Bench Rifle
Whats a good bench rifle? I have a 260 rem., 280 rem., 308, 300 win. mag., CZ 6.5x55 swed., 223 aclly improved, and a 25/06 rem., 204 rg., 17 rem., 220 swift, but there all hunting rifles. I have 2 ruger 10/22's one hunting and one fully custom for bench. But now i want to get a centerfire gun for bench. Any ideas for you bench gurus?

RE: Bench Rifle
I am assuming that by "bench gun", you mean a benchrest gun? If you mean a benchrest gun, get ready to kiss about $4K+ good-bye. I would recommendeither 22 PPC, 6mm PPC, 22 BR, or 6mm BR. I would go with either a Stolle (Grizzly) or Nesika Bay (Classic R) action, either a Hart or Lilja barrel, and McMillan Light/Heavy or Edge stock. Of course these components will have to be expertly assembled by a gunsmith who is knowledgeable about building benchrest rifles.
Ifthat is not what you are lookiing for, then I would recommend the Savage Model 12 Long Range Precision varminter in .223 Remington.

Would also add that Cooper's have been doing really well in Factory gun competitions. A Cooper in triple duece (222 ruled BR prior to the PPC) would be an excellent choice.
