I really went to try and make this match, this is one of the few things I haven't gotten to shoot before Got to come up with a few pieces of equipment to get up , like a two piece rest. Got three different rifles I think will work. Got to see if they will sight in and what ammo works the best. And make such nothing get in the way.

I've never heard of this before and I'm intrigued. What's a relatively inexpensive rifle I can use for something like this? Would a Ruger precision be ok or am I needing something nicer?

 

[LeeB]

Ruger Precision will work fine. You also need as much scope as you can get.

Sir, Check out Arken rifle scope. For the package + price, it is hard to beat. Don't for get to click on the link in video descriptions (https://bit.ly/2RhGrUM) for $170 off. I would buy the Combo package with scope purchase. You'll have everything you need. https://www.arkenopticsusa.com/online-store/Combo-Pack-p420045436

Also, my friend help develop Bushnell Pro for NRL22, Great value as well. https://www.bushnell.com/riflescopes/match-pro/match-pro-6-24x50-riflescope/P2178035.html

I ended up down the rabbit hole reading up on this. 40x minimum?

 

[LeeB]

Yes, big power will help. Also GOOD ammo.

Yes sir, the Ruger is used by many shooters.

 

[kirbwrx]

What kind of rest should I be looking at?

 

[LeeB]

Two piece rest. Bag in the rear and adjustable front or a bipod.

 

[Mr.T]

Sir, I used Bipod or Caldwell rest, and bag for the rear. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000S5W78A?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Will there be a "shift" in benches in between the courses of fire?
And, as an early FYI, I shoot from a wheelchair, so I have to set up between benches as the seats are not removable. It could get crowded. Just saying. Looking forward to it.

No, we will not shift benches between targets.

I'd love to go, have a nice rifle but my scope is just not up to the task. Looking into good scopes but have lots of expenses right now so might take a bit before I'm ready to try my hand at a competition. Maybe next month!
