F Class Rifle Build

Post by Paul Janzso »

Hi

If you can find a NRAA store near you, they will most probably have all the parts you need for the build, ie 20min scope rail and scope mounts, scope, barrel blank etc etc.
Most of these stores usually have a gun smith that is well known in the TR / Fclass scene and know what you need to start shooting.

What state do you live in? and do you know if you want to start out in F Class standard or jump in the deep end with F Open.?
This info will help with contacts regarding where you can get work done and source parts for the build etc.

Cheers
Paul

Hi

The South Australian Rifle Assn. store is at Wingfield, contact # 82445533.

They are on hollidays at the moment and will be open mid January.
SARA keep most items you will need to have your rifle put together and Phill Bradshaw does a lot of work for them. Phill is a TR shooter and has all the equipment to work on your Omark action and years of experience.

308 is standard if you use 155gn Sierra , Dyer and I think Hornady A Max projectiles, any other weight projectiles would put you in to F Open.
So stay with the 155gn projectiles, shoot F Standard and enjoy.

Cheers
Paul
