 It’s St. Patrick’s Day, so we bring you something green at a very lucky price. For just $139.99, MidwayUSA is offering its Caldwell Rock BR Competition front rest (item 348661), complete with fitted hard case for transport. That’s a heck of a deal.
We’ve used these 15.5-lb rests and they are solid and functional, though many owners eventually upgrade the rather thin 3-lobe front sandbag (3″ width standard). Caldwell BR rests adjust windage by rotation of the rest top rather than linear tracking. Also available is a heavier (24-lb) “1000-yard” Rock front rest for $169.99 (item 627414). For a limited time, both units now come with a free “Rest Nest” case ($39 value) shown below. Be sure to use promo code BRNEST when ordering to get your free case. Offer expires 3/31/07.

 BAT Machine actions are top of the line, and you can expect to wait up to 6 months if you custom order one. But why wait? Bruno Shooters Supply has a variety of BAT actions in stock, starting at $965.00 for the SV Model. Bruno’s gets new BAT actions weekly, in all three bolt configurations: PPC, .308 and Magnum. Bruno’s offers both two-lug and the hot new three-lug actions. The action shown below is a BAT 3-Lug, .308 stainless RB/LP. BAT actions sell quickly, so call Bruno’s for availability, (623) 587-7641, and tell them AccurateShooter.com sent you.

The long barrels and big scopes used on F-Class and long-range BR Rifles make it difficult to find a hard case long enough to fit the entire rifle. Our readers have asked “Where can we find a good, rigid, metal case (under $75.00) with built-in locks that will hold a rifle with 31″ barrel?” The BD505W model from Bulldog Cases fits the bill. 53″ long and 13″ wide, it will hold a rifle up to 52″ in overall length. While designed to hold two normal hunting rifles, if you have a big Nightforce on top consider this a one-gun case. But you can afford one for each of your long-barreled rifles. The BD505W costs just $59.39 from MidSouth Shooters’ Supply (item 208-BD505W).

Are you a rimfire shooter looking for an Anschutz action (or barreled action) to use in an after-market benchrest, silhouette, or prone stock (such as the new Elesio AN-1)? You can spend weeks watching the auction boards, or you can save time and money by just giving Mac Tilton a call. Mac, owner of MTGuns.com, has hundreds of “previously owned” rimfire rifles in inventory, including scores of Anschutz models. Most have model 54 or 64 actions–he rarely gets the 2000-series barrel-block style actions. But you can certainly build a match-winning rifle from a Model 54. Mac also stocks many BSA Martini and Walther match rifles. For more info, call Mac at (805) 720-7720, from 9 am to 5 pm, Pacific Time.

 MidwayUSA now has Ramshot TAC powder on sale for $9.99 per pound, item # 230803. Ramshot TAC is a quality ball powder that meters like sand and shoots very well in both .223s and .308s. Because it packs tightly, TAC offers excellent velocities in small cases like the .223 Rem.
