    F T/R Competition Novice F-Class beginner idea

    You might consider selling that AR or trading it in on a 223 bolt gun with a 1/7 or 1/8 barrel. You are throwing money at something that will never work as well as a bolt gun, unless you sink a bunch of money into it.

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    It says you are from St. Louis(but it also says you are a navy seal). If so, we shoot F-Class at St. Louis Benchrest club at least once a month. Come observe a match and you will learn quite a bit. If that isn't up your alley, I suggest looking into smallbore shooting. There are a lot of...

    F T/R Competition 7wsm for FTR

    You don't have to worry about F-Standard in the US. There is just F-T/R and F-Open. You might wan't to update your location since you have mentioned the non-US F-Standard in multiple threads, causing confusion all around. This is probably the most confusing thread a new shooter could ever read...

    F T/R Competition 7wsm for FTR

    If you want longer barrel life and less recoil, go with a 284. You are really going to be at a disadvantage to the guys running rests if you step up to F-Open. From your equipment, it sounds like you would rather be in F-T/R, so I would recommend sticking with the 308. As previously mentioned...

    F T/R Competition STL Benchrest Fclass

    2 sighters plus 15 rounds for score X 2 for a total of 34 rounds fired. There is a sight in period prior to the match where everyone is allowed to shoot at steel. This allows new shooters to get dialed in and is a confidence booster for everyone. I usually show up with 50 rounds and have a few...

    1000 Yard Setup

    Stop ignoring Proneshooter. He has made the most relevant comments in the thread. You are obviously more concerned about hardware than actually learning to shoot.

    Disappointed with "expensive" spotting scopes

    From what I've seen with my own eyes and also read in reviews, the Kowa 883 is better than everything else, including the Swarovski and the Vortex. You really need to look though one. I have the much less expensive TSN-821M and everyone that has looked through it at a match has been impressed...

    Just got meplat trimmer and pointing die...

    Monte, Are you happy with the results of the Giraud meplat trimmer? What bullets are you trimming? I might have to pick one up for mine. When you consider that its already on the bench and the cutter/holder is about the same price as a manual unit, its a no brainer. Thanks, Ryan

    Need new shooting glasses: Need suggestions

    Randolph and Decot both have adjustable bridges that eliminate the problem of looking over your glasses. If you aren't looking through your glasses, they aren't protecting your eyes. I went with Randolph Edge frames and Trivex lenses. Well worth the money.
