    Hello from Eastern PA


    Hi,

    Name is John, my family is in PA, I work in Chicago (unfortunately) and travel back/forth with little time to shoot. I have decided to join a club in Wisconsin (if I can, I'm outside their normal membership rules) and try to learn F-Class shooting. My stock 10FP, 20" 1:10, currently shoots sub MOA, probably about 0.75, but certainly no more than 1 MOA. I'm thinking of having some accurizing done, which on a Savage is fairly economical, and I bet would get it to about 0.5 MOA. This is lots better than several thousand to get another gun to shoot 0.25 MOA, I'm not going to ever be able to take advantage of that.

    I am an avid reloader, as well. I enjoy shooting AR's, old military rifles, and pistols, as well, but I'd really like to get into long-range precision shooting now. When I'm home I know I can do that at the New Holland Rifle Club. Hoping I can get into the Wisconsin club, too, will know soon.

    Cheers,

    John

    Precision is the key to accuracy.

    Always remember, good things come to those who shoot straight.
