Awesome, all off them just awesome
View attachment 1032822 2 of my newest SR score rifles. Top one, Farley Black Widow RBLPRE smithed by Dwight Scott. Pistachio and Carbon Leonard stock glued & screwed by Sid Goodling. Krieger 23.5" bbl chambered in 30BR with a Mike Ezell tuner, a B&A trigger, a Goodling built one piece Davidson base and a NF 42X Comp scope. First match I took it to in Augusta, ME in Sept of 16, I got used pretty HARD. Ended up in 9th with a 249-11X's. Went to the match and I knew it wasn't in tune, didn't have the tuner on at that match either. Fast forward a year later, that exact match shot a 250-23X for 1st place. Funny how you can shoot so much better when the rifle's in tune. Bottom Rifle, Marsh Saguaro RBLPRE Action smithed by Sid Goodling. Rare Screwbean Mesquite & carbon stock by Terry Leonard glued & screwed by Sid. 23" Lilja bbl chambered in 30 Thrasher with a Goodling tuner. This bbl was "Smokin Joe Entrekin's" pet project that he sold me. It's a seventy thousands long 30BR case. It was originally chambered for a Farley action, but I had Sid cut the threads off and rechamber it with Panda Tenons. I also have 2 other barrels for this action in 30BR and 6BRAI. It has a B&A trigger, a Goodling built one piece Davidson base with a March 36-55X scope. I went a little overboard on the stock, but I just love wood. By the time it was glued and screwed I have close to $3650.00 into the stock. Haven't had a chance to fire it yet, but I will this year.
Thanks Phil. Terry Leonard was excited about doing it. He said that he's never even seen screwbean before. He had it done in less than 2 weeks. Well like Dave Apple says, if it don't shoot at least it looks good. LOL.That screwbean stock is stunning..........![]()

Cheers Rushty
That's funny because that's my least favorite wood stock that I own. I never really liked Terry's Redwood and carbon stocks. The pictures don't do the stock any justice. Everytime you see a Leonard stock it's usually a Redwood. Granted this one is highly fiddled, but I'm not crazy about darker woods. I like a medium colored wood. Dave told Terry that he wanted an exceptional piece of redwood and Terry found one and this stock is the end result. When I bought it from Dean, I was only luke warm about the stock. It was just that I wanted a Farley BW. It just seemed that nobody had one up this way and I wanted something different. I was going to have a new one built and when I first met Dean in 2012 he saw that I was shooting a factory Sako TRG 22. I told him that I wanted a FBW and he told me that he was willing to sell me his because he wanted to standardize all his rifles to Bats. So I ended up buying it in Oct of 2012. I only shoot this rifle at 100 yards.@JimPag that bottom one in your second group of pics is stunning.

I shoot both my 30 Gorilla and 30BR just at 100 yards. I have my 30 Jag 2 and now my 30Thrasher and 30BRX that I will use at 2 & 300 yards only because I can get another 150 to 200 FPS more velocity out of those cases which IMO will help me a tad more when the wind is blowing. I've had and used 1 Borden, 6 Ezell's, 5 Goodling's, 1 Schmidt, 1 Dave Short and 1 Beggs. The last one is without a doubt the biggest pain in the ass tuner that I have. Mike's tuner is the easiest to adjust and is the heaviest at 7oz. the other 4 all weight about the same a tad over 4oz. I've only used Jackie's tuner in one match, so I can't give you an honest opinion on that tuner yet. I like Jim's tuner but I prefer a tuner that extends beyond the muzzle. So flip a coin between Mike and Sid's tuner.You have some great guns there @JimPag. Two questions. Why are you only shooting that gun at 100? The other question is in regards to tuners. I've seen several different ones on your rifles. Do you have a favorite?
Yup Keith, how could I forget that rifle. Bought it from Lloyd, put 11 rounds thru it at my home to find a quick load, drove 7&1/2 hours for a 100yd match and ended up in 1st with a measly 250-15X's out of 16 shooters. Brought it back home and sold it to you. LOL!Jim will recognize this. I got it from him last year. Its a Borden Rimrock rblpre 30br,R&M stock, Jewell trigger, RC Barrel & Weaver 36xr. I also have a Krieger with a Borden tuner on it for it but haven't put it on yet. Wanted to learn reloading before & decided to keep this worn out old barrel on there!
Thanks for everything Jim!
Keith
ps Jim, just figured out why my pics are upside down on BRC!!LOL
