One thing to consider is having a time and true done by Fred if he can do a decent turnaround. Upsetting the rifle when cocking is a serious issue for shooting small groups. His work often makes cocking a lot easier assisting you to keep the rifle settled.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
A guy I'm stationed with shoots a bone stock LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor off a bipod in local matches. 2 weeks ago at the monthly match at CMP Talladega, he shot a 296/300 (High Master). The gun you have now is more than capable of winning you a match if you can shoot that well and read wind. Stick with what you've got and shoot with your current equipment until you decide to upgrade. You don't need a fancy rest to be competitive. It may help, but when the wind isn't crazy, FTR scores with a 223 or 308 off a bipod aren't too far behind the open shooters and their mechanical rests.
Also, a Dasher is competitive at 1000. Nail down a good load and go shoot.
