I’m in the minority on many things that have to do with single-shot rifles, nothing new there. I spent one summer doing nothing but playing with front rest and forearms and I went with what works for me. I’m not sure how many folks shoot off the barrel but when I see pictures of matches it looks like a lot shoot off the forearm. Although I’ve found the barrel rest to be best (for me) I still test any new rifle off the forend. Last word is always use what works for you. It may very well be that if I relieved the forearms and shot off them everything would be reversed.
The late Charlie Dell would sometimes get on me for using my old Beeswax –Alox lube, he keep trying to get me weaned off the stuff, I tried many others and keep coming back to it.
These are five-shot fifty-yard. New Green Mountain barrel on my Niedner false-barrel 44 1/2.
