Just moved here at the end of last year. Joined Magnolia yesterday and now I would like to try F Class. I enjoy all forms of competition shooting and shooting at long range. Have attended long range shooting classes and recorded my data out to 700 yards.

,

Would like to shoot either of the heavy barreled .308's. Have Harris bipods..What else will I need?

 

[SubGunFan]

You need to give me one of those nice rifles so I can start shooting F-Class..... The one on top will do.....

.

 

[rdinak]

Well we could learn together..Have several hundred match loads ready to go.

 

[jbpmidas]

Left hand rifle built by GAP. Remington 700, Rock Barrel 11.27 twist, 22 inches, Manners stock, Badger 20 MOA Rail, Bolt knob, Rings..

[nonnieselman]

All you need is some ear protection and a ride down to bogue chitto. Oh and bring ammo
bunch of good guys to shoot with down there.

 

[mildot]

Very nice pair of rifles, come on down and shoot with us. :gun:

 

[msredneck]

Nice NF scope on the top....

Yep

Like X-ring said, 4th Sat of month

send X-ring a pm and get on the email distribution list

Ok....I just gotta ask....How come one rifle has a left hand bolt and one a right handed?

I realize you lefties have long had to adapt to the real world of us right handers :lol: :j/k:

Come join us at Bogue Chitto, friendly folk shooting F class...U like!

 

[mstrophyhunter]

either one of those rifles should do real good at the f-class matches at bogue chitto come on down and shoot with us i usually pick up a rider in byram you are welcome to meet us there and follow are put stuff in with us and ride shooting mat , bipod , and rear bag and your ready . got to ask same question as neck why is one a lefty and one right ?

 

[rdinak]

I shoot a long gun left handed because I am right eye dominant. Have two sons..So I built a right handed for them to shoot with me. Off the bench or bi-pod one works as good as the other.

I will try to attend the match at the end of the month. Yall be easy on the new guy..

 

[msredneck]

I hear ya on the eye dominance thing.....I'm right handed left eye dominant....

I just try to with right eye...it aint easy...sometimes I'll catch myself trying to use the left...

They treat the newbies well at Bogue....They chained me down in the rifle pit 5 or 6 hours first time I went this summer...after I was good and dehydrated..they let me out....then let me shoot a few rounds when the match was over... :bsflag:

I got even and bought the match directors rifle :lol4:


J/K Come shoot...but be sure to sign up early for the match cause X-Ring has been gathering a big crowd....

wait a minute im confused. if your right eye is dominant then why not shoot right handed?

 

[eight_heads]

Glad to see I'm not the only lefty around... anyway, all you would need for f-class is your rifle, water, shooting mat, ammo, hearing protection, and a rear bag if you want it. Your Harris bipod will be fine, or you can shoot with a front rest if you want to shoot in the open class(which tends to be a tougher crowd). Also, you may want to bring a chair and a spotting scope to help score another person shooting on the same line position as you. You should head out to Bogue Chitto and give it a try!
