So far I have a rifle with a 20 moa rail fitted.

What else do I need equipment wise to begin competing??

Hi Ogre

I used 44gn of 2209 and 139gn Lapua Scenars, stick with them as you need the higher BC. I think the velocity was 2850fps.

Check the VRA Store for a F Class by pod and get yourself a rear sand bag and fill it tightly with heavy sand.

I had a Simmons 44MAG scope on it when I started, the 20min rail gave me all the elevation I needed for all the ranges, they have the turets for windage and elevation and AO for your paralax ajustments.

I hope this helps Pat.

Cheers

There may be a couple of clubs closer, but I'd recommend either Lang Lang RC or Fitzroy/Caulfield RC (at Glen Forbes) - both have a few F-Class shooters who would help you with getting started. PaulMcc (Lang Lang) and John E (Fitz-Caulf) are both members on this forum so you could PM them to tee up a Saturday shoot.
