Thread: F-Class

As EBF says the entire NRA is old (and some I think are a bit senile) and TR only fanatics. In fact some even said that they didnt want ppl who thought they were snipers anywhere near "their range" (hence why I wonder about the sanity of some of them). However I spent 2 years pointing out that FTR ppl was on the increase, and that we needed members or we are poked, I think I got a wee bit of traction on one or two ppl. As an example I think NRA has about 250 members nationwide, you cant run a functional organisation on that number.

If you want a competitive FTR its a specialist gun, so $1700 for a single shot Barnard P action, about $1k for a Kreiger 30inch SS match barrel, about $1k for a good enough stock and bipod and $1500 for a good enough scope so you are up around $5k. F-open, similar setup except instead of a barrel per 4 years 1 or more per year...ie 4000 rounds v 750.

I tend to agree that statistically the NRA is dead, especially as I think they dont seem to want recover, just keep the game going until they are all too old. Hence why I have been taking an interest in 223 and the WSRA. There is supposed to be a 600yd rnage coming soon, if its a goer I might just drop Trentham its going to get ugly so I want to be well away if so.

What I do is shoot 303brit for short ranges (<=600yds) and I will go back to FTR for >=800 next season, my eyesight is now just not up to TR.
