Newly retired. I am trying to decide between 1000 yard BR or F- Class. So far Ive been shooting 1000 yards from a bench here in TN with a 6BRA / REM Action/ Brux. Ive achieved single digit SD by focusing and spending$ on good reloading components etc. I shoot pretty good with my setup. Anyway it’s time to kick it up a notch but here’s the thing.. it’s a $6000 entry fee OR more to build a competitive rifle plus a $2000 rest. A wrong decision between BR or F-Class is costly.
My gunsmith is a winning 1000 yard IBS shooter.. he gets to compete 5-6 times per year and drives distances. He can build me a winning BR rifle. BUT I think Im headed toward F-Class. Ive only seen 2 real BR guns at Dead Zero.. the guys were doing load development etc and frankly they were jerks when I approached to ask questions.. I am no annoying puppy dog either. There are no LR BR matches at Dead Zero.
F-Class… the guys are like… “come on bring what you have well bend the rules if needed to get you shooting … we have competition 2 days per month…. Etc etc. So there’s that element plus constant scanning of the net and YouTube I find much more in the way of F-Class.
Check out the IBS tab on the Accurate Shooter forum tab. Anyway.. I want to join where it appears to be growing and people have time to speak etc…
Now I am going to scope out what I need to build a competitive F-Class rifle… with BR or F-Class there are so many opinions on this subject I can’t sort through it all and come out confident.
Sorry for the long post.. this thread a super timely for me and I suspect there are others like me…
Cheers Gil
