Chappo,

I think you are missing the point here.... LG & HG are both full custom class events pitted against others who want to compete at that level, and nothing is stopping you shooting any of your modified varmint rifles in one class and entering your custom gun in the other class... or in fact shooting the one rifle in both classes....  Factory class is totally different.

As for not affording a new rifle every 12 months.... by that logic you would be putting a new barrel in your varmint rifle that regularly.... costing circa $900 each time....  You can buy a new Rem700 in .223 or .308 for $963 and the barrel will last you for 3000+ rounds of factory class shooting..... or even a Tika T3 Varmint for $1300 full retail....

Cheers

Anthony
