A step closer to trying CSR and have spoken with a friend with regards to the rifle. Looking at optics and wondering what others are using in this discipline? I thought about using my Leupold VXR Patrol 1.25-4, in a Burris PEPR mount which currently sits on my M&P 15-22... Good enough?

I have used that model and it was fine !

Using a Mark AR 6-18 now in practical class. A lovely under rated scope.

Leupold VXR Patrol 1.25-4 should be good for CSR Service Optic, assuming enough elevation for 600yds.

For Practical class you’d probably want more mag.

Cheers Brian. I was looking for an excuse to put a red dot on the Smith' anyway!

Yeah, but they just seem to look out of place to my eye!

I'm using my AR15 for general club competition and need a bit more magnification for my aged eyes, so have replaced the Primary Arms x4 prismatic scope with a heavier Leupold VX firedot 3-9, lovely and clear but a bit chunkier than looks proper.

I too would be interested in knowing a little more about CSR, considering giving it a try. Would my Steyr Aug be good enough (I would have thought that many people are using either Bradley Arms, Lantac, SGC or Valkyir Rifle).

Also, my scope is a Vortex Viper PST Gen I 2.5-10×32 FFP Illuminated in with EBR-1 reticle (MRAD).

Is a sling a good idea, due to the various shooting positions?

I use a 2.5-10x40 PST in practical optic. The low mag is OK for UCM I like bowl for short range match and 10x for further away.

With your AUG and that scope you should just have a go up at Diggle, you'll be fine.

I'll be back up at Diggle soon as my new 18" Raven arrives.

Thanks BamBam, now that I have finished my studying (for the moment), I intend to go and watch the CSR match on the 14th to see what it's all about. Do you recommend a sling?

I've got a sling, but not practiced with it. With the AUG a sling might get in the way of your charging handle?
