sounds pretty cool.  Too bad I don't have a gas gun that I can shoot well to 600yds right now..

Whats the round count going to be?

Totally interested.

Edit: Would bring +1 as a shooter as well. Looking to do something just like this.

What is a "gas gun"?

Gas operated bolt. Semi auto.

The match is now scheduled.

This will be a good match for those with SPRs. 3 Gun guys with optics on their M4s would also enjoy this. It's a competition but sill a really good time and a chance to learn from fellow competitors. As it get closer to the match date we may allow bolt guns if we don't have enough competitors signed up.

We have 7 spots left.

6 spots left.

I'm a bit confused. In the first post you say it's limited only for 5.56 but then in a follow-up comment you say that it's great for SPRs (5.56) and 3-gun guys with optics on their M4s (5.56). So which is it? I could be totally misunderstanding but I thought "limited" was non-magnified red dot only, which means SPRs would not be allowed.

It's not "limited" in the 3 Gun division sense. There are just two divisions in this match. Limited for this match is 5.56 / 223. Open is 308/7.62, 260, 6.5. We wanted to make it fair for those with 5.56/223 so we created a separate category. There are numerous 3 gun guys who shoot magnified optics on their AR (Tactical Optics Division for 3 gun). A good majority of those have trouble getting accurate hits past 300 yards. This would be a good chance for them to learn their holds / DOPE. Do you know "Kratz"? If so, he can probably explain it better then me. Basically if you have a gas gun with a magnified optic in the 5.56/223 to 308 range that can hit targets out to 600 yards then come on out.
