Here is (Yost Benchrest Rifle

Here is (I hope) a photo of the Yost actioned benchrest rifle that my son Matt and I have been working on since last fall. The targets were shot by Matt on our second trip to the range. One target was shot with solid overcast the other after the sun came out with resulting mirage. I believe he will be competitive.

Looks great, was wondering what barrel you have on it and how long it is?? 
Looks like a good stock for bench shooting for sure. 
Rather interesting as I have one of those actions on the shelf and have been pondering a future for it.

It is a Ron Smith barrel and I think it is 24 inches in length.

You can see larger pictures at these 2 links.

My best target is a score of 246 with 7 centers.

Well if its his barrel I'd expect nothing less.
I'll have to let him know next time I see him... he may have to do a recall on it if its a family barrel that escaped the shop accidentally..
Good lookin gun

The scope is 24 power but the extra eyepiece increases it somewhat. It also has a less eye relief with the higher power eye piece and will bite you if you let the rifle free recoil.
