BeeSting Barrel Tuner By Ray Cockayne
Looking about the internet, the BeeSting barrel tuner came to my notice - you can find it at
www.beesafeusa.com It’s a very nice- looking piece of kit. It comes as a tube only or with the tuner and can be made to any length you wish up to 15 inches of tube for the same price. Interestingly, the tube itself is made from carbon fibre, giving a reduction in weight against any comparable length metal tube. ,Unlike the Starik, it’s tuning movement is, by comparison, minuscule and again, unlike the Starik, it has a micrometer to record settings, making return to any previously tuned setting for ammo batch or distance very easy. My ‘weakness’ kicked in, the wife’s jewellery would have to be pawned, I had to have one.
A good friend and fellow member of DTSGB and I have had a number of chats regarding the benefits of using a tuner. We showed, in the last article in July 2011, that very good batch-tested ammo could be tuned to shoot even smaller groups.
In an international competition shot using electronic targets recording scores to 0.1, every 0.1 improvement counts and a tuner could make the difference between winning Gold or being an also ran. To many shooters, it will make the difference between scoring a ten or a nine. My friend has a 21inch Lilja barrel and was looking for a longer extension tube so, I suggested he take a look at the BeeSting. He placed an order for a tuner with a 15inch tube and I followed a couple of days later requesting an 8inch tube.
