Well, I hit the lottery. I was just informed by an NRA rep. that my name was drawn to attend, free of charge, Thunder Ranch's Precision Rifle 2 class in Oct.. (LEO only lottery)
I've read some articles about this class and gotten all the info I can from their web site. Has anyone been to this class? If so I'd like to hear your experiences.
I'll be taking my Remington 700P. It currently has a 1st gen Springfield Armory 4-14X56 Government scope on it. This scope has no paralax adjustment. I'm wondering how much of a handicap this will be. Most shooting is supposed to be within 600 yds. however there is some shooting out to 1000 yds.. With the extremely short notice of this class I am really strapped for cash (travel, room and board are not included) and can't really afford a new scope. If I really stretch things I can maybe get a Tasco Super Sniper. Sniper Country has very good things to say about this scope.
Any thoughts, advice, suggestions?
