  1. The foresight blade is designed to me moved left and right of centre. Whilst not flush might not appear pleasing to the eye it might solve your shooting left dilemma.

    Adjust the foresight into the error, rear sight out.

    Try getting someone else to shoot it to confirm or eliminate user error.

    Have you eliminated bent barrel, over/under turned barrel, damaged front sight, damaged rear sight and very importantly and probably the cause, the bedding?

    The stock looks in good shape, I'm fairly sure you'd have no problems selling it. Sights look original, I doubt they're worth anything.

    If it's a benchrest setup then weight shouldn't be an issue. As a sporter, I reckon other options would be better.

    Weight is an issue with bench rest. A Light Varmint (LV) class rifle can weigh no more than 10.5lbs (4.762kg) and a Heavy Varmint (HV) class rifle no more than 15lbs (6.803kg). The barrel will be the bulk of the rifles weight. The weight includes sights/tuners and anything else attached to the rifle.

    However even the LV category is easily achieved with selective scope choice and custom made stocks. Gary Cane makes some super light bench rest stocks. If you are not going to compete then weight is totally irrelevant.

    In pretty much the same position and also found it confusing.

    Three different sets of rules just to confuse everybody, the NSRA being the most different. Bench rest UK conform to THE WORLD & RIMFIRE & AIR RIFLE BENCHREST RULES 2013-2021.
    http://www.wrabf.com

    UKBR 22 and Bench rest UK shoot very similar targets and have same categories for rifles I.e. sporter, LV, & HV. Major difference is UKBR sporter must be designed to be shoulder fired and have scope of max x12 magnification whereas Bench rest UK, any rifle under the weight limit, max x6.5 mag on scope. There are of course other subtle differences. Can also use rear rest which you cannot in NSRA. NSRA has different rules for front rests as well. Aaargh.

    The NSRA have published clarification to their bench rest rules, though theses need to be read in conjunction with the full rules.

  4. Hi Terry

    I have also found the various rules, for effectively what is the same discipline, different in lots of respects such as rifle build, scope magnification, rest specifications and so on.

    A number of BR shooters I know just pick and stick with one governing bodies rules, makes life a lot simpler.

    Take care.
