This challenge is designed to test your skills as well as your equipment. I will keep up with the rankings as we go along. Please read and follow the rules or your entry may not count. The Rules:ALL targets must be shot from 100 yards. 20 rounds will be scored, flyers included. The rifle can be shot from any position as long as the shooter is supporting the rifle. Bipods, slings, and rear bags are ok to use. NO bench rest, lead sleds, or machine rest may be used.All 20 rounds must be fired on the same day, from the same rifle. Iron Sights will fire two 10 shot groups at the reduced 600 yard NRA targets. Scoped rifles will fire two 10 shot groups at the target listed below (different targets are ok, just make sure both groups are on the same piece of paper) Iron sighted rifles and scoped rifles will be ranked separately. Please have your post in this Order:1) Picture of rifle and setup. 2) Picture of 100 yard range. 3) Picture of target (optics) or targets (irons) with 20 rounds through them. (place calipers or ruler laying over one group for reference) 4) Description of rifle and ammo used. 5) For optics, list your group sizes and the average.

The rifle can be shot from any position as long as the shooter is supporting the rifle. Bipods, slings, and rear bags are ok to use. NO bench rest, lead sleds, or machine rest may be used.
I'd like to give this a try, but does the rule above say you can't shoot off a bench, or just not use a mechanical front rest off a bench? Bipods, and rear bags in Prone only ? Hope I'm not sounding stupid here L O L.. Thanks, Bill

Shooting from a bench is fine as long as you are using a bipod, sandbags, sling, shooting off a pack, etc.... Just no mechanical rest or heavy front rest that sits on the bench. Go ahead and shoot it, you have a good chance at coming in first place.

I guess I can claim first place for the time being, even with these sorry attempts. Scoped rifle entry: Rifle: AR-15 with a 18" Douglas SPR barrel chambered by CLE, Nightforce 2.5-10 scope. Ammo: LC-09 brass, CCI BR-4 primers, 69gr Sierra MK, 24.5gr. of RL-15, 2.255" COAL Group sizes: 1.029 MOA + 1.463 MOA / 2 = 1.246 MOA Iron sighted rifle entry: Rifle: AR-15 A4 with BCM 20" gov't profile chrome lined barrel 1/7 twist, all standard AR parts. Ammo: LC-09 brass, CCI BR-4 primers, 69gr Sierra MK, 24.5gr. of RL-15, 2.255" COAL Score: 88 + 79 = 167-0xGroups: 3.580 MOA + 3.060 MOA = 3.320 MOA

Prepare to learn. It's a Rifles Only MAD (mirage and heat cover)It has a heat shield on the inside and cordura outside. Basically, puts a damper on the heat coming off the can to keep it out of your scope and also lets you handle it when it would otherwise burn you.

Headed to Bozeman until Thursday. If I catch my ride back to Hotlanta will try Friday evening or Sunday afternoon. Can I shoot a .308? Ruger SR762.

Yes, I'm planning on shooting my .308 sometime this week so it will be good to have some competition.

Can we alter the targets any? My 1-6 Leupold's thick reticle covers the target and just won't allow for a decent aiming point.
The iron target would work better for both my 1-6 and my acog.

Yes, any target is fine. If you can, just try and get both on the same piece of paper for scoped rifles.

To keep it as similar as possible, this is what will shoot, if no objections.

Just enlarge it until it fits the crosshairs, which is what it looks like you did!
Man y'all are making me itchy...few more long weekends and I'll be looking for the copier at work!
Now that I think of it, I swear I had 100 yard targets in my hands many years ago.. who might know where they might be though, that might have easily been 20 years ago... ugh.

TWR, that looks fine. As stated in the rules, different targets are ok as long as they are on one piece of paper. Group size is what counts, picking the right target will make a difference. I posted a benchrest target as its what I usually use for load development but its not ideal for all optics and definitely not ions.

I have been training for my half marathon and finally ran it last weekend. All the GU packets full of caffeine and energy have me twitching like I have Parkinson's. I tried Saturday but just couldn't shoot what I couldn't see. Started to shoot irons but the range filled up fast and I spent my time catching up rather than shooting.
It's windy today but we have rain forecast for the next 7 days so it's now or never.

I hear ya, I was wiping sweat out of my eyes and trying to keep from getting burned on my plastic shooting mat when I shot my entry above. Not my best but good enough for first place. Had to start somewhere, might as well set the bar low.
