In September there will be a local NRA 600yard shooting match at Stone Bay rifle range at near by Camp LeJeune here in NC. At the moment I have very little information on the event (such as type of target, string of fire and so on) it is however, my understanding that it is an open sight event for any center fire rifle. I have a packet on the way.
I have never shot in an event of this type and am not sure as to what to expect. I do intend to make a good showing for a firs-timer so I am preparing now.
So … my questions are: which rifle; what ammo; what other gear; and how do I train?
I have two rifles that may do well at 600y … The first is a Savage 110 in 7mm mag. The 2nd is an AR-15 HBAR. I am leaning heavily toward the HBAR. It has the 1/7 twist and the standard A-2 target sights.
What are your recommendations?
