Hello guys,

Recently I got my new TR rifle and planning to shoot TR class next year. I need some advice on equipment.
For the front sight I ordered Rightsight 30mm standard height with a 4.0-6.0mm iris and a .5 lens.
For the rear - Warner Vernier sight #2.
I am not sure about iris for the back - Gehmann 510, 530, 570 or 575 - what do you think?

Another big question is a coat. I am thinking of Creedmoor, but what model (Hardback, Lite or Fullbore Prone)?
And last - sling, hand stop and glove.

Please share your experience to help this newb spend his money right.

Thanks a lot

Not highly experienced here, but here's something to think about:
Most of your shooting is going to be in the hottest months, so you should ask yourself do I want the stiffest looking shooting coat that chances are breath not as well?
IE-Maybe go with canvas/cotton/something breathable versus leather/synthetic. Also your sling, beware the narrower unlined sling, it may be more uncomfortable as it bites into your forearm after a long match.
That's about all I can contribute friend.

Cheers & good luck.....
 
CG Centra also makes a good rear sight. I've got 2 of them. There is also RPA trackker sights as well which Paul R sells from Kamploops BC. For a shooting coat you can also try Paul B. at centre the group he is out of Fergus Ontario. He also has a website.

For a rear iris, I like the 510, the basic model. But the irises with different colour shades are nice too.
 
I have a heavy leather Champions Choice hi power jacket that I have been using for about 13 years or so. I am thinking about changing to a Kurt Thune prone jacket.
For slings, an Anshutz synthetic works well and does not shrink and get stiff when it gets wet, like the leather ones do.
Gloves... I have tried just about everything from the heavy leather fingerless mitt, to full fingered gloves to fingerless gloves. Right now I am using a fingerless glove, but I also like the heavy leather fingerless mitt that I loaned to Syxx15 to try out.
For handstops I like the larger Champions Choice round knob handstop. I personally do not like the hard plastic Anshutz one but a lot of people do.
A basic iris like the 510 works well. I have one with coloured filters that cost about 3 times more and have found I used the filters once this year. Kind of a waste of money from my point of view.
