It's a tubb 2000 rifle. A friend of mine had one in .308, he has been getting good and decided he was ready to get one in 6.5X (It's the signature wildcat for that gun) Now I have a great rifle to use for high power matches.

Never having been a competitive shooter (outside one experience in a military match), I gotta ask...what type of courses of fire/ranges do you shoot with something like that in a competition? Is it all iron sights, or scoped? What are the rules on support re: body positioning and sling use (or resting/external support)?

All the G. david Tubb rifles are amazing. I got to shoot the Tubb 2k tactical, Amazing! What else do you expect from the most decorated shooter in high power history? Now you have to have a new shooting coat to match the scheme of the rifle.

I always thought a mountain bike biathlon would be cool. Until you crashed and broke your spine over your rifle.

I am not big on aesthetics, but that has got to be the ugliest rifle I have ever seen.
It's far worse in person

I wish I could afford a new shooting jacket, mine still fits but I need some shooting shoes and pants first
 
Don't listen to these guy's that thing is a work of art. 1/4 min. sights, hand stops and Anschutz trigger, Oh My! All you need is a spirt level and your ready for Camp Perry. I can see your next post now, "TheMontashu shoots a 500-47x in HP competition."

I freakin wish, my best rifle match so far has been was a 4P match, I shot a 358-29x. Right now for some reason I'm killing it in air pistol. There is an air pistol league at the gun club and last winter my average was 180.5

I have allot more trouble at longer range, I'm super bad at dealing with any change in wind or temperature.
