If you are looking to test a man's knowledge of how wind, rain, temperature, humidity, sunshine, etc. affect bullet flight, this is a great tool.  However, if you are going to call this a shooting game I think the shooter should still have some roll in it.  The only thing with this barreled action left up to shooter error is the trigger pull, and I think this base is heavy enough to even eliminate that.

I'll stick to rests, sandbags and my body for benchrest if that is ok with all of you  ???

Might as well just use a "universal receiver" like companies use to test fire barrels.

Like most shooting games they push as far as they can but stay within the rules.
