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
