    F T/R Competition Spring for Sinclair bipod or keep saving for a better scope?

    Thanks for all the advice. Yes I'm reloading but was using LC brass finally sprung for some lapua but didn't do it in time to test load before the match. Hopefully they will show they are well worth it as I plenty of LC laying around. I'd love to jump into shooting over 600 yards but after a...

    F T/R Competition Broke the Cherry w/ my 1st Mid Range Match

    Really enjoyed the 600 yard match out at Bayou Rifle. Feel pretty good about the results for a first timer, at least I shot consistently. 176-1 178-1 177-4 Now I see more money spending, the fixed 10 SS SWFA was clear, but think it would be beneficial to have a variable power. And toss...

    Strange problem at the range.

    I guess it could burn up the media, but it also will not. Personal experience. Luckily I didn't learn the lesson in blood or loss of a gun. Next round didn't want to chamber smoothly and instead of forcing the issue, I looked for the reason. Pulled the bolt and wa-la, what is that in my...

    Best reasonably priced 223 bolt gun.

    I got a Howa 1500 targetmaster about a year ago. I finally contacted Legacy due to all the different information I was finding on barrel twist. I sent a email w/ serial and received a reply that is was a 1:9. I love the gun shoots very nice, but have yet to try the heavier bullets after...

    Strange problem at the range.

    100% sure it's not tumbling media that was accidentally left in case before loading? Personnel experience speaking.

    F T/R Competition 1000 yards w/ 20" barrel?

    Great stuff. Appreciate it all. I will definitely be out there w/ my Howa 1500 in a B&C stock w/ 20" barrel starting this month or next to the 300 and 600 yard matches. I would like to "Participate" in the 1000 yards, but as I want to be completely safe about it; i'll hold off for a while...

    F T/R Competition 1000 yards w/ 20" barrel?

    Thanks everyone for piping in. Denys, you stated exactly what I was leaning toward. As much as I would like to just jump in the deep end w/ the sharks. I will refrain from jumping in and slapping the sharks that might be willing to help me swim. Thanks again everyone. Valuable information...

    Well after attending a introduction class to F-Class, F-T/R and Wind Reading put on by Denys at Bayou Rifle I caught the itch to start entering some of the local matches. Thanks Denys for a great day! Question is will I be able to possibly come up w/ a load that will stay supersonic at 1000...

    F T/R Competition Intro to F-class and Highpower NRA competition in Houston, TX.

    Two days late and a dollar short. Maybe i'm reading thru to quick or just a bit tired, but is this open to members only or anyone who registers? Secondly are spectators aloud at the match? I would love to come out and see everything in action. Thanks for any information.

    Looking for decent bolt action .308 with scope for around $1000...What options?

    I favor the Howa 1500's. Have one in .223 & .308. Both are shooters. Can get them as a package deal, although the scope isn't the greatest it will get you started. I put the SWFA SS fixed 10 on the .308 and lovin it as well.
