understand the point but the comment was made along the lines of  entering factory to increase your chances of winning, just stating that is the same as shooting both LG and HG isnt it.

no one should be forced to buy another gun because their paddock gun has a new tube on it.

As for cost of a new gun, that isnt the whole point. It is a run what ya brung event and most varminters have screwed new tubes in their guns. If cost is the issue then my counter argument is I have enough access to tooling and good machinists to get a new tube for well under half the cost of a new gun.

I have been promoting 300fly on AusVarmint forum and have received quite a few PM's about shooting it with a varmint gun, but you guessed it, they have aftermarket tubes.

My whole point in raising this issue is the fact that I think the current mutually agreed upon rules could be modified to be a little more tolerant of non factory barrels.

Factory is one way  that both my son and I can shoot more often with a very limited budget and has been mentioned here the whole point is to shoot more.

anyway only my opinion.
