I quit benchrest shooting because it was so much work it became a job , not fun anymore . The military rifles were much more fun . 20 years ago they were cheap and a new type was imported every week . I would buy what was showing up and then work up a load before the match . Always a different rifle . It was fun winning a match with something different like a M-95 Dutch carbine , back to back sub 1 inch groups . The strangest rifle I ever won with was a 10.35mm Vetterli rifle . It took me over a month to find a bullet and load good enough to be competitive . It was not the smallest groups , but they were dead center on the 10 ring and the big bullet hole does help to cut scoring lines and add points .
