My wife has been bugging me to take her back to Rome. I would prefer to rent a sportbike, pack my climbing gear, and ride the mountain roads in the north to the base of a few cliffs. We are at an impasse. So, how difficult would it be to bring a rifle to Italy and shoot a match like this one?

Re: "Precision Valley sniper cup"Italy , June 2nd 2010

I'm taking some informations to do the same thing.... my rifle and all the gear to the USA...

as soon as I'll have some news I'll up date the post.

Thanks! awesome pictures and great job, really impressive

Re: "Precision Valley sniper cup" - PIX ( heavy )

That looks like fun! I like the course of fire idea of having to pack-up and leave under time constraints in order to complete the stage.

Re: "Precision Valley sniper cup" - PIX ( heavy )

Great pictures, thanks for sharing.

 

[Pinco Palla]

Re: "Precision Valley sniper cup" - PIX ( heavy )

Thank you .

The biggest difficulties I met were to find the 16"x16" brown targets with the wooded or wheat fields backgrounds and also the missing of drinking water.

I had a couple of liters in my CamelBak but they were gone in just 7 hours , we could not be resupply until the end of the match .

Hi and thanks for the pics.

Could you post some more information on the rules and limitations of the equipment.
Where was the competition.

I'd like to participate next year. (I think i'll need some training first.) Italy is big, but I think for me it would not be too far.

Re: "Precision Valley sniper cup" - PIX ( heavy )

Re: "Precision Valley sniper cup" - PIX ( heavy )

That looks great guys. Beautiful country and its just the right terrain to have a match. I wish my flat 1200 yard range was hilly like that. Good to see others in the world having great matches. Wish I could join you. Congrats on a good time.

Re: "Precision Valley sniper cup" - PIX ( heavy )

Great photos.

Pardon my ignorance; but what is Milsec? [Tried to work it out from the link, but my Italian is non-existent!

- I get the impression this is a civilian club competition - but can't tell for sure!]

Have you ever had competitors from other EU countries before? (& any idea if Italy requires more than a European Firearms Pass to bring a 308 in from within the EU?)

Apologies for '20 questions'; but I quite fancy a reason for a trip to Italy!

[Ewen; take note!]
