My factory VARMINT/HEAVY BARREL rifle shoots sub .75" all day! Really? Prove it!

I think its going to be as much about who the good shots are. I would bet that the guys that make the list would be able to do it with a comparable rifle from Browning, Remington, Ruger, Sako, Savage etc.

You must remember that this isn't a competition. It is simply a challenge. Therefore it doesn't really matter if all the guns are on a level playing field. The reason I am considering adding aftermarket stocks is simply to include more people.

Challenge = Competition =)


Whenever you get a challenge, you have differences in the ability of meeting that challenge. There will always be considerations on which easier to qualify.

It's all fun and relies on honesty. I get that.

As it stands right now your gun does not qualify for the challenge. There is a post about possibly changing the rules to allow aftermarket stocks. Find that post and read it. Thanks Rod

I am considering changing the factory stock requirement. I am going to decide this with a vote! PM me with either "factory stock only" or "aftermarket allowed". I will accept votes until 10pm central tonight (Feb 7). Only the PM votes will count. Feel free to voice your opinion here in the thread.

Nice shooting BongoBob!

My only question is can you get a Rem 7 with that stock as factory? I know they make the green/black ones, but being black/grey would mean it was switched. (i think). Only reason is because mines not much different being a medalist stock but until more people pipe up, I'm in the modified must be .5 class.

(just complain for me so whiners like me can attempt to compete for some challenge)

BTW, I like that stock. I was torn between black/gray, grey/black, and the brown/black. Grey was my fav but I just decided to go brown/black. It was a tough decision.

Why not allow any stock that can be found on a factory rifle?

An aftermarket B&C would be no go under present rules but that same stock can be found on a factory offering which would be ok. That doesn't make much sense.

the only challenge that I don't have a barrel for. Oh well.

ps ahepner - nice shooting with that Savage and MPOD.
 
Is it possible to up load photos from a iPhone ? I would like to submit a target but I haven't figured how to upload pics , this would be a great challenge for me my rifle can easily shoot 3 rounds under .6 but yo put 5 five found groups on one target would be a challenge
 
I understand what you are saying Jerry. But I can already see 3 pages of "they never offered that stock on a stainless action" "yes they did here is the link" "that isn't the same rifle. That barrel is fluted the one you linked to isn't"
 
The aftermarket guys better start voting. They are behind right now. *remember to send me your vote via private message or it won't count*
 
If you want to stick to the factory rule I would go with "factory barreled action". Triggers, DBM's, and stocks/chassis systems would restrict a lot of people. My rifle's completely stock so I have no bias it just seems the most inclusive while still excluding the "custom" builds.
 
UTG, understood, that type of cat fighting does nothing to get shooters out to the range.

the barreled action is the key. One of my rifles will have a Savage sporter barrel and an axis action in another stock. Would this qualify as a factory sporter rifle?

Man, I think the concept of a friendly competition of pure factory guns is long overdue. Leave it like it is. Only modifications that should be allowed are trigger adjustments, bedding of factory stock, and any cutting and/or re-crowning of a factory barrel. None of this hodge-podge of parts & pieces to arrive with a combination that didn't come from the factory as a standard option rifle.

This is the HS Precision stock that came with the rifle from the factory...I like it...not sure if it came on any other models but the VSF
and VSSF Sendero.

There is still time to vote. Plus the hunting rifle challenge is pretty pure. But no one has completed it yet.
 
i think you should have it as "barreled action"

only because there will be a number of people that can shoot thier gun in any of the challenges, those of us with a stock barrel but an aftermarket stock and other goodies.

you may see an increase if it were "my stock barrel can shoot"
