FROM THE BENCH
VINCE’S REGULAR COLUMN WHEREBY ACCURACY NUTS CAN KEEP UP TO DATE WITH THE ACTIVITIES OF THE UKBRA AND ACCURACY RELATED ITEMS
Competitions Round three of our 600 yard benchrest winter series took place on January 21st in not only freezing conditions but it was also blowing and absolute gale – there would be no small groups today….. In fact, the best we could hope to do was stay on paper and avoid a penalty for shots off the target. Many fell victim to penalties, which add six-inches to the group size for every lost shot. It would be one of those days where many Light Gun competitors were again humiliated by the Factory Sporter guys but at least Bruce Lenton won Light Gun Class with a Light Gun but second and third places were taken by Factory Sporter shooters.
Results: Light Gun: 1st
Bruce Lenton TGP 6BR Winchester
2nd Alan Seagrave 308 Sako TRG 3rd
Factory Sporter: 1st

2nd Darrel Evans 6.5x47 Accuracy Intl. 3rd
Sean Broxham 6.5-284 Savage New stuff
At Diggle, we are always shooting slightly up-hill and the standard front-rest levelling-screws are never long enough to get on target. We see some elaborate contraptions to overcome this problem from lumps of wood to purpose- made extensions. Yes, we (including the F Class shooters) would all like some longer screws (unless you have a SEB NEO rest that is) but who sells ‘em?
Well, Spud sells ‘em. Spud’s legs are made from best quality stainless steel shafts with aluminium tops. Various thread types are available to suit any rest and are all made to order. The legs are six-inches in length allowing for plenty of height options, they are pointed with two types of point available - sharp or rounded. For knocking into a concrete bench top, go for pointed. Don’t forget to tell Spud which you want – if you don’t the soft point will be sent. (Above photograph)
The legs cost a very reasonable £35-00 per set posted to any UK mainland address. E-mail Spud at
