A BCM Europearms single shot benchrest rifle. Benchrest shooting with a Mauser rifle. This is an example of the non-competitive use of benchrest techniques. Neither the rifle, the rest, nor the bench shown would be found in formal competition. They show, rather, adaptations of benchrest ideas for the more common hunting rifle.
A benchrest rifle, also colloquially called a "rail gun", is a rifle with its barrel and action mechanism built into a machine rest, used mainly for benchrest shooting. The rifle has no proper stock and its base uses adjustable feet to provide a stable position on the bench, and the rifle is finely aimed with horizontal and vertical adjustments ...
Accurizing is the process of improving the accuracy and precision of a gun (firearm or airgun). [1] For shooting sport, accuracy is the gun's ability to hit exactly what the shooter is aiming at, and precision is the ability to hit the same place over and over again in a
The lighter bullets of 105 to 115 grains (6.80 to 7.45 g) grains were needed. This caliber combination is very accurate for Bench Rest and Varmint for Score shooting. In 1998 Arne Brennan conducted a theoretical study of calibers and cartridge cases and expanded the PPC family with the 6.5 PPC for the AR-15 rifle.
Figure 4 illustrates both the horizontal shooting situation and the inclined shooting situation. When shooting on an incline with a rifle that has been zeroed at , the bullet will impact along the incline as if it were zeroed at a longer range . Observe that if the rifleman does not make a range adjustment, his rifle will appear to hit above ...
The 6mm BR / 6.2x39mm is a centerfire cartridge created for benchrest shooting. The cartridge is also known as the 6mm Bench Rest or simply 6 BR, and has also developed a following among varmint hunters because of its efficiency. [5] There are two basic variants of very similar dimensions, known as the 6mm BR Remington and the 6mm Norma BR.
Handloading is a fundamental prerequisite for success where the most extreme accuracy is demanded, such as in rifle benchrest shooting, [4] but can only be done consistently accurately following load development to determine what cartridge components work best with a specific rifle. [5] Customized performance is a common goal of handloaders.
The record was set shooting the 6mmBR Ackley Improved cartridge in good weather conditions, and the group was even centered in the X-ring. The IBS record from 2007 measured 1.397 in (35.5 mm), which corresponds to an angular size of 0.133 moa or 0.038 mrad .
