Depending on where you go for the match, they can vary a lot. Some have 300+ yd movers, crawling , shooting of pallets. Ranges can run from 200 to 1200 yds.
Tube guns are for another sport.
I use Sako TRGs 22, and a 42, and a Ruger precision. Optics run from Razors 5x20. Night force, and Zeiss.
Best thing is to go shoot or watch, ask questions and see if it interests you.
while high B.C. are a great asset, extreme spread in handholds or store bought is almost more important.
dealing with a 10-20 moa side wind at 1000 yds, is bad enough, but 10 moa difference in impact from extreme spread is impossible.
also 6.5s , 6. etc. go through barrels just like a 243. so barrel life is a reality. (lack of)
