First long range toy

[Spdu4ia]

Picked up this savage 10fcp-k a few months ago. Threw some parts at it with the plan of doing a budget build. I think it turned out great. This is my first long range toy and I am working up a load currently but Specs as follows.

Savage Fcp-k .308
Accustock duracoated coyote tan (DIY)
Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50
Vortex bubble level
Leupold med rings
EGW 20 Moa base (bedded)
Dark eagle 10rd mag
Harris bipod
Tactical works cheek pad
Polished bolt
Glades armory bolt handle
Lapped rings and action
Bedded action even though it wasn't needed
Filled buttstock with lead shot and sand
Skateboard grip tape on stock

So far this is my 3 rd group at 100yrds and I've been ringing steel at 1080 so far with plans to push it farther soon.

Nice rig!

You'll have more fun shooting these matches than anything.

Personally... I've shot 3 of these matches... 1 more than any others.
It is ridiculously fun... and very addicting.

Shooting passed 1K yards can be fun and you can learn a lot, but there is nothing like shooting a match that takes away your comfort zone... and you still come back for more

I like the skateboard tape.

I definitely plan to make it to a few matches here soon. Need some more trigger time so I don't embarrass myself !

Believe me... I've been there once to many even till this day I still shoot like sh*t... these matches are definitely a place to learn and break away from the norm of shooting (feeling the pressure). I can say this though. Attending these matches have made me shoot better at longer distances (without the pressure)..., and yes... I've been out shot by women, kids, and much older folks behind a rifle.

Either way... These matches are always open to us and are meant to have fun. Hopefully get to meet and see you at one of these events

I embarrass myself more often than not. It's a great motivator to improve. Take the good-natured ribbing without getting ass-hurt, and lots of good advice will follow. Great bunch of folks.

I dish out as much crap as I get so we are good there. Can't wait to get out and give it a try.

There's a match this Saturday at CRC. Bring 48 rounds and you'll leave a better shooter.

Matches ARE the trigger time/practice.
