Thread: F-Class

Thanks @ebf - will definitely follow your suggestion re: 'Try before you buy'. Having ears that are on their way out (too much noise - of every kind), I definitely need sound moderators on my rifle and on rifles nearby. $11500 hearing aids aren't all that flash for controlling excess noise . Budget will definitely restrict shooting to 'social activity' or being a 'detail filler' on the day. From the rules NZNRA put out for F-TR and FO, I've interpreted that moderators are acceptable. In my younger days (303, 7.62 NATO), military stocks made me a bit 'recoil shy'. Having popped some 'caps' on a 50 BMG, and a 500 S&W Magnum, in the States, I think I'm over this now . While competition does improve your performance, LR shooting is a retirement hobby for me. So will probably have something along the lines of your Omark - without the 'upgrades' that you've put into yours. Time will tell if I have the ability - desire isn't a problem. .

Keep an eye on TM for guns, recently 2 came up that went for $500 (name starts with G cant recall the spelling) and they are good guns.
