F/TR NEW RIFLE BUILD

Post by Jase PTRC »

Hello im new to this forum and new to F class shooting. After shooting in F std the last few months with a factory rifle I have decided I want to shoot F/tr. What im asking for are some ideas for starting points. eg Barrel length, twist rate, Action type stock etc etc. to help guide me in the right direction to plan out my build. Hopefully I can get some usefull ideas from more experienced people cheers

Phil Jones at Redback Precision Equipment near Stanthorpe in Qld also had a few on hand about 6 months ago.
Extreme accuracy and precision shooting at long range can be a very addictive pastime.
