FR Gun Club - Precision Shooting

Precision Shooting ^ | Steve Adelmann

I heard about Storm Mountain’s sniper courses a couple of years ago. What is the cost running now? I’d imagine they are still every dime.

Precision shooting is probably one of the most addictive things someone can do without being arrested for it. Reloading your own match grade ammo is another time teaser. LOL

If I’m not there, look in three local gunsmiths backrooms, a neighbors garage (ex sniper)where we do our reloading, the ranch where we shoot, the patio, my garage, then of course the corner light, where I beg for quarters.

For many years I was a shotgunner:
Trap out to the 27 yard line, Skeet, Sporting clays,
a game called Riverside skeet on a very different field
and lots of Birds

This and tactical handguns.

I have just found the thrill of long range precision shooting.

Out here in the west, we like varmint guns.

I now shoot a Savage BVSS in 22-250
with a 8-24x44 mil-dot scope.
We use "tack-driver" sandbags

Every Sunday, we shoot pop cans at 300 yards and pop bottles at 600 yards.

I hope to get more accurate by loading my own very soon.

Once a month, a good ol boy brings out his Barrett .50
and we shoot a 36" gong at 1000 yds.

Storm Mountain is definitely worth the price (like LFI). Prices are about $250/day, which is quite reasonable (you'll spend more than that in ammo & equipment).

The most annoying thing is trying to find a >300m (preferably 1000m) range after taking such a delightful course. One good substitute is to go to a 100m range on a regular basis (the harder to get to the better), and fire only one shot and go home; that pounds into your head EVERY SHOT COUNTS.

Wow, small world... if you’ve been to SMTC then we probably know each other.

Long Range Rifle 1 & 2 in September 2000, IIRC?

[B4Ranch]

You need to come out West. Bring some ammo.

The coffee hardly cools and we are at a spot where we have in excess of 4000 feet.

Just LRR I; I haven’t been to LRR II yet, though I’ve got the rifle for it.

Im with you!! Precision is a relative term.

If I can keep a .54cal 450 grain bullet on a paper plate at 100 yds out of my Hawkin Im a happy camper.

Man it is a small world. I’ll second your comments about SMTC. Great school... and I’m not just saying that because I teach there... LOL

I’ve been into precision shooting for a while. Sadly, there is a lot of BS out there on the subject and rarely do people think out of the box. That’s one thing I love about SMTC. No other school in the nation will put you on targets at 1500 with a .308.

Anyway, check your PM.

I’m well aware of Sinclair, thanks. I was offered a couple of Halls over the past dozen years, but I didn’t have the money for the rest of the rifle. I should have bought them and waited.

[Fichori]

That hobby is above my pay grade.

Bummer.

Love the BVSS stock.

Unfortunately, mine(112BVSS) split from recoil.

Free floating a heavy barreled 7mm Rem Mag in a wood stock with steel pillars that are not glued DOES NOT WORK.
