Accurate shooting from a bench

[_Shorty]

I prefer my caldweld deluxe front rest because. Has better adjustability and not all my guns can run my Mpod.

But I found you are only as good as your bench.

Definitely. Not a good feeling when you’re sitting on the attached seat and you see your POA move when you shift around in the seat. Nice concrete benches that require a separate seat are gold.

Short bipod on the front and sand bag at the rear, has worked for me for years, no need to change, mind you I have only shot out to 1410 yards so by today's standards that may not be long range anymore mind you that's not rimfire but I do use the same for rimfire

Yeah, most rimfire long range shooters are not settling for any ranges less than 2000 m nowadays.

Here’s a Bi Pod rest made by Henry Remple in Alberta- Function’s Well and is Very Good quality . under $500

A distance of 2000 meters is very close to 1.25 miles. Are you sure?

This is getting close to the maximum range of .22LR, and far beyond anything practical.

I was thinking 'typo' - s/b 200 ? minimum.

I find more than enough stability from a decent bipod and good rear bag.

I also though practice a significant amount shooting off just bags front and rear and also shooting unsupported but that’s just practice for ORPS shooting.

Remple supplies the necessary proprietary hardware. That can be attached to your rifle several ways. I use T-nuts into a rail in both my Foundation stock and my Anschutz.

I can't imagine myself using a different bipod or rest. A one piece isn't in the cards for shooting prone right off the ground/snow.

Yeah, I was kidding with him for discussing centrefire here in the rimfire forum.

I have picatinny rail on a couple of rifles and my S M12 BR has a t slot and Henry makes an adapter to it with a picatinny rail on it
Henry Remple . He’s also a Very Good Gunsmith too !

In my opinion when using a tripod, the legs should be 90 degrees to the bore! If they are angled either forward or backward as shown in many photos on here, the groups will suffer. Before some of you blow a gasket, which I know is gonna happen. Im not saying great groups cant be shot off a bipod with the legs tipped but better groups are available with the same gun with the legs 90 to the bore.

Alright, Im curious enough to request an explanation. ……??
