Ok, questions about the photo at the top of the blog. The "header photo" was taken one or two years ago at CBC. (Conard Bernhard Cup) in Pe Ell, WA. I find the equipment to be fascinating. This beast is a custom build based on a Swindlehurst rimfire action by Kelby's of OH. Their website makes no mention of it anymore. IIRC there were 300 made and that was enough for the discerning SB benchrest crowd. It is in the hands of one of the top current shooters. It is fitted in the standard MacMillan fiberglass stock that so many Anschutz 17XX came in. I suspect it is the same stock she was using just a new color and new action. The scope is a one of the new Leupold 25x FX3. I guess they are not new anymore. I am old school and enjoy the old M8 BR 24x Leupolds but many report satisfaction with the new 25x and 30x silhouette scopes. (Photo credit: Mark M.)
I hear Cathy is back shooting a standard Anschutz 17XX (1700, 1710, 1712) in the same MacMillan stock. She continues to be a phenomenal shot based on her performance at Pe Ell.
