[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1120787, member: 27307"] flashpoint, F-TR = "TR", standing for "Target Rifle", is a subcategory of F-Class competition, limited to .223- and .308-caliber rifles. At many matches, F-TR competitors are restricted to bipod, ruck or sandbags, though at the Nationals (US) a front rest was allowed. The chassis in the photograph is an MDT TAC-21 with their Skeleton Buttstock. Here in the States that's about a $1,000.00 chassis system, not including the bipod. There is nothing wrong with the Stiller action, the Lothar Walther barrel or Timney trigger insofar as being able to compete in F-TR. All three components can perform the necessary tasks required for participation in this sport. You do not have to have the other brands named in order to be competitive. I use a Bartlein barrel and a Jewell trigger in a couple of different chassis when I compete. The .308 Win. cartridge is the great equalizer in the competition. It's the best driver that wins. If you like the rifle and feel comfortable shooting it then have at it and ENJOY! After some more experience you might want to modify your choice but you can certainly compete with it as is right now so long as you make the weight restriction. Regards. [/QUOTE]
