The Shooters Corner

The Shooters Corner isn't a typical gun shop. It's the operation of Bob White, a master gunsmith who's spent five decades building precision benchrest and varmint rifles. Before retiring from 30+ years teaching graphics at New Jersey schools, Bob had already established The Shooters Corner as a part-time venture. Now it's his full commitment—and it shows.

Bob's background reads like a who's who of competitive shooting:

• •IBSA President for seven terms; currently on Executive Board of International Benchrest Shooters Association
• •170+ competition matches in prone and 3-position rifle
• •World Benchrest Championship teams: Gold medal (Dobiaccio, Italy) and Bronze medal (New Zealand)
• •Coach of undefeated high school smallbore rifle team at Union High School, NJ
• •International experience: Seminars in South Africa, coaching the South African World Benchrest team
• •Match director for IBS registered competitions at Mainville Sportsman Club Range, PA
• •Benchrest Chair for ANJRPC range at Highland Lakes, NJ

The inventory is dominated by precision competition rifles:

• •Benchrest Rifles – 6PPC light and heavy varmint, 222, 222.5, 6BR, unlimited rail guns. Prices range from $695 to $3,600. You'll find actions from Hart, Shilen, Stolle, Wichita, BAT, and CPS. Barrels from Hart, Krieger, Shilen, and J. Dewey. Stocks from McMillan, Six, Kelbly, and custom builds.

Notable pieces include:

B519 – 6PPC Unlimited Rail Gun with Hart #4 action and Hart 25" barrel – a "super accurate shooting machine" in near-new condition for $3,600

B562 – 6PPC Unlimited on a Ralph Stolle action with birdseye maple stock and figured walnut buttplate – described as "a unique piece, you will never see another like it"

• •Varmint Rifles – Heavy and light varmint configurations in calibers like 243 Ackley, 30BR Hunter, 6.5x244 Ackley, and more. Many feature McMillan, H&S Precision, or custom laminated wood stocks.

Inventory Beyond Rifles: - Scopes and scope bases (Weaver, Unertl, dovetail, integral) - Reloading dies and reloading equipment - Rifle stocks (f-glass, laminated wood) - Stainless steel barrels - Chambering reamers - Tactical accessories - Handguns - Rimfire rifles - Books and magazines

Bob White isn't just selling guns—he's distilling five decades of competitive shooting experience into every custom build. He teaches beginner benchrest seminars followed by clinics where students can apply what they learned. He runs unregistered matches between IBS competitions. He's mentored shooters internationally.

From their site: "It Takes a Shooter to Know a Shooter!" and "There's More to Shooting Than Hardware." That second point is key—Bob doesn't just sell equipment. He's available to help shooters understand what makes a rifle truly reliable and precise, drawing from decades of competitive matches and gunsmithing work.

If you're serious about benchrest or varmint shooting in the New Jersey/New York area, The Shooters Corner isn't just worth a visit—it's worth the drive.
