RIFLES ALLOWED. Rifles used in the Rimfi re Sporter Rifl e Match must be

standard sporter-type rimfi re rifl es that meet the following requirements:

Overall weight may not exceed 7 ½ pounds, with sights. If a sling is used, it may be removed when the rifle is weighed.
The stock may have a sling swivel, but it must be fixed in one location (rails with adjustable sling swivels are not permitted). Thumbhole stocks, adjustable butt plates, adjustable cheek pieces and rails or adjustable (moveable) sling swivels are not permitted.
Any safe rimfire rifle with any type of action may be used. Rifles must be chambered for the .22 cal. long rifle rimfire cartridges; magnum rimfire or .17 cal. rimfire rifles may not be used. Rifles should have a magazine or tube capable of holding five rounds so it can be used during rapid-fire stages. Single shot rifles are permitted, but using a single shot to fire five shots in 30 seconds in rapid-fire is difficult.
The trigger must be capable of lifting a three-pound weight when cocked.
Telescopic, receiver or open sights may be used. Shooters who use rifles with telescopic or receiver (aperture) sights compete in the T-Class.
Scopes are limited to six power (6X). If a variable scope is used, the power adjustment may not exceed 6X and it must be taped in that location. Any rifles with receiver (aperture or ‘peep’) sights must be used in the T-Class.
Shooters who use rifles with open sights compete in the O- Class.
A standard leather or web sling no wider than 1 ¼ inches may be used in the prone and sitting or kneeling positions. Slings may not be used in the standing position to provide support, but the sling may remain on the rifle.

Course of FIRE

Sighting Stage, 50 yards, unlimited sighting shots, prone position, 10-minute time limit. Competitors may fire as many sighting shots as they wish during the 10-minute time limit. The scorer or another competitor may spot shots and assist the competitor in sighting in his/her rifl e as long as this does not disturb other competitors. A rest or support may be used in this stage only.
Stage 1, 50 yards, 10 shots for record, prone position, 10-minute time limit.
Stage 2, 50 yards, two series of five shots for record, standing to prone, rapid-fire, time limit is 25 seconds for semi-autos, 30 seconds for manually operated rifles. Rapid fire series are five-shots, both because more shots cannot be loaded in some rifles and because this tests the shooter’s ability to quickly assume or stable firing position.
Stage 3, 50 yards, 10 shots for record, sitting or kneeling position, 10 minute time limit.
Stage 4, 50 yards, two series of fi ve shots for record, standing to sitting or kneeling position, rapid-fi re, time limit is 25 seconds for semi-autos, 30 seconds for manually operated rifles.
Stage 5, 25 yards, 10 shots for record, standing position, 10 minute time limit.
Stage 6, 25 yards, two series of five shots for record, standing position (shooter must start with rifle butt at the hip), rapid-fire, time limit is 25 seconds for semi-autos, 30 seconds for manually operated rifles.
