Reasonable arguments there Anthony, but the rules currently do not state that. They say it must be a factory barrel, now I can't buy factory sako L461 barrels.  I think Les idea of adding must be able to chamber and fire a factory round is a good amendment.

The other rules ie stocks, trigger and scope restrictions pretty well stop the pseudo custom factory build when combined with the above amendment re barrels.  As 300 is not a registered match I don't really see the issue, the match committee should have the final say re factory or custom if there is any ambiguity.

Yes it is supposed to be a starter style category but I shouldn't have to buy a new gun every time I wear a barrel out, especially as my factory gun will double as a paddock gun and see some hot varmint sessions.

It's something that needs some lively discussion and some reasonableness applied.
Just my two cents anyway.
