Amazing shooting........I believe Chuck Morrell's IR-50 Outdoor Unlimited Meters Record is 1499 x 114X....



Friends Matilda and Timo, is there any possible way we could get some pictures of the targets friend Walter shot?


Thanks in advance...


Your LBK and pistol fool friend, Bill Calfee
 
Interesting

I will say the Aussiie John Radford still holds the world record though with a 1500. If conditions held on day 2 both Walter and Pedro would have equalled it with more dots. Sorry Bill i don't have a photo of targets. It is now time for some French sight seeing.

I'm quite honoured to have my name discussed here and, specially as a world champs shooter.

Let me clarify something...

I have won the world champs in 2018 with a Grunig Elmiger, 1496 99x
The number of 250s at those champs were around 60~

Then I was lucky enough to became a great friend of Tony Harper, and manage to buy two rifles from him. One of those is TD.

I have develop a lot my shooting learning from everywhere I can, and from great shooters like Tony, Timo, Stuart Elliot, and many others. I do have my critical approach to tune gear and mental preparation too.

The TD was a great rifle but I feel it could be enhanced with some updates.
So, a more stable and lower profile stock was fitted, a KSS carbon straighline. Painted Ferrari Daytona yellow (I'm a Ferrari fan).
A new barrel has been fitted, Shilen ratchet, by Martino of GAC.
And, we, Ricardo from RS and my shooting team fellow, and me, took a critical look at the tuner. Noting wrong with the general principle of an Harrel, for exemple. We studied how it could be improved and did a couple of prototypes, that proved from the beginning better than the original. One key point is having a much better craftsmanship quality, much higher tolerances and a perfect centred adjustable weight. Also, the tube diameter and length was improved too.
So, in fact, the RS MK2 tuner, that I use, is an Harrel much improved, nothing more.

The TD rifle has been renamed, Centrada, as Bill explained.
I shoot Lapua on it.

I'm totally confident on the rifle, and it shoots very, very well, as proved by the results Nartional and International, like on last week World Champs, shot in terrible wind conditions.

My World WBSF curricula is:
2018 - Individual World Champ
2022 - Team World Champ
2022 - World Team record holder
2022 - Individual vice-Champ

I cannot stress enough Tony's support and providing me the tools to accomplish it.

Full results here:

As you can see, vs 2018, much higher scores and the number of 250 was crazy... so good to shoot along with so many great shooters!

117 X's....


Friend Pedro "centrada" S, and his amazing 117 X production, was the outstanding "pure accuracy" achievement at the WBSF in 2022...


And of course he used MD-PAS ignition to accomplish this amazing feat.


SAP ignition, of any form, is simply not competitive on the World RFBR stage....



This is why Holeshot Arms, and DiOrio Manufacturing, must provide the world of rimfire accuracy advancement with more "quality" MD-PAS ignition RFBR actions.


But will they?

Your LBK and pistol fool friend, Bill Calfee
 
We must have more quality MD-PAS ignition RFBR actions...

We must have more quality MD-PAS ignition RFBR actions...


Seekers of rimfire accuracy advancement:


We must have more quality MD-PAS ignition RFBR actions...



But will Holeshot Arms and DiOrio Manufacturing step up to the plate and produce them?



I don't know???????


I hope and pray they will.....................
