Ok so I just got the cool Magnum Research rifle - Mercedes - a week ago... and signed up for a 4 day precision rifle class... NOW I find out that to qualify for that class I need to take and get a distinguished graduate certificate in a Tactical rifle class...
What's the problem? Well the Tactical rifle class requires you to shoot around 700 rounds in 4 days... WAY more than I want to put through Mercedes... And it tests shooting out to only 200M, but with a time presure.
So now I have to buy ANOTHER rifle for that class, take it, pass with distinction, and only then will they allow me to take the 1st of several precision classes... DAMN!!! :x Since when do I need to qualify for this stuff
So the question is what is a CHEAP decent rifle bigger than 22LR that can shoot well to 200M, minimal recoil, and which I don't have to worry about putting 700 rounds through?
Of course to be sure that I pass with distinction I'll probably need to spend 10 hours a week on the range BEFORE I go to Nevada
... This is getting awfully expensive in a hurry LOL
Ideas guys?
PS - can either be bolt or SA (AK or AR15???)
