Tactical Rifle - Diggle etc

[The Gun Pimp]

Diggle accept visitors for four visits per year. Visitor fee is £15. However, there is no restriction on national comps - like UKBRA, GBFCA etc.

We run monthly tactical shoots and McQueen comps. ('tactical' usually means shot from a bi-pod (but not always) with multiple choice or moving targets usually at more than one distance).

Distances are usually 100 to 600 yards but we occasionally do 800 - 1000 yds.

Any centrefire rifle is OK. I use an 8.5-25 Leupold but you may as well buy something like an 8-32 Sightron and be done with it. Calibres? 308 is popular, so is 6.5x47 and 260 Rem

Would a 5.56 be suitable and is the shooting based on accuracy or a case of knocking multiple targets down? I assume their site would be the best place for info on the various comps?

A 5.56/223 is fine. All competition shooting is accuracy based but usually, in our tactical comps, if you choose a smaller target it gets you more points - if you hit it! The emphasis is on fun - always with safety uppermost of course.
