[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 225679, member: 8947"] I compete in F class so can share some rules. Any cartridge up to an including 8mm is allowed. Cartridges considered magnums are not (don't need them anyways). Rig weight is 10KG or 22lbs. Any safe trigger and scope. Forends can be max 3" wide. The rest is up to your imagination. Many shooters in my area shoot the 6BR. It is a superb choice out to 600yds. It certainly is not as good as the 6.5's or 7mm's as far as wind but recoil is way less. There are also many who shoot fast 6mm's like the 6 - 6.5X47Lapua and 6XC. If you plan on competing you might find yourself at a disadvantage to the other open cartridge choices as you will get bounced around alot more. However, it does do great in the varmint patch so that is your compromise. If you want to shoot F(TR), the 223 is very competitive out to 600yds and some are doing well out to 1000yds. The 223 is certainly useful to dispatch them PD's and running cost is 1/2 the 6BR. Always remember that with a Stevens, if you don't like what you have, take 15mins and change to whatever you want. Jerry PS if you go to 6mmBR.com and look up gun of the week #75, that is my rig which I compete with. There is alot of potential in those Stevens actions. [/QUOTE]
