If you think you have cross shot onto another target, we will stop shooting and check targets.

Each Target will be numbered, corresponding to the Shooter’s Bench Number.
The Shooter and his Spotter only will be allowed on the line, to set-up the shooters bench.
This year there will be a line marked, so it will be clear where the shooting line is.

Spotters can only spot for and advise the shooter. No coaching from behind the line permitted.

When the command to ground and unload all firearms is given (for whatever reason) by the line commander, the shooter must unload his gun, insert safety flag, and back away at least 2 steps away from his table.

Ernie, sounds like a hoot. I wish I could make it. That would be a great test for my Striker-IF I ever get it done.

Waht will it be chambered in?

That is the problem. It is now a 308 and I am stuck as to keeping it 308 or rebarreling it to something more exotic. Any sugestions??

It really depends on what you want to use it for.
If you are thinking a comp like the one in this thread, a 308 would not be a good choice IMO.
So what uses and distances would you like your Striker to be useful?

Ernie, PROBABLY target only, since I use my Encore handguns for most hunting. The longest range we have around here is only 600 yards, so unless someone builds another, I'm pretty much stuck with that distance as max.

I would rather go with a 1-8 twist 243 Win or 260 Rem over the 308.
Lighter recoil and much flatter shooting to 600 yards.
