    Who is running a .223 out to 1000yrds?

    No Worries... was alot of fun. At that distance, miss a wind call and the drift is hilarious See if I get some time this fall before the US Nationals. Want to see what will happen to my FTR load as far as I have elevation for (maybe 1500yds???). I know 1200yds was a chip shot. Some days...

    Who is running a .223 out to 1000yrds?

    was a lot of fun making the trip. The biggest issue was finding scopes that had alot of internal adjustment. At the time I made the trip, very few options. Today, a number of great choices which would make set up so much easier. Hrn 75gr and 80gr amx will make the trip. today I would use...

    PUMP UP YOUR "PECS" while waiting of the target to come back up.... Yeah, maybe not :-) Jerry

    F T/R Competition EGW MPOD Stress Test

    "Wonder how much weight these MPODs can support?".... a question George of EGW put to the test with a few pushups. George describes himself as 6'2" and a "bit" under 300lbs. Not bad for 13ozs of bipod... Jerry

    F T/R Competition 25x ?

    Very high mag scopes are certainly sitting on a variety of rifles. Kind of a win win really. When conditions allow, you have the option for extremely precise aim which can get you that X....... Either on your target or the ones BESIDE YOU :-) YMMV. Jerry

    F T/R Competition 25x ?

    Yes and no. I leave my Sightrons at 35X despite the mirage. Some don't like seeing through heavy mirage and will dial down. SO, many F class shooters will vary their mag depending on the range conditions. Just did some testing and the only scope not used was a SIII6-24 scope. Worked just...

    F T/R Competition F T/R build sequence question.

    Have used Savage in FTR and Open for years and will be shooting 1 at the US Nationals this Oct. They work... what is your budget? On the assumption, you are not rolling in funds and the rifle is already working well for you. 1 - Shilen SS Select Match, 12 twist, BULL contour, 30" finished...

    F T/R Competition EGW Manufactures Mystic Precision MPOD for the US

    I am very happy that you have found the MPOD to your liking. The long legs are popular in the US due to the flat firing points most shoot from. In Canada and overseas, inclined firing positions are more common so you will need the standard legs. I only use the long legs when I go to the US...

    F T/R Competition EGW Manufactures Mystic Precision MPOD for the US

    I have done preliminary testing on the prototype with very good stability. On my rifle, once locked, it stays put even when inclined a far amount. We are moving to produce a short run so that a select number of MPOD users can also test/beat on and give some feedback. These are parts that will...

    F T/R Competition F-class shooters bottom of the barrel, really?

    Dust... is that what you call it.. Up here, we call it SAND BLASTING GRIT :-) There is a pic somewhere of a bunch of shooters throwing themselves over their rifles with a rather big Dust Devil approaching. Good times... Jerry

    F T/R Competition F-class shooters bottom of the barrel, really?

    Sorry, long thread and I am sure lots of good discussion. For gear, yes, F Open rifles mimic LR BR rifles for very good reason. No better way to make a rifle that launches a bit heavy bullet into itty bitty groups at distance. FTR is following in its own way and scores are getting awfullly...

    F T/R Competition Bipod for Accuracy International for F-TR

    There is no doubt that the Harris has been used to good effect in F TR... I know of 2 shooters using a Harris to place very high in the World Championships individual shooting. But in general, as in 95+%, don't. If you can keep all your shots on a calm day inside a 1/2 min target at 600yds and...

    F T/R Competition 52-60 score 30-35 mph wind

    Good or bad... is a relative thing. If 52 was the highest score fired, congrats... if the other way around... well, you get the point. For example, Worlds late Aug. Very calm morning. F Open shooters up to bat first. Highest possible score is 75-15V Shooters left the line shaking their...

    F T/R Competition EGW Manufactures Mystic Precision MPOD for the US

    Bill, looking good. If I may, consider putting a piece of thick nap carpet under the feet. It provides a consistent surface that improves follow through. At SR, I bet you can tune vertical to 1/4 min with good bullets, ammo and rifle. Carpet on a thick rubber pad. This shot was...

    F T/R Competition F Class perfect score ?

    Why I really appreciate the US Nationals format of all 1000yds. Yes, it is tough. And for me, that is the whole point. Even with gentle conditions, you have to be on your toes and have great working gear. Add in some gusty air, you are peddling really fast. When you see a good score at...

    F T/R Competition F Class perfect score ?

    I guess it depends on what you mean by perfect score? And at what distance? I have had the pleasure of shooting with the very good US FTR competitor that set a NRA record at 1000yds for 1 relay. He shot a 200 with a high X count. At the Worlds last year, 1 relay in the morning had some...
