The wait is tough, at least it was for me but in the end absolutely well worth every grueling minute and month.

Hey Beer that's our old website

There are N50 practice targets you can print under the target button

N50 is geared for real benchrest where best equipment and skills are paramount. Saving up for a quality dedicated rifle, scope and rest are worthy goals. In the mean time run what ya brung, learn and enjoy. Shooters are high quality people and will work hard to help you as you come up.
Here are the archived yearly results and rifles used. https://www.national50.net/archive

Yeah, I will probably start with rti to learn more and it seems like a one piece rest is what a lot of serious folks use. I will be just competing locally. I like being a part of the shooting and not just pull the trigger. I want to get behind the gun and feel it. Like I said I'm going to try it after my surgery recovery and see. Thanks again for the info

There may be better rests but the differences are probably small. Randolph offers extreme flexibility in adjustment to accommodate stock length for best tune support. Controls are right next to each other below the trigger - less body reach. It’s heavy - made with thicker plate. Several tops are available and Arnold makes a ball bearing roller top too. Seekers of the magic combo have tried every top design made.
I can’t speak of the SEB-like stick rests but some like them.
Buy a bunch of different pellet lots and be prepared to turn many into sinkers.
Good luck Dr. it’s going to be a wild ride.
Edit. Note hand controls placement. Note adjustable rear stock support

The RAW HM1000x LRT in .22 caliber would be my choice. (.177 would work too, but RAW doesn't make them in that model)

My hm1000x in 22 that's in their chassis is at Martins right now getting converted to 177 and tuned at 20fpe with the 10.3 for hunter class field target.

You can't go wrong with either Thomas or Raw for Benchrest. They are pretty much the top of the food chain that are designed for benchrest. The pinnacle might be order a Thomas 22 HP and have Steve Corcorran build you a custom wood stock for it!
I really LOVE my RAW's, I have 6 or 7 of them. Can't recall right offhand!
Scope would be a 36X or higher fine crosshair or target dot, Sightron, Leupold, old Weaver, March.
Thx

I forgot to mention one-piece rest not allowed for Factory Class 22LR, only 2 piece. So be prepared if competing with 22LR.

You might also consider an Arnold one piece rest with the roller top. Not necessarily better than the Randolph, just another option.
