Best looking??????? Sorry bigred, couldn't resist :) RG

My Cooper Custom Classic weighs in at ≈ 7.1 lbs. with a Leupold VX-III 2.5-8x36 mounted. IR50/50 stipulates ≤ 7.5 lbs. with a 6.5X scope. Mine might weigh a tad less than a normal Custom Classic as it was ordered with both a skeletonized butt plate and grip cap. This rifle's primary attribute...

Cooper would be my first choice. Anschutz and Ultra-Light Arms make some incredably accurate (and expensive) rimfires also. CZ's can work with a little trigger work and some free floating but they will not hang with the others as far as guilt edge accuracy goes. They are however very accurate...

I'll get a hold of someone in charge at Harris and see what's up. Hopefully there are one or two disciplines that I could use a scoped M1A in at long range. I was shying away from the service rifle game as it would require more of an investment (coat, mat, glove, etc.) and my eye sight is not...

Thanks for the links holl, I'll check them out. Thanks for the rule notification dmoran65. Makes sense. The last thing I would want is an empty case flying in front of my scope just as I was getting ready to set one off. I'll probably try some service rifle matches around here first and see...

Thanks for the input gentlemen. It pretty much falls in line with what I was expecting. My M1A is box stock but came as what Springfield terms "loaded" meaning mostly national match hardware. I have no doubt that it will shoot sub 0.5" MOA as I have already done that and I've barely scratched...

Would the Springfield M1A in .308 group well @ 1000 yards? I was thinking of trying mine at a local match but did not want to make a fool of myself. I believe I can load the Berger 175 VLT moly to around 2650 fps which should keep it from going subsonic at 1K. Any suggestions/advice would be...

Where can you purchase regulation USRA IR50/50 targets? I plan on taking in my first match (ever) later this month and would like some regulation targets to practice on. Thanks, RG

Understood. I have a sporter coming that might be an ounce or so heavy depending on the scope I finally end up with. For now it will wear a T24 Weaver and I would feel a little foolish coming to the "sporter" line with a 24x scope. If the other shooters are cool with it I might do it for a...

I plan on shooting IR 50/50 for the first time this summer and need your input on two scopes I have my eye on. I will be shooting in the sporter class which is limited to a 6.5x scope. I was looking at two Leupold scopes that are offered in gloss (definately want a gloss scope) that would also...

What ammo are you using in the JSR? I have a Custom Classic I will be using in IR 50/50 this summer (first time competing). RG

katokoch, I to am planning on doing my first IR 50/50 match at Gopher Campfire this summer. I talked to a couple of people up there and they seem very friendly and layed back (my kind of people). Their main goal seems to be having fun. I plan on shooting the 10.5 and 13.5 classes as the only...

Thanks Fred! It does look like they have dropped the Master's, HP's and Club's (along with some others) this year. RG

I understand that the Midas L/M from last year has been replaced by an improved offering called Midas+. Has the Master L/M line been dropped in lieu of the new X-ACT? Also, have the Hollow Point, Subsonic HP, Super Club and Standard Club all been dropped as well? Thanks, RG

I bought a bunch of boxes of ammunition last year in preperation for a new rifle that should be arriving shortly (to see what it likes). Problem is Eley has mixed things up a bit this year and I do not want to test ammo that has been dropped from their line. As I understand it, I should be...
