Benchrest

Hey guys I've recently taken to 22lr bench-rest competitions lately. I've been mainly a prolific shot gunner skeet and trap man but have fallen in love with the preciseness of bench-rest. I need a gun. Right now I'm shooting the new version of the Browning t-bolt sporter model. I love this gun but it's far from a bench-rester. For starters it's a sporter model and at best groups an inch and a quarter at 50 yards. Plus it has a four pound trigger and no after market kits. No barrels, stocks or actions. I do love the Tbolt action and would like to keep it for a bench-rest gun but it just can't be built realistically in price or time for one off custom work. I pretty much have my heart set now on an Anschutz but I don't know what model? What are the differences in the 64 and 54 action. Will I be happy with the barrel or will I be pining for an after market barrel? Which model should I get thats not 3500 dollars but will provide me with high quality. I want the most accurate rifle possible. My club shoots a 50 and 100 yard bench-rest match and the other clubs in my area shot 50 yard matches. You have to keep the shots within a quarter inch ring most shots to be competitive. Thanks for any help guys.

Take a look at Benchrest.com that site is benchrest specific and will provide you with better info on that subject than anywhere else.

I'm most likely the cheapest benchrest shooter there is.
$ 50 BSA Martini action old club rifle.
$ 100 BSA fixed powered scope (light, cheap, strong, accurate)
$ 200 benchrest
$ 200 barrel tuner ( ok I got it gold coloured, it looks pretty)

If you want top scores, you'll need to spend a pretty penny, if you're like me, a cheap rifle and a lot of mucking around can't turn a pig's ear into a silk purse, but you could end up with a small leather one....

ps it annoys the other shooters (who are trying hard) to see another smiling and having fun....

Reverend I enjoy nothing better than spanking some ass on the skeet range with my old 300$ side by side fox while those other guys are posing on their 6000$ kreighoffs. I can consistently shoot a fifty straight with that gun. I ended up purchasing a 64mpr
