[QUOTE="DMP25-06, post: 2237481, member: 27271"] Yes sir , I knew that F-Class was started in Canada , by "Farky" so that scopes could be used on rifles , and it was promoted as "Bring what you have , and compete against others , hunters , like yourself". I have competed in both F-Open class ( Any cartridge , maximum weight 22 Pounds ) ,and F-TR class ( Military cartridges , 7.62mm or 5.56mm , maximum weight of 19#4oz., shot from bi-pods) , in 1000 yard and 600 yard matches held by the Texas State Rifle Association , State Championships , using my hunting rifles . My Remington Model 700 Sendero in 7mm Rem.Mag. , with a 6x24 Sightron S-III scope (total weight of 10# 8oz.) in F-Open class , and my .308 Win. Remington 700 5R Milspec , with Leupold Mark IV 4.5 x 14 scope in F-TR (total weight of 10# 8 oz., including bi-pod) . I entered these matches just to compete against myself , and see how I would do against regular/dedicated competitors . My best score at 600 yards was in F-TR , 1143 out of possible 1200 . (.308 Win. Rem 700 5R Milspec), year 2015 . My best score at 1000 yards was in F-TR , 1130 out of possible 1200 . (.308 Win. Rem. 700 5R Milspec) year 2016 . My F-Open score at 1000 yards was 1098 out of possible 1200 , using my Rem. 700 Sendero 7mm Rem.Mag. Year 2013 . Both of these rifles were bought across-the-counter , NO modifications except changing the triggers to a Timney hunting trigger with 2# pull weight . All of the competitors were WONDERFUL PEOPLE , but I knew after competing against them , shooting in relays along side of them , and spotting and scoring for them , I realized that if I wished to be able to really compete for the championships , I would have to spend a large sum of money and TIME, and travel . TIME to pursue this pastime was what I did not have . But it was a great experience . DMP25-06 [/QUOTE]
