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.

Benchrest remove only two factors, 1) the ability to precisely return a rifle to the same point of aim, and 2) to apply constant forces to the rifle from shot to shot.
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 .

[ 49 ] While standard rifle barrels taper from breech to muzzle, high precision rifles will often use a barrel with far less taper, called a heavy barrel , sometimes leaving ...
In 2007, Mark Walker created the .30 Walker - a .30 caliber version of the improved PPC optimized for use with 110–118 grains (7.13–7.65 g) flat base 30 caliber bullets. The .30 Walker was created for benchrest score shooting and has yielded impressive results with performance close to the .30 BR. [10]
The World Benchrest Shooting Federation (WBSF) is the international governing body for benchrest shooting, with disciplines for both centerfire and rimfire ammunition. WBSF was formed in 2001. WBSF was formed in 2001.
