He's got a point. That's why rimfire benchrest competitions aren't shot on the NSRA Bm2510 cards as in TG's pic - everyone at even a modest level would get 100 every time at 25yds. The cards used in a lot of leagues (eg Yorks) have a central pip to knock out for +1 so a card is scored out of 110.ratters wrote:Slightly off topic, but how do people NOT get possibles shooting benchrest with a scope?

Really! I wonder what evidence you have to that supposed fact?Kungfugerbil wrote:I refer the honourable gentleman to his own signature...TattooedGun wrote:There's nothing wrong with either of my rifles. i wouldn't call the Sako finnfire a ratty old sporter, either.
The winking smiley should have suggested that was tongue in cheek - obviously both are excellent rifles. The fact remains however that if you put a scope and bipod on the Anschutz it absolutely should outshoot the Sako.

Thereby ruling out the finest 22rf ever built (P94s) which leads me to conclude he's a fool .

You are correct about the bad experience with Sako, one replaced under warranty (bolt couldn't be inserted!), the replacement I am unhappy about; this has just put me off Sako as a brand. I am hoping to do a deal with the shop for the replacement (probably CZ or Ruger).TattooedGun wrote:I beg to differ. My sako finnfire shoots easily as well as my anschutz 2213. It's also magazine fed, ready for scope mount, bipod easily mountable via the sling button (as opposed to a euro rail which the Harris #6 adapter is notoriously hard to acquire) and it's great fun.Kungfugerbil wrote:* Wood stocktackb wrote:sako finnfire range

Yep, you've hit the nail on the head there.
I think the point here is that he's writing off one of the possibly best actions available sub £1000 because he doesn't like wood and has had a bad Sako Quad.
The OP mentioned plinking and target shooting, and whilst I do love my target rifle for bipod and sling shooting, it's not what I would call a plinker.
When we asked for clarification of what was wanted, no information was offered, however we can reasonably expect that an all out target rifle is not in the vein of what the OP is after considering it is to replace a sako Quad. (again, magazine fed, sporting style rifle).
Again, might not be your cup of tea as it's a wooden stock, but the CZ 452 that the rifle club bought for benchrest shooting out shoots the majority of our members bolt action rifles of the same style, other than the finnfires.Geek wrote:You are correct about the bad experience with Sako, one replaced under warranty (bolt couldn't be inserted!), the replacement I am unhappy about; this has just put me off Sako as a brand.

I did. We shoot based on these rules and cards:TattooedGun wrote:If it's so easy, give it a go. We get all sorts of prone shooters thinking it's a piece of cake, until they actually try it.
But I note that the person who won class B went clear - 12 rounds, 100 every time. This reinforces why the short range rifle targets are not suitable for benchrest, yet the NSRA are persisting with them for postal comps this year it seems?TattooedGun wrote: NSRA Results:
