    F T/R Competition Tactical bipod off wood bench !

    Hi guys ! Have only shot 2 matches , came in 2nd and 3rd. We shoot small local club informal , not many rules and it’s f open I believe . They let us old guys shoot from bench . Any how , everyone including me uses heavy front rests . I’ve got a tactical 6br , weighs prob 16 pounds , and with a...

    Ok ! I still suck . Didn’t suck as bad as 2 weeks ago , but still suck . I have another idea what’s going on . I normally shoot free recoil and I think I’m not paying attention and feathering rifle a little too much . Here is a 5 shot 300 yard group from when I first got the 6.5x47 . I have to...

    I think a lot of people would disagree with you ! And it is a 3” flat bottom stock meant for 3” bag .

    F T/R Competition Sorting brass ??????

    Only reason I ask is some guys in F class sort their brass by weight . Guys at my range say they sort to .5 grain. I was just wondering if anyone saw point of impact change with say a 2 grain heavier or lighter case ? And forgive my ignorance , but I’m not sure I understand about a longer case...

    Yes , I’m definitely talking weighing empty brass cases !

    F T/R Competition Sorting brass ??????

    Just curious as to how many shooters sort their brass ! Im using Lapua 6br and 6.5x47 . Just wondering if anyone has seen a difference in POI with say a 1 grain spread ? 2 grain spread ? Thx Mark

    This is what’s telling me it was the rest . This 4 shot group is with the tactical 6br and bipod off the bench . I shot this directly after shooting my 6” groups off the rest . 4 shots that measure .5 .

    F T/R Competition Accuracy went out the window !

    I know it’s in fun , and actually most guys on here use bipods and not front rests. I wish I could shoot prone with a bipod , but I’m almost 60 and have degenerative arthritis in my neck so I’d look pretty silly trying to shoot while I’m screaming in pain ! Lol And just an FYI , The 2 current...

    Lol ! Where I shoot its F open . Most of us shoot from bench . I’ve always wanted to shoot with tactical bipod off bench but it seems like the heavy rest is more stable and consistent . But the way I was shooting with the tactical bipod off the bench last weekend , I think I might be competitive...

    Will do . I brought the rest into work tonight and did a complete check on it . Everything seems fine. Being it was so cold out I hurried (mistake) and didn’t do my normal ritual of pounding feet into bench . When I go this Saturday I’ll make sure everything is snug and give it another try . It...

    Im guessing rest also due to 3rd rifle shooting half inch group with bipod .

    I thought about copper fouling myself. But the accuracy went south with 2 different very accurate rifles . That’s why I was thinking the front rest .

    Thx for response . All good ideas . Im hoping it was just something loose on rest . We will see . I’ll go down your checklist and see . It really sucks though going to Range with high hopes and falling flat on your face . Lol thx Mark

    F T/R Competition Accuracy went out the window !

    So went to Range yesterday and went to shoot my 6.5x47 at 300 yards . First shot hit bull and subsequent shots went in about a 5-6 in group . WTF ? Last time this gun was shot it was doing 1” at 300 . It was cold so instead of screwing with it I brought out my 6br . First 4 shots were 4-5...

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    A couple months ago a girl won a pretty big F class match with 308 using Berger 20x bullets . I give her a lot of credit !

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    Lol ! I didn’t say it was dead . Just said it’s not as competitive as other cartridges in F Class.

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    It probably won’t ever die completely , but in the F class ranks u don’t see it very much anymore . I tried to be competitive with it and no joy . Went to 6BR and 6.5x47 and now I believe I will be very competitive .
