The trouble with one gun for all purposes!

[JDMock]

I shoot a BAT model B with Terry Leonard stock with weight system. This is a fine rifle and I have many barrels for it. I shoot a .22 PPC-short, a 6 PPC, a 6mm Dasher, and a .30 BR. It will make weight in the sporter class and it handles all of the cases well. It is a RB/Lp/RE and it ejects all of the above cases. My problem is that it always seems to have the wrong barrel when I get ready to shoot. Recently, I have decided to confine my shooting to matches to which I can drive and stay at home. This limits me to score matches and a monthly 600 yard match. Should I try to concentrate on one type of match....say 600 yard, or should I try to get another platform to gain more flexibility? I don't really expect too many answers but am just thinking aloud. Good shooting...James

James, I have a BAT B that I have several barrels fitted for. I also have several other bench guns, but they are set up somewhat dedicated. I'm always changing those barrels!

Gotta do what you gotta do to shoot james. Wish you could come to matches again but i understand.

I've used to do the switch barrel boogie, but I think you're better served by a dedicated gun for each discipline you're serious about. The very least would be a point blank group/score gun and a 600/1000 gun.

Jack of all trades, master of none comes to mind......

Amphicars and fish n ski boats come to my mind. But i want everybody to shoot as much as possible

I want to be as competitive as possible when I sit down at the bench too.

I'm there to shoot and have fun, but the real goal is to win.

You can fish out of a bath tub, but it ain't the best platform........

Mr mock is good enuf he will do well with whatever he goes with. I know he has good equipment for sure.

 

[alf]

His ability isn't the question......

Dusty, thanks for the compliment. Now if you would just tell those with which I compete . It sounds like you had a bunch on the run up at St. Louis.....great shooting. James
