awsome car, personally i lusted over the 67 stingray. also i have a cousin that makes a living writing about vettes. (boring life
huh)
now to the rifle. sorry to get involved at such a late date but i work out of town.
i dont know where your from but it sounds like you live close to a range. so why not hang around for several matches. join the club, chat with competitors. pick their brains before spending cold hard cash.
maybe find someone that used to compete but because of health or finances has to take a hiatus. one can usually get a good deal under these conditions.
possibly their gun has a borderline barrel on it but if your interest is perked then break for a rebarrel over the winter. if a benchrest gunsmith built the rifle then you would have a good foundation to build a winning rifle later too without having to get another totally new rifle project and respend hard earned cash.
last but not least check the classified adds on this website. possibly someone wants to sell the rifle they used for several seasons to fund the newest and latest whizbang action for their new rifle.
just suggestions as that is how i would enter to competition phase of this sport. realistically just the reloading and testing phase of this sport has pretty high costs for one on a one grand budget.
