Rail Guns at 600 yard BR

[Mulligan]

Kind of amazing what a few conversations and phone calls started, but this could be a hoot!

I never considered a rail.......... until now.
Not sure if I need help, or should just get it over with, and order one?

I totally agree with you on that Geo.
I have a feeling there definitely listening.

 

[Mulligan]

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

All of these shooting organizations came along after a bunch of shooters decided to get together and have some fun. Not the other way around.

I guess if you are shooting unregistered as they did before organizations it doesn't make any difference, if the other way then it would if they recognize records and points and such then it would ....

Stan, there are so many rules it doesn't comply with... I for one don't see it happening, I remember Tom's heavy gun that did comply..... jim

We will be shooting unlimited at Western Colorado this year.
We will shoot the same format for 600 yards, 4 target-5 shots each.
Unlimited with a caliber restriction.

Count me in. It's only 806 miles. Do you have a two day weekend planned? I would like to shoot
LG, HG, and Rail. Caliber restriction? No .338 ? Shucks. D

 

[geo.ulrich]

damn Don some people are lucky not having to travel to far....around 1200 each way for me....

We'll Jim just use the basic short range rules ,Rome wasn't built in a day,have to start somewhere, I think it's very intriguing ultimate accuracy at its best.

No points, not registered, more exploratory or experimental in nature.
Yes at a registered 600 yard IBS match.

I think David @David 0306 at Red, White, and Blue will also be running these matches.

Don,
We had to postpone our State tournemant due to the virus.
When we reschedule it, I will let you know. It will be a two day match with sight in on Friday.
We also have a Regional 2 day match scheduled for the first weekend in Oct.
Both will be LG, HG, Unlimited.
Again, no points or IBS awards for the Unlimited class

I'm kinda at a crossroads with things as they are.
BR & rail guns to my thinking are more engineering tests.
Aside from some fiddling with the front rest, the only human interaction with the gun is the trigger finger.

Not a challenge for shooter ability, as i see it.

It's pretty obvious you never shot a WSM in a 17 pound gun. Matt

Kent,

Have you ever shot or owned a true IBS Legal HG? Other than Being more of a PITA to set up They are just as much “point and click” as a rail gun. Hell many of the LGs track so well they go back to point of aim.

Pretty obvious you never shot a 308 Baer or WSM in a 17 pound gun. Matt

Nope! Don’t know why I’d ever want to! But a 6mm in a Wheeler Stock tracks like a rail gun!

 

[R.Morehouse]

The Wheeler gun I had ( BRA ) DID shoot like it was on rails when properly set-up. But for me, definitely not as " Plug & Play " as my rail. I use my rail mostly for teaching me how to read wind indicators ( flags/probe etc ). Kick back with a good cigar in my oversized fold-up chair with the rail set-up on the bench and touch it off when I am curious about what I am seeing the wind doing.....

Nope!
I built a Whitworth Mark X with 1.5 contour, 24" barrel with B&C stock in 284 Win that weighs in at 10lbs scoped.
And i don't carry that far from the truck!
