I have not yet shot at any matches, but I'm getting ready.I bought a Rem 700 SPS Varmint in 308, and I have ordered a Timney trigger, single shot mag follower, and a Bell & Carlson Medalist Varmint/Tactical stock(the stock situation has turned into a nightmare.)The rifle shoots very well in it's box-stock configuration, and should improve a little with the new stock and trigger. I'm getting consistent .6-.7" 10 shot groups with Handloads at 100 yards, and holding just a tick over 1" at 200. I'm planning on a Sightron SIII 8-32x56 when the funds are available, but for now I'm running a Nikon Monarch 4-16x50 on a 20 moa NF base, as well as a Nikon 15-45x60 spotting scope. Can you guys give me some ideas about equipment I have forgot. Can I be competitive (if I do my part) with the kind of gear I have? Keep in mind I have never even attended a match, but I have been shooting seriously for 7 years and am a pretty good shot. I have spent a good bit of money so far, and need some time to recover. I live in upstate SC, so if anyone can point me to some club matches in the vicinity that would be great.
Thanks, Casey
