Hello all
Like many, I have been lurking for a while. reading as much as possible. Able to find answes to most questions.
Im in the process of getting some training beyond Appleseed. I'm also trying to focus my search determining how I going to be using the rifle and what my requirements are.
My list of Requiemts and Nice to Haves looks like this so far, which I sure will change with some instruction.
Terms of Use
1. 200yd or less - 90% of time Paper/Steel
2. 400yd - 5% Paper/Steel
3. 800yd - 3% Steel
4. Hunting - 1% or less, Current Rifle fills this roll
5. Tactical/Practical Comp 1% or less
Requirements - Rifle
1. Under 15 lbs Loaded, optic, bi-pod, stock pad
2. Barrel Contour such that heat up has minimal effect on POI, provided #1 is met.
Nice to Haves
1.DBM
2.Commercially Available Off the Shelf Reloading Components
3. Light Recoil
4. Caliber equal to or greater than .243. (Hunting but '06 fills that roll)

2. Paralax Adjustment
3. Min magnification 10X
Nice to Haves

Current rifle is a Savege 114 in 30-06. Sporter barrel heats up real quick. I'm keeping this as is for hunting.

Thanks
Scott
