AAR – Long Range International – DMR - #01/09 (Pics)

Meeting and learning from the Wolf was one of the highlights. The opportunity to "shut up" and listen to a "student" with several decades of acquired firearms wisdom was a privilege and educational.

Oh and he makes Clint Eastwood look like a fairy.

The Wolf is unbelievably tough. Almost 70 and he shoots and physically exerts himself all day. He can rebuild a car, hit a target a mile away, and wire a house. he's one of those old men you just don't mess with. Tougher version of Clint's character in Gran Torino.

LL are you going out for PR1 in September?

LL are you going out for PR1 in September?

I'd like to but work is a problem right now. I'll let you know if things work out.

Check, I'm trying to fit it into my budget as well (while keeping my marriage intact) but I'm going to figure out a way.

I've got a Viking class to do in November which all told is about seven classes in a year. Funny that it doesn't seem excessive to me, my wife thinks I'm crazy though she loved the write-up.

Do you have to be military/LEO to take a class with LRI?

Nope.

Nope.

Thanks! Your AAR really has me thinking about a class with them. It looks like a great class with some quality shooters and instruction. My only problem is that I don't have a 1000 yd rifle. I have a MRP in 6.8 and a LaRue OSR on order, but I think that will still be 6 months until it is built.


If I ordered a 18" barrel for the 6.8 what kinda distance do you think it would cover?

DMR or Precision Rifle I? We'd be glad to have you out there.

Probably both eventually. Probably DMR first. Have to figure it out how to swing it.

Great write up. I need to get out there to update my DM article. Sept? When is the DM class so I can look at my scheadual. Other then a NYS Law Expo, I might have a slot open.

Your MRP would be perfectly adequate for the DMR class. You don't need a thousand-yard rifle for that. The optic is a bigger issue than the rifle but one guy (my spotter) used an AR/EOTech and was making good hits at 600 with some spotting.

If you're looking for the Precision Rifle class I believe they have loaner rifles for you to use. I actually think I'm going to hold of on getting a bolt gun until after I take PR1 just so I can learn what I want and don't want in a precision rifle.

With the caveat of having no experience on the 6.8, With a ranging ACOG I don't see why they can't get you out to 600 yards pretty easily.
