I’ll take it per our pms

I’d be interested in the weights if you decide to part out.

I'll take FDE per our pms

I’ll take a black field plate. PM sent

If deal falls through I’ll second for the brass

I too had quite a bit of trouble with this when I first started shooting. Getting someone who knows what they're looking for to watch you set up is probably one of the best things to help find a trouble area. If you can't do that try to record you shooting a couple of rounds to watch later. I...

It looks like I'll be going to BangSteel on Dec. 14th, hopefully Dec. 7th as well for the practice match. 6xcKY, I don't take it as being a douche at all, my biggest thing is to try and do the best I can, I know matches tend to go a lot different than what I'm used to, which is essentially...

Thanks for the support guys, I think that's what I've been needing to hear, just been a little on the fence about entering. I think I've got a decent idea on what I need to work on before hand as well.

Yah, I was thinking about Bang Steel. Is it a pretty decent match for a beginner? Right now my rifle consists of Savage 10 fcp-sr in .308 and vortex viper pst 6-24 ffp w/20 moa egw base leupold mk4 rings. The advice ya'll are giving me is great, I really need to work on different positions and...

Thanks guys, that pretty much answers whether or not to enter, guess I'll give it a go. Any tips to help out as far as training goes? Or just get trigger time as often as I can?

I'd say look at Savage, I've got a 10fcp-sr that's performed pretty well at 1000 and it'll keep you well under budget.

I'm thinking of trying my hand at a tactical match, there's two coming up soon in Wytheville, which is only a few hours away and the closest thing I've seen. My question is, would it be worth while to jump head first into a match, if so, what can I work on before the match as far as training? I...

Thanks for that 40xs, I didn't know camp butner had competition, I'll definitely check it out.

Yah, that can tend to irritate some people, it still might be worth talking to him though, the worst he could possibly say is no. Maybe offer a little cash for the ability to shoot, that might sway his opinion. Either way I hope it works out for you, seems like there's just so few places to...

Thanks for all the help guys. It seems that Manners is getting quite a few votes. I've been behind a McMillan before and it's definitely a comfortable stock. From my understanding McMillan's lead times are a little on the long side as of right now, War is quoting me about six months for the...
