1/4MOA
Member
I recently purchased a new rifle. I was wondering... is it suitable to compete in any matches(is it good enough) and if so what class should i shoot? Also i live in Eastern NC 20miles from the beach, is there anywhere closer than central NC(Camp Butner) to shoot? I have a range that goes to 1K at the house that i normally shoot on.
The gun is a remington 700P .308. I've got lepold optics(VX-III 6.5-20 with turrets) and the scope dope to reach 1000yds. At 100yds i'm averaging just under .5MOA with handloads. I believe that i can come up with some rounds that will do a little better than this however. Nothing has been done to the rifle such as bolt or action work and so on. Just a plain 700P.
I dont know what it takes to do well in these competitions but i can bust an egg on a golf tee at 300yds, and 20" X20" plate 1K (depending on wind, still learning the wind.) Any info will be appreciated. Thanks
