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.

Thanks Pete.

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
