“I’ll start shooting once I get a rifle built.”
or “I wish I can try it out without spending thousands of dollars.”
or “I want to build a rifle but have no idea where to start.”
Most of us in this sport have all heard one or all of these statements at one time or another. Let’s face it; getting started in the tactical precision rifle game isn’t easy as some of the other shooting sports out there. It can be hardware intensive, technical, and just expensive.
With the support from some very generous sponsors, NCPPRC will now be able to allow new shooters to try things out before making the plunge into the Tactical/Practical Long Range shooting sport.
Marc Soulie of Spartan Precision Rifles donated rifle #18 of 25 from the 2012 Sniper’s Hide Rife build. Being chambered in 6.5cm, new shooters will not get beat up behind the rifle, and in the wind as much. The rifle is well balanced and handles very well for shooters big and small, men or women.
The specs on the rifle are as follows:
Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor
Manner T6A Stock w/full adjustments
Custom Marked Bighorn Tactical Action (short action)
20MOA Base
Bartlein Barrel in a Light Varmint Contour
Surgeon DBM (AICS Magazines)
Timney Trigger
What is a great rifle without good glass? Vortex Optics took care of that part by donating a Vortex Razor HD 5-20 EBR-3 scope with rings, and all the goodies. The EBR3 reticle is an effective and is easy to use for new shooters. They also get started off on the right foot with a mil/mil based system.
To truly make this a turnkey package, Mike Cecil with CSTactical donated a Harris 6-9 Bipod w/ KMW Pod-Loc, Redman rear bag, TAB Sling, American Defense bipod adaptor, and a AICS 10 round magazine.
How will this program work? Simple.
A person that would like to shoot one of our LR Practice sessions on the first Saturday of the month @ Sacramento Valley Shooting Center can contact our club at [email protected] to reserve the rifle. This will be on a first come, first serve basis starting in January 2014.
The only thing a shooter will have to pay for is the ammo they shoot. Cost is 25.00 per 20 rounds of Hornady 140gn AMAX 6.5cm. If the shooter has their own Hornady 140gn Amax ammo, no problem, but it has to be factory Hornady ammo.
****You must be 18 years old or older, and can legally possess a firearm*****
One of our club members will be assigned to help the new shooter out, and get them squared away once they are on the firing line. Drop data and help will be provided from 200yards to 1000yards.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors for their donation and continued efforts in growing our sport. Without their help, none of this would have been possible.
