i could surely improve my garden variety Vortex scope for much better optics and be competitive. with CCI SV, i can barely measure group sizes at 25 yards. at a junkyard shoot, i became really unpopular in a random 125-yd shoot out at clay pigeons. i could see my bullet in my scope in the rainbow arch to the target. i got it dialed and was breaking clay pigeons while the AR guys were dicking around with their scopes. as my penance they made me do the walk to replace the targets.
i might look into this Base class. hmmmm...

Vash, this is the same boring MarkII you have it's just stainless. All I have read is the Mark II is accurate out of the box. I was dead set on the stainless barrel action. The limitation is I am Left-handed, I could only get this action left-handed in the Boyd's stock which was extra. The gun less all the ad on's , scope, mounts, bi-pod, etc. was $430.00 all in including shipping. If I was right handed I could have gotten the stainless barreled action in a savage stock for about $250.00.
Yes, look into it. The matches I have watched in my area are going out to around 220 yards hence the Vortex with bullet drop compensator, but it is not necessary. Start with what you have and upgrade as needed. Oh, the Boyd's stock may knock you into the open class in NRL.22 as the Boyd stock for you is a "customization". In my case Savage offered the ruffle with the stock and they can pull it up on the internet and find an MSRP.
My goal is to build the cheapest gun I can and compete against the other guys. In time I will build my own stock take the barreled action and goodies, drop them in and mve to open class against the other guys.
