I shot in my clubs end of year “Freezer Match” which is an unlimited match 40 rounds off hand, any rifle, any optic.

It was a beautiful day for a match sunny and clear around 50 degrees.

I brought my hunting rifle a Tikka T3 30-06 lite. What a work out slinging 40 hot 180 grain loads downrange from a lightweight bolt action is. It turns out not to be great for matches, barrel heats up and finding the target with a glare off hand is a challenge. But it was a fun time I am looking forward to next season!
