First long range toy

[Spdu4ia]

Thanks , already pulled off the grip tape. It was so coarse it was tearing my hands up. I'll do some different grip material more rubber like this time. Ordered some firearm grip tape but was thinking of marinetex. Anyone here use it?

Still working up my ammo so hopefully next month I'll be ready.

Very very nice!

Need some more trigger time so I don't embarrass myself !

Nope. Just get out there and do it.

Getting the guts to go out there for your first match is the hardest part.

Looks to me like you know how to shoot.

Few new pics and a request for a picture of the bolt handle

Congrats on the new rifle, and great shooting.

Matches ARE the trigger time/practice.

Wise words right there.

Advice on weather to upgrade to a tilt bipod or keep this one? Necessary for matches or could I do it with a fixed?

[Tim K]

Absolutely get one that tilts and add a scope level.

[Spdu4ia]

I've got a scope level (you can see it in the first post) I'll look into getting a tilting harris.

Also if I were you when you go to the new bipod, get the 9-13" notched swivel one. The Bench rest (6-9" IIRC) is just a little low for a lot of field match work, sometimes that little extra is just what you need.
