I just recently shot the Ozark 3 Gun Championship in Missouri($300,000 prize table) , which was my first big match. It was a natural terrain match and a helluva good time BTW. I outperformed my expectations, but realized I still have a lot to learn about the sport. I shot a 16" carbine length rifle and for the most part shot well, I hit the 400m target, but FTN the 500m. Most shots with the rifle were from 150-250m, which leads to this question...I want to build a rifle for 3 gun matches but I can not decide if an 18" is really needed...I've heard both sides, so I am now reffering this question...I'm leaning towards a BCM or Noveske upper...Any help would be great...
