2nd Annual NWCSA Scout Rifle match

Nice.

I've not seen the 130gr Speer 6.8 bullets anywhere. Good luck with the load development.

Why not just go with the 6.5 Grendel? Both set-ups are crazy expensive and you won't be pushing the safety boundaries with the Grendel.

See you in a few weeks,

Craig

PS - I think you with a lot of time on your hands (or butt as the case may be) and unlimited computer access is a very dangerous thing.

I don't think the Grendel will make major. Why else would the AMU go with the .30 Gremlin for Daniel Horner to shoot the USPSA Multigun Nationals? By the way, was done with Non Canister powders.

Thanks Dan - I thought the data I saw on the 120 & 130 gr loads was making it (2700 fps/20" barrel) but I have no practical experience. I do recall reading about the Gremlin.

Anyway Dave, bring your 120gr+ whatevers and we'll help you out.

Sorry about all the rain for the next few days guys, but I had to get it through to make sure Sunday was clear for our match!

We still have a few spots left.

Sorry, but will not be trudging through the mud while I'm trying to heal. But will try next year. Sounds like fun. Good luck and stay dry.

How's the match? Sorry I missed it.

What a fantastic match!

We had competitors from all over New England - thanks for driving down to shoot with us.

Also, thanks to the great crew and support from Northwestern CT Sportsman's Association.

It was a Savage Scout vs Ruger Scout match for sure in the Scout category. I'll keep you in suspense until the scores are posted, but will say that both performed very well and are awesome rifles. Look for scores, and photos, to be posted here: http://www.nwcsa.org/2011/02/scout/ .

We'll hold a random drawing to the slings once they arrive (OK - once I get to the Post Office to pick them up - probably tomorrow) and mail them, along with the awards, out to the winners!

Thanks again and see you soon,

Craig

A BIG thanks to Craig and his team for putting on a great match!

What a unique way to use a simple target array and a few props to develop challenging stages.

More pictures here.

Nice pictures! That looks like fun, wish I had a rifle set up to meet the requirements, I would have tried to shoot this.
