Should be a good rifle. Do you have any long range experience? Always great fun getting started at it. DCRA is at Borden this year. Something to remember, no matter how hard you scrub the barrel it wont make it shoot better. Most TR shooters have figured out that if you clean once a year is adequate, but test it. Hope you got the MOA version of the scope so you can shoot some of the team matches. One must be a ruthless judge of ones own performance!
Only long range experience on Vancouver Island is a couple of shoots at the Nanaimo Military Range (600 yards) and at the Campbell River Gun Club, reopening soon (600 yards). Will be doing some traveling to the BC mainland for longer shoots (1000 yards).

Thanks, splatter targets not useful for accurately determining group size, but ok for load development. I am moving to new 200 yard F Class targets (centres) on 100# paper from Staples. Much better for accurately determining groups size.

Apologize ….. just cautious.
We have a Maximum of 900 yards here in Kammy and Barrier has 700 metres and we shoot 500 metres in Heffley Creek . Barrier HOPEFULLY will have Well in excess of a 1000 metres by next year and Heffley Creek is working on a new range with a 1000 metre space too . RJ
Sounds like the North Thompson is the place to live. I was talking to Dave Diana at the Nanaimo range earlier in the week about the range plans in the area, Seems that in short order there will be three nice ranges in the area. I have my condo for sale, will then buy a RV toy hauler for traveling to various ranges for shooting. Seems the Thompson area will be the place to settle and shoot ...,,

Are the targets the same size between sling and FTR?
No, the Vbull on an FCLASS target is 1/2 MOA an the bull is one MOA
On a TR target it is 1 MOA and 2MOA respectively.
The aiming point is the same however, so when we use E targets when shooting with the F'rs, they give us a 1 point handicap.
If I shoot a bull on an Fclass target with my irons rifle they count it as a V, if I shoot an inner (4) they count it as a bull, a magpie(3) is counted as a 4 and so on.
That being said, I would not want to bet against a master class TR shooter on any given day!

200 yard target has inner ring at 1” and outer ring at 2”.
600 yard target has inner ring at 3” and outer ring at 6”.
0.5 moa for inner ring and 1.0 moa is standard on all F Class targets out to 1000 yards.
Thanks. I've been printing my own 50M and 100M (airgun) target rings for couple years and my old Brother laser printer always gives me headaches whenever I need to scale. Otherwise the printer works OK but with scaling the image is a @#^%$.
Knowing dimensions always helps.
