.223 at 600 yards looking for feedback on my curent build

[bravo3]

DZ, does it cost to come out to palo to watch?

Hey, don't forget those of us that shoot .223 in F-TR, too. Although my barrel is 1:6.5 twist.

Looks like you guys did well at Perry this year.

I was just going to give him an opportunity to really learn how to shoot.

Perry was good this year. I finished 34th in the President's Match - 1st round in the X ring at 600. Felt really good.

Decide on a price range and then start looking into the most bang for your buck. I have a Nightforce on my bolt .223, a Nikon Monarch on my match AR and a Leupold on my FPR Grendel.

Dan, that is yet another victory to add this week

Bask while you can. We won't talk about those other matches.

Yes. Quite a bit actually. If you come watch, we will invite you to shoot, even if it is only a few rounds. If you shoot, you will start to spend money. It is how we hook the newbies.

Hahaha! Yeah I hear ya. But you got that big old X ring to shoot at. Btw- took 2nd in FTR today out of 18. Not bad for a .223 against them .308's. Missed a Master score by 1 point.

I followed you guys as much as I could and appeared to be one of the best years for the Louisiana contingency.

I want to thank everyone for all the feed back. Yes you are right it's better to ask first but oh well lessen learned. I also am not going to start nitpicking my rifle before I get the chance to put lead down range. Need to see where I stand first. This post was more a question about ammo than anything else. I will be coming out to PA this next weekend to start geting in on the fun at least watching.

I still don't any idea about optics. So in the spirit of asking first, anyone want to put in there opinion pls speak up!

No nit picking on the rifle. Your set-up will work just fine.

If you think that X-ring is so big, leave the artificial support at home.

Congratulations on the shooting today.

We shot really well in the team match. AKajun whipped my ass. Other than the team match, I picked up another President's medal and a Gold in the National Trophy Individual match. Buck picked up a bronze and the rest were shut out. Most of us left before the Games matches began; but I saw that the guys who stayed picked up some medals there.

A/A,

Take it from someone like yourself you can't ask for a better bunch of guys to hang out with and learn how to shoot long distances from. I am still learning and have a similar setup. I have shot two matches so far, very addictive! BTW I'm in Denham area too.

Nah, I found I didn't have a masochistic streak like y'all do!

Hahaha... So true, so true. This is how I got into pistol shooting years ago.

 

[bearfutedninja]

Tell me once you find out what load you are running, since we have the same barrel mine is just 4 inches longer

 

[AgelessAnarchy]

Will do, so far I am going with the 77g SMK and will have to play with the load once I have the rifle assembled and can make test batches to see what it likes specifically.
