Probably not. Steve has a lot of different rifles. Dana English has built him many good ones as well. Steve is a friend and I just wanted to congratulate him on his accomplishment.

Many thanks to all. Shot well at the 600 yard Orange Blossom Regional F-Class match this past week. Always a good time with great people. The rifle I shot was the first competition rifle I ever owned. Alex built it for me 6 + years ago. Originally built as a 284 f-open rifle. Bat M action on a lowboy stock. Over the years I have used it as an F-Open rifle with a variety of calibers. Also used as a Heavy Gun in IBS bench. Most all I have learned about "thinks that go bang" have come from Alex. I consider him a good friend and encourage anyone interested in upping their game to listen to what he says and consider having him build your next competition rifle.

Load for this match was 6 Dasher, 32.4 gn of H4895, pushing Bart's 105s. Primers CCI 400s. Picture is of the rig set up for f-class.

So you know what he looks like ---- From the last Manatee IBS Shoot.

BT1 - Steve Krauss.

180 shots and look at his score and "x" count. Unreal. Thinking he may have used the same Dasher he used a few weeks ago to hit 25 consecutive 5" gongs at 600 yards and win our steel shoot. Steve is dominating the Manatee IBS series at Manatee this season.

Also noticed that there were at least 5 other Manatee shooters in the Orange Blossom F - Class shoot at Port Malabar. I also know of other Manatee shooters starting there today to shoot in Across the Course and other classes. Maybe some day a Port Malabar shooter will try to participate in our bench shoots?

Steve is quite an organizer, operator, shooter and ambassador for competition shooting. Hoorah!
