Re: New acquisition
They were marketed a few years by SGC as the Competitor, not sure if he had some of them marked up as his....?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Very nice Sandgroper, I had my hands on the Badger types 6,5x55 a couple of years ago and must admit I had not seen them before. A .357Mag sounds like a reasonable choice as well.

Re: New acquisition
Bit of a thread resurrection, but I've been tinkering with my Competitor LBP and below is the result...
Apart from changing the sights, I've constructed a detachable stock for it - not pretty but it's only a prototype. Feels really comfortable and is pretty solid - I'm looking forward to giving a test run over the next couple of weeks.
To load and unload the stock rotates through 90 degrees, it does need a ramp to ensure the case ejects cleanly but other than that it's good to go!

Too much time on your hands methinks!
I'll look forward to trying it out sometime.

Bloody hell Grant, I never thought a Competitor could actually get any uglier!
