New Guy..

Hello,

Finally made my way here to post, after signing up last April. Haven't done as much reading as I've wanted, because it's really only been in the past 5 months that I've taken to accurized shooting.

I've been shooting for many years, including some local competitions, but nothing precision oriented. Shot one of the local/monthly matches here in Phoenix, and got I think 5 out of 50 hits. I would love to blame it on equipment..and I think I can, but not as much as I want to.

But I had fun, wasn't unsafe and learned a lot. All good.

My current setup is a Remington 700 VSF, left-handed, in .308, in the H-S Precision stock. It's topped with a Leupold Mark 2 4.12x40 scope. So far, my most accurate load is 43.3 gr Varget, 168 SMKs and Lapua brass. I am still dialing that in.

Thanks to all of you who've contributed so much here for folks like me to learn from.

Yep, but the only pain so far has been in my wallet.
