Single shot RBRP or RBLP

[robbor]

Anyone have experience with a rblp rifle?

 

[David Wiggins]

I have 4 . I shoot from the bench and wouldn’t go back to a RBRP

This is going be dependent on what kind of shooting you’re doing. For short range benchrest, I prefer a rb, lp, re action. I could us a rb, lp if I had to. I don’t have any interest in using a rb, rp again.

For SR I think the logic long ago was rbrp for saftey issuses. With the increased usage of ejectors the switch was made to rblp for speed and the fact that modern actions are pretty safe.

I have a single shot one.
I like not having to look over to the right side to load or catch brass.
As a right handed shooter, it's nice just to keep looking down the left side.
Works great for a single shot if you are not in a hurry to load or eject the next round.

You can have most of the action companies cut one for you.

I have a rb lp kelbies i have to pick the case from. I like it.
Most the time with my RE i short stroke it and the case spins around backwards and i have to pick it out anyway !

I like all my BR rifles to have a left load right eject.

Depends on if you are left handed or right handed. I am left handed but I have become fond of shooting right handed guns on the bench especially smooth actions

I shoot a Borden BRM right bolt, left load and drop port that I really like

This is the cat's ass. Once you use a drop port you will throw rocks at the others

What is the rifle to be used for?

I agree.

Can’t speak to bench rest shooting but for colony varmints I’ve switched over to RBLP actions. I don’t want my brass getting lost in the weeds and having the port visible makes the process pretty much flawless. Left hand does the cartridges while the right does the bolt operation. RBRP was a bit frustrating for me.

I shoot F Class, am left handed and use RBRP. Much more natural and don’t loose trigger position. Also, much easier to use a spotting scope without movement.

Same here.

Having never seen one how does it work? Does the single shot ramp move out of the way to let the case fall down when the bolt is opened?

This for the win! I wish all my BAT bench rest rifles were drop port.

The drop port action is built on a custom single shot action. There is a cutout for an empty case to fall out the bottom of the action. Nothing has to move out of the way. The extractor location has to be designed for a drop port as well so the case can fall of the extractor.

That makes sense, but how does the new round you lay in there not fall down too.
