Hey Guys and Gals,
There is a competition next weekend down in NC that I am participating in, but am not sure what rifle to use. It is a 5 to 800 yard competition, with rifle and pistol, real world simulations with adverse angles, off hand shooting, approximate distance, calisthetics and all. I'm not sure what rifle to bring though. I have a 16" 1 in 9 twist AR with a burris MTAC 1-4x and grip pod that I was thinking of bringing, but the BDC is only good to 600 yards. I also have a CETME that has had a decent amount of tweaking done to it that I have a red dot on, but could add a 6-24x scope to that I could bring, though I've never shot it past 100 yards.
I know neither of these are ideal, but the rifle I wanted to buy (700 ps with a super sniper) I had to put on hold due to a family emergency so I am playing with what I got.
I have a 300 yard range that I can practice and sight in at this week.
I know the ar is reliable and sighted in well, and I could figure out the drop from data and sight in at 200 or 300 yards and use the drop data different than the ranges. However, the 1 in 9 barrel means I'll have to use probably 62 or 65 grain bullets, and the 16" puts me at a velocity disadvantage. The CETME is accurate at 100 yards but I'm not sure what it will do beyond that, however being in 308 with a longer barrel should give me an advantage there.
What do y'all recommend?
Thanks in advance.
Jeremy
