Wagga 300m fly rules

Hi all, At last months meeting of Wagga branch of the SSAA we voted to modify the 300m fly rules for our two major fly shoots per year.

For some reason I cant post attachments at the moment so I have just cut and pasted below.

Just for everyone's information.

cheers

300 Metre Fly ‘Factory’ Class –Wagga
only applies to fly matches – not to Wagga club competition)

A long range entry level event with the ‘Fly’ novelty factor.  Both high velocity/low BC and low velocity/high BC can be competitive at this range.  This event should satisfy the urge of hunters, varminters and ‘tactical’ shooters to test their skills in a competitive environment.

The rules have been drafted to reflect what is most commonly used in the field, both in terms of  makes and models and common accuracy tweaks.

Rules-

Any standard rifle from a major manufacturer ( no catalogued ‘target’ models or custom shop versions).  A list of specialist makers whose rifles are excluded is being developed and will be listed below.  Single shot models are permitted.

Allowable modifications are limited to action bedding, barrel free-floating, altering length of pull and adjustment, alteration or replacement of trigger (trigger must be safe, that is it must not discharge if the but is bumped firmly on a hard surface).  

Stock to retain its original shape and weight with a fore-end no wider than two and one half inches (2.5”) .  No attachments other than a bi-pod if desired.

Barrel replacement limited to a similar profile to the original available in that model in either the original or other catalogued calibre for that model.  A factory round must chamber in the replacement barrel.

Scope power limited to 25X.  Higher powered variables to be set at 25X and taped.

Muzzle brakes are NOT permitted.  If  factory fitted and not readily removable they must be sleeved to make them non-functional.

Rifles may be shot from sand-bag type rests or from a bi-pod.  Magazines, when fitted, may NOT be loaded.  All shots to be taken from single loading only.

In the event of a dispute regarding eligibility for the class the decision of the protest committee is final.

Conduct of matches as per normal Fly rules.

Specialist Makers (incomplete list) –

HS Precision, Robar, Christensen, Cooper, etc.
