So I live in Central PA, and have finally found a local (within 30 minutes) shooting range that has a 1000 yard course. Checking out their website, I see that they hold numerous competitions there.

One of these is the Silhouette competition.

This interests me, but I know nothing about it.

Is it possible to use a "hunting" rifle for these competitions?

I currently own a Savage 111 in 7mm Rem Mag, and a newly purchased Stevens 200 in 7mm-08.

Would either of these do?
Any specific loads?
Scope options?

Thanks
