Sorry to resurrect a zombie thread but I had to share - I'm a bit over a year into my restarting of USPSA and I just got bumped to "B" in Production. Thanks to everyone here for helping me get started, it's been a fantastic time!!

Hi everyone, I have a Savage 111 Trophy Hunter XP that I'm working on turning into a beginner's F-class rig (me being the beginner). I bought a 30" Pac Nor barrel in 6.5x284. I need to upgrade the stock for this to work. The Trophy Hunter XP has an all polymer stock, including the "bottom...

Nature Boy - thanks for taking the time to type that all out, good info all around. As far as the rest goes, I was thinking this: http://www.grizzly.com/products/Bald-Eagle-Triangle-Windage-Rest-Cast-Iron/BE1153 I'm sure there are some out there that are fancier and whatnot, but I think that...

I did a bunch of Chrono testing and found out switching from reg small CCIs to magnum CCIs in my CZ75 SP-01 is good for about 15fps speed increase.

Ruger American in 7mm Rem Mag with a brake. My girlfriend shot it this year at a deer without hearing protection and her ear was ringing for a couple of days. She also sat next to it (with ears on) when I shot it and said the muzzle blast directed sideways was like "a hurricane of hot" or...

Soupy - I asked my mother"s friends (he shoots high power) and he said that frequently at his matches, off at the end of the firing line, there will be a few F-class guys that the match organizers let shoot too. I'm hoping to get to a match and then find out some more things like that. Jim -...

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! The only "issue" I've found is that there aren't as many places to shoot F-class...I guess I've gotten spoiled shooting USPSA where every weekend I have a match (or two) that I can shoot within 2 hours of me. Should be able to make a few matches next year...

Hi everyone, I'm planning on getting into F-class next year (probably have said that 3 times now, but I think the financial winds are aligning to make it a reality). What I'd be looking at for a rig is the following: Savage long action (trigger modified to be about 1.5 pounds) (already own)...

Thanks for all the replies and stories everyone. A few days after the fact and my eye is still doing well, so I'm going to say that I came out of it unscathed. Fortunately.

Hi everyone, Had a safety whoopsies today I thought I'd share. I shoot USPSA Production with a CZ75 SP-01 Tactical that I modded out pretty extensively (pretty much anything that Cajun sells is on it). I did all the install myself, so after a full season and probably 3k rounds downrange, I...

Answered my own question here: https://czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=68464.15 Slave Pin .06" x .76"

Hi everyone, Would like to disassemble my CZ 75 SP-01 Tact. When you push the decocker lever out, it's best practice to slide in behind it a pin to keep the sear cage together. Does anyone know what the dimensions on that pin are? I'd rather not wait till the middle of the week to get one...

I shoot an SP-01 in USPSA Production class and I run these: http://www.acmebullet.com/bullets-reloading-brass/9MM-Lead-Cast-Reloading-Bullets?product_id=456 Match load is that over 3.3 grains of Win 231 with a CCI primer and a COAL of 1.09". Regular primer (CCI 500) is good for about 905 fps...

So...what's a powder check die? I just glance in the die before I put the bullet on top....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I could pillage some of the stuff off of my Pro 1000 (case feeder, powder measure)... EDIT: and it looks like they fixed the primer feed issues?
