What are the specs on your rifle,specifically the cartridge ?
Did you have to unload the rifle for movement or just put the safety on?
I use a AR in 6mmAR Turbo 40 sometimes in practical precision matches. No wins but I got a 2cnd place once. I really like using semiauto but I find it a handicap on certain stages. </div></div>
GAP-10 in .308
20" Bartlien w/shurefire brake
I was shooting a mix of factory 168 and 175 FGMM's depending on distance
Transitions between leg stages depended on the situation. When moving from one station to another when the leg has several stages, the only requirement was to control the rifle (and pistol) so in that regard the match was very "real world". For example one leg started with pistol for one target, running to the next 2-3 stages and engaging with rifle at various distances/positions, then finishing with pistol (with a time limit).
It was a handicap at the rooftops since I had to balance the rifle on the magazine due to the slope. Another handicap was its weight...we did numerous stages where you were standing either off-hand or off a tree and an 18lb rifle in those situations lets you know quickly that its an 18lb rifle.
The match was set up in a way that did a pretty good job of requiring you to be a well-rounded shooter rather than really good at any one thing. A rifle that would have had a decided advantage would have been a Remy SPS Tactical. Small, light, and very accurate. For the pistol I just use my trusty Sig P220 with cheap factory ammo.
