Re: what are you using for 3gun comp?

I use different guns depending on the match venue and if it's USPSA or outlaw. 9mm S&W M&P if it's outlaw and no power factor, Tangfolio Witness Limited .40 otherwise. 11" AR with reflex sight if short venue (100 yds or less), 20" AR with 4x ACOG otherwise. But I always use my Benelli Super 90 M1 18.5" with rifle sights (not the ghost ring). Love that Benelli!

I'm a member over at the Brian Enos forum, too. Lots of good 3-gun info there. http://www.brianenos.com/forums

Re: what are you using for 3gun comp?

S&W M&P 9 pro series
FN SLP with 24" vent rib barrel(didn't like the cantilever)
JP15 .223 with Burris XTR 1-4(would run a Swaro 1-6 if I could afford it)

I bought my M1 about 7 years ago. I don't think the M2 has been out that long. I haven't had the chance to shoot the M2, but it looks pretty sweet.

Re: what are you using for 3gun comp?

Ok didn't know if you preferred it for any reason. I'd like to get my hands on one for a trial as well. Enough talking what do you shoot? List them here for a comparison for new three gunners.

Benelli Nova tactical w/Nordic extension for when a pump is requires and the above M2 when I can run semi-auto

Re: what are you using for 3gun comp?

RIFLE: JP15 18 inch Upper with Bennie Cooley comp. If Tac Limited: Leupold Prismatic with DCD reticle and handloaded Hornday 53 grain VMAX. If Tac Scope: soon to be a Leupold Mk 6 1-6X but has been the Leupold 1.5-5X MR/T with CMR2 reticle. Ammo: Hornady 75 grain Steel Match.

Shotgun: Remington VersaMax 26 in barrel, Nordic Components 11 shot tube, and XS express rear sight. Fantastic gunsmithing by Benny Hill at Triangle Shooting Sports. I used to shoot a Benelli M1 which is a good gun but the Versamax is as relaible and sure kicks less.

Pistol: CZ75 CTS Long Slide in 9mm by the CZ Custom Shop. A pistol that I will stack up against any STI any day of the week.

Re: what are you using for 3gun comp?

I shoot Limited in 3gun comps here. I use a Springfield TGO in .45 ACP, a MSTN built AR15, and a Benelli M4 12 gauge. Both the TGO and Benelli are heavily modified with aftermarket parts.

 

[Fried Chicken Blowout]

Re: what are you using for 3gun comp?

I shoot Tactical Optics

Pistol - M&P9Pro with some fun changes (I shoot an M&P40Pro in USPSA Limited to keep it all similar.)

Rifle - Build all my own ARs, my 3-Gun setup is a 16" 5.56 Heavy Match Barrel with a Mid-Length gas system, 15" Troy VTAC hand guard, CMC Trigger and a Vltor EMOD stock and it's topped off with a Burris MTAC. For USPSA sanctioned matches it has an AAC Break and for Outlaw I run a Mini-4 Suppressor.

Shotgun - FN SLP Mk1

It all works great, the only shortcoming is my skill.

Might want to pay attention to this. Info is from one of the top multigun competitors in the country.

Re: what are you using for 3gun comp?

I have shot some limited 3 Gun over the past couple years and have had a lot of fun and plan on shooting more next year as the state of affairs in the long gun competitions has really turned me off. I use/will use the following in Tac Optics:

Pistol: Glock 34 with Dawson Precision fiber optic front and black rear sights and Vogel trigger.

Shotgun: Benelli M1 Super 90 with 18" barrel and chokes, ghost ring sights, Nordic Components charging handle and mag tube extension. Using it that way as that was how I bought it used a few years back. Will be changing to a 24" barrel and longer mag tube extension(still load to legal capacity to start but after that can load more when moving) and fiber optic sights.

Rifle: Now 18" POF with S&B Short Dot but I will be using a Seekins SP3G when Glen gets it done. http://www.seekinsprecision.com/complete-rifles-1/sp3g.html Can't wait to get that in and shooting with it.

Plan on getting my holster and mag holding up to snuff as well. I know I won't be competitive in Tac Optics coming in this late in the game but I just want to have some fun again.

I am pretty new at long gun comps at just over a year. I love it, but obviously only know what I have experienced. What is the state of affairs that has changed from your point of view?


Great thread BTW. Getting my own 3 gun stuff together.

Thanks,

My only issue with the versamax is that the loading area is very small to me. I get my thumb stuck in it. And opening it up really doesn't seem like it'd help a whole lot.

Re: what are you using for 3gun comp?

Keep it coming!!! What do you shoot and what division???

 

[Glen Seekins]

Re: what are you using for 3gun comp?

We shoot a ton of them anymore, all Tac ops.
Seekins Precision - SP3G rifle with Leopold 1-8 MK8
Shotgun M2 26" (holds 10 in the tube)
STI in 40, but its going to be a 9mm this year. Also shoot a Glock...kind of

pistol doesn't matter, you want max capacity in your mags and you need to be able to shoot it well.

Best thing to do is to borrow some kit, go and see what you might like. If i had to do it over i would have a safari land belt setup instead of the Velcro one i have now. the 4x4 shot gun shell holders are nice and dont skimp out on your pistol mag holders.

And there you go. I am very patient and appreciate Glen's hard work on it and respect his commitment to his customers.

I need my brake pinned and an Ace stock because I can't use collapsible stocks in my state. It sucks but its the law.

 

[rickey]

Re: what are you using for 3gun comp?

yep joined The Enos forum today! ;> I still like to ask some of the same questions I read about on the hide do to the fact that Some of the guys are more critical about a rifles accuracy and id like to get the best/most accurate rifle I can for the competition. Doesn't make me a better shooter but that tells me I cant blame my rifle.....The other forums sometimes dont care about a rifles performance they just care about how long the rails are.... ar15... ect. However I am liking what Im reading on the Enos Forum. Allot of Competition shooters over there!!! If anyone is looking to compete that is definitely a good site!!!

Re: what are you using for 3gun comp?

Tactical Optics

LaRue OBR 16 inch with a SF brake. S&B 1-4 Short Dot. Giselle 2-stage trigger.

STI 2011 Tactical. 140mm mags hold 23+1.

Sometimes I will run a 300 Whisper, just because I can.

 

[Captain Moroni]

Re: what are you using for 3gun comp?

We have a local group that I guess you could call outlaw that I shoot with. No classifications just come shoot and practice for bigger matches.

I use a home built 14.5" Vltor/Daniel Defense/Troy rifle with a Geissele Super Dynamic Combat trigger, BattleComp 1.5 and Aimpoint T1. Next year I will break out my post/sample M-16 just for shits and giggles
My pistola is either a FN FNP .45 (that is super bad ass) or a Lone Wolf Timberwolf Glock 17.
The shotgun is a Mossberg 930 SPX w/20" BBL but I think I will get a 22" BBL for it.

I carry my mags and stuff on a HSGI padded belt with taco mag pouches and G-Code holsters. I need to get something better for the shot gun shells than a dump pouch with loose shells. Is there something out there that will attach to MOLLE that will hold the shot shells that will also not break the bank?
