BRSC, what are your expectations????
« on: February 20, 2011, 10:11:04 AM »
I read this statement somewhere. "Where Friends Compete & Achieve the Ultimate in Rifle Accuracy"

BRSC gives me all the competition I can handle. It gives me somebody else"s butt to kick besides Phil and Gord and lots of other shooters to kick my butt besides Phil and Gord.

If a record happens to be shot by somebody a long the way then there is a  process to recognize it.

I second that.

For the past few seasons I have been using powdered carnuba wax from Sinclairs with no stock tape. The surfaces on my Robertson's stock were as smooth as glass when new. Now its scratched lengthwise from the carnuba wax particles. The scratches might be polished out but I'm going to cover them with stock tape.
Live and learn.

That would only cover about 1/4 of my order.

Centerfire Discussions / Re: Sightron 36x scopes.. opinions?
« on: January 09, 2011, 09:13:17 AM »
I have both, the Sightron SII36X42BRD is on a CZ452 for Rimfire score shooting and the Weaver 36X40AO is on the Viper. Of these two particular specimens I like the Weaver better. It seems a little brighter, a little clearer and the clicks are more positive although I have never handled the Sightron Big Sky model. The SII has the price point advantage of costing about 2/3rds of the Weaver and there might still be a mail in rebate of $50 to $75 depending on which model Sightron you buy. On pages 34 and 35 of Mike Ratigan’s book Extreme Rifle Accuracy copyright 2007 he speaks fondly of the Sightron which I believe is the SII model because I don’t think the Big Sky was around in 2007. On the 6mmbr website they did a comparison of target scopes http://www.6mmbr.com/optics.html and rated the Sightron as “best buy”. Although I prefer the Weaver, if something happened to it, I would put the Sightron on and shoot. If money were no object, I  am lusting after a Leupold 45X but get the best you can afford and shoot.

I just phoned the gentleman and he says he's not ready to sell it just yet. He's going to wait until spring and attend a match and see how he can walk. He's going to be 93 years old. If he can't walk very well then he will phone me. His name is Carl, they call him Charlie and he reminds me of Walt Berger.

I hope I will still be shooting Benchrest when I'm 93 years old.

BRSC - Benchrest Shooters Canada / Re: Selkirk BRS August Match (Top 5 LV/HV/2 Gun results)
« on: August 19, 2010, 08:37:35 AM »
I just want to compliment the Selkirk crew of Murray, Calvin, Grant, Lyle, the scoring/target crew and other volunteers for the smooth running shoot that made it easy to maintain focus and contributed to a high quality shooting experience.

Thanks for the good time.

Sounds like an issue of taking accurate measurements and choosing the right bushing. I could barely afford the gun and didn't have proper measuring tools until last month. Before that I had to take stuff over to Phil to be measured properly.

Are you shooting your new gun yet? How is it coming? Are you experiencing the trials tribulations and frustrations of tuning your first 6ppc by yourself or are you fortunate enough to have a mentor shorten up the process?

How about an update?

Do you have an official scorer or do the shooters score their own targets?

Does the scorer get to shoot?

The venom level in your bloodstream has dropped. You need to get stung. Quick find yourself a nest.

My cleaning table was set up next to Calvin's at the famous wasp episode. Calvin's table was directly under a wasp nest slightly bigger than a grapefruit. After he got stung we figured out what was going on. Gordy Wald was standing 15 feet from the nest and was zapped 3 times in a row. He stood their doing a little dance yelling OW! OW! OW! I never got stung all day because I ran away very fast every time a wasp came around. After the nest was knocked down, crushed, stepped on etc the wasps kept coming back and flying in and out of holes in the window frame. Fearless Calvin was busy plugging the holes with ear plugs.

Calvin has developed an unfair advantage of split vision. He can clean his rifle with his right eye while scanning for wasps with his left. Now he can look through his scope with his right eye while watching the flags and scanning for wasps with his left.

This year I plan to throw a can of wasp spray and some antihistamines in my range kit. Calvin needs a bee keepers suit and a smoker.
