I don’t know about the pics. I can say that your concern about hot barrels was not a thing yesterday. If I felt anything with my numb hands it was a slight warmth to the barrel. Come summer that may be a factor. It will definitely be a know your rifle game.

Again, I really like this format better. You’re competing against yourself for the first half. This allows me to miss twice as much before I get to sit down and shut up.

Other than the gail force north winds, I like the new format and as always I had a great time. Especially, getting my first win against some great shooters!!! Thanks again Senior for putting on a great shoot, looking forward to the next.

It was a great shoot and the new format is definitely a winner. The wind kicked my butt but didn't seem to affect some of the others as much. Spotted for Scooter on one relay and watch him just poor in the shots on the 5" target, great shooting. Thanks Sr, Jr and David for another great shoot.

I was discussing with someone at the match about the 36mm tube and the Spuhr Mount having an offset where you would mount the Send-It level, making it unusable without a spacer that would have to be made. You may already know this but they do sell an extended offset that will work off of the rail if that’s an option for you. There is enough room on the tube for the send-it depending on the length of your rail and how the scope is positioned in the Spuhr. Anyway, I’m terrible with names and don’t know if you’re even in this forum but it’s a thought.

The extended mount

The available space

Anyway, good luck. I’m just going to use the extended rail mount since I don’t have access to tooling to make the spacer myself. There is a crazy guy down the street that has a cnc mill, I may have him make 500 of them on the cheap. Then I might have something.

When I shoot it, I use my semi custom Tikka 6.5CM built by Tony. Think the highest I've gotten was 2nd (Lost to Bailey). It is definitely doable with 6.5CM though.

I believe this winner was shooting a .260 ai. That’s about as 6.5 as it get. I know the Creedmoor is baby Jesus though so I’m sure it’s a winner.

The wife and I shoot 6.5 CM's. Remington 700 5R's.
She finished 2nd in one match and I also finished 2nd once. First time I shot my gun I won the cold bore.

Ultimately it's more about the Indian than the arrow.
