[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 480278, member: 376"] Doesn't sound like they're using purpose-built F-Class rifles then, or perhaps are running some bastardized local version of the rules. F/TR allows rigs (scope/rifle/bipod) up to 18lbs ~3 oz, and F/Open rigs have a weight limit (scope/rifle) of 22lbs. While a repeater is certainly legal its not high on any build list for a dedicated target rifle. Comps aren't 'for the open class'... the majority of local competitors may happen to shoot F/Open, but I'd highly doubt anything in the match rules is stopping you from shooting F/TR. If there aren't enough (usually at least five) competitors shooting F/TR they may not break it out as a sub-class for awards, which does leave the .308/.223 guys in an up-hill battle against the dedicated F/Open calibers in the wind... but other places have more F/TR than F/Open so it works out. Overall, I think F/TR is growing somewhat faster simply because its less of an 'arms race' i.e. less dependent on your ability to afford new barrels in the latest calibers than it is your ability to read the wind. YMMV, Monte [/QUOTE]
