I shoot highpower rifle as well, an AR15 service rifle.
For me, it's all about the people. My first time out, I was a stranger that didn't let anyone at the club know I was showing up in advance, I didn't have a rifle or any gear with me, and I had guys falling over themselves to loan me thousands of bucks worth of gear to shoot. A few matches under my belt, and they're still ready and willing to help, no questions asked. And now I do the same for anyone I can kidnap and drag out to a match with me. I'd be doing those guys a disservice by not offering any less to anyone else.
