    Incredible, and great to hear. Victory is yours. Looks like a first place and a second place to me.

    Here are the stage briefs. Will link stage footage later this morning as I just got them uploaded to YT. I'll also get to the questions in the above comments.

    Ok, so this was a high paced match! General rule of thumb was if you cleaned all the targets you could continue to run through them multiple times up to the time the clock ended. All stages were 90secs with Stage 1 being the only one that was completed 1 time through for time as the tie breaker stage.

    I was pretty much on point yesterday and my gear followed suit! Due to the COF allowing for shooting through the stages multiple times holdovers were a huge time saver! I think I only touched my turrets 2 times all day. This is where I have fallen in love with the Horus H59 Reticle! The Bushnell HDMR2 continues to become more comfortable at every match I run it in!

    Total rifle components as requested:

    Action: American Rifle Company Mausingfield with LRI Bolt knob and 30MOA Base
    Barrel: X-Caliber Cryo treated 8 Twist 6.5 blank
    Chamber/Contour: Apache Gun Works 6.5x47 Lapua 140 Hybrid Reamer 25" Heavy Palma
    Muzzle Brake: Kahntrol Solutions CWES Hexmod
    Trigger: Timney Calvin Elite 2 Stage (8oz/8oz pull weight)
    Stock: McMillan A5 Bedded with Surgeon Bottom Metal
    Scope Rings: American Rifle Company M10 Medium height
    Scope: Bushnell HDMR2 (I have an XRS2 with H59 inbound)
    Bipod: Tiptop Rifle Bipod S9 variant
    Ballistic Solver: GeoBallistics with Weatherflow Meter
    Magazines: American Rifle Company (10rds) and Accurate mags (10rds w/ +2 Extenders). I swap around depending on the stage.

    Accessories: Reasor Precision Original Game Changer Bag, Wiebad Pump Pillow, Short Action precision 2 Round Holder, Sidewinder Industries Dope Card holder, and Eberlestock Lodrag bag.

    If you have any questions please throw them out there! I actually made a lot of minor mistakes throughout the stages on this match and was just fortunate enough that my pace was able to get enough points to tie for 2nd, but fast enough to win the tie breaker! All around fun match and a great charity event.

    Great trigger control & follow-through in all your stages, and solid-as-possible positions before engaging. Excellent shooting.

    Jim thanks for the notes! I actually decided to shoot this match last minute so I spent all Wednesday and Thursday night prepping brass and loading ammo. I had done about an hours worth of dry fire practice over the weekend as this weekend I will be shooting in the Virginia Precision Rifle Club's Finale match. Hoping to be as successful there as well in a very competitive field of shooters!

    There are always a number of factory Savage and custom Savage rifles at these matches.

    I hardly ever saw any savage actions used besides from josh temmen.

    I think mpa running it for a little bit in their production class package as well as savage coming out with some production class worthy options has increased the amount on the line in the past year.
