What the Heck is “Tactical Benchrest”???

[Bountied]

Not alot of guys winning with 10/22s tho

I placed 8th with mine and I'm not that good. What semi autos are placing 1st? My 10/22 is as accurate as my CZ452 but follow ups are a lot faster.

When TonyG picked up a 10/22, he kicked ass. As did all the MARS 800 point shooters who won 4 matches with bolts and 4 matches with semis. Just not many top shooters shoot semi's as their primary rifle.

I'll give you that, as a general rule (with LOTS of exceptions), bolts are more precise than semis. My point for this thread is, that if you're someone thinking about trying rimfire PRS, and all you have is a 10/22 (the most common rimfire rifle in the US?), then don't concern yourself with the whole bolt vs. semi thing, and bring that rifle out to a match. Once you decide to drop down the rabbit hole, THEN start to think about what you are going to spend all your disposable income on.

When the top shooters pick up a 10/22, they win. Check out the MARS 800 scores. (Alas, I'm mid-pack on a good day . . . )

Hey "DeathBeforeDismount" of 5 posts - Identify your self at the next match and let's see what happens . . .

Steve knows me. I will be at the match on Saturday

FYI. Tony beat me by 2 points at quantico and that was with me not getting like 8 shots off due to mag failures.

You won't see top shooters running a 10/22 for the same reason you don't see top shooters running gas gun in centerfire. It's a non competive division. I say this as someone who just dumped $1500 into a 10/22.

I'm signed up for Saturday as well for MARS. My only issue is I normally shoot with a suppressor. Now I need to reconfirm my zero without it before hand. Thanks Biden!

 

[DeathBeforeDismount]

Yea when it comes to the rimfire matches, it's probally better to not run a can. The ammo is subsonic so it's already hearing safe but the big thing is shot timers have trouble picking them up so you could loose points on a tiebreaker.

I'll beat you all with my Rossi. After all, it was over $100 and so was the scope.

Bring it!!

Absolutely true, I am the match director at Bridgeville, we want people to come out and enjoy the shooting sports. I will make every effort to make necessary concessions to allow any shooter to shoot the matches. As can long as it can be done in a safe manner it is acceptable. The main reason we put these matches on is to give people of all ages a chance to have fun, comradery with other shooters, and an opportunity/ venue for shooters to test their skills and improve them. The environment can be as competitive as you want to make it.

This year the PRS Rimfire Series has multiple categories (Open, Production, Juniors, Seniors, Ladies) that helps level the playing field so you don't have to compete in a gear race.

The bench rest match makes it possible for anyone to shoot. Juniors don't need to struggle lifting a rifle that is to heavy for them and seniors don't have to contort themselves into uncomfortable positions.

Myself and the rest of the shooters want you to attend and be part of a sport we enjoy. Hope to see you at a match.

Czguy...did Bridgeville decide to keep the IBS Tactical class they did for a year in 2020? That sounds like fun to me, but from what I saw it was just for the year and was going to be decided later...if it's done, I really want to consider being a member for the reason...not always easy to make a PRS match

Are you referring to the rimfire "Tactical Benchrest" and rimfire PRS/MARS matches at Bridgeville, or the centerfire matches?

Ibs is not a discipline that I shoot, but as far as I know they are still doing it. I see it on the calendar when I schedule my matches.

What the Heck is “Tactical Benchrest”???
I thought it was $50 more than a regular benchrest.
