Thanks, I am thinking I may try factory class as it would not cost me anything new to compete. I have a few rifles that would put me in modified class (if I can make weight.)
I know there is a learning curve to all this and I am trying to make sure that what I think I know is correct.
I have a Remington 700 in 223 with an H.S. Precision stock on it (that is what the factory used at one point) that I painted the stock on for dog hunting. I think I could use this in factory class but not sure. It does have some lead added to the fore end but would still make weight. If that is illegal in factory class, I have another stock just like it that is bone stock that I could switch the barreled action to.

My goal is to shoot a match or two and see how I like it before sending money on a gun to shoot other classes with.


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....
