Applications for the June 30-July 1 2018 Nightforce Precision Tactical 2-Rifle match are up at: http://johnson3gun.webs.com/2-rifle-june-30-july-1-2018 There will be 10 stages and you will need to use BOTH an AR-15 and Precision Rifle (.223 to 30 caliber) on each stage. This year there is a 3000 fps speed limit on both rifles. This match has about 2 miles of walking each day...you carry all your stuff...but you can use multiple optics, binoculars, bags, bipods, tripods, stick, range finders, whatever as long as you can carry it!

I have no experience with precision rifle, and am wondering....how do I get started?!?! Does anyone have recommendations for precision/long range target practice in the Houston, TX and San Antonio areas?

I'm working on a Rem 700 SPS tactical 308 in a Magpul Hunter stock. Looking at scope bases, primary purpose of the rifle will be for mid range shooting, 500ish yards, just going to be a fun set up & I plan to hunt with it as well. Right now I am going to run a Viper PST 6-24x50 for a scope. Does anyone have a preference on the scope rail? I have a set of Seekins med height rings that I will be using. Just looking for opinions on the scope rail & whether or not the added MOA will be needed for my set up.

Several people - here, on other forums, at matches - have told me I need to dry fire to help work through some of the issues I am having with Precision Rifle. Having shot USPSA for many years, I understand the importance of Dry Firing, but I also understand the importance of GOOD Dry Fire. Not reinforcing bad habits, not just playing with the gun and calling it dry fire. For Pistol we have known experts and their work, both published and provided free, to reference. People like Steve and Ben have done a great job. But I am finding very little material on Dry Fire for the Precision Rifle. A small amount from sources for High Power and F-Class but little else. So does anyone know of any good reference material, either online or purchasable, on Rifle Dry Fire?

I bought my very first bolt rifle. A Remington 700 chambered in .308 WIN; 5-R MilSpec barrel. I know nothing about precision rifle but thought I'd learn. I'm not a big hunter but a little curious about the fascination of distance accuracy shooting. I went out on a limb. Literally hosting Sig Sauer Academy to instruct a Precision Scoped Rifle course in Arizona this September. Anyway, if this is posted in the wrong area of the forum, forgive me, move me, tell me. But I'll need some interest so that I can fill the course. I've got detailed info if you want to PM me. Tucson, AZ, 3-days / 24 hours and a challenging course where the wind blows in 3 directions.
