Isn't that a Bat B multi flat action, and that rifle belongs to a well know shooter in the Seattle Wa. Area? It was posted on this site some years ago by the Forum Boss who the owner is. Then again being wrong isn't new for me. Good Luck.

If you are talking about rifle on top of 6mmBR.com (old site), this is Mustafa Bilal's BAT-actioned benchrest rifle of select Turkish Walnut from BestWalnut.com. The stock was crafted by John Pierce.

Yes that is Mustafa's rifle. I know it very well having shot against it (with Mustafa steering it) for several years. Hell of a good shooting rifle, built by Tom Dickson.

HI Les,,,the Hickory Egg shoot is a combination of groundhog targets at 100-300-500 yds (sometimes the distances vary) and then culminating at 500 (after you have fired at the groundhog and "know" where your gun is hitting!!??) with attempts at eggs....some events around the US use eggs only at various distances and the Bluegrass Baloon Bust (BBB) uses water filled baloons at 200-300-400yds...and if ther is a shoot off usually small candy suckers (aprox 1" in dia.) are used !!!!....these are some of my favorite matches....and at the BBB they have food that is as good as any church picnic you have ever been to,,,mmmm...contact George Coleman (George in KY) for details,,he organizes the event in KY and is a true gentleman......Roger
