I would eventually like to compete, but not sure if this rifle is up to it or if there's any clubs or match type shooting in the area. Off the bat, get it sighted in at 100 yards and have an accurate rifle for SHTF. I do know the closest range over 100 yards is 2 hours away, there's a 25/50/100 about an hour away, so I have to be prepared before I go.
Thanks for the reply, opened my eyes, I have research to do, and never excelled at long-term planning.
EDIT: I read that I posted this rifle may not be up to it...silly, I might not be up to it though I was consistent Expert w/M-16 in the military but haven't qualified in years before I just qualified for the reserves 2 months ago and barely qualified as Sharpshooter.
