Thread: What caliber are you shooting F-Open with?

@janleroux, a number of us here have Howa Varmints. You can get a barrelled action for $800-900 and various stocks/chassis. Cheap and effective way to start, they are very very accurate rifles and good value. Mine is 24" in 6.5 Creedmoor, will shorten it in time. Its not a rifle to shoot off-hand in the current config. 20" barrelled Howa Varmints in 6.5CM go very well.

Reading about your wish to have one rifle for both disciplines, you'll be a bit buggered by the weight of a long heavy barrel in PRS. My cuzzies in the US have competed very successfully with shortened medium contour barrels on their Savage rifles, .308s at 18-20". No accuracy penalty downrange, portable, reasonable weight.

That said, as @Beetroot said it would be hard to look past a T3 CTR as an all rounder.
