[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 851303, member: 43153"] I'm trying to absorb everything you are saying. Sounds like there is a lot of wisdom behind it. I think the F class that you mentioned is probably the way I would want [and have] to roll, due to the weight issue. I AM really thinking about going completely untapered now, if it's unrealistic to think that I could have any chance at being competetive otherwise. But you say it best to first attend some matches, strictly as a spectator. They do happen to host 1000yd BR competition matches about 45 minutes away from me. I'll have to find out what the name of the club is, then download their match schedule. I did order the rock (not the BR version though) front rest 3 days ago, because I know I need to ditch the bipod, due to it's adverse effects on accuracy (with a sporter barrel, anyways). My budget IS limited, but it does make sense that I should see what equipment the highest scoring shooters are using, before I buy anything else, without having any idea what it's potential is. OK, I gotta go mull over this barrel taper thing for a while. [/QUOTE]
