try not to get too upset, if you were a marine, then you know we have our fair share of idiots. or worse 03's who dont like that a "pog" is shooting high expert. i have a range not 40 miles away that has steel at 2250 yards, and the primary range i shoot at is going to 800 yards by the end of...- JetJon

i can tell you stories about pulling pits in 29 palms, one time i had 9 hits in black and one verified miss, i was pissed because i was shooting perfect all day and there is no fucking way i missed paper from 500, even with my M4. so yea hole size is a factor. but i assume people at matches are...- JetJon

my thing is, i am here to do the work. and .223 should be a bit better for shorter ranges as well. cheaper to shoot, less recoil and yes, reading the wind is important. all in all i think its the better platform to learn on, and for me. i mean, i didnt buy the .338L for 1000 yard matches. i...- JetJon

i am currently leaning to the savage 12 f/tr chambered in .223 1:7 twist, price range more or less mid tier and good reviews as a starter. glass i figure something like a nightforce benchrest 8-32 to get me started, used they start around 900. my budget is restricted, but i do save up money. i...- JetJon

so i went ahead and went out to test the idea that i could "deal with" recoil sans break. while it can be done, something tells me i would not enjoy the experience. hell i didnt enjoy the 5 shots i did today... so i guess i will change my aim a tad, keep the 110BA for tactical style and extreme...- JetJon

some great advice here. thanks for that. i guess i should explain a little more as the big issue seems to be recoil and cost. i got the 110ba so i could make mile + shots. the idea of doing f-class came about when i learned about it via the reviews for the nightforce competition 2014. sounds...- JetJon

the problem is, i already have the rifle and might try to get into competitions with it. if i were to buy a rifle something in 6.5 creedmoor or similar is on my list. in fact i may hold off on my competition ideas until i buy a mid range rifle for the purpose of matches.- JetJon

i am not 100% new to precision shooting. i am new to competition shooting, and i never owned a rifle capable of shooting as far as i have wanted. the savage is that rifle, capable of shooting as far as i wanted. unfortunately F-class sounds like a hell of a lot of fun and i already invested...- JetJon

so i have been interested in trying some competition shooting, only recently heard about F-Class. Palma just not being my bag. unfortunately i heard about F-Class after i made a big purchase, a savage 110BA in .338LM i love the rifle, and have slowly been putting together shinny bits (atlas...- JetJon
