I shot 2 local club matches last year and I'm hoping to do 3-5 club matches as well as 3-5 PRS matches this year.
I'm looking this year to purchase a more serious rifle. Something with a detachable magazine and a few other nice things to have in a competition rifle.
I'd been looking at the Ruger RPR in 6mm Creedmoor, however noticed the Bergara LRP and the MPA PCR rifles that are each $2000 or less which would allow me to compete in the production class while I'm still learning. My question is how far can you go with the LRP or PCR? Would those rifles still be competitive with the equipment in the open class?
For one I'm not at the level where I'll out shoot my rifle. I just wonder if I'm going to spend $2000 on a rifle, how many years I'll be able to compete with it as I become more experienced and skilled. if they're not gonna hold up in the open class I'd much rather just purchase a rifle half the price and use that for a year or 2 until I'm ready to go out and get a custom rifle or AI.
