New Elesio H1 Rimfire Tubegun Kit from Competition Machine
Gary Elesio of Competition Machine has come up with a new product for smallbore shooters. Gary has a new H1 Tubegun Chassis for the Hall custom rimfire action, a very high-quality, single-shot action that can be fitted with a Jewell trigger. The new H1 Chassis, like other Elesio tubegun kits, features a fully-adjustable skeleton-style stock, and a tubular forearm. The forearm can be rotated so a sling-shooter can “dial in” the best angle for his hand-stop. We think this new H1 action should be popular with rimfire prone and position shooters who are looking for an affordable, all-American alternative to expensive European match rifles. Below is a “sneak peek” at Elesio’s new H1. This shows the H1 receiver housing fitted with a Picatinny-style rail. MSRP for the H1 has yet to be announced.
Product Tip from EdLongrange. We welcome reader submissions.About the Hall Action
The $1075.00 Hall action is a high-quality, custom-crafted design built to benchrest standards. The action is 1 3/8″ diameter by 7 ” long and is made of 416 stainless steel, with heat-treated, tool steel locking lugs. The action features an Anschutz-type feed ramp, and it comes with a trigger housing which uses 40X Remington-type triggers (Jewell Remington triggers will work). The Hall action is currently available with either right or left port, but only right bolt.

Well done Gary!
Too bad the designer simply copied a decades-old design, rather than taking this opportunity to catch up with the latest trends in rimfire technology exemplified by Bleiker, G+E, and Uptagrafft actions, which are front-locking, with a ultra-short bolt and a loading port very easily within reach.
I bet they won’t shoot straight at all. In fact, Gary, you should just send me all the prototypes and your test action…I can properly dispose of them for you. I’m certified, promise.
(I see some of the benefits of the actions of which you speak, Tony, but for a position rifle in the hands of the 99.nth percentile, do you think those things make the difference between winning and losing?)
Now if Gary only made this for the Baity Falcon rimfire action………
Nate, you misunderstood me. There are lots of actions that can shoot straight, including, I’m sure, this one. In fact I don’t think any of the top end actions are much different in terms of accuracy potential. Rimfire accuracy has reached a plateau. What improvements can be made at this point are in the area of ergonomics, which is especially important to the position shooter. A closer port allows easy loading while slung. A dry fire switch makes it less onerous to set up the gun for dry fire practice, etc.
But then, premium American rimfire actions tend to be designed for and by the benchrest crowd, who have very different ergonomic needs than position shooters.
The point was to provide a platform for an outstanding, well proven American made rimfire action to the position shooter, at a price thats much more within reach, last time I looked a G&E Racer was about $8500!
Gary, I agree with the price part, but this makes it all the more important for domestic manufacturers to offer modern rimfire actions at much more reasonable prices.
I will say that the Americans are way ahead of the Europeans in the way of tubeguns. The tubegun concept elegantly and economically solves a number of persistent issues that the more traditional European stocks are still struggling with.
If you want to build the ultimate rifle whether its a tube, benchrest, prone, 3p ect. rifle. You need one thing and that is a precision barrel, indexable action like the sqaure action of anschutz or Bill Myers’ Indexable round Rimfire Action. Now with a Eliseo stock with a barrel clamp to take the stress off the action. Make it all American and under $3000 it will out sell, out shoot ect. anything on the market.
