In, #2 on the list.

While we have all seen Travis' long range shooting, I'm not quite sure how "Dynamic" and "long-range" rifle shooting will fit together.

It's during the week? Hallelujah! I'll tell my wife I'm out of town on business and take vacation from work!

Wish I could stay a few extra days. But my funds and schedule don't allow it :-(

ARGH, this is 1 week after our Portland Handgun 1 class. GRRRRR. Do want to take this.

[htxred]

i know what they'll be shooting... i just found out actually lol...

at least i think i know.

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

Kind of a question for Magpul (or whoever will teach the class), are 7.62 bolt actions preferred? Are semi-autos in 7.62 or 5.56 OK?

From the mention of moving and multiple targets, I would take it that the class is a practical guide to long range shooting rather than a total focus on the minuta of precision shooting?

For this class, what would be the preferred optic power range?

[decodeddiesel]

Boy this leaves a lot of possible equipment decisions open. I wonder if an SPR type rig in 5.56 would be a good decision, or a bolt gun in .308, or a semi .308 SASS type gun.

Jeff, or Magpul care to shed any light onto the subject?

[USMC03]

Weapons can be bolt guns or Semi auto SPR, OBR, SASS type rifles, basically a weapon that is scoped that holds a 1 MOA or better.

Round count: 400 rounds min.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you going to be running?

[USMC03]

If you don't mind me asking, what are you going to be running?

I don't know yet Brother. If I run a bolt gun I'll run either my Remington 700 LTR (.308) or my Accuracy International Artic Warfare (.308)

I have been tossing around the idea of using my run and gun competition AR for this class because I have a LEO Only 3 gun match at the same range 2 weeks after this class and they usually have a couple long range stages set up. Running my competition AR will be dependant on me having a Nightforce 2.5-10x32 and enough 75 grain Black Hills for the class and the match.
