Do You Shoot Rifle Competition?

[JDS]

I Shoot NBRSA Hunter class. I just built a riffle for long range but have not competed with it yet.

I will be starting my long range shooting education in the minor leagues. I have been reading about Small Bore Silhouette, I will be shooting at 45, 66, 84, and 109 yards. I will be using a Savage Mark II GL; I am right handed but left eye dominant, hence the left handed rifle. As far as scopes, I am thinking Mueller 4.5-14x40 AO with mil dot.

Good for you! A .22 can be used to learn and practice many of the fundamentals of marksmanship.

All that's missing is the recoil & muzzle blast. I do a lot of shooting with my .22's - for good reason.

I shoot F-class with a Remington 700 Target/Tactical 308 and do some tactical shooting with my PTR-91 308. You might say I'm a 308 junky!!!

I travel overseas for most of the year. But go to the range and shoot as much as I can when I'm home.

I compete in Hunter Benchrest. 6X scope, 10# limit on overall weight, 6mm or bigger, case capacity of 30-30 or larger.

VM, lets see some groups

In Hunter you shoot for score. There is a 1/16th dot on the 100 yard target that is the "X" and that is what you try to hit. The 10 ring is 1/2". Best score is 50-5X. I will take those over groups. Anyway, these guns do group, just is not object.

No, but I plan to. I live in NJ, so there's not a lot close to me lol. I plan on attending some tactical shoots with my .308 this summer though.

 

[sniper762mm]

that first target is not 50-5x. i doubt its even 5 shots

 

[vmthtr]

Sniper,
Thanks for the comment, but you lost my meaning. I showed two targets, one to show how big the X is compared to a 30 cal hole and one with a group. Targets are officially scored and have 6 bulls. I just showed the single sighter bull. You can shoot as many as you want in that box. Other boxes are one single shot.

well; you shouldnt have written 50-5x on it

sorry if i misintrpreted your intent

 

[vmthtr]

I didn't, the scorer did.

No i don't but would love to get into 3 gun competition but sadly CO. is the closest around me to do so. my local gun range is heavy into cowboy action shooting, but none of my guns will work for that type of competition.
