    WARNING ~ TR ~ My experience

    Recently a friend of mine purchased a Tactical Rifles boltgun. He brought it by for my evaluation. Camo job was good. He said they hydro dipped it. Paint on bolt was already coming off on bolt and it had not been shot The receiver tang had a visible air space between tang and stock. I pulled...

    F T/R Competition Sierra 2156 and 8208 load

    My advice If using Bergers in 155 class go with 155.5s. Easy to make shoot and great bullet. US Team shot them in 2009 Worlds and we did real well with them. If using 8208 powder. Clean often it causes far more fouling than Varget

    F T/R Competition Will a 1:13 .299 bore work with a 155 Scenar?

    Deny, my thoughts are the 155 Scenar has a long open air space and I think as it slows down at distance it needs more spin to stabilize like a football does. Not a scientist here just reporting what I have seen shooting many of these. I pick 1x11.25 twist for all my 155 Scenar rifles now

    F T/R Competition Will a 1:13 .299 bore work with a 155 Scenar?

    Vu, been shooting 155 Scenars in FTR since 2006. Here is my experience 1x13 twist works well to 800 yards after that I see fliers I can not explain 1x12 twist works better and my best groups come with a 1x11.25 twist 5R GAP has the chamber reamer to make these hum

    F T/R Competition Dividing F T/R into 2 divisions? Opinions?

    The great thing about F Class is it allows many of us broken down guys to still compete. I wish it had not evolved into an equipment race but like most things that get popular guys look for news ways to win. I don't think it will ever be just a test of wind reading again ( like it was when we...

    F T/R Competition Dividing F T/R into 2 divisions? Opinions?

    Frank I remember the early days also, where we where treated like crap. We now out number the others and things have gotten far nicer. I would love to see suppressors allowed. Keeps noise and blast down which is actually better for shooters next to you. I just hate it when these threads go...

    F T/R Competition Dividing F T/R into 2 divisions? Opinions?

    Well it would be nice to talk about F Class without demeaning Open or TR Classes while doing so. I have been shooting F TR at a fairly high level since 2006. I have seen both classes get to a point that any mistake and your down out of the money. The same is true of Palma and basically every...

    F T/R Competition Thoughts on this load work up?

    I thing you now need to shoot ten shot groups and chrono them as well. Look for great group and low velocity spread over ten rds. That will find a great load

    Brother slap a scope and bipod on any target rifle and you can win most matches if you can shoot well enough. I am against any more rule changes to FTR

    F T/R Competition Reamer for F T/R Class

    Vu, I have had better luck with a 1x11 twist for the 155 Scenars at a grand. Up close a 1x12 works great but groups are better at 1000 with 155 Scenars, for me with an 11 twist. The reamer that the Animal has works great. The 175 grain match chamber reamer is also great for 155 Scenars. Now...

    F T/R Competition Bullets for LR

    I have shot the 185 Scenar and 185 FMJ Lapua bullets. Both are easy to make fly well. The 185 Scenar has a slightly lower BC than the Berger 185 Jugg does. I like the new 175 Scenar L because it moves fast and has high BC. The 220 Scenar L is like a train and seems to take far less wind...
